Can't Get Enough of Goong!

Konnichiwa, Annyong Haseyo, Magandang Hapon!

This is my new post entitled : "Can't Get Enough of Goong!". A synthesis regarding the hit Korean Drama, Goong [or in English, Princess Hours]. This drama was based on Korean comics called Manhwa [Manga's Korean counterpart]. The story was written by Park So Hee. It has 24 episodes, each filled with romance and comedy. This was aired on MBC, and has a very nice plot.

Plot Summary: [Warning: Spoiler. Read at your own risk!]

Goong is story about the love in face of tradition, politics,
and intrigue. Korea is a constitutional monarchy and the Royal Family
lives in a grand Palace, the Goong. Story opens with a startling
diagnosis that the King is terminally ill. Faced with the decreasing
popularity among the public for the Royalty, a grand wedding for the
Crown Prince, Lee Shin, is decided to be the best publicity move to
improve the image of Royalty and at the same time prepare Shin for
immediate succession. The intended bride? The headstrong, awkward, and
sweet spirited Shin Chae-gyung that just happens to go to the same
exclusive art school. Chae-gyung was betrothed to become the next Crown
Princess by her grandfather and Shin's grandfather.

As in life, humor maskes the pain in this beautifully shot drama.

Synthesis:

At first, you may find Goong boring, especially when they focus about the pre-wedding part. When the two are married, the flick begins in an instant. Chaegyung's feisty attitude and Shin's silence brings the greatest chemistry within the show. Although there are boring parts which I personally skipped [talking between elders, Min Hyo Rin's moments with Shin, etc.], I found the entire story amazing. The ending was just quite confusing, but over-all, it's soooo nice that I can't even think of a word to describe it.
