Goong

==Details==
*'''Title:''' 궁 (宮) / Goong (Gung)
*'''Also known as:''' Palace (lit. translation) / Princess Hours (MBC Global Media) / Imperial Household
*'''Genre:''' Romance, Comedy
*'''Episodes:''' 24
*'''Broadcast network:''' MBC
*'''Broadcast period:''' 2006-01-11 to 2006-03-30
*'''Air time:''' Wednesday & Thursday 21:55
*'''Songs:''' (사랑인가요) Perhaps love by Howl &J
*'''Related TV shows:''' [[Goong 2]]

==Synopsis==
'''Goong (궁)''' is based on the same titled [[Wikipedia:Manhwa|manhwa]] by Park So Hee.

''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.

As in life, humor maskes the pain in this beautifully shot drama.

'''Goong (궁)''' [[Goong_2|Season 2]] is planned. NONE of the four original main characters from Season 1 will play in the second season.
