So I guess it wasn’t really the LAST scandal of his life
by javabeans
Some good news, and some potentially worrying.
MBC’s hit “ajumma Cinderella” drama The Last Scandal of My Life has been officially confirmed for a second season, to air on Wednesdays and Thursdays (moving from family-friendly weekends to prime trendy-drama territory) in October.
Not one to mess with a good thing, the production is keeping their talent pool intact, bringing back director Lee Tae Goon, writer Moon Hee Jung, and the two stars Choi Jin Shil and Jung Jun Ho. They’ve discussed the possibility of following this with seasons 3 and 4 (going for a more long-running, American serial feel, perhaps) if the second season proves to be a hit; the target ratings number given is 25%.
However — and this is what troubles me — apparently the characters’ occupations and situations are all undergoing a “change,” although the nature of those changes hasn’t been specified. Oh, please don’t muck this up, MBC.

Ooh~~ooh~~second season!! Although sequels and seconds aren't always good like Diane notes, I love this series soooo much that I'll support it!
Hope they won't be changing too much, cause if they do they shouldn't make a second season but a copy cat of this series~
Last Scandal, aja aja!

Ahhh!!! That is so awesome!! I completely fell in love with this series, and though I LOVED the ending, there's no way I'm going to complain about seeing more of such an adorable couple!!! Hmm... they better not change his career though. If the career thing is an issue, I can only see it affecting Sun-Hee. I wonder what they'll have her doing... can't wait!
Hopefully they won't mess it up! I will definitely watch it. ^_^

I don't know if I should cheer or otherwise. Much as I love the series, I don't know a sequel will be of any good with the first one ending on a high note.
I wouldn't mind their using the same cast and crew for a different story line though.

Soulmate didn't have the ratings Last Scandal had, though, so I can see how that fell through.

I've watched up to Epi 10 and loving it.
Haven't seen the ending so I don't know about having a season 2.
However, I think I would love it even if it's changed since I love the two actors interaction.

I have been an avid reader of your blog but have not watched this drama. I wanted to try it out after I had confirmed that it had a happy ending. But I am not so happy about the second season. The reason I love Korean dramas is because unlike American soaps they are short and have an ending. They don't run for twenty something years. Having said that I would watch sequels if they had the original cast and if I really loved the drama like Sweet Spy and Goong. Bye the way I was initially disappointed that you did not recap Powerful Opponents. I had a hard time understanding the drama without English subs ( I am not Korean). But I saw the last episode and it was not the happy ending I was expecting and the drama lost me around episode 11. Usually I agree with most of your choices and I think I will give Last Scandal a try.

do you think the second season will pull through? with Choi Jin-shil's suicide early October?

It's so bizarre reading the articles and posts made before Choi Jin-sil's death.

i hope the second season of LS is still on! any latest news pls javabeans? I just enjoyed & loved this drama -- at first when a friend recommended I see this i wasn't so excited about it & thought it's not that interesting but i just finished the dvd i bought & i just loved it! JJH & late actress Choi had a good chem. it's too bad she's no longer with us to continue with the role she played so well in this drama! This drama is one of the best i've seen, funny, sad moments too & i'm just so glad to learn they're going to be a second season. I can't wait really! I love Jong Joon -- he's a terrific actor!

Hi Javabeans! I recently got addicted to this drama. I've been putting it off the longest time but I decided to give it a try when I've read a lot of good reviews about it and when I read your drama recaps. Is there any chance that the second season will push through with a different female lead? If so, who do you think would be best suited for her character?
