There are a lot of similarities like, the main female lead is poor and helps people in malpractice. The main male lead is the one who arranged there entering into the school. The school is an all boys school so she has to dress up as a boy. The friends are now made up of 4 with the exact same personalities. It should be the chinese remake

Both dramas star Mook. The story line of both is also similar since they both focus on Mook’s character reuniting with an ex-boyfriend. There's motorbikes in both too, of course ;) Girl Next Room is the better of the two since I have some...issues with Mint to Be.

Because, female lead has strong character with wound in her heart. She does not believe in other people. She is a loner. But here come male lead in her life. They supposed can't be together but what could they do as they are madly in love with another? They stick together and fighting against destiny to be together.

Both dramas have a main couple with a 20+ years old age gap and a professionally successful female lead. Both dramas have the theme of sexual attraction and are depressing and angsty.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal is set near the end of the 18th century while Rookie Historian is set in the early 19th century.

Both female leads are feminists starting out on the career path of a government official. Said career path is illegal for women throughout Sungkyunkwan Scandal, but newly made legal a few episodes into Rookie Historian.

In Sungkyunkwan Scandal, the female lead is a Sungkyunkwan scholar, which -- to loosely connect the two dramas together -- was a typical starting point in the career path of a royal historian. However, in Rookie Historian, the government is in a hurry to fill the newly legalized positions for female historians, meaning that the women who want to become historians take the civil service exam without ever having attended university, drawing yet another divide between them and their male colleagues.


If you've watched Sungkyunkwan Scandal and wish to see further conceptualization of the career path and feminist movement that the female lead of SS started down, watch Rookie Historian.

If you've watched Rookie Historian and you're curious about what kind of university experiences the female historians might have missed out on during a time when such experiences were forbidden to them as women, watch Sungkyunkwan Scandal.

- definite tearjerker
- also centers around family relationships (very complicated family relationships) and friendships
