궁

궁(pronounce: Gung), means Palace in Korean.

Imagine being a happy-go-lucky high school student and finding out one day that your commoner grandfather and the King of the country had made a pact that you would marry the Crown Prince. This is Chae-Gyung's predicament as she is quickly thrust into a royal marriage to a complete stranger. (Oh, and did I mention that Korea is a country that doesn't even have a monarchy in the real world?). For some, it's a true alternate reality Cinderella story, but for Chae-Gyung, her Prince, named Shin, turns out to be mean and selfish with little intent of breaking up with his previous girlfriend and every intention of divorcing her in a couple years.

But the bubbly and good natured Chae-Gyung finds solace in the Crown Prince's cousin, Prince Yul. He is the true Prince Charming, a kind and understanding soul who quickly falls in love with her (his cousin-in-law). Complicating the situation is the fact that prince Yul used to be the Crown Prince and she was originally betrothed to him. And as it turns out, the parents of the Princes have a complicated past and love triangles all their own.

I love this series a lot. It reminds me of my all time favorite "Full House" & "Mentor Garden". The first half of the series is very funny, but it has a sharp turn on the second half. The chemistry between the casts are great. Of course, not to mention the beautiful costumes and settings.

Make sure you get the OST as well. The music are so touching *sniff sniff*

I'm considering this as my 2nd all-time-favorite K-Drama ever (Sorry, 1st has to goes to Full House with Rain and Song Hye Kyo). My 3rd favorite will be "My lovely Sam Soon".
