PRINCESS HOURS (GOONG)[/u]
genre : comedy, romanceSYNOPSISSet in an alternate 21st-century reality where Korea possesses a royal family, this show revolves around the lives of the Crown Prince Lee Shin, and his new bride, Chae-kyeong. The depicted royal family in the show is modelled after the last royal family of Korea, which in reality reigned until the start of the Japanese Occupation in 1911 and was not reinstated after Japanese surrender in WW2.
The series starts off with the news that the King, Shin's father, is severely ill. With the grim outlook on the King's health, the royal family scrambles to find a wife for Shin, so as to allow him to take over the royal throne if the situation requires so. Despite being in love with another girl, the ambitious and talented ballerina Hyo-rin, who Shin initially proposed to. She, however, rejects him to pursue her ballet dreams. Shin eventually marries an average girl who he was betrothed to by his late grandfather in an old agreement with hers, the headstrong yet lovable Chae-kyeong, after he was rejected by Hyo-rin. Despite initially feeling nothing for Chae-kyeong, love eventually blossoms between the couple.
In the meantime, however, matters are further complicated with the return of Lee Yul and his mother Lady Hwa-Yong, who was once the Crown Princess before the death of her husband the late Crown Prince, who was the older brother of the current King. Yul and his mother were chased out of the palace some time after the death of his father and her husband respectively, and it is later revealed that it was so as the King had found out about the affair between Yul's mother and Yul's uncle, the current King. Yul's mother had returned with a sinister motive in mind; to restore her son back to the throne, which would have been his eventually, if his father had not died. A flurry of events descend upon the palace with the schemes Yul's mother carries out, and is further intensified by the various scandals involving the royal family, which are inclusive of the Shin's continuing relationship with his old flame Hyo-rin, and the budding love Yul develops for Chae-kyeong, his cousin's new found bride.
The first series ends with the Shin letting his elder sister Hyae Myeong ascend the throne, the 'real' marriage of Shin with Chae-kyeong in Macau, and the possibility that Chae-kyeong is pregnant with Shin's baby.
THE CHARACTERSShin Chae-kyeong (played by Yoon Eun Hye)Chae-kyeong is a student at an art high school. She wears training pants under her school uniform and uses slang on a daily basis. Despite her family’s difficult financial situation, she is lively and cheerful, and has creative talent. She hates Prince Lee Shin who attends the same school, saying that he has a prince syndrome. Because of her family’s situation, however, she is forced to consent to an arranged marriage with him. As she gets to know him better, she discovers his loneliness and begins to feel compassion.
While struggling to adapt to palace life, Yul makes his appearance. He is kind to her and this attracts her, but she can’t help thinking about Lee Shin. Chae-kyeong is an optimistic character who manages to deal graciously with the veiled attempts to take the throne. She brings a cheerful and genuine presence to the stony atmosphere of the palace and gradually changes other members of the royal family. See how this ordinary high -school girl turns into a respected princess.
Lee Shin (played by Joo Ji-hoon)Prince Lee Shin has won the heart of every girl in the country, but is fed up with fans that follow him wherever he goes. Born to a clever emperor and a beautiful empress, this arrogant prince has both intelligence and great looks. However, strict palace rules and heavy royal responsibilities do not allow him any private life or dreams of his own. He is so disillusioned that he no longer believes in family, love, or friendship. Living in his own sheltered world, his only pleasure is watching movies. He had a covert relationship with Hyo-rin, who is a ballet student at the same school. Because of plans for an arranged marriage many years before, he is forced to marry a spunky, ordinary girl but finds himself gradually falling in love with her. He is at the heart of a love triangle as his ex-girlfriend Hyo-rin intervenes after the marriage. The situation worsens as the second-in-line Prince Yul wishes to reclaim the throne.
Min Hyo-rin (played by Song Ji-hyo)Hyo-rin is a pretty, clever ballet student who dreams of becoming a prima ballerina. She is the first love and secret girlfriend of Lee Shin. He had proposed to her, trying to avoid an arranged marriage, but she declined, believing that her dream to be a ballerina was more important. After winning a competition, she realizes her true feelings for him. She befriends Chae-gyeong in the hope of winning Lee Shin back, just as Camilla did with Prince Charles.
One day, Hyejeonggung, the mother of Yul, who has plans to reclaim the throne, approaches her. With Hyejeonggung and Lee Shin’s friends, Hyo-rin manages to put Chae-kyeong in a perilous situation. Everybody thinks Hyo-rin is perfect, but she carries her own untold secret.
Lee Yul (played by Kim Jeong-hoon) Yul is second in line to the throne. He was still a child when his father died in an accident, leaving the title to Lee Shin’s father. He and his mother left the palace and since then lived abroad. He has lived a carefree life with no royal obligations, so his outlook and actions are no different from those of other ordinary high-school kids. Gentle, attentive, and intelligent, he likes gardening and reading. His character is the reverse of the haughty prince, Lee Shin, and he always takes good care of Chae-kyeong.
He was originally troubled by his mother’s ambition for the lost throne, but soon finds himself wanting to reclaim his title as he falls for Chae-kyeong.

actually citer ni is based on comic series.. dengar khabar.. masa diorang start shooting citer ni.. comic series PRINCESS HOURS ni masih belum complete..
overall.. citer ni best.. ada banyak conflict n ada certain tu macam berulang².. very² interesting story.. ada part yang funny, sedih, n of coz romantic.. ada satu part yang Chae-kyeong pergi melawat MUZIUM TEDDY BEAR.. it's really cute n amazing.. really wish kat malaysia pun ada muzium macam tu
to me the main actor (joo ji hoon) n the main actress (Yoon Eun Hye) dua² org ni memang padan.. walaupun ni kali pertama bagi dua² pelakon tu berlakon.. they are really good.. sesuai dengan character dalam drama.. jadi tak heran la dua² pelakon ni memang award untuk BEST ACTOR n BEST ACTRESS YEAR 2006..
khabarnya sequal untuk PRINCESS HOURS/GOONG 2 will be out late 2007.. ada lagi satu drama tajuk GOONG S.. don't get confuse.. GOONG S is totally different story.. bukan sequel untuk PRICESS HOURS/GOONG 1.. antara pelakon untuk drama GOONG S ialah SE7EN..
drama dia dah pun di tayang kat korea (of coz)
, taiwan, thailand n few more asian countries.. even kat america pun dah tayang.. kalau tak salah.. tak lama lagi citer ni akan di tayang kat 8tv.. bila?? i dont know.. satu je pesanan from me.. 'DON'T MISS THE SHOW'
