I will always feel that Capital Scandal should get more appreciation than it does. There's so much going for it that I don't know where to start.

What might put you off: it's not high budget.

What would suck you in: It's set in Japanese-Occupation Era Korea, which has lots of levels of society that are typically ignored but get their moment in Capital Scandal. Opposites Attract couple: he's a flashy rich boy who is just floating with the tide and she's a relic of a bygone era who is willing to go the distance for her country. We have a Bet Trope to start off their journey, but that's a tiny part of their overall development. There's essentially four leads, each with their own wants and goals. We have angst from past betrayal (not romantic), unrequited love, genuine friendship between men and women, amazing comedy, pining, full character arcs for everybody, badass women, the ManChild to Man trope, and the end, which was a real nail biter for me.

I cried. I laughed. It was amazing.
