The royal Princess Ja Myung Go,an epic drama in korea, is not just a legend.. it is true story of how love blinded the crown princess of Nakrang La Hee and betrayed her own country for Gugeoryo's crown prince Hodong, she sold her country for love. In the koreanovela, they added the fictional character princess Ja Myung, the half sister of La Hee, who in the drama made as the girl who Ho Dong really loves. In fairness to Ho Dong, even though he is so hateful in the story for using La Hee in revenge for Ja Myung's turning back in their love, thus, wanting to get her country Nakrang, have suffered emotionally... having to be the one to kill Ja Myung's father and can't do something to save his wife La Hee from death, i believe that in spite of the truth that Ja Myung is the one he love, he must have in return cherished La Hee.. how painful it is for having no strength to move on.

Ja Myung loved nobody else but Ho Dong, like what she said, he weighs heavy in the scale of her heart, but she chose her people (it's like rather frightening to have one person powerful in your heart).. onthe other hand, he weighs lighter in the scale of La Hee's heart, yet she chose him coz it's the truth, a simple little truth that holds her happiness, so why ignore it?... Oh, how can love built one's hope and dreams yet ruins one's life at the same time,,, there was no happy ending at all, but if dying together (Ja Mung and Ho Dong) with one sword struck between them, for that last embrace, is the happy ending, and so be it.

I hated Ho Dong, but pitied him as well.. in any case, will the ending of the story change if Ja Myung stayed as Puku with Ho Dong, if La Hee didn't loved him so much or Ho Dong only lead an ordinarylife.

''does love needs to be greater than desires?
or desires' much greater than love?...''

''will you fight for your love or choose what is more good for the many?''

In the end, there's only one choice to make... and last chance to be with the same feelings again... until death. I suppose it's a story about fighting and letting go of those feelings, in different consequences... but theirs led to their own destruction.

I have to agree that the ending have disappointed some of it's viewers, especially knowing that the planned episodes were cut due to low ratings and they have to make the story short and the ending revised as usual, yet i can say that they won to make it all heartbreaking.

I think that it has a much better story than QSD, unlike the latter which revolves around the main character.. i liked it how JMG made a bird's eyeview of everything, everyone has it's own story to tell.

Not to mention it's OST's Love Is Not A Crime and By Myself.. Oh so lovely songs, so pensive indeed.

..what can i say about it? this comedy drama made me such a cry-baby! you know the feeling when tears just kept on streaming down your face, you have to wipe them away in order to catch up with it's english subtitle... HAHA, i don't even understand how was that... i fact, sassy girl chun hyang has more heartbreaking scenes, but Househusband in it's simplest could tear a jerk out of you and i really mean it. Maybe it's the background song, or it's just that the actors are so effective.

I like this drama, our DVD copy is for keeps!

Addictive- yes, that was watching Sungkyunkwan for me at FIRST sitting. Imagine, I've finished 8 episodes (that was about 8 hours and so) straight! I had my sleep at early 3 in the morning, and again, another night-wrecking the next day (it has 20 episodes in lenght).

The quartet really got the charm to hook you up!

Lee seon joon? (played by Park Mickey Yoochun: JYJ member) smart and disciplined student who was the center of envy of the school president, who found himself fall for another man...Will he stick to his principles? Or will he disclaim principles for love?

Gu Yung Ha? (played by Song Joong Ki) gay or just too GAY(sweet and touchy)... He cherish his best friend Jae Shin so much! He was smart and tacky, and so cool that he was the charm of the this TV series.

Moon Jae Shin? (played by Yu Ah-In) tough rebellous guy with the bare chest flung on screen, :p he was so damn rugged cutie who has pure luck beside him (everytime he terrorizes at night).

Kim Hyun Shik? (played by Park Min Young) the main lead who used his brother's name and pretended to be a boy, due to untended events, she pursued pretending inside sungkyunkwan university that led to that so called 'SUNGKYUNKWAN SCANDAL' with Jae Shin.

I really like Song Joong Ki here, he was oozing with charm and cuteness while Yu Ah-In's smile melts my bone! ayieeeh!

It really had a good start but the end is a disappointment! I am not satisfied with the smooth take of the events on the last episodes. Though it gave cues to what happen to the quartet, it didn't gave anything about how the student president end up with along with the other characters (hmmm.. I guess the episode which he save the gaeseng suggests that he ends up with her..oh well!). I believe many will agree with me about this.

Another thing, the story run so smoothly to the protagonists, nothing heart breaking at all (well, if it really should be lively, we can do nothing about it), the rush in every episodes and the uncomprehensible (i can't understand it!) ending.

Wew!
