kdrama - princess hours


official website:
http://www.imbc.com/broad/tv/drama/gung/

drama title:
궁 (宮) / Goong
oso known as Princess Hours, or Palace, or Imperial Household, etc.

main cast:
Yoon Eun Hye as Shin Chae Kyung
Joo Ji Hoon as Lee Shin
Kim Jeong Hoon as Lee Yul
Song Ji Hyo as Min Hyo Rin

synopsis:
what if drama. what if south korea has constitutional royalty, like England? then this drama is about a commoner marrying into the royal family.

my score: 8 out of 10.
how i derived that score. i have always wanted to watch this drama, after catching some parts on Singapore TV. it was a brilliant concept (a comic book adaptation) brought vividly to life by excellent scripting. i even bought a copy of the DVD set some time back, but i gave it away to someone else. finally, i bought another copy and started watching it. as expected, the first few episodes didnt disappoint. and that is my current status of watching it.

why you should watch it:
  • it's a funny drama, not too much sob stuff. in fact, none so far.
  • there is eye candy, and there is a 2nd lead
  • and there is the forever optimist Yoon Eun Hye. btw, she BITES! at the end of that episode, there is a cute replay using teddy bears (who were not injured in any way in the making of the drama)
  • there are lots of teddy bears on show (mostly from the Teddy Bear museum on Jeju Island - Jeju Teddy Bear Museum)
  • if u are a fan of Baby V.O.X. (extinct korean girl band), cos Yoon left the band and started acting in this drama.
