It seems like I was watching Korean drama "Goong" for a long period of time. It feels like there will be time when I will remember October 2006 and think "I was watching Goong". And a lovely watching it was indeed!
+ Now I am going to start with "When I was a wee girl". Ok, when I was a wee girl Cinderella was my favourite fairy tale. I grew up and watched different versions of it, but I never got tired of it. SO when I heard that Korean drama "Goong" (or "Princess Hours") is the modern-day version of the timeless tale I was ready to like it even before I watched the first episode.
+ When I started watching I fell in love with the main hero and the main heroine. I adore Chae-gyung because she is so independent, sparkly, kind and funny. I love Shin because he is reserved and arrogant and proud but uses "you brought my heart out of it's hidden cave" expressions. And also he had some very hard time growing up, some unresolved issues his parents left him with. And because I view both of CG and Shin from a slightly maternal angle, I just wanted to hug Shin to death half of the time.
+ I found "Goong" to be very interesting culturally. I was eager to know about the traditions of the Korean Royal family, the laws of the palace, Korean poetry, sculpture and painting. All these topics were raised in one form or another in "Goong". So if you are interested in things like this, it is very worthy to check out!
+ But apart from all this, I fell in love with the cinematography and the costumes. I have seen many lavish BBC dramas, but nothing yet impressed me as much as the costumes in "Goong". Truly, they are an integral part of this manga adaptation.
Costumes in Goong. Photo essay. Come and see the beauty of period costumes! ( And some doubtful designer decisions too). I tried to keep it spoiler-free( Part 1: Ladies costumes: period beauty and designer style )( Part 2: Gentlemen's costumes: This is where it all is becoming dubious )![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
