Princess Hours on Dec. 18, 2006

Princess Hours (otherwise known as The Palace or Goong) is a Korean Drama, which had its first season start on 11 January 2006. It was distributed by MBC (Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation). It is based on Goong (manhwa) by SoHee Park, which has run for 12 volumes so far (as of June 2006). Portrayed by Yoon Eun Hye, Shin Chae-Gyung is a very effervescent, normal high school girl. She attends the same school as Lee Shin, the Crown prince of Korea. Chae Gyung's grandfather was best friends with the previous Emperor. To honor his friend, the previous Emperor dictated that Chae Gyung is to become the Crown princess.





Although she often seems immature and irritating, she is a kindhearted,
innocent, honest person. Often called "Pig" by her younger brother,
Chae-Gyung marries Shin to save her family from bankruptcy. Her initial
reaction to Shin is one of irritation and fear but she eventually falls
in love with him.





The crown prince of Korea, Lee Shin, as portrayed by model and actor Joo Ji Hoon,
is seen as a smug, indifferent, insensitive young man. After getting rejected by his
girlfriend,he gets forced into marrying Shin Chae Gyung. At first, he was irritated
by hernaivete and enthusiasm, but as he recognizes how genuinely sweet she is,
he begins to openhis heart to her, and falls in love. Throughout the series, it becomes
obvious that inside,he's just a sensitive, warm, kind young man.





He also owns a teddy bear, which is used as a focal point throughout the series.
Kim Jeong Hoon plays Lee Yul, Shin's younger cousin. Yul returns from a long stay
in England with his mother, a former actress, and the widow of the former crown prince.
The opposite of Shin, he is warm, kindhearted, sweet, and romantic--an instant hit with the girls.
