Goong

I loved Goong. It is really cute. Yoon Eun Hye is an amazing actress, and I love her. Goong is a lighthearted, funny drama. It's a modern Cinderella story, but with a harder route to happiness. It's portrayed really well by the actors, and I could almost feel their emotions. I wanted to just kill Min Hyo Rin, because she was annoying me that badly.  It just shows how good the actors were! Honestly, if I were to judge this, I would give it a 9.5, the only part I didn't like was how they kept one repeating the same situations over and over, and the love...square? was bothering sooooo much. Overall, I highly suggest this, and it's just, really cute.

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?

Favourite Moments

Coffee Prince

Coffee Prince was pretty good I guess. I'm not a huge fan of genderbender stuff (due to past experiences :P) so I suggest you don't take in account of what I'm saying right now. I loved how you could just watch Coffee Prince whenever you liked, it's a really fun and happy drama, unlike those dramas with lots of jealous, deceitful and crazy women, and the guys were really cute too. I just didn't really like how the main girl dressed and her hair. Ok, for me, hair is a big problem. It decided the mood and personality of the character for me. I didn't really like it (no offense to the people who do) so I got bored during the middle. I guess the romance was cute and all, but it's just my opinion. Don't take it too much to heart. 

Synopsis:

The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his "homosexuality"?
