I enjoyed vol 2. It continued from vol 1. The humor is still there and I laughed several times. There is not much romance yet, but it has a slow burn feel.
It is all sprinkled with possibilities for what is to come. More intrigue and drama.

I absolutely loved this book. This was a fantastic sequel. It was nice seeing Chae Kyung and Shin's wedding again. I will be continuing on with this series very soon.

Super cute manga series I'm enjoying with my tween.

I'm still really loving this art, and enjoying getting to know Shin and Chae Kyung. I keep trying to separate the characters in the manhwa from the characters in the drama, but it is definitely difficult.
Chae Kyung is adorable and so strong, even if she might not feel that way. I love that she at least tries to stand up to Shin and always says what she thinks. Her attraction to Shin's back cracks me up, but it would be weird for her not to notice that her husband is hot. This is the first volume in which we see her relationship with Yul develop, though we still haven't seen much.
Yul as we see him now seems mostly friendly and very welcoming to Chae Kyung, so it's a relief for her that he visits the palace daily and is in her class at school. It's only in a hidden moment that you see that Yul is not as happy or peaceful as he might seem, and that he might bear some resentment towards Shin, who took his place as crown prince when Yul's father died.
Shin is the most complicated character we've been introduced to so far. He seems to run both hot and cold towards Chae Kyung, dismissing her feelings and mocking her in one moment, then going out of his way to make her happy in the next. At this point, I don't know that you could say he feels anything towards Chae Kyung other than a mild interest in the change she's brought into his life. She's different than anyone he is used to, and that could be fascinating for him. I'm hoping his infatuation with Hyo Rin doesn't last much longer, because that's just a pathway to hurt feelings all around.

I'm totally groovin' on this fun series. The author starts with a great "what if" - Korea, a unified country, has continued to have a royal family. It has been arranged that Chae-Kyung, a commoner, marry Prince Shin, who appears to be a total jerk. Both are in high-school and not expected to consummate the marriage until they are of age, but it is preferred that the young Queen-to-be start learning her royal duties early. The author has done a fabulous job researching previous Korean royal practices and imagining how they might have evolved over time. She also very effectively nails the emotions and reactions of her characters in these difficult situations.

I forgot how much I liked this story. The prince is such a jerk to her. I can not figure out why he is so mean to her. In this volume hey marriage had taken place. Now Chae-Kyung has to try and fit in. She askes the Prince if she can go home for a few days and he goes with her.
It did make me smile when they where trying to figure out where he should sleep and he opted for her bed. It was funny her trying to sleep with him there and then her becoming intrigued with his back. You would have to read it to what I am talking about :)

This book seals the deal. I'm hopelessly addicted...and I have to wait two more days to get Vol. 3!
This book covers the wedding between the crown prince and Che-Kyung. The tension between them provides so much fun and laughter, and her expressions are so perfect. It amazes me how the art in these books can make you feel the motion and movements and feelings. Just glancing at the pictures before actually reading the text can tell me just how the story is going to go on that page, and is part of the reason why this series is drawing me in so easily.

There is something compelling about this series that I just don't understand but get sucked in by. I do love the art and the simpleness and focus on the main characters. I love how the girl has so many different ways of doing her hair!
I liked seeing the Shin and Chae-kyung could be a happy couple and how we didn't see Hyo-rin until she dropped the bomb on Shin. The visit home after watching the drama was very cute. Her carefree ways bother Shin and I like being able to hear his thoughts.
BOTTOM LINE: Give me more!

I love love this series. It is so entertaining with the artwork and wording. It is a good story where you know some things that will happen but then other things happen too. You can be very surprised. In this volume I wasn't really surprised I knew what would go on. But the story of this series is of a girl and guy promised to marry. They do and a bunch of fun and drama ensues.

I really like how it is going. It is very intriguing. I am starting to feel Yul’s presence. But I miss Chaekyung’s long-haired friend in the TV Drama, she is not included in this manhwa, is she? Sigh, but it was still okay, I still got to enjoy it.
I want more of Shin’s and his wife moments, please keep it coming!!

Story and character development: 4 stars. Art: 2 stars
There were segments in this series that I found the art very unappealing... even alittle ugly, but, I've only read the first two. I liked the story enough to want to continue reading.

I liked this volume a lot more than the first one. I've seen the show (LOVE IT), and this is pretty different, so it probably just took me a bit to really get into it. I'm excited for the next volume now!

Kawaiii.. a good comic about Korean Kingdom. Nice picture. Funny, romantic and sad. I'm waiting for volume no.14. Goong also adapted to Korean drama named Princess Hour.

Still so funny. On more than one occasion I found myself laughing out loud. Very enjoyable. Especially the parts where the people shrink to 20 cm with their square faces LMAO.

This series was so much more compelling when I read it all in a rush in scans. Still like the girl being overcoming with lust for the boy's beautiful back, though.
