I was browsing through Drama Wiki for something to watch when I saw this. I loved Yoon Eun Hye in Coffee Prince, so I decided to give this a shot.
Yes it was cute. Yes it was funny. But really, if your not into something that basically has no plot besides romance and couple conflicts, you're not going to like this. This is something I would watch if I really had nothing better to do. It's nice when your watching it, but it gets really boring. It drags sooo much and love (or the lack of it) is basically the only theme. It got so boring I didn't even finish it. I'll probably go back to it after a while, but I have absolutely no desire to continue watching it for now.
However, it does show how diverse Eun Hye's characters are. Here, she plays a naive girl who is silly but cute. Her character (Chae-Kyeong) basically has no sense of the real world and has horrible friends. The main guy is trying waaaay too hard to be cold. He's like totally unemotional. His treatment toward Chae-Kyeong, no matter how retarded she was being anyway, is slap-worthy. He doesn't have to go THAT far. Song Ji Hyo playing Hyo-rin, the bitchy third wheel also shows a range of talents. She goes from gentle and kind Ye So Ya (I didn't like her there either though. She kept messing up Jumong and So Seo No's love.) from Jumong to envious and scheming Hyo -rin. She is pretty though. Kim Jung Hoon is playing the male third wheel, as always. In this case, he's playing Yul. He's looking good though (in case you didn't know, he's the one with reddish brown hair).

The series starts off with the news that the King, Shin’s father, is very ill. With the grim outlook on the King’s health, the royal family scrambles to find a wife for Shin, so as to allow him to take over the royal throne if the situation requires. Despite being in love with another girl, the ambitious and talented ballerina Hyo-rin whom Shin initially proposed to (she rejects him to pursue her ballet dreams), Shin eventually marries a commoner to whom he was betrothed by his late grandfather in an old agreement with the girl’s grandfather. Shin marries the headstrong yet lovable Chae-kyeong after Hyo-rin’s rejection. Despite initially feeling nothing for Chae-kyeong, love eventually blossoms between the couple as time passes.
In the meantime, however, matters are further complicated with the return of Lee Yul and his mother Lady Hwa-Young, who was once the Crown Princess (Bingoong) before the death of her husband, the late Crown Prince, older brother of the current King. Yul and his mother were chased out of the palace some time after the death of his father, and it is later revealed that this was due to the King’s discovery of an affair between Yul’s mother and the current King who was his father’s younger brother. Yul’s mother had returned with a sinister motive in mind; to restore her son back to the throne, which would have been his eventually, if his father had not died. A series of events befall the palace with the schemes Yul’s mother carries out, and is further intensified by the various scandals involving the royal family, which are inclusive of the Shin’s continuing relationship with his old flame Hyo-rin, and the budding love Yul develops for Chae-kyeong, his cousin’s new-found bride. Things gets out of hand and many incidents happened. (wiki)

Did you guys know Goong was based off of a comic/manga. I think I'm a little late on that. Anyways, apparently the books were coming out too slowly so they made Goong. You like the pic?
