Synopsis
Goong is story about the love in face of tradition, politics, and intrigue. Korea is a constitutional monarchy and the Royal Family lives in a grand Palace, the Goong. Story opens with a startling diagnosis that the King is terminally ill. Faced with the decreasing popularity among the public for the Royalty, a grand wedding for the Crown Prince, Lee Shin, is decided to be the best publicity move to improve the image of Royalty and at the same time prepare Shin for immediate succession. The intended bride? The headstrong, awkward, and sweet spirited Shin Chae-gyung that just happens to go to the same exclusive art school. Chae-gyung was betrothed to become the next Crown Princess by her grandfather and Shin's grandfather.

is there already a thread for goong 2 here or this is it? cause ive heard goong 2 is about the unlikely prince..thus the title prince hours...the lead male actor is cute tho i dont quite like the lead actress..still confused with the plot and how's it going to be connected with goong 1...is he the son on chaegyung and shin?

[musikera]

i think this is for goong1.,

i think it's a daughter not a son because when ive watched the ending, there is a portrait of a princess.. im also confused because they [chaegyung & shin] have this pic on the intrnt- and they had a son.. i dont know..

this is what i found: [http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Goong_S]

Synopsis

The Queen (played by Myung Se Bin) is in her early 30s but still unmarried. Because of this, in a condition where there cannot be a reduction in the number of successors to the throne, the present prince (the 1st successor) suddenly leaves the world and leaves a vacancy in the line of successors.

So they go out to find the secret prince and finally finds Lee Hoo (played by Se7en), who has been living outside of the palace.

Lee Hoo is the son of a prince and his mother who died early, she had departed with his father and left the palace, hiding the fact that she was already pregnant. He does not know that he possesses royal blood and has lived, working as a delivery boy at a chinese restaurant.

Although usually, he has wang ja byung (?) (prince disease), he had never dream of entering the palace and receiving royal lessons.

Lee Hoo, the unbelievable no 1 successor to the throne and the perfect Lee Joon (played by Kang Doo) will bring tension to the drama as they fight over the position.

After Lee Hoo enters the palace, an important place will be the royal academy. It is a place for members of the royal family as well as descendants of wealthy families.

The drama will also be about the romance between the characters

Hwang Inroe stated that “Goong S” will have the same theme of a fictional constitutional monarchy in Korea, showing how tradition and the present can co-exist together. The plot will also be tied to the first series.

Cast
* Se7en as Lee Hoo
* Heo Yi Jae as Yang Soon-Ae
* Park Shin Hye as Shin Sae Ryung
* Kang Doo as Lee Joon

[smile_sweet_pie]

I love Goong! I thought Goong 2's story was going to continue off of Goong 1. But I'm happy with the story line. Just would have liked to see CG and Shin together again. Isn't there production problems going on with Goong 2?
