Drama Info from MBC Global Media

When a woman turns 39, she’ll think about getting Botox injections to cover up her wrinkles that don’t seem to recede well under cheap wrinkle removing cosmetics. She’ll also probably need to wear a corset to tuck in her flabby stomach and bulging hips but she’ll ignore such thoughts as she lives in a world where she thinks she’s still a nubile teenager. This is another TV drama that is presented to middle-aged women who dream of wonderful romances.
Going back and forth from fantasy and reality, this new-school drama, “Scandalous Affair” will bring back flashbacks of those days when their hearts fluttered when they met their first love. This drama is dedicated to middle-aged women who still dream of being reunited with their first love!
What if Cinderella was portrayed as a 39-year old woman with a kid? That’s the opening scene for this drama that tries to give hope to middle-aged women - who watch teen romances to vicariously relive the good ol’ days - that they can also overcome the constraints of their middle-aged lives and find true love once again.
A woman who has inner beauty is called a middle-aged woman.
They’ve learned the wisdom of life, which eludes the youth, as they are a year away from hitting the big Four-O. They’ve learned that real love is looking after their families first and foremost. They’re also humble and will be thankful when someone tells them that they look great. They’re beautiful in every way.
This drama will provide them with a solution in life that they themselves are not aware of.
Women are beautiful even when they are forty or fifty simply because they are feminine beings!

WOW!!!

My 'guilty pleasure' LTG-ssi

in a drama series with the awesome Choi Jin Shil and Cha In Pyo!

Totally looking forward to the new series.. hope LTG will get better in acting with a better character compared to his current series

.. and there's Cha In Pyo, too!

Thanks koala for the thread! mwah!

koalabear · January 2008

^ no problem...I was trying to translate the synopsis but my Korean brain is not well today haha...anyway nice to see Choi Jin-shil and Cha In-pyo act together again after Star in my Heart...one of the classic Korean Dramas ever

paigehk · January 2008

aw...Choi Jin Shil and Cha In Pyo..I missed them sooo much. Can't wait to watch this!!!

dramaok · January 2008

cha in-pyo + choi jin-shil. wow.

oh i think Lee Tae-Gon the actor isn't in here. the name came up because the director is called Lee Tae-Gon [이태곤 PD]. he directed 'lawyers' and 'love is unstoppable'...

and Moon Hee-Jeong is the scribe, not the aircity actress, Moon Jeong-Hee. not exactly the same, but same characters in different order [문희정, NOT 정희 ]. she wrote 'stairway to heaven' and 'rude woman'...

HUH?!? No?!? Not the same LTG?!?

Aish.. aish..

Thanks Mic... for the ckarification. Got to stick with DH and WB.. hahaa.. sigh..

Anyway... there are still CJS & CIP.

ya i know sadly not our do-hyeon-ssi..
so we gotta put up w/ the evil clown face more in order to see LTG's hottiness...

You're the first person I've ever met, other than myself, who rooted for Cha In Pyo & Choi Jin Shil. Seriously, before reading this, I thought I was the only person in the world rooting for that couple. I would take Cha In Pyo over Ahn Jae Wook any day. Especially now, looking at Cha In Pyo's beautiful marriage to Chae Shi Ra Shin Ae Ra, all his humanitarian works, and his ever so handsome looks compared to Ahn Jae Wook's sagging face.

I just opened up to Soompi and the first thing I see is Choi Jin Shil's and Cha In Pyo's names together in the same line!

I'm this

times a million right now. I've been waiting for this for over ten years now. Not just Star In My Heart, but they were in another drama together. I'm forgetting the name right now, but they were never a destined pair in that drama either. But now.. been waiting for so long.. it's finally come.. this casting better be final!

I'm praying this isn't a huge letdown like Choi Jin Shil's previous drama, Bad Woman Good Woman. I was really excited to see Choi Jin Shil and Lee Jae Ryong together in that drama but the story sucked so much I couldn't watch despite having one my favorite actors. Please don't disappoint!

ETA Sorry, I mixed Shin Ae Ra with Chae Shi Ra.

White Star · January 2008

great cast...hopefully Cha In Pyo gets the girl this time. There pairing is Star in my heart totally rocks.

+WS+

luvxholic · January 2008

ahhh the "star in my heart" couple!! that was one of my fav dramas and now again! i hope this time they end up together

im excited for this one!!

thanks Dramaok for the clarification...got me confused by the names myself...though I love the Cha In-pyo, Choi Jin-shil casting already

I think MBC's line-up for weekend dramas this year is getting fierce...getting big name stars to star in upcoming new dramas..it is really something to look out for

ME TOO! I was so rooting for Cha In Pyo! I always thought Ahn Jae Wook looked . . . "neu ggi hae" erf. AHAHAHA. I can't think of the word in English. XD

I really hope this won't be a letdown. The title sounds too . . . I don't know. Ordinary?

Choi Jin Shil and Jung Joon Ho lead the MBC drama "My Last Scandal (내생애 마지막 스캔들)"
tv/film news

by: CindyW88 on: February 18, 2008 6:10pm

2/18/08 -- Choi Jin Shil and Jung Joon Ho (최진실, 정준호) will lead the 16-episode weekend drama "My Last Scandal (내생애 마지막 스캔들)" scheduled to be aired by MBC on 3/8, following the final episode of "Winter Bird".

This comical-mellow drama portrays an ordinary divorced woman bumping into a top star who once was her first love and then falling in love again with him. CJS plays the bizarre and vivacious housewife Hong Sun Hee (홍선희). JJH plays the top star Song Jae Bin (송재빈). JJH states, "Prior to this drama, I missed a few opportunities to collaborate with Choi Jin Shil. I am glad that we could costar in this good drama."

Actor Jung Woong In (정웅인) plays the role Jang Dong Hwa (장동화) who is a CEO of an entertainment agency. He is somewhat cynical but has a warm personality giving Jae Bin full supports.
