Goong- princess hours
haha! i have watched finished the show. feelings about the show and characters changed constantly. but feelings and impressions of the crown prince lee shin didnt change much throughout.
At the beginning, everyone would mostly dislike shin and like yul and find both main female characters acceptable. For me, i like both male characters, sympathised with shin more and like chae kyung more than hyo rin.
but as the show proceeds further, both yul and hyo rin start to become "evil". not really evil evil but mostly greedy evil. but not really evil cause at the age of 19, i believe human nature and love would sometimes bring out the greed in everyone and thats what happened.
In the end, it was a happy ending. the "evil" characters didnt really suffer any dramatic ending. Royalty regained some freedom and the throne was in the firm and just hands of shin's sis. since she was always diplomatic and clear headed, i guess it was the right and wise choice of shin to hand the crown over to his elder sis.
hmmm..in this show, there was never any evil character. no evil evil. but jus greedy evil. I love the queen mother, so cute and understanding. hopefully the king could finally give a place in his heart to the queen. she spent 20 years of her youth pining for his heart and gave him 2 lovable kids and looked after them and his royal family. alittle love wouldnt kill anyone right? the power hungry queen dowager however paid a huge price for a moment of power. she lost her true love in return for a few years of power and many more years of regrets, sadness, loneliness and love for others. but if there wasnt her hunger, shin wouldnt be born.hehe. irony isnt it. a nice man born from the hunger of an "evil" woman. cause if she married the younger bro at that time, the man she truely loves. shin wouldnt be born, this includes yul.meaning no goong! =X
okies..now for the interesting and most lovable character, lee shin. from young, before 5 years old, he was snubbed by yul who demanded to be called his highness though shin was being friendly. and where did that power infatuation character of yul came from.i wonder. but he had the love and warmth of his family. after the age of 5, i sympathised with him as he was deprived of the love and warmth from his parents who think that strict upbringing would be best. thank goodness he had alfred, his bear and his loyal secretary. i think anyone brought up in his situation would probably be like him, unable to express his emotions and feelings. unlike yul who was exposed to the world outside though wasnt crown prince anymore.
i guess when you gained some stuff in life, you gotta lose some. like what hyo rin said, you have to let go of what you are holding on to before you can gain others. i think the ending was great. and though, through the show, i started to dislike each characters, it made me realised that they are 19 years old in the show and are entitled to mistakes and that me a viewer from the outside probably see things clearer. if i was in their shoes, i probably make worse mistakes >.<
i really love this show, the romance, the warmth of the family which slowly makes its way into the royal family, the forgiveness, the pure innonence of youth and love. hmmm.. i guessed ultimately its all about letting go.
letting go of what you hold dear to your heart.
letting go of what seems so important in your life so as to move on
letting go of the thing that brings you both true happiness and sadness
letting go to remove sadness and sufferings of others, even at the expense of love
letting go of the past and future of dreams for the future
letting go to grow up.
letting go is never an easy job and must be done in all stages of life. parents letting their kids go to pursue their dreams etc. so i guessed this is one lesson we will have to keep learning and experincing. =)
when will i ever let go of you, the past and the memories.
letting go of you and the past. done that.
letting go of the fond memories, nope aint gonna do that.
letting go isnt the same as moving on.
letting go can occur without moving on and moving on can happen without letting go.
i have already let go for your happiness and mine, for your future and mine. but moving on seems to be more difficult and confusing. maybe all i need is time.maybe...
