KDrama: Goong (궁, Princess Hours)

It’s fictional? There’s no real Korean royalty? Does it matter? As long as there are handsome princes and an adorable female lead, this drama remains in my heart as one of the best.
Goong was one of my Korean dramas and one of my all time favorites. Yoon Eun Hye’s silly school girl here rivals her funny character in Coffee Prince. You can decide which role suits her more. Joo Ji Hoon is as icedly handsome as ever and I first fell in love with actor Kim Jeong Hoon here. Catch him in Witch Yoo Hee also.
