Goong, Palace Story by So Hee Park
Buy Goong, Palace Story on Amazon
Okay – so perhaps it’s just that I have a special fondness for this series as it’s the one that introduced me to manga/manhwa in the first place or perhaps because it is.. so perfect in that it hits the right amount of drama, the right level of swooniness and some of the most beautiful art. I get positively giddy when I get a new volume of Goong in and wish I could get my hands on more!
From Amazon, the description of the series is:
Monarchy ended long ago in Korea, but there are still other countries with Kings, Queens, princes and princesses. What if Korea had continued monarchism? What if all the beautiful palaces which are now only historical relics were actually filled with people?! What if the glamorous royal family still maintained the palace customs?! Welcome to a world where Korea still has the royal family living their lives! Only for this one high school girl, Che-Kyung, this is a tragedy, since she has to marry the prince who apparently is a total bastard!
In this volume she’s celebrating her 1 year anniversary and the Queen is concocting a plan to make sure that divorce will not happen between Che-Kyung and her prince! The amount of drama, oy! So much fun.
I’ve already decided this series will be sitting on my shelf for my family and friends to enjoy. So. Much. Fun.
I’ve never read manhwa. I have tried manga before but what I tried I couldn’t really get into. This sounds like a series I might like though.
Here is an award for your blog.
I have never heard of this series but it seems really clever!
@Christina This is the first series I actually started to read and it’s so cheesy and perfect. And really, the artwork is amazing.
@Becky It is! You’ll get hooked!
I’ve never heard of this series either. Sounds good.
