Manga review: Goong

Goong (also known as princess hours) is a manhwa (korean manga) by Park So-Hee is a very popular manhwa in Korea, which lead to its adaptation in a succesul drama in 2005. There are 18 volumes in Korea and it is still ongoing.

Summary: (from mangafox)

Monarchy ended long ago in Korea, but there are still other countries with Kings, Queens, princes and princesses. What if Korea had continued monarchism? What if all the beautiful palaces which are now only historical relics were actually filled with people?! What if the glamorous royal family still maintained the palace customs?! Welcome to a world where Korea still has the royal family living their lives! Only for this one high school girl, Chae-Yung, this is a tragedy, since she has to marry (because of an old promise) the crown prince who apparently is a total bastard!

My opinion:
First, sweet Shin is not a "total bastard" , he just has a bad temper xD Hum, anyway, let's be serious, Goong is a really good manga, the drawings are really good and it's a pleasure for the eyes, and the story plot is also nice too. Well, I know guys must be thinking (if they're still reading this post xD) that it's a manga only for girl, and it's true that the aimed public are girls, but I sincerly think that everyone can read it , because chapter by chapter it gets interesting and you get attached to the characters ^ ^ I love how the relationship between Chae-Yung and Shin evolves, how cute they are and how strong they become. I also like learning a lot of things about Korean tradition. But above all this manga is very funny and also very touching, you laugh and cry while reading it ^ ^ Try it ^__ ^
My opinion: Ok.....ya its that typical girl loves cool prince story! But at the end its not like! because from the beginning you know that they are destinyed for the other, but then you see there there is still Shins love Hyorin! And you start to think slowly! You even get to like Yul the son of the dead king, though he plays his games to get Chea-Yung! Most Korean artist have their incredible backgrounds and styles what differs them from the Japanese. Same for Goong, the pictures show the story and the plot guess along well,whout getting bored! GUYS AND GALS, you have that read that one!!!!!!
