MBC SYNOPSIS class ul When a woman turns 39, she’ll think about getting Botox injections to cover up her wrinkles that don’t seem to recede well under cheap wrinkle removing cosmetics. She’ll also probably need to wear a corset to tuck in her flabby stomach and bulging hips but she’ll ignore such thoughts as she lives in a world where she thinks she’s still a nubile teenager. This is another TV drama that is presented to middle-aged women who dream of wonderful romances.
Going back and forth from fantasy to reality, this new drama, “Scandalous Affair” will bring flashbacks of those days when hearts fluttered when they met their first love. This drama is dedicated to middle-aged women who still dream of being reunited with their first love!
What if Cinderella was portrayed as a 39-year old woman with a kid? That’s the opening scene for this drama that tries to give hope to middle-aged women - who watch teen romances to vicariously relive the good ol’ days - that they can also overcome the constraints of their middle-aged lives and find true love once again.
A woman who has inner beauty is called a middle-aged woman. They’ve learned the wisdom of life (which eludes the youth), as they are a year away from hitting the big Four-O. They’ve learned that real love is looking after their families first and foremost. They’re also humble and will be thankful when someone tells them that they look great. They’re beautiful in every way.
This drama will provide them with a solution in life that they themselves are not aware of. Women are beautiful even when they are forty or fifty simply because they are feminine beings! [Who writes this drivel?!]CAST & CHARACTERS

In his high school days, he was dumped by his first love, Na Sung-shil. He was dumped again by the first actress he dated after he entered show business. After getting dumped twice in life, he is thoroughly burned from the relationships he had with women. Since then, he never takes relationships seriously and keeps the women he dates at arm’s length. He is committed in staying single.
Currently, he is obsessed with his work. He’s been an actor for 15 years and although his image is different from who he is he does have adorable eyes and a knockout physique. His million-watt smile made him adorable to women. As the top symbol of a metro sexual type, he is widely acknowledged as a playboy in the public eye, as well as within the circle of women whom he dates. He is in the paper all the time for his numerous scandals and the women keep coming into his orbit. But he hardly lets himself get too involved and is always the first one to dump his partner. This is because he’s not anything like the person that people believe he is. He was voted as the cutest celebrity by winning more votes than a younger star!

Re: K-Drama: 내생애 마지막 스캔들 (The Last Scandal)
I caught an episode of this drama and I found it interesting. I wish it had ebglish subs. It isn't hard to figure out what is going on, but the subs would throw a light on the funny dialogue thst must be going on.
Maybe this will appear on a site later with subs. or maybe a clubbox.

I have really enjoyed this drama. Still trying to watch the earlier episodes with subs that I missed.
I, too, am not sure which bro she will end up with. I am hoping for Dongchul as well. Their fate seemed sealed way back in high school.
Hoon's mother is one dispicable woman...when and how are they going to tell Hoon that she is his mother? (he doesn't know does he?)

That's surprising, considering that my contacts tell me that MBC America is currently showing this KDrama with Eng. Subs.. hmmmm.... wonder if the So. Cal. TV station was too cheap to pay for the subs, or that MBC America has first showing rights with subs in the states.
