The palace discovers the existence of a royal grandson living among commoners. In turns out that he have absolutely no clue about his identity. After he graduated from high school, he works as a delivery boy. He didn’t know until the palace invited him to come and he suddenly became a member of the imperial family in one night. Upon his entrance in the palace, he began his training. He will be groomed to become emperor. The inspiration for this plot came from the true story of the Joseon dynasty where a commoner became the emperor.
Se7en ~ Lee Hoo
His blood flows in a Royal family, but Lee Hoo doesn’t know it. Not knowing that he’s a prince, he works at a Chinese Restaurant as a delivery boy…delivering food in the palace. He looks at everything in a positive aspect and is an optimist by nature. Though he’s in poverty, he lives every day freely…but one day, something happens and it’s the start of his life as a royal.
he is only 22 this year. i always thought se7en was much older than that. haha.
Heo Yi Jae ~ Yang Soon-Ae
Everyone in the neighborhood knows Soon-Ae as an impracticable girl. She thinks preciously of her fraternal twin. But one day, she finds out that Lee Hoo is the boy that she grew up with as a child, and they start their life’s together in the palace.
guess what? she is ONLY 19~!!!! gosh. and she stands at 165cm and weighs 45kg. nonsense. i MUST 减肥~!!!
Park Shin Hye ~ Shin Sae-Ryung
Honor and power, Sae-Ryung grew up in a wealthy family. She has never lost first place/spot at school. She has skills and the looks of becoming prince’s wife. She always had the ambition of becoming a royal princess. However, the prince that she has always imagined of is completely different when she see’s Lee Hoo’s sudden appearance. A change comes to her way.
more shocking news: she is only 16. yes. a mere 16. and she is acting already. ok. what am i doing here?
and she acted in 天国的阶梯 before! she was the young Han Jung-suh (the female lead during her younger days)!! she was 13.
then
now
Kang Doo ~ Lee Joon
To become a prince, he recieved training as a mastery elite. He’s a great candidate. Lee Hoo’s appearance makes Lee Joon get farther away from becoming a prince. He’s a perfectionist.
he's 27. 11 years older than shinhye. goodness. what an old and wrinkled tomato.
goong 2 will be known as goong S and will begin filiming on 20th nov (that is last sunday!!). it is scheduled to be broadcasted on 10th jan.
SOURCE 2
Goong 2 will be about a prince who does not know he possesses royal blood who is working as a delivery boy in a Chinese restaurant. The story is about him entering the palace and what happens after that.
Hwang Inroe (the director) indicated that “Goong II” will continue with the theme of a fictional South Korean monarchy, showing how tradition and the present can co-exist together. The plot will also be tied to the first series. The ending of “Goong” revealed that ultimately Lee Shin and Lee Yul didn’t inherit the throne, leading to the temporarily ascension of Shin’s sister Hyaemyong. The sequel will thus continue with this plot as the palace discovers the existence of a royal grandson living among commoners. In turns out that he have absolutely no clue about his identity. After he graduated from high school, he works as a delivery boy. He didn’t know until the palace invited him to come and he suddenly became a member of the imperial family in one night. Upon his entrance in the palace, he began his training. He will be groomed to become emperor.
i cant see how the info from the first source is tied to the second source. i mean, the info from the first source isn't really linked to goong 1 however source 2 states that goong 2's "plot will also be tied to the first series". HmM...
i want goong 1's story to continue! i want to see life after the birth of the crown grandson!! argh... i doubt the sequel will be as nice as the first series. sigh... no more lee shin and chaegyung.
