[Kdrama Classics] Goong

I'm about halfway through it and I don't really like it.

I pretty much found it sucky. It started off pretty well, but I just can't STAND Eun Hye. I watched her in Coffee Prince as well, and I had to force myself to finish both the dramas. I just don't like her. The Prince was a plain during the whole drama, and Lee Yul.. I don't even know where to start. The actor was cute I guess, but the character was HORRIBLE. Annoying, blind and just bleeeh. And what's the deal with the ending? *DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT* His sister just becomes the queen? Easy as that? W-t-f? Not to mention Yul and his mother. After fighting so hard, they just took off? No one tried punishing them for what they did? AND WHAT ABOUT THE ROMANCE BETWEEN SHIN AND CHAEGYUNG'S FRIENDS!? D:< It was clearly implied, and I was waiting for that. T.T Awkward love is great, and it could have saved the drama for me. >_>

I think you really have to like the characters and get past the actors to enjoy it. If you don't enjoy the actress you are not going to like the character and anything else past that is just noise. I am not a Eun Hye fan either but she does some good acting. I thought she was good in Coffee Prince but I DETESTED her in Take Care Of The Young Lady. I like that she has a wide range of acting. She is more than just ONE character (i.e. innocent, daft girl EVERY role).

I actually liked GOONG but I can relate to what you are saying. It's been awhile since I watched it but I remember it clearly. I am sure if I watched it again it would annoy me. I like to say GOONG is a "starter"; it's one of the first shows you watch when you first find KDrama. It's a nice introduction and has a good solid base into everything a KDrama is really all about. Now if you want to hate on ANYTHING Goong you need to try watching the follow-up series, Goong S. THAT, my friend, is one of THE WORST shows I have ever endured. I always thought it would get better but it never did.

Agree Agree !

My first drama ever. (and it seems that I'm not alone) I read the manhwa first and I still prefer the manhwa, ever though I like the drama too.
I don't know if this called a spioler:but i really like when they got locked in for their "wedding night" I'm never getting tired of watching that scene xD

exactly... :)

They are my faves too :D and the one I talked about ;)
