YesAsia Editorial Description

Based on a popular comic book series, MBC's hit drama Palace fancifully re-imagines present-day Korea as a constitutional monarchy with a royal family. A beautiful palace, sitting in the heart of modern-day Seoul, becomes the home to a group of young royals pulled into the political rivalries, comical hijinks, and romantic entanglements of palace life. Sparks will fly when youth romance meets palace politics in this colorful romantic comedy!

Palace, a.k.a. Princess Hours, was hailed as "the future of Korea's TV drama industry" by Variety magazine. The innovative premise, vivid cinematography, elaborate sets and costume designs, and fresh young cast charmed the audience, pulling in ratings of nearly 30 percent during its broadcast in Korea. Starring breakout stars Ju Ji Hoon, Yoon Eun Hye of Baby V.O.X., and Kim Jung Hoon of UN, Palace was so popular the series was extended to 24 episodes from its original 20. In addition, a sequel is already in the works.

Shin (Ju Ji Hoon) may be the picture-perfect Crown Prince, but he is aloof and wary of his royal status. Commoner Chae Gyung (Yoon Eun Hye) is headstrong and outspoken, but fiercely loyal to her loved ones. Their worlds unexpectedly collide when an arranged marriage makes them husband and wife! It's not exactly "happily ever after" for this royal odd couple as they try to make sense of their relationship. Chae Gyung has trouble adjusting to palace life and Shin is still pining for his girlfriend Hyo Rin (Song Ji Hyo). Life gets even more complicated when Prince Yool (Kim Jung Hoon) returns to the Palace to compete for both Chae Gyung's affection and the throne.

Palace now comes with English-subtitled bonus featurettes including cast interviews, blooper reel, and more behind the scenes extras.

    주어진 운명 앞에서 파락호의 삶을 꾸려가던 한 남자, 그가 바로 대한민국의 대통을 이을 황태자다. 글가 더 큰 시련을 만나고, 더 큰 사랑을 만나면서 스스로 권위를 발하는 황제로 성장해가는 이야기다. 전통과 관습에 치를 떨던 남자는 그 굴레에서 벗어나기 위한 유일한 방법으로 정략결혼을 선택한다. 손톤만큼의 기대치도 없던 그 결혼에서 남자는 채경이라는 한 여자를 만나면서 옷 속을 파고드는 빗물같은 변화를 겪게 된다.

    뼈아픈 자기성찰로 이루어진 이 변화를 통해 반항아인 줄만 알았던 소년과 철부지 소녀는 황실의 어른들이 이루어내지 못했던 황실의 개혁과 변화를 이루어 낸다.

    Amazingly heartfelt Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
    There is something about this particular drama that grabs my heart when I watch it. I'm not sure if it's because I feel for Yoon Eun Hye's character Chae Kyung for being in love, or the for the Prince's caution in loving Chae Kyung, or if it's for the sadness that I feel for Yool when he cannot have the one he loves. There is something so profound in every character that wants me watch more and more of the drama. It took me a total of 3 days to watch this drama.... for me that's a short time but I was so obessesed. I wish that everyone would watch this. It's one of the best dramas out there that I've seen.

     Palace / Princess Hours review Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
    Palace is a drama that I've watched and will watch over and over again. I'm not a big fan of dramas with more than 12 or 16 episodes, but the storyline between the two main characters held out through 24 episodes. Yoon Eun-Hye does a great job with her character. It's believable and lovable even. Joo Ji-Hoon's character was intense, but he's able to pull at your heartstrings and draw out your empathy. The make-believe world of Palace is similar to that of the real world. The drama is entertaining and will keep you glued to the TV from beginning to end.

    Palace 1.5?? Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
    Oh nooo! I was about to get this set and it says Out of Print! Does the Standard Edition have Palace 1.5 as well? I really want that video as well. Is the Limited Edition not going to be on sale at all in the future? Is the packaging of the Standard Edition lower in quality than the Limited? Sorry for asking too many questions. I'm just very upset because I was really about to get it and I find out it's no longer available. *cries*

    This can't be happeninggg.

    the only difference between the standard and limited edition is the packaging of the dvd box set. the special features and content of the dvd are the same.
