Princess Hours - Goong Honest Review

Everyone talked about this drama and I know it was apart of the Korean Wave, and a huge hit in Korea so I greatly anticipated in watching it. This is a slow burn love story, mainly b/c of the fact that the ML and FL were in away forced into marriage overtime Shin fell in love with Chae Gyeong I want to say around the episode when the Royals wanted a baby, both being in immature and stuck in their ways, Shin was always unable to properly execute his feelings toward Chae Gyeong so it came out in the weirdest ways. I think overall Shin and Chae Gyeong had a solid story, they truly grew to love each other through time. Shin started liking Chae Gyeong but hid it, plus the only thing that truly bothered me about this series was the fact that Shin and Chae Gyeong didn't talk things out after Yul's birthday party she assumed he still liked Hyorin and Shin never made Chae Gyeong secure in the relationship. Especially with the Hyorin drama she was truly a B****, I couldn't stand her character, in the end she turned it around but I didn't like that she kept budding in! All in all, they tied the story up very smoothly, I liked the twist that Shin's sister became Queen, his parents basically retired, and now Chae Gyeong could become a designer and Shin could also find what he loves to do which was hinted in film. Another thing I did not like in this drama Yul's mother was so sickening and selfish and let her son take the fall for her actions. I am glad they returned to the UK, that was their best bet. Yul at first I really cared for his character then towards the end I didn't. He kept influencing and manipulating Chae Gyeong's decisions. You'd think he would have advised her to talk to Shin about Hyorin during the party but instead kept telling her he still liked Hyorin when that was no longer the case, and he still believed after all that, she would just up and leave and runaway with him. Chae Gyeong made it clear he was always ever a friend and it wouldn't go any further than that. Another thing that annoyed me towards the end of the drama was Chae Gyeong getting pregnant! That came out of nowhere I am being honest it's just my theory, I think they consummated their relationship in the palace, perhaps somewhere before Chae Gyeong left. I know it had to have been before perhaps they had something before they both left. Since they would be apart so long, but this is just my theory. I was happy to think that their fantasy of them raising children and being happy living a normal life was now a reality. The main song in this dram Perhaps Love was beautiful and really fit the personality of the show. I am not sure about rewatching it perhaps I would and skip to my favorite episodes. But it was a long emotional journey but the ending tied the story up so nicely I have no complaints.
