Goong

A.K.A. Princess Hours/Palace. After watching "My Girl", I decided to give "Goong" a chance since everybody loves it and I was in the mood to watch more romantic comedies. I'm happy to say that "Goong" is another Korean drama I like since it's cute (the bears are so cute!) and touching. However, the first four episodes were really slow and boring but it gets better after Yoon Eun Hye and Joo Ji Hoon are married. I wished it wasn't extended to 24 episodes though since it kind got of dragging near the end. The ending wasn't rushed but it kind of ended with a cliffhanger but I can live with it since it reminded me of the ending to TVB's "Road for the Heroes" starring Roger Kwok, Alvina Kong, and Michael Tao. I would like to see a sequel but it's probably better that way since it's a happy ending and the plot would have dragged with more relationship problems for Yoon Eun Hye and Joo Ji Hoon in the sequel, which were sad enough in the first one.

Yoon Eun Hye: She's not really pretty especially in the first few episodes but her looks grow on you (her mouth is not that attractive). I love some of the outfits she wore in this drama. Overall, I like her role but she can get annoying when she misunderstood Joo Ji Hoon near the end. Yoon Eun Hye was really good in her first starring role and she's a pretty good crier. 5*****

Joo Ji Hoon: Same with Yoon Eun Hye, I don't consider him drop-dead gorgeous but he looks really cute when he smiles. His character is extremely cold but it's understandable and pitiful. I also thought he did a good job. 5*****

Kim Jeong Hoon: He's so cute, such eye candy! Thank goodness, he didn't have dyed hair after a couple of episodes since he looks so much better when he's a brunette (his natural color)! I felt really bad for his character; he's so pitiful so I couldn't hate him when he tried to break up Yoon Eun Hye and Joo Ji Hoon. He was kind of stiff in some scenes but he did a good job too. 4****

Song Ji Hyo: I think she looks a lot prettier in pictures. I was kind of annoyed with her character but she's also pitiful so I couldn't hate her. 3***

Yoon Eun Hye+Joo Ji Hoon: I can see why everybody loves them as a couple since they had a lot of chemistry together. Their intimate scenes were really cute! 5*****

Yoon Eun Hye+Kim Jeong Hoon: I really like the friendship they had together. It was heartbreaking to watch how much Kim Jeong Hoon loves Yoon Eun Hye. 4****

Joo Ji Hoon+Song Ji Hyo: They kind of look good together but there wasn't really any chemistry. 3***

OST: I only like one or two songs, especially "Perhaps Love" by HowL & J. 3***

Rating: 3.5*** Not the greatest drama that everybody claims it to be (kind of overrated) but still good so I would watch it again.
