What
if Cinderella was thirty-nine years old and divorced with
a kid? Would Prince Charming still come and rescue her
from her evil ex? A selfless frugal housewife dumped by
her cheating gold-digger husband makes a dramatic turn in
life when her knight in shining armor sweeps her off her
feet and even lets her get her sweet revenge in MBC's hit
drama Last Scandal. In what some critics label as
the middle-aged version of Full House with more
crackling humor and emotional depth, Last Scandal
sees Korea's top actress Choi Jin Sil returning from her
highly rated drama Bad Woman, Good Woman to play a
gung-ho ajumma ("married woman") who lands a job
as a house maid for a self-absorbed, egotistic actor
played by Jung Jun Ho (Princess Lulu, My Boss,
My Teacher), who was reportedly lured into the role by
his co-star Choi. Offering an oasis of relief to
middle-aged housewives who may be tired of living
vicariously through superficial dramas that bear no
resemblance to their own lives, Last Scandal is one
memorable ride you will not forget.
Happily
married 39-year-old housewife Sun Hee (Choi Jin Sil) gets
the shock of her life when she is diagnosed with premature
menopause. On the contraire, her first love Jae Bin (Jung
Jun Ho) is now a popular actor, all smiles and basking in
fame and fortune. The unlikely pair run into each other at
Jae Bin's commercial shoot. Though twenty years have
passed since their last encounter, Jae Bin is disappointed
at the sight of his first love as a boorish-looking ajumma
and turns a cold shoulder on her. But fate brings them
together once again when Sun Hee becomes desperate for
money to pay off her husband's debt. Having no one else to
turn to, she resorts to her very last choice: Jae Bin. In
a hilarious take reminiscent of Hollywood's Indecent
Proposal, Sun Hee takes off her clothes in front of
Jae Bin and offers him one night of sex in exchange for
money. Just then, Jae Bin's manager Dong Hwa (Jung Woong
In, Rude Women) walks in, and in an attempt to save
his face, Jae Bin quickly introduces Sun Hee as his
live-in domestic helper - and just like that, Sun Hee
scores herself a job. But more trouble lurks around the
corner and Sun Hee is soon dragged into a bigger mess.
