Valentines Goong

How was everyones Valentines? anything exiting happen?  I spent the whole day watching one of my Favorite Dramas Goong, or what hulu plus calls it Princess Hours^^. If you havent heard of it Its a love story that pretends Korea has a constitutional Monarch. This was also a Manhwa or Korean comic. The main character Shin Chae Kyung played by my favorite Korean actress Yoon Eun Hye.  Is forced to mary Prince Lee Shin because of a pact made by there respective grandfathers many years ago.  While the show starts with an amazing wedding it doesnt end there as their story has just begun.  Lee Shin has a secret girlfriend and Chae Kyung struggles with being a commoner in the imperial palace.  Once Chae enters the Palace they change her from plain comoner to beutiful princess.  At this they do a good job of finding out fits that look really good on her. And slowly Shin falls in love with her just by being around her.

This show also folows what I call the traditional korean drama format. Being wich 2 guys are fight over the main girl.  Where the one Guy is true to his feelings but the girl just wants friendship. But the other guy likes the girl but wont fess-up to his fealings even though the girl makes it clear she likes him too.  And there is also another random girl that nobudy seems to care about but shes always around messing things up. Like 75% of the Korean shows I've seen so far follow this format. But for some reason I watch anyways.

Later in the show you find out Shin has an older sister Hye Myung played by Lee Yoon Ji. I have to say this chick is totaly awesome.  She hasnt been in alot of dramas but She was in Dream High wich was a really good music drama from last Winter.  Any way she shows up aroud episode 10 or 11 and totaly steals it! She doesnt have many lines but there all good, They make her character seem very mature and composed when compared to Shin and Chae.  She also seems to know how to keep the Queen Mother and King composed during all the random palace espionage that goes on in the drama.  I've seen this show twice before already but I always forget about her, but when she shows up shes totaly my favorite character.

Im at episode 15 now and ill probly finish this week. Its the third time ive seen it through and im sure it wont be the last time.  Its a really well made drama and anyone with hulu plus should give it a watch.

anyways later pyons!
