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?

    I have finished this Kdrama on it's first airing. It was quite a sensation back then. Goong has 24 episodes all in all. The setting was beautiful, you can see the Korean culture in a splendid way. The cast were also great, sound track just perfect for every scene and the palace was definitely nice. This drama was taken off from a Manhwa which is considered as the Korean comics. They have used the plot almost similar to the original story line, I say almost because as the usual way of every drama/movie makers which takes stories from books, they mangle a lot of things and change it unnecessarily. I hate it when they do a lot of changes from the original story. It ruins the read more

    Although I do think this drama could have been a bit shorter, I really enjoyed it. This was only the second drama I watched. I enjoyed following along with Chae Kyung's adventure and adjustment to palace life and falling for her prince. There were some really cute moments, especially the glimpses of Prince Lee Shin's insecurity and wish for love behind his tough facade. But there were frustrating moments too when the story seemed to drag. I know this is superficial but I loved Yoon Eun Hye's wardrobe! Cute ending too.

  • Both dramas have same screenwriter and the plot is kinda similar. Plus the actor who plays Oh Ha Ni's father (in playful kiss) and Shin Chae Kyung's father (in goong) is same : DD

    This is the first kdrama that I've watched and it doesn't failed my expectations. I can't count how many times did I repeated this. Although I can say I skip some part of this because some part may be boring. But the couple is really cute and I like them so much. Especially Yoon Eun Hye (she was just young when this was filmed) and this is my favorite drama of Hye cause no matter how I like her matured present roles I miss her being "Shin Chaegyung" where she looks so natural and innocent here. The funny moments made me laugh like crazy. Thumbs up for the directors of this drama!

    This is my favorite drama during high school! I was so in love with it back then that it gave me some cute fantasies of being married to a prince and such. The OSTs are masterpiece, they lingered on my mind for quite some time and I can still sing to it right now.

    It holds a lot of memories :)

    The characters are unchanging and stubborn; rendering much of the show slow, frustrating, and quite difficult to sit through. At the end of it, despite the aforesaid, I'd say it was worth the watch. I would recommend this only if you're feeling patient and have nothing better to do.

      Oh, and it had a great soundtrack--despite this, they only utilized it when the show was at its highest points, rendering the slow parts even SLOWER. Instead, they played an anxious little piano melody in the background of every boring scene.
