After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates.

Synopsis

Goong (궁) is based on the same titled manhwa by Park So Hee.

Goong is a story about young love in face of tradition, politics, and intrigue. In the imaginary world, modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy and the Royal Family lives in a grand Palace, the Goong. Story opens with the sudden death of the reigning the King. Faced with the decreasing popularity among the public for the Royalty, a grand wedding for the Crown Prince, Lee Shin (Joo Ji Hoon), is decided to be the best publicity move to improve the image of the Royalty and at the same time prepare Shin for immediate succession. The intended bride? The headstrong, awkward, and sweet spirited Shin Chae-kyung (Yoon Eun Hye) that just happens to go to the same exclusive art school. Chae-kyung was betrothed to become the next Crown Princess by her grandfather and Shin's grandfather.

After 14 years of living in England with his mom, Lee Yul (Kim Jeong Hoon) appears all of a sudden. He is Shin's cousin as well as the former Crown Prince. Everything seemed to be going normally until Chae-kyung's optimistic spirit wins the heart of internally lonely, Yul. As the Crown Prince Shin and simple-minded Chae-kyung's relationship appear to developing deeper feelings, a series of scandals are exposed to the public right after the pair were officially announced married. Will love prevail all in a world of political pressures and martial hardships? Or will being in the spotlight of the public be too much for the young newlyweds to endure?

[Goong S is a drama produced by a separate production company, Group Eight (http://www.group8tv.com), and is not an official sequel of Goong (궁). Both cast and storyline for Goong S are totally different from Goong (궁).]

A/N: I really into the ancient Asian culture, and this is one of my most favourite k-drama I like the most. To be honest I just started to watch this drama because DBSK was singing to the theme song. But after watched a MV from the drama at youtube, then I started to search after the drama. The storyline is unique and interesting and the scenes is brilliant done which make it more realistic. I have totally watch this 3 times and never thought it was boring after knowing the storyline. It always succeed bring out new feelings and thoughts everytime I watched it. I usually get tired of a drama if I have watch it twice, but this never got me there. In the begin it might not be catchy but if you watch the whole episode one, you will get more curious about the storyline.
