[Drama Quote] 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' Quote from Episode 1. / Chinese strategy.

"According to Chinese strategy books,
it is wisest not to fight and keep off misfortune,
and a renowned general avoids fighting the enemy he fears.
If there is someone your Excellency must be afraid of, it is the public."


-----------------------------------------


"ตำรายุทธวิธีของจีนกล่าวไว้ว่า,
เป็นการฉลาดที่สุดที่จะไม่ต่อสู้และหลีกเลี่ยงจากเคราะห์ร้าย,
แม่ทัพผู้ยิ่งใหญ่จะหลบเลี่ยงการต่อสู้ต่อหน้าศัตรูที่เขากลัว,
หากมีผู้ใดที่ท่านนายพลควรจะหวาดกลัว ก็คงต้องเป็นประชาชนของท่านเอง"

[Drama Quote] 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal' Quote from Episode 1. / Chinese strategy.

Yoon-hee arrives at the home of the man her family owes, which turns out to be the war minister’s household, also home to In-soo and his spoiled sister, HA HYO-EUN (Seo Hyo-rim). In a respectful tone, she addresses the lord of the house, saying she is here to “pay her respects” for his kindness. However, her words are very clever, as she says that his act will naturally attract people’s reproach, because people will say he used a high-interest loan to buy a young girl — she hopes that he will not be caught up in scandal because of her. She offers what coin she has, and promises to pay the rest.

The minister understands her words perfectly, interpreting them as a threat. She says no, all he has to fear is public sentiment. She knows the ancient Chinese war strategy that advises avoiding conflict if you know you’ll lose. This is her trying to avoid a fight.

Surprisingly, this makes him burst into laughter. He’s impressed that she knows military strategy and agrees that she is right; he should accept her repayment now, before public sentiment creates trouble. But this is his own strategy at play, since obviously she can’t repay everything right now. Leering at her, he declares that he’ll have to make her his. He’ll send for her in three days.



Park Min Young (박민영) as Kim Yoon Hee

The girl with smart and strong personality, she dresses as a man to gain admittance to SungKyunKwan college because of her ill brother. She becomes part of the group known as Jal Geum Sa In Bang (literally translated as “The 4 Pretty Boys”) in SungKyunKwan and developes a love-relationship with Lee Sun Joon, who is the perfect husband material.

Yoon Hee is a person that when she sees someone doing something wrong, she will follow that person until that person apologizes. Responsibility is very important to her, and she likes to solve everything herself. This personality often gets her into trouble, but her intelligence helps getting her out of danger.
