Lately, I've been very hooked to a television show. Its title is Princess Hours. Its korean title is goong which means 'palace' or 'love in the palace'. This show is starred by Eun-Yoon-Hee who plays the role of princess Janelle. Joo-Ji-Hoon plays the character of prince Gian. Kim-Jeong Hoon as prince Troy and Song-Ji-Hyo as Monique.
The story is about an ordinary girl being married and eventually falling in love with the prince. They were to marry according to the will of the great king and his bestfriend. They promised to each other that they will make their grandchildren marry each other. At first, Prince Gian dislikes her because he finds her so annoying. Princess Janelle later started to have feelings toward the prince but hides it instead because she believes that the prince still loves her ex- girlfriend, Monique. The story complicates when prince Troy, the prince's cousin started to fall in love with Janelle. As Troy's feelings deepened towards Janelle, Monique tries to get back her boyfriend (Prince Gian) but then eventually gives up. Troy also gives up because he saw how both of them (Janelle and Gian) love each other so much. Gian then finally realizes that he also has feelings toward Janelle. The story ends in Macau where the royal couple remarried in a Catholic Church and with Janelle having a possibility of carrying the royal grandchild.
I like the story so much because it pictures the dream of every girl- to become a princess. I believe being a princess is every girl's dream. Living in their own palace and sharing dreams with their prince charming. Who doesn't want to be like that? But we all know that in reality fairy tales don't come true- they don't exist. If they do exist, only a chosen few gets a chance to live a fairy tale life. Through the story, I knew that being a prince or a princess is not that easy. Being a royalty also means carrying with you the responsibilty to lead the people, most especially the country. In the story, I pity the lives of the royalties so much. Eventhough it seems that they get to have everything they want, it doesn't really mean like that. Like for example, Prince Gian never cared to have a dream because no one asked about it and no one even cares if he has his own dreams or not. He never even cared to make his own decisions because somebody will be doing the decision for him which is quite not fair for him. He has his own life but he can't live it by himself but instead other people decides and lives it for him.

I also like the character of Janelle because she really was a fighter and eventhough she was already living in the palace she did not change her real self but instead showed it to everyone. Unexpectedly, everyone in the palace learned to love her because of her very bubbly character. Even the very stiff prince learned to like her and eventually loved her. She makes everyone feel happy especially the great queen (Gian's grandmother). But she also hides her sadness and pain because she feels that her husband doesn't love her and that she alraedy feels something for her husband. But eventhough, she still manages to smile and be happy because she believes that problems will eventually pass.
Troy, the cousin of Gian was the prince who wanted revenge. Because of Prince Marco's death(Troy's father)Troy and his mother lived away from the palace. They both stayed in England. After 14 years, they came back in Korea with a plan to regain the king's position and to make Troy a prince again. Unexpectedly, Troy falls for Janelle because he believes that they should be the ones to become the royal crown prince and princess if not for his father's death. But as he struggles to fight his love for Janelle, Janelle falls in love deeper to Gian. This made him rage and he even wanted to fight more and get the prince's position. Eventually, he gave up because he saw how much Gian and Janelle love each other.
Monique was Gian's ex- girlfriend. Gian even proposed to her but then rejects him because she wants to fulfill her dream- to become a famous ballerina. As she tries to keep Gian away from her mind, she found herself love him even more. That's why she tries to get him back but then she failed because Gian alraedy liked Janelle at that time. She regrets of letting go of her love for her dream but then she can't turn back the time. But eventually she lets go of her love and moves on.
Isn't the story exciting guys? But I won't spill much of the story more because I might spoil the excitement (I actually know what will happen in the story because I already saw it.) So watch Princess Hours Mondays to Thursdays after Maging Sino Ka Man. Enjoy watching guys! Have fun!
