One of the korean dramas that I am (or was) crazy about was Goong 궁 (a.k.a Princess Hours in some areas known as The Palace). It was shown in the Philippines about 2 years ago. Of course this drama (like all other Asian dramas shown on TV) was dubbed in Filipino. I clearly remembered wanting to go home early from work to catch up on the next episode (it was shown on daily, 30 minutes on primetime with commercial breaks in the local television network). And everytime I missed an episode, I would log on to crunchyroll to watch the episodes that I missed (at that time it was still available on the site).
The story of the drama is based on the mahwa by Park So Hee.
Synopsis:
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? (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Goong)
The drama starred Yoon Eun Hye (Coffee Prince, Vineyard Man) as the princess, Shin Chae-kyung and Joo Ji Hoon (The Devil, Antique Bakery) the crown prince Lee Shin. This was the first drama for both of them. This drama also starred Kim Jeong Hoon (Witch Yoo Hee, and formerly from the group UN) who played the crown prince’s cousin and rival Lee Yul and Song Ji Hyoo (Sex is Zero 2) who played the ballerina and Shin’s ex-girlfriend Min Hyo-rin.
The reason why I liked this drama is because of its light hearted story. The story is fictional as kings and queens are no longer ruling Korea. It had the right amount of drama and the right amount of “kilig” moments. Also I loved the soundtrack of this drama as their songs really fit the story (though I had to google the meaning of the song :D). The song Perhaps Love, is probably my favorite Korean song — i love the melody and its lyrics. I also liked the way they ended the episodes, teddy bears depicting the scenes of the episodes. Seeing those teddy bears makes me want to go to the teddy bear museum which (surprise surprise) is in Korea. Until now, I am still watching the my goong videos and I never get bored of them
It is a little difficult to find streaming videos of Goong online as this drama is a licensed one. So you could either buy the original DVD (which is sold online) or you may go to this site.
Since I have uploaded the song Perhaps Love, I will be uploading all the others later..
This drama is a must see, especially if you’re a beginner with the Asian addiction.

i love goong. i’m just thankful that i only saw it now, cuz i can’t watch any other kdramas anymore. if i saw it back then, i wouldn’t have been able to see the other good ones that i’ve seen so far. i keep comparing it to those other in same genre, and goong is #1 for me. now, i’m even dreaming about YEH and JJH together, and i have to get a daily dose of my goong. i just finished watching the special for the nth time. i’ addicted to goong. no lie!

nah, i don’t know about your so-called evolution. BBF took some stuff from Goong (goong was made b4 BBF). so did CP and LTM, as well as the most recent RP and LR. dont even mention K2H, i can’t even get past the first ep of that one. the formula is a cold rich guy falls in love with a regular gal who is full of personality. i was watching queen inhyun’s man, but now i can’t get back into it after seeing goong. i also tried to watch the vineyard man with YEH in it. also quit after ep 2. i am contented with my daily dose of goong esp. ep 23. if YEH and JJH do a drama together again, i’d watch that one, but for now, only kim myung min or ji sung will make me watch again. oh, and lee jung jin and maybe kim soo hyun. so, back to reading books – david baldacci came out with 3 books while i was busy catching up on kdrama…………

i don’t mean evolution with the story, in kpop dramaland it will always be a rich guy falls in love with a regular girl. that’s their theme for as long as i can remember. but what’s good about dramas now is that they changing their plots and looking for other stories to tell. their editing and their humor has changed too and writers have become funnier and are getting better. though goong is my favorite, i didn’t like that they dragged it to 24 episodes. if you want to check out kdramas i suggest not watching ones like BFF because the story is very common and we know how it will end! i still don’t understand why people were so fascinated by it. 🙂 btw, are u from the philippines?

oh, with cl, it wasn’t even the accent. the example that she gave was “sandara?” i mean what’s so weird about that? the person who said it was obviously trying to make sure it was her out of amazement. i guess they just can’t believe their luck. cl should just shut her mouth so she doesn’t reveal hoe ignorant she is. will someone tell her that the Philippines is the 3rd largest english speaking country in the whole world, next only to the USA and UK? anywho, i thought i mentioned that i was watching QIM and didn’t even bother going back to finish it after i saw Goong. it was like my senses opened up with Goong (or did it close? lol) and every other drama just seemed so dull in comparison my sister liked kim san soon a while back, but i have resisted watching it, i don’t know why. i thought i saw a couple of eps while i was on vacation in the Phil. a while back, and although i thought it was interesting, i didn’t like the female lead. she was a pastry chef, right? PTB! yaaa! i loved it! JS was so hilarious in it. i cracked up so much while watching it. i’ve only seen him in serious dramas before, so PTB was a nice change. i remember questioning mysoju’s ratings bec. of it. i looove JS and love PTB, but it didn’t affect me the way Goong did. i didn’t even re-watch it, even though it gets 5 stars fr me. i’ve also seen BL. i watched it through to the end (this was pre-Goong), but i prefer the other guy for her, not the jerk she ended up with (sorry lee seugeun, i love u in 2 days 1 night, though). i’ll see if i can watch Soldier, diff genre.

QIM was a bit boring at first, but compared to Goong — well there is no drama i liked as much as I did Goong.. I saw it when I was in college back in the Philippines. PTB was the best Ji Sung drama I’ve seen! I did not watch it for the story but for Ji Sung. I’ve never seen him in a role like that! I went crazy everytime I watched him doing his scenes! Actually for PTB, story wise, it was just an ordinary one, you would have guessed what would happen next. I think the best thing about it was Ji Sung and Choi Kanghee. For BL, it was Lee Seunggi not Suguen.. kk Suguen is the short man in 2days 1 night. For that drama I liked how effective the villain (the stepmother) was! It’s one of the best..

I saw this video too and I keep hearing the reporters mentioning YEH’s name. It does seem like he is saying, “I’ll always have you in my heart.” I think I heard someone else say that JJH said this as a translation. It might have been on that Soompi thread for Goong. Have you been on that thread? It took me days and days to read the whole thread. There are over 2,000 pages. When Goong first came out, people went on this thread to download the episodes and give their feedback and translations of the episodes. It was very funny to read. There were a few people who were not very nice, but for the most part, everyone was either a CK/Shin shipper or a CK/Yul shipper. They put up lots of CAPs from the episodes and some people talked about the korean netizens and newspapers they found on the internet and asked others to translate what was happening with Goong. It was funny reading peoples comments on how they couldn’t wait for the next episode or they wanted a translation of a scene because none of the episodes were subtitled as yet.
Anyways, going back to JJH/YEH, I think this is where I heard someone comment that JJH said, “YEH will always be in my heart.” AHHHhhhhh!
I was wondering, esigh and chipskjaa…what is the time difference between where I live and where you live. It seems that we are always missing each other’s comments by a couple of hours. If you have a facebook account, maybe we can talk with each other more one on one through there, but I would need to know when you would be online.
If you can’t do it…I understand. It just would be more fun to be able to talk without having to wait till the next day.

JJH was also supposed to be in japan for his own fan meet, but because of his problem, he was not able to go. there was talk of refunding the ticket price, but YEH did the meet for him. so now, i’m very hopeful that they will continue their love affair w/ JJH being out fr the service. i think when i hear the big announcement, i can really move forward.

i think that the JJH & YEH relationship is an open secret in the entertainment industry in korea. an example is in the 2007 MBC awards show, gong yoo’s reaction after JJH made a comment about the treatment YEH got from her CP boss, while YEH gives JJH a serious look. GY is like saying “uh oh, trouble in paradise?” and laughing at the same time. if they were dating at that time, as JJH’s actions and photos of them show, and YEH was still crying about JJH in 2009 after his drug charge, that makes it 3 yrs that they’ve dated before JJH going into the military. YEH went out of circulation after her 2009 MFL, only came back for LTM in 2011. so, i figure, after his military discharge and singing songs like u2’s with or without you and a korean song – you and me again (the lyrics go, would you decide to come back to me baby, are you wondering ’cause you don’t know whether i love you or not? but everything is not the same as before. as seasons pass from winter to spring, just come back to me. i think the time we’re apart seems just a long night, with my heart that is for you, i keep going around you, why are you waiting for? don’t look back. the days we’ll see each other is more than the days we were apart. would you decide to come back to me baby? just the way you are, just come back to me), which he may have composed (i’m doing research), who is he getting back together with? my answer is YEH, of course and seeing them at that movie premiere just clinched it for me. but he doesn’t say saranghae, just points to that heart again. so, i think one day, maybe if JJH’s “I am King” project is successful, they’ll make an announcement. that’s what i think. what do you think about what i think (lol)? oh btw, when asked to pick bet. kang ji hwan and ju ji hoon, YEH said she’ll pick JJH for his caring mind. just…

Anyeo esigh,
I agree with you about YEH & JJH possibly being in a secret relationship, but cannot or will not disclose of it as yet. I think I know which “Happy Together” episode your talking about. Was it the one for her promoting My Fair Lady with her costars? Anyways, she tried to squash the rumors about her and KJK. I believe they did like each other during the X-man days, but again the entertainment industry frowns upon their actors being in relationships. Their relationship never got off the ground so to speak. She admitted that he was nice to her and she supported him in his endeavors, but I don’t think it continued. I think after she did Goong, JJH stole her heart. Who can’t resist his good looks and charms? I may be fantasizing myself, but the story Goong sometimes correlates to their own personal relationship. When she told Yul that even in 25 million years they might meet again, not to bother saying hello to her because she will probably only love Shin. Also, when she told Shin that she already gave her heart away and that she can’t give it away as easily as him…I was just like…babo Shin, she’s talking about YOU!
Wouldn’t it be just so romantic if they did end up being together? Ahhh…love can be so michoso!

As far as YEH and KJK, I think they were amicable to each other as friends. She did try to support him by being in one of his music videos and went to his concert, but yeah, she did not “really” like him as a boyfriend or anything. I think KJK liked YEH more than she liked him. I’m glad everything is behind those 2 anyways. To me, they didn’t look that great together. I’m sure he’s nice and all, but I really want her to be with JJH. He’s much better looking and suits her personality.
I have an idea for Goong 2 also. I want Chae-Khung to have her baby and to show all the funny scenarios that can happen from having a baby in the Palace. Can you imagine all the cute scenes with Great-Ahmoni Queen doting on that baby? They should show Shin changing diapers and giving the baby a bath.
Chae-Khung will help her mom sell insurance. Heehee.
Don’t bring back Hyo-Rin or Yul! Every Korean drama has to have a villain, so who should it be? Maybe Kang-In? Kang-In and Hyo-Rin end up getting married and they have a son too. They brag about their son and try to get little Shin-goon into trouble at school. I’m just kidding.
I do want to see a Goong 2, but I don’t think it will happen. Like I said, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt never made another movie together after Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It would be a bit weird to do a drama with your significant other. Maybe, that’s why Goong 2 was never made! YEH and JJH said they cannot do the drama. Too difficult to bring those feelings to the screen.

Filipino & tagalog or even Pilipino, and that the official language is Filipino, not pilipino. i was in college at 14 yrs. old. super junior current members? i guess i’m older. about that song, you and me again, i think jjh wrote it cuz it’s not even 3 mins. long. i don’t think anyone would release a song shorter than 3 mins., except for instrumental album fillers. and yeh sang lonely at a fan meet. why would you sing that when you’re with your fans? it’s supposed to be a celebration. i think she sang it cuz it’s already feb. and jjh hasn’t made any moves, yet. i think their schedules only cleared up some in april, when they started to make headway. so into may, i think they are back together. more craziness, do you know the u2 song with or without you? part of the lyrics go ” sleight of hands, twist of fate, on a bed of nails, she makes me wait, and i’ll wait without you, with or without you… thru the storm we come to shore, you give it all, but i want more, and i’m waiting for you, with or without you…i can’t live with or without you… and you give yourself away..and you give…,” i’m not sure if you were aware that yeh was and still is a very giving person. she did things for friends, producers, etc. even did a drama she really didn’t want (MFL or tcotyl), bec. of promises she made. that’s how she ended up doing the kjk music vid and the cameo on PT and that’s also how she got into debt after goong, but thankfully she got a lot of commercial jobs with and without jjh after goong. she said she has now recovered, thanks to all the commercials she’s been doing. also, in jjh’s fan meet he sang another rockin’ song in english. i don’t know if your familiar with it. it’s me, myself, and I. part of the lyrics go, “my fall, my fall, my fall will break your wall…i’m mad, i’m mad, i’m mad like a big dog…my god, my god, my god gave me a rod…, fishing, fishing, fishing…” do you see a significance? to me, his fall from grace broke yeh’s wall, that was why she was crying in Japan at that fan meet a week after jjh got charged. he was mad, alright, about what happened to him, but that was the lightning rod, the twist of fate, the “storm,” that hopefully will put him on the right track. so yeh, don’t look back just come back…. and i think she did. i noticed she has put on a little weight, only a smidgen. it’s like goong all over again. anyway no problem, jjh likes it that way. he said he doesn’t like thin….. so how do you like my craziness? someone on youtube told me i should be insitutionalized. i was tempted to write a blog just to lay out everything that i found, but it’s so tedious to have to go back and forth among various references. plus, i can see that YEH & JJH do not have enough courage yet to come out in the open, so i will respect that. maybe in time, i hope b4 YEH turns 30, they will be brave enough to face the consequences of them telling the whole world thay they love each other. and i will be in my little corner of the world cheering them on. JJH & YEH, FIGHTING!!!!! btw, i thought i told you already, that corner is in Virginia, USA.

I know all the songs you’ve mentioned. I liked them myself but I never really thought about them singing songs to each other. But it’s we are talking about the Korean entertainment industry, stars do crazy stuff in secret for the ones they adore.. and that my friend is a big possibility! i mean they give signals to their sweethearts on broadcasts and a lot of artists said so themselves.

wow! so, you like my craziness? yes, you’re right abt the signals, they did say that. and the bracelets, i think that was just a subtle hint for the fans who really believe in them. we are US citizens now. virginia is a huge state. we’re in the metro washington, dc area. so, you’re a bisdak. i almost went to up cebu, but my mom thought that was too far, so she got me to go into UPCM (college of Manila) instead, then after 1.5 years i transferred to diliman. i assume you’re asking me abt the blog. i was tempted, but i thought against it. what if it starts something and could adversely affect either one of them? if they’re not ready right now, i will respect that choice. even YEH is waiting now, that’s why she enrolled in graduate classes. there may be something happening towards the end of the year, after “i am king” finish showing. that’s why fans should support “i am king.” it will determine whether they, YEH & JJH, have to wait longer or not. i’m keeping my fingers crossed and praying at the same time. thanks for the offer, though. i’ll just laugh off the comments being made that i’m cuckoo. no big deal. what do you think abt JJH’s song choices? was he sending a message? he was singing english songs in front of an audience who don’t ususally understand english. so i think it wasn’t a message to give to the audience at that time, but a message for later consumption, but YEH went to singapore for the MAMA awards. so…. more craziness later…c ya

don’t worry abt it. i took a break myself. the Phil. King of Comedy, Dolphy, died and i sort of mourned for him. i shed some tears for him. in our household, my father didn’t allow us to watch Filipino shows, but he watched Dolphy’s shows on tv. so, he was like part of our growing up years. may i ask, what course are you teaching? i assume it’s a college course, right? but you say kids, you talk as if you’re much older, when you’re only in early twenties – super junior right, except for the youngest one (i think he’s 18?). i also taught in college. i was the youngest teach, some classmates even became students. some students even want to date me. they didn’t know how to address me, so i just gave them my first name. exams were bad time for me, too. so. i guess you finished grading their exams? congrats!!! when does school year end there in thailand?
you’re right about those vicious netizens, but what can they do to me? especially the kjk shippers (i just learned this word, not sure if i’m using it appropriately). but as the saying goes… sticks and stones may break by bones, but words can never hurt me, right? however, it’s not the same for other ppl. i know YEH is very sensitive abt what ppl say. i don’t think she’ll be sensitive abt what i will say, if i ever do a blog, but about what the reaction will be from other ppl. what if somehow it gets picked up by someone in korea and brings it up and starts asking questions. if she’s not ready to face it, which she’s not right now, i don’t want to be the person that puts her in that bind. i don’t want to convince ppl who don’t want to believe. i’ll wait. i think we’ll see them together in another drama, if she’s not under contract with kbs. sbs is strong possibility.

i hope the same for JJH. at least he’s keeping himself busy with work. i liked antique bakery also. i was able to watch it after goong cuz there’s no female lead in it, but i was surprised that it was a gay man instead. i laughed so hard though, cuz his character was so straight that even the gay man rejected him. about yeh, uh huh, i’ve seen xman, and yeah, she seems to have a mean streak in her. actually, it came out a little in goong. can’t remember the episode, but it was when shin was trying to apologize to her about the incident at yul’s birthday party. when she walked away from shin, she had a little smirk on her face. the expression was out of character. it was like she was saying “hah, that’s what you get!” like she one-upped him. i was surprised. i was thinking that if these two end up together, JJH will be a hen-pecked husband, lol. she had to be like that for her to win all those of course challenges.
sorry about your sister. my brother’s a special child, but when i ask him why he’s laughing at me, he tells me “you’re thinking about those two again,” then laughs again. maybe his thoughts are not too complicated, that’s why he gets simple things like this.

then before the press conference, he changed his black shirt to a white shirt…
usually for premieres, from what i know artists get snapped twice, one when they arrive and another during the press conference..
at times the actor/actress change their clothes but i think this is a rare situation. why he changed it i have no idea! haha..
my basis for this guess are these videos:

Hello esigh and chipskjaa! Anyeo! As you can see from my username, I am a diehard Goong fan/ YEh & JJH shipper. I somehow was given this website to find out more about JJH & YEH’s secret relationship. I posted a comment on yooneunhye.net and well, anyways, here I am. I really think that YEH & JJH are meant to be together too. Something tells me that they are really in love with each other, but because of their contracts, they cannot let people know that they are together. For whatever reasons, Korean fans/entertainment companies are not as forgiving of their actors/actresses being out in the open with their personal affairs. I too think that JJH sang that song”With or Without You” by U2 as a testment to YEH. When they filmed Goong together, just by looking at their behind the scenes videos, there was a real connection betweent he two. I just have this sixth sense that they are in a secret relationship. YEH was so cute at her fan meeting too. Well, I’ll come back tomorrow to see if you got my comment. Kai-ke.

Anyeo chipskjaa & esigh! I read your conversations more thoroughly today and I get the impression that your both teachers and filipina. I am a Kindergarten teacher in Southern California. It’s very hot out here now. That’s interesting that we all are in the teaching profession.
Esigh – I watch Goong on an almost daily basis too. I’m crazy too! I can’t get enough of their cuteness. I pratically have every cap pic that was on the Soompi thread and on the internet. I am thinking of putting the pics in the correct episodes and to add a quick synopsis of each episode. I think I’m crazy if i do this, so I’ve been putting it off. If you go on the Soompi thread for Goong, they had this funny list that mentions if you do certain things that your a Goong fanatic and I had so many on the list that I know I’m Goong crazy.
I first saw Goong almost 2 years ago. In 2006 when Goong came out, I would have been on that Soompi thread asking for downloads if I had to wait with the rest of the people. I’m so glad that I didn’t even know about kdramas until by accident I was bored and my sister said to go to mysoju to watch kdramas. I actually watched it on youtube, one section at a time and the quality sucked! Now I watch it all the time on Viki.com and laugh at the people’s comments. I bought the DVD’s, but my friends and family have been borrowing it. I don’t mind sharing…I want to spread my love for Goong.
Going back to YEH and JJH – I really think that they are secretly together and are waiting for the right time to bring out their relationship to the public. Even though, YEH joked that she didn’t have a boyfriend and asked her fans at the Valentine fan meeting to help her find someone, she’s really with JJH. I didn’t know she cried when she tried to sing Perhaps Love at a fan meeting. That is so sad and sweet at the same time.
I love YEH’s personality the most! Although she is beautiful and has “killer legs”, I love her sincerity and kindness to her fans and other people. I’ve watched every kdrama and movie of both YEH and JJH. They are both excellent actors. I just feel that for them to do another drama together would be awkward, especially if they are really seeing each other. Neither one wants people to think that they are faking their actions on the screen if they are really in love with each other. To me, it wouldn’t look right. It’s like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt never did a movie together after falling in love from meeting in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

It would definitely be so romantic if they did come out and say that they fell in love with each other since Goong days! Can you imagine what all the people will say? The netizens will go crazy! They might even say, “Why didn’t you just come out and say it?” And they will have to explain that the netizens are always criticizing others that they didn’t want their careers to be ruined or cause pain to their families. Hopefully, netizens will be more understanding of actors and realize that they are people with feelings and that they need to be more supportive. I don’t get it!
I’m not korean, so I don’t speak the language or understand it. I only know a few words here and there like hello and goodbye. I learn from watching the kdramas, but if I could read it and understand it, I would be going on the korean websites and trying to find out as much as I can on these two. So, for me to share anything personal about these 2 lovebirds would be secondhand news. Don’t quote me on anything, that’s for sure. I can only share my love for these 2 actors and the drama Goong that opened up my eyes to the Korean language and culture. I have only 1 Korean friend, but she is a Korean-American, so she can’t speak the language either. I’m Japanese-American and I can’t speak Japanese. I should have learned the language when my mom sent me to Japanese school as a kid, but I refused to learn it. I’m so babo for being lazy. hahahahaha. Now, I teach children who mainly speak Spanish and I can’t even communicate with them! I need to learn some languages! Seriously…I should have been more open to languages. Now, I regret it.

About the language.. i think Korean is easier to learn than Japanese.. I studied Japanese but I think the writing was so difficult and I did not have time to memorize it. Korean on the other hand, i could read it and write it but i have no idea what it says. hahaha.. i actually just learned on my own via the internet.. i used to teach them before (a lot of them went to the philippines to learn) so that’s where i picked up the love for the language (aside from being a certified Kdrama, Kpop and Kvariety buff!). but because i’m staying here, i’m slowly forgetting it.
i want to learn it again! anyway.. i think it’s never too late to learn a language so you could find some sources on the net! wink wink *_*

hello, bingungmama! sorry for being so late with the reply. welcome here! the more, the merrier. right chipskjaa? chipskjaa teaches high school in thailand, while i taught college in the philippines for two sems only before coming to the US. here, i practiced my profession as an accountant. i admire you and chipskjaa, because it is harder to teach younger kids than college kids. about eunjung, i don’t think she was in QIM. i believe that was a different drama, but it’s a good drama nonetheless. i almost finished it. i was at ep. 14 before i discovered goong. i was waiting for new eps to be uploaded, and while waiting i watched goong. after goong, i abandoned all the other dramas i was watching. that was about three months ago. so, i’m really a baby when it comes to YEH and JJH fandom (is that a word? lol). after finishing goong, i went right away to the internet and dug up stuff about these two. every website that had them, i visited. i even looked at archives. that’s how i concluded what i think about their relationship.
you’re going back to school already? wow, classes start early in California huh?
btw, does anyone know who hyeonga is? in the premiere of IAK, YEH said “hyeonga fighting!” if this hyeonga is not JJH then it is very curious to me why she wouldn’t even cheer on a friend she grew up together in the biz, YEH’s own words in high cut interview, unless she was purposely avoiding it to preempt any rumour from starting…. but why do it only with JJH? i thought she went there for him.
chipskjaa, that vid that you showed was actually just before the movie screening where they only introduced themselves to the audience. the actual press con was at the start of the vid that i was referring to, where they were all sitting down inside the theatre and answering questions. did you guys hear YEH’s cheer after JJH introduced himself? “hoohoo!” so, b4 the screening he had already changed! this really ties in with the scenario i had a few days ago. anyway, gotta go for now. i will come back later with more observations! happy day everyone!

hello esigh! I always forget to press reply. I left another comment on this website. I’m glad you got my first message. I saw the video, but she talked so fast that I didn’t know what she said. I am hoping for an announcement of their engagement by the end of the year or the new year. JJH is making a great comeback with his movie and his upcoming drama. I wish YEH would do something soon too. I just love her acting.

I am adding a video that I found in my bookmarks. It’s an entertainment companies report on YEH being in some kind of scandal I think with JJH. I don’t understand Korean, so I can’t translate, but if you know of someone who does, maybe they can translate the video. You may have already seen it.
I was just curious about this video.

Anyeo everyone! I just got home from work. It is sooooo hot in Southern California right now. The air conditioning in my classroom isn’t working, so I left as soon as I was allowed to and came home to talk with you gals. I don’t know anyone by hyeonga. I saw on a friend’s facebook, lots of pics that she has of JJH and one of them was of JJH’s friends going out after his performance of VOL. I’m not sure what VOL is. I don’t know how to upload photos. It’s in her facebook account. You can ask if you want to be friends with her on facebook. Her username is tarits sim. Just ask to be her friend. She has tons of pictures of JJH and YEH. Not together as a couple, because they are never seen together, which I think is so sad. She is a huge fan of JJH and is a hyoonie shipper. That’s what they call JJH & YEH as a couple.
esigh, don’t be embarassed about being a newbie to Goong. I’m so glad that this drama still has an affect on people’s emotions for being over 6 years old. Not all movies/dramas can do that. It has become a classic! I will never get tired of watching it. It still pulls at my heartstrings everytime I watch it. I just can’t get enough of these 2 actors. They were great for their first time as actors and I really think they grew to love each other from doing the drama. They literally grew up before my eyes. It took from September 2005 to March of 2006 to complete this drama. I can tell from the 1st episode to the last the changes in their faces and acting ability. It was so cute to see how their relationship grew from the story and from the behind the scenes videos. I still love the scenes where Chae-Khung tells Shin, “I already gave my heart away.” “It’s not so easy for me to give it to someone else.” (And babo Shin doesn’t even know it’s him that CK is talking about). And when she tells Yul, ” If you see me in 25 million years, just walk away. Don’t say “hello”, because I will still be in love with Shin.” “sniff,sniff” I think this is what happened to her in real life with her and Ji Hoon-ssi.
Well, let me know if you hear anything else about these 2 sad lovebirds.

i really can’t tell what the video is about either. it was shown/uploaded in feb 2010, after JJH has already entered the military and YEH did not have any dramas or movies, so i don’t know. maybe chipskjaa can make some sense out of it.
hyeonga is actually young-a, which means JJH. that is his real name joo young hoon. VOL is voyage of life. it was the musical that he and lee jung ki did for the military while they were in the service. if he went out with friends after the performance, wouldn’t those friends be in the military also? idk.
about those scenes, this is so weird, but i actually have the opposite feeling about them. i mean, i like that she said those things: first, to shin, but they were fighting and she doesn’t tell him straight what she meant, so it creates more misunderstanding. i was saying dumb shin and stupid ck, why can’t you just tell him straight seeing how shin is so inadequate when it comes to those things; and second to yul, why are you telling yul when shin just cried on your shoulder and you didn’t even say anything to comfort him? those words would have been good to hear.
bingungmama, do you see what i mean? i like scenes where thay are being honest with each other like when ck finally told him she loves him, or when shin told ck about that 25,000 years and that he’ll still want to meet her again, or even at the summer retreat place, the simple opening of the windows and shin was trying to get her to watch the view. he had that naughty smile, like he was trying to get her in the mood so he can go to first base (wink wink *_*), or in the car by the beach when shin took ck’s hand and held it and she put her other hand on top of shin’s. man, there’s a lot of scenes i like, but not when they’re fighting. i like their make-up parts, so sweeeet .
LikeLike
OK, the scenes that I was talking about touched my heart. Yes, CK should be more honest to Shin, but why didn’t he get it? Is it not so obvious? CK: “I can only give my heart to one person and it’s already been given away.” If it’s not YUL, like she told Shin, then who could it be? Kang-In? NO! Shin’s secretary? NO! Who else has she been spending so much time with? YOU!! PABO Shin! She’s talking about YOU! Even though Shin told her the story about wanting to see her again in 25 million years, she still hit him and then they’re so cute trying to throw rocks at each other, but yeah, shouldn’t she have known that Shin loves her too? The hand holding was very cute and the hugs! Oh my goodnes! Why does Shin always hug and kiss her when she’s sleeping? It makes me so mad that the writers are intentionally making the both of them babo! Even after seeing Shin’s video with the rest of their friends kissing her while she’s sleeping, she still doesn’t realize that Shin likes her! Come on…how dumb can you be. No guy is going to kiss you that sweetly and then say it’s all a joke! Yea…ranting and raving makes it fun! I still love this drama even though sometimes I just want to choke those 2 lovebirds.
In other blogs people will start a thread with a question. So, I will ask you and whomever else is seeing this blog:
Which scene made you cry the most? There’s so many…right? But which one stands out the most?

i was laughing at your post! you’re right. i was going crazy screaming at my computer screen cuz those two were just so clueless, but you know what? it’s actually the reason why the make-up scenes were so good, and also why the first real kissing scene on ep 23 was so unforgetable, cuz they made us go through that roller coaster of emotions. the writers made it fit the song parrot, which had the two lovers in the song as both babos.
the scene that made me cry the most was when ck was saying goodbye to halma mama. even pd hwang cried during the shoot. close second was when ck was running after shin’s car as he was leaving to go to court. that was the last time for themto see each other before ck goes overseas.

Yes, episode 23 and 24, were very painful to watch. Actually, from episode 20 on up. Those last 5 episodes had lots of drama! I loved, as you say, the “we”re back to getting along and we’re in love” scenes. There are too many scenes that I cried at! I guess, I am just too emotional with these two lovebirds. I cried when she didn’t get to see her parents because she had to study. I was like, “Oh poor CK. She misses her family so much!” And I really cried at the 2 scenes you mentioned, but I also cried, when Shin tried to stop CK from being deposed, but she said, “No, I will be leaving the Palace as my choice because I need to take responsibility and I am doing this for the Monarchy because they are my family.” Oh…those tears from Shin and CK!!! I felt their pain…”sniff,”sniff”. The other scene that I cried is when she went to that field and started screaming with Yul. I felt her pain because of seeing those pictures of Shin and Hyo-Rin. Oh…I wanted to kick Shin’s butt so bad!
Wasn’t it like karma for Shin. When CK came to the Palace she was crying and going through hardships and near the end because of Shin’s jealousy and Yul’s evil mom, Shin was the one crying and going through hardships to become King.
The director Hwang Ro supposedly liked to put in a lot of symbolism in this drama. Did you notice any of it? One of the symbols, was the crown necklace that CK wore. When it fell and broke, it was a sign that she was going to lose being the Crown Princess. There are others. I’m watching episode 23 again….love the KISS!

this is going to be a long one. i started this comment a couple days ago, but i got tied up elsewhere. sorry, if i missed stuffed. i’ll catch up later. gotta post this before it disappear.
i was trying to find the english subbed episode of come to play where YEH was a guest promoting MBMD in mar 2011, but i can’t find any. i read somewhere that when the guests were asked to give a message to their future husbands, YEH said “if you (tangshin) don’t have a job right now, it’s alright (kinchana). you can do a little house cleaning, i’ll make lots of money for both of us. let’s live happily/prettily together.” doesn’t this sound like it was lifted from goong – the couch scene? shin: if i get dethrone, you may have to work and feed me. ck: it’s ok. i’ll make the money, you do the housework. shin: a man doing the housework? that can’t be. (insert clip) ck: why didn’t you answer the phone? shin: i was cleaning and putting the kids to sleep…” then, still promoting MBMD on star date – guerilla interview, YEH said she wants to get married soon. at the time of the CTP interview, JJH did not have a job and his future was uncertain. why, of all things, did YEH pick such things to say? it was so specific that i can’t help thinking she’s got someone in mind. why would one pick a jobless guy to marry? in fact, normally one chooses a financially stable guy to introduce to daddy as the future son-in-law. that’s why she got that response – shock. i think she was close to tears, but she tried to laugh it off. oh, and also i think she mentioned somehwere during this program that she had been wanting to get married since she was 22. when did she meet JJH or rather started dating him? no wonder JJH sang IRIS “and i’d give up forever to touch you cause i know that you feel me somehow. you’re the closest to heaven that i’ll ever be … and i don’t want the world to see me, cause i don’t think that they’d understand. when everything’s made to be broken, i just want you to know who i am. and you can’t firght the tears that ain’t coming or the moment of truth in your lies. when everything feels like the movies, yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive….”
chipskjaa, here’s the vid of the ctp interview. YEH’s message starts at around 8:10: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvTsASDW7T8 can you make sense out of it? was i right in the translation? what do you think? am i reading too much into it like my niece tells me? i still believe that message was for only one person – young-ah.

I left a message on chipskjaa’s new JJH/YEH shippers site. See you there. I really can’t wait for these 2 to admit they’re in love! Wouldn’t that be soooo great? Love the fact that they send secret signals, songs, messages to each other. How romantic is that?
I think Taylor Swift’s song “Love Story” fits their relationhip.
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I’m standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd (This is the dancing scene)
And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don’t go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet ’cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
‘Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don’t go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess (The scandal with Yul)
It’s a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around (Her waiting for the apolgy from
My faith in you is fading the King – waiting for Shin)
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo save me I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don’t know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet
You’ll never have to be alone
I love you and that’s all I really know (Shin asks CK to marry her)
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It’s a love story baby just say yes
Oh, oh, oh, oh
‘Cause we were both young when I first saw you

i am watching goong again! i thought i’m ready to give other kdramas a chance, but i still can’t do it. not even five fingers. i don’t know if i will be able to watch that one, knowing that JJH has a love interest in it, and she’s a YEH look-alike wannabe. i want the real YEH. even though i love JJH and i think he’s a good actor, as well as a loyal boyfriend/”husband” to YEH, i just can’t watch him with another woman. if he’s not with YEH, i don’t even want to see him. however, i’m happy for JJH’s sake that the ratings for 5F is going up and #1 in its time slot, beating May Queen. i am nervous, for YEH, to see him with another woman. maybe that’s why i’m going back to goong. there is one kdrama exception though – gaksital! i want to see it. chipskjaa, it’s not too serious for me (i watched road no.1 and loved it and ji sub). i want to see it since i saw joo won on 2DiN playing hard to win for his teammates lee sugeun and uhm taewoong. haven’t gotten around to it yet, but i will…after i watch goong.

Hi chipskjaa and esigh. I agree with you Esigh on the drama Reply 1997. I am laughing and crying with this drama. I love how they go back and forth between past and present. They do it flawlessly, so that I’m not confused or lost on what is happening. The writers pull me in with “who got married?”. And who did Shi Won get pregnant with? I’m laughing at the comical scenes and all the characters are enjoyable and endearing. This is a must see drama for getting the thoughts of a fan crazy teenager when Kpop started becoming popular. Loving this one a lot! Of course I’m also watching JJH’s Five Fingers too. It’s good, but does not compare to Goong. I will watch it for JJH and the piano playing. Both my sister and daughter are piano teachers. I think YEH is taking a break from the dramas to support JJH. Or maybe JJH doesn’t want YEH to have live scenes with another actor. She is only going to premiers and parties to still be in the media, but will be faithful to Young ha. “wink, wink”.😉😍
