Ok well now let me get down to bizness. I loved this story more than I did the 1st 1. This made more sense of how the characters came together. I really enjoyed watching the characters develop & the relationships. There was some good rock music that was played at different times throughout this drama. I might watch this again but it is not on my high priority list of rewatchable dramas. Even though this drama is slow to move through the story at times, it will keep u interested & wanting to know what is going to happen next. I think this is a drama that others will either just love or just hate, but u have to watch it to find out which group u will be in.
I personally think this would have been a much better drama if it was like a continuation of the 1st season. I think I would have understood the story a little more if the parents of the Dukes had been the cousins from the previous season, but it was still good the way it was.

STORY/PLOT:
I've already watched Princess Hours years ago and I was so impressed by the said series. I've beend ebating if I will give this series a shotor not so I've been checking reviws from different sites and reading comments regarding this series as well. Until somebody told me that it was worth watching for. So I decided to download the first 10 Episodes and after watching the first Episode I decided to download all 20 episodes. Why? Because I liked it. As simple as that. Honestly this series is not that extravagant as compared to Princess Hours but why compare them both? Prince Hours had its own story and has its own taste which I liked. The Revenge part, the victories by the lead, the downfall of the antagonist. I love them all. But I think more attention should have been given on the later part. The early epsiodes where done intricately but on the last 3-4 episodes the story rocketed to its end. I know that korean series usually has 20 episodes and the directors just tried to put in everything in those 20 episodes but I just want more... Hahahaha. And by the way I have this great passion in terms of Dramas which settings were of the old times, back when the kings and queens existed that is what made me love the series more. :-)
ACTING/CASTS:
It was the first for me to encounter Se7ev in this series the male lead. I am not aware of how he acts but I am aware of how he performs in the stage. So sad, I think he was on hiatus now but he did great on this series. He was able to portray a super bubbly but at the same time humble person. Given the face that he has he was able to pull through the acting that was needed on his role. Same as with the femle lead. This was the first time I saw her and I am really not familiar with her. Well se did well in this series to. But I just don't like her facial expressions because everytime she speaks it looks like she overdoing it. Evrything she is trowing those lines it looks like she'sgoing to cry though the scene is not a scene where she is soppused to cry. To get what I wanted to say better watch the series. Park Shin Hye! I think among all of the casts she was the most popular up until now. The first I saw her I thought she was the female lead but she wasn't cause she was the second female lead. :-) There's no question on how well her acting skills though, I bet you all know her. She's an actress since 2003 and the film was filmed last 2006 so she already has an experience in acting. The Second male lead did great also. I just don't like him. Well, you can't push a person to like somebody right? I just don't like him. Sorry for that.
MUSIC:
For the music, the music they've used is somehow similar with the music that was used in Princess Hours most especially the on the welcoming part. That's what I've missed on that series. As what i have mentioned earlier ago, I love stories which settings was the old times. And that includes the music of that time. As simple as that.
REWATCH VALUE:
Guys, this series has 20 episodes and per hour was an hour long. And that's a total of 20 hours so it watshing it again was really not a good joke, maybe if I have the will to do so I will watch it again.
OVERALL:
This was an amazing series. And if asked if I will recommendit, yes of course I will. If you liked the Princess Hours series I guessed you would learn to love it too. :-)

Goong F
How could they ever think this remake was a good idea? It didn't take more than half an episode to know everything you need going forward. Setting the expectations really low from the beginning. They immediately jumped into the premise with little to no build up. Yer a prince, Harry! Deal with it. The setup was bad, the writing was shameful and the characters were garbage. The main cast members were barely functional and their chemistry was a constant struggle that never washed away. The original Goong had a plethora of problems but, in contrast, this remake made me appreciate season 1 for whatever it had .Was this review helpful to you?
