Drama Update: Goong/Princess Hours

Hello everyone! This post is long overdue, but I thought I'd write it anyway :P

Goong was a very cutesy and childish drama (in a good way) but there were definitely some moments where things got a little more serious. The relationship between the main couple reminded me a bit of Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin from It Started With A Kiss, for those of you who watch Taiwanese television XD

There came a time in this show towards the end where the crying got a little much, but I'm one of those people who have to finish any drama I start, with a few rare exceptions :P Goong is also 24 episodes long, so I'm not surprised that there were a few episodes that seemed more dull. 

I watched this drama on Viki with timed comments, so I am aware that a lot of fans wanted Chae-Kyung to end up with Yul. I can understand where they are coming from, but I found his character too nice and it was as if he hardly had a spine of his own. The fact that he loved Chae-Kyung so much just made me sad, and in the end I really couldn't hate him for it.

Goong is a 2005 drama and I'm sure a few of you know what that means: Horrible Fashion. What were they thinking back then?! I'm pretty sure I cringed when I saw Chae-Kyung's dress for the interview in episode 21. 

I managed to ignore it most of the time though, because if you let your taste in fashion control what you watch then most likely you'll be missing a lot of good movies and shows ^_~

Overall I liked this show, although it's not one of the best that I've seen. It was cute and fun and I always looked forward to interactions between Chae-Kyung and Shin <3 For Yoon Eun-Hye's (click here for her Feature Friday) first acting role she did amazingly well, despite all the munwha fans who didn't think she would would be able to portray Chae-Kyung well. Joo Ji-Hoon is a great actor as well and he made me feel the emotions of his character as if they were my own.

If you have seen this show and want to share you opinion, please do! You can also check out my Google+ profile here for random updates. I'm new at reviewing dramas, but I suppose one has to start somewhere, and somewhere is usually the bottom ^_~
