Goong

[edit]Synopsis

Goong is a story about young love in face of tradition, politics, and intrigue. In the imaginary world, modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy and the Royal Family lives in a grand Palace, the Goong. Story opens with the sudden death of the reigning the King. 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 the Royalty and at the same time prepare Shin for immediate succession. The intended bride? The headstrong, awkward, and sweet spirited Shin Chae Kyung that just happens to go to the same exclusive art school. Chae Kyung was betrothed to become the next Crown Princess by her grandfather and Shin's grandfather. After 14 years of living in England with his mom, Lee Yul appears all of a sudden. He is Shin's cousin as well as the former Crown Prince. Everything seemed to be going normally until Chae Kyung's optimistic spirit wins the heart of internally lonely, Yul. As the Crown Prince Shin and simple-minded Chae Kyung's relationship appear to developing deeper feelings, a series of scandals are exposed to the public right after the pair were officially announced married. Will love prevail all in a world of political pressures and martial hardships? Or will being in the spotlight of the public be too much for the young newlyweds to endure?

People advised me to watch this drama, so I did it.
I downloaded all episodes to watch on Easter weekend, because I wouldn't have internet, and watched it in 2/3 days.

Since I was afraid the links weren't full, I watched a few of each episode in advance, and what I saw made me speechless, and wanting to watch more and more... In the end, it was a bit disappointing.

It is totally surprising that those lead actors were newcomers in acting. They were so good, especially Yoon Eun Hye. The other actors were also great, just that since those were newcomers.... They almost blew my mind. It was pretty good.

It's a cute, funny and romantic drama :)

About the plot... I think they had EVERYTHING to turn the drama into an amazing drama.
Every episode was the same, they kept going with slow steps until the end, not adding twists or cliffhangers.
At the beginning, I thought it was good because I don't like those dramas when in the episode four the characters are already in love. But I watched the 4, the 5, the 15, the 18.... And it remained like that. All about jealousy and some cute scenes, but not much.

I think it was too long for that, only on the 23rd episode they start to show their feelings and a strong love... They could have make the drama shorter (16 episodes more or less) if they didn't know what to put more; they could show their strong love around the 16th episode and then add somehow a twist, like his dad almost dying or the cousin stealing the throne, and make the female character to support him or something....

The drama was a bit boring, I was waiting for more.
But It's still a great drama, and it's really funny :) read more

Full House

Playful Kiss

Both dramas have same screenwriter and the plot is kinda similar. Plus the actor who plays Oh Ha Ni's father (in playful kiss) and Shin Chae Kyung's father (in goong) is same : DD

Wow, I've seen until ep 4 part 1 now and I can't find any other mirror from there on... My korean sucks but I'm afraid I'l have to look for a mirror with subs I don't understand, if I can find a mirror for that anyway. If anyone knows something better though, please don't hold back! Just when it's getting better!

  Hulu.com is showing it. The subs are decent. Also try dramacrazy.net. I'm not certain they have it there, but they usually have a great selection of dramas. Good luck.

  Hulu is only for america if I'm right. also dramacrazy normally works for me but not this time. Thanks anyway, I appreciate the feeling. :) I luckily found something else. For anyone else having problems finding this: (apple, zoro, naza, vollyball) 000 tv
  use the first letter of each of the words in parckets? - only the first letter- then remove the 000 and put a dot then add the word tv. (this is the description I was given, I don't know the reason why it's like this but I'm using the same just in case.) It looks creepy at first. But you have to sign up and then you can watch everything half streaming with VLC or Winrar. It's a bit weird but it works great! and it has a really broad range of series! :) Hope I was of help to anyone.

better than expected, it was fun watching it but also i didn`t like all that political talk, it was kinda long but i don`t regret watching it, in fact i regret not watching it earlier :P Shin Chaegyung and Lee Shin matched each other making it more enjoyable ^__^
