Cast: Se7en , Heo Yi Jae (Sunflower, 비열한 거리), Park Shin Hye (Heaven's Tree), Kang Doo (Hello Francesca)
Plot: 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.

Seven aka Choi Dong-Wook plays the character: Lee Hoo
Huh Lee-Jae plays the character: Yang Soon-Ae (she's the main female lead, since she plays the opposite of Seven)
Kang Doo plays the character: Lee Joon (he's from the group 'The Jadu', but according to that picture of the four leads...he sure doesn't look like Kang Doo, lol)
Park Shin Hye plays the character: Shin Sae-Ryung


Lee Hoo (Se7en): 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 (poor), he lives every day freely...but one day, something happens and it's the start of his life as a royal.

Yang Soon-Ae (Huh Lee-Jae): 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.

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.

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 (meaning she's very smart)...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.

Filming will start in November 2006 to be aired on MBC in January 2007.

Lots of reaction on why PSH isn't the 1st Female lead. Hwang PD explains his choice of leads here.

i wonder if they will finish filming in time... but i wished that they had the original cast... i hope it will be good...

Who's the main actress? The girl on the upper right corner or the girl under Se7en?

hmmm i think i might watch this even tho i'm a goong 1 fan but w.e se7en is in this so it's an exception haha the lead actress doesnt look that pretty to me...

woot woot... im gonna watch it because its se7en! i dont like the leading actress though. but i do hope it would be good. much more than the first one.

seven looks so much like the other prince (the one who got demoted cause his dad died), when i first saw the pictures of him, i always thought it was seven, but it really is going to be something on how they're going to play this script out

I want to see Se7en and Park Shin Hye pair up They would make a very kute couple!!

^ same here... i think they do look cute too...
but i still insist on the original cast of goong tho!!!
Im still goin to watch this, mainly because of se7en..
he looks so cute in that pic!!!
cant wait to see this... juss a few more months to go!!

I am rooting for this two too.. i mean Park Shin Hye though young, well... they all are, is very talented and i have not seen many talented asian actress around.

i think it would be interesting as she can handle emotional show well... wat is the manager thinking when they took the role for her and not as lead.....

oh well.. gotta see.

Wow now it's for real that YEH and Joo Ji Hun if i speled it correctly is not really gonna work for this one....i just hope it would still have that goong factor that made me so hook to it.. i will miss YEH and joo ji hun... ha i hope they would act on another drama

i don't think d lead actress is tat compatible with Se7en..she looks a bit matured for Se7en...i think Park Shin Hye will be a better pair up...hmm...so,,d casts is a bit dissapointed for me..

The first lead actress is Huh Lee Jae and the second lead is Park Shin Hye. Toobad cause I wanted PSH to be the main lead.

it seems to be really refreshing, the new cast and story. eventhou it's all gud, i'm still sadden because i luv the first one dearly. nywei, i'm really curious abt this one and i hope it's much better than the first one so that i won't get sad anymore.

OH! I can't wait until it comes out. It seems like it will be very interesting to watch. The cast is pretty good. AND SE7EN WILL BE IN IT!!!

the storyline seems interesting but is it going to be as good as it sounds? we'll just have to find out next year when they broadcast it. then again se7en is such a cutie. his smile in the picture looks adorable! so sweet!

The female lead girl is not that pretty i prepare Park Shin Hye to be the lead female then second lead female is Heo Yi Jae .....................and the other guy my god he nothing compare to KJH....................Casting SE7EN and Park Shin Hye is good but those other two my god what did the PD thinking.....................

I'm looking forward to this series though...
Even though, the old casts are returning...
But I am sure, this new series will receive good feedback and everything.
Se7eN looks very cute their!!! He will do a good job in protraying his role!!!

omfg Park Shin Hye is in it!!! shes improved so much since stairway to heaven and tree's heaven!!! good luck to her!

Cant wait to see this drama next year. by the way if anyone noticed, GOONG 2 called PRINCE HOUR instead of PRINCESS HOUR.

looking forward to see more pics of Prince Hours, Se7en looks really cute on the pic =)
the cast looks refreshing... i don't know the other actor and actresses.
can't wait to see this!

so finally it is confirmed for se7en being part of the cast ! he'll play the boy version og eun hye =) hope the series will be good !!

Wow!!! A total different cast Can't wait to see how they perform.. especially SE7EN!!!

I was really looking forward to see the original cast in this Goong 2. Kind of disappointed, but I will still watch the second one....

so like Goong 2 is not a sequel of Goong ?!
I mean the sister of Shin in Goong becomes queen right ? and now in Goong 2 theres a new prince ?! lol so im guessing they are not linked. Its a whole new story in Goong 2

Kinda disappointed like some ppl here. Hope there's still some appearance of the old Shin + CG from Goong

the leading actress is not pretty and the same goes to the 2nd male lead. I still prefer YEH and the other three. Too bad, the previous casts couldn't act in GOONG 2.

PSH should be the female lead and paired up with Se7en...the other girl reminds me of KTH and therefore, looks too old for Se7en

The plot seems pretty interesting but I prefer the original cast more. I haven't seen any of the leads act before so i'm looking forward to this drama.

I hate it that Goong 2 has a completely different cast! I wished that the original cast would play in it! Argggggg!!!!!! I feel like crying when I heard that the orignal cast wasn't going to be there... I'm really disappointed!

Can't wait till the series airs. I really want Se7en to be with Park Shin Hye.

I'm happy that the cast has been decided. Even though it's not the original cast, I will support Goong 2. I'm excited to see a new chapter to the goong drama story.

wooot, that other guy isnt so hot lol, but i hope this will be good....i really miss the old cast when i see this picture....damn it!

I prefer the original casts but I am still going to watch this because of Se7en and Park Shin Hye. Too bad Park Shin Hye not the main actress for this one because Heo Yi Jae look too old for Se7en in the second picture and the first pic, she looks like idiot... no offence, just my first impression when I saw her photos

yea!!!...SE7EN is the lead guy...sad that Park Shin Hye isn't the lead actress...perfer 7 and PSH together....they're cuter....the other lady look a little bitter to old for se7en...no offense...can't wait to watch it...

hehe I cannot wait to see Seven acting! hehe the plot sounds very interesting and funny to watch!

the 2 person on the left have great chemistry,, are they the ones who will be 2gether?

if they are

i may probably watch it...

uh...i don't get it...so Yang Soon-Ae has a twin...but her "twin" isn't Lee Hoo is it?...she didn't grow up thinking that they were siblings did she??...and it doesn't say who her fraternal twin is...does she already live in the palace? or Lee Hoo takes her there with him??

dude..i`m soo jealous of shin, she`s in like EVERYTHING now.
i don't think this will be worth watching..

There's something I don't understand. In all the other synopsis' that I've read (they're all the same as this one), there is mention about a faternal twin. So the girl Yung So Ae has a twin, but who's the twin? Se7en? Or someone else? Why bother mentioning/creating a twin if the twin is not part of the plot? Or maybe it's going to be all twisted and the twin does play a part. I'm confused.

oh, so goong 2 will have a completely different story from goong? i was looking forward to a sequel.. but i guess goong ended pretty nicely

OMG I really want to see this series so much I cant wait the lead actor is so hot. I LOVE SE7EN
