Perhaps you are one of those who become K-pop fans due to this drama. The story line successfully makes us feel up and down like riding a roller coaster. We can laugh th suddly cry at the same time. Surely, we do miss the cool and emotionless Prince Lee Shin (Ju Jihoon). However, he melts our heart wh he awkwardly shows his warmth.

K Drama Rewind: Princess Hours


While waiting for this remake project, let’s recall this drama story line. Princess Hours or Goong is comic-based adaptation drama. Actually, the story line is simple but it has many aspects that can captivate us. Prince Lee Shin and Shin Chaekyeong have to deal with arranged marriage contract betwe their grandfathers. Both have opposite characters. Lee Shin is cold-hearted but later turns into warm and caring person. Meanwhile, Chaekyeong comes from the common family background. She is cheerful, fun, careless, and naïve girl. Surely, it is very hard for Chaekyeong to ter the palace after their marriage. The conflicts become more intse due to complicated love lines. Lee Shin’s cousin, Prince Lee Yul (Kim Jeonghoon), starts to see Chaekyeong as a woman instead of frid. Besides, Chaekyeong has intse conflict with Hyorin, Lee Shin’s ex-girlfrid who still involves in their relationship.

Actually, the story line is relatively common for Korean dramas. This is typically a Cinderella Story that we commonly find in many series. However, there is one good thing we should highlight from this drama. Princess Hours is a popular way to introduce Korean cultures and heritages. Since it is about royal family life, surely it shows us many cultural aspects. We can see Korean marriage traditions as represted in this drama. This drama symbolically features Korean cultures like traditional costume (hanbok), traditions, arts, literatures, and cultural stuff inside the palace. Moreover, it also beautifully explores many corners of the palace. In other words, Princess Hours introduces Korean cultures in modern way. It’s a good method to introduce the cultural things for young gerations.

Right after the announcemt of Princess Hours remake project, fans are speculating about the pottial casts. It shows their excitemt about this project since this is very special mega hit rom-com drama. One of K-pop media platforms held a global voting for their favorite casts. Surprisingly, Hwang Inyeop receives major votes as Lee Shin. Meanwhile, Kim Hyeyoon is expected to cast as Chaekyeong. Although the production house hasn’t revealed the casts yet, but we think Hwang Inyeop and Kim Hyeyoon deserve it. Hwang Inyeop simply fits Lee Shin as he has strong character with his sharp eyes and strong expression. Kim Hyeyoon can portray a young, fun, and cheerful character of Chaekyeong. Most importantly, both are currtly rising their popularity in K-drama industry.Princess Hours (Korean: 궁 ; Hanja: 宫 ; RR: Goong; lit.
