My Love-Hate Relationship with “Goong”

This show is really pissing me off. I pretty much hate all of the main characters. Yool is an annoying and selfish brat that can’t take a hint. Shin is a selfish and dysfunctional dumbass when it comes to relationships. Chae-Kyung is an idiot that does not know the difference between what’s appropriate and what is not. And Hyo-Rin, who has redeemed herself by leaving the country and giving up Shin, was really pissing me off until episode 20. Shin’s mother is so boring it’s sad. Yool’s mother is a selfish, crazy ho who knows no reason. The King is incapable of doing anything right. Chae Kyung’s friends are annoying and just as bad as the citizens that talk shit about her (with the exeption of the girl with the glasses). Shin’s friends suck just as hard. The only people I like in this show is the Great Queen Mother and Shin’s sister because they’re the only ones that make any sense. Oh, and there’s also Chae-Kyung’s family who I tend to like more than I like Chae-Kyung. 

Now, on the other hand.

Shin was raised to be the way he is, his mother basically didn’t treat him as her son, so he grew up not feeling close to anyone. Yool only knows revenge and what his crazy ho of a mother teaches him, so of course when he finally thinks he’s in love he’s going to go after it. Chae-Kung was thrown into the palace and is being treated like crap by the bipolar Shin and she is relentlesly pursued by Yool, of course she’s going to have a hard time coping.  Hyo-Rin was acting like an idiot by trying to pursue Shin after she rejected him but she was being manipulated by Yool’s mother. Yool’s mother is still a crazy ho and there is really no excuse for her actions besides the fact that she’s selfish. Shin’s mother had to deal with her husband being in love with the crown princess and the sudden change of power. The king, is still an idiot in my opinion. 

As much as everyone sincerely pisses me off to no end I can’t stop watching this show. As much as I wish it had ended in 16 episodes instead of the 24, I’m really glad that there are 3 episodes left for me to watch. At the end of the day, even though I know I’m going to finish Goong, I know that I’ll most likely never watch it again.

    Ahh, I love this drama. There is so much wrong with it, but there is so much that draws a person to it.

    This drama was sooooo overrated! Horrible acting from Eun Hye and the plot was not even that great!
