YesAsia Editorial Description
The long-awaited spin-off to popular youth drama Palace has finally arrived! Featuring a completely new cast in the same royal setting, Palace S (a.k.a. Prince Hours) marks the acting debut of pop star SE7EN, billed here under his real name Choi Dong Wook. Reimagining modern-day Korea with a fictional monarchy, the first Palace (a.k.a. Princess Hours) was one of the biggest hits of 2006, launching young stars Yoon Eun Hye, Ju Ji Hoon, and Kim Jung Hoon into great fame. While Palace revolves around Yoon Eun Hye's commoner-turned-princess role, Palace S turns the focus to a long-lost prince played by SE7EN, who especially took time out of his busy schedule to participate in the drama. Appearing opposite the young star are rising actresses Park Shin Hye (Trees in Heaven) and Heo Yi Jae (Sunflower) and princely rival Kang Doo of Jadu.
Poor but carefree Lee Hoo (SE7EN) is just a regular joe who delivers take-out for a Chinese restaurant. His life takes a dramatic turn though when he finds out he is actually a member of the royal family. The long-lost prince is brought back to the palace to start a new royal life. But he has trouble adjusting to his newfound identity, not to mention his evolving relationship with longtime friend Soon Ae (Heo Yi Jae) and beautiful blue blood Sae Ryung (Park Shin Hye), whose dream of marrying into the royal family is affected by Lee Hoo's appearance. Adding to his headaches is the determined Lee Joon (Kang Doo), Lee Hoo's rival for the title of Crown Prince.

Product Information
身為獨生女﹐登上皇位的女皇帝雖已年過三十﹐但至今未婚。在無法保証女皇帝有繼承人的情況下﹐如果現在皇帝的弟弟突然離世﹐那麼皇室將面臨沒有繼承人的危機。掌握著皇室實權的保守派們趁此機會顯現出不同尋常的跡象﹐皇室成員們開始秘密尋找皇帝的弟弟。最終他們找到了生活在宮外的李厚。李厚是一個并不知道自己是皇室成員﹐在中華料理店送外賣的青年。從沒做過皇帝夢的李厚卻意外的緊急入宮﹐接受做皇帝弟弟的課程培訓﹐自此宮S的劇情正式展開。同時﹐跟李厚一起競爭的還有深受宗親會推崇的完美繼承候選人李俊﹐他們之間的矛盾與陰謀就這樣開始了。 這是一個關於溝通交流的故事。男人與女人﹑朋友與朋友﹑父母與子女﹑君主與臣下﹑老師與弟子等…這部以大韓民國是一個女王君主立憲制國家為前提﹐結合新生元素而編寫的歷史幻想作品較為有深度的反映了人與人之間溝通交流的重要性﹐以及因這種溝通的缺乏所帶來的后果。本劇試圖通過一個平凡的普通市民出身的主人公在入宮后﹐面對完全與其不同階層的視角﹐尋找他們之間能夠溝通的相通地帶。如果說這個世上不存在所謂的‘完美的平行線’﹐那麼所謂的‘交叉點’總會在某一時刻出現的﹐這也是本劇想要傳達的這種希望的目的所在﹐它既新穎又被我們所熟知。這個故事也是一個珍藏我們所失去的那些純真的童話故事。人們對於人人平等幸福的烏托邦社會的幻想破滅已經是很久以前的事情了。但對於每個人來說﹐都有那時候我真的很幸福的回憶。本劇將21世紀的時間鎖定在19世紀的空間內﹐讓生活在這個時代的人們踏上重新尋找我們所失去的純真的旅程。這個故事將帶我們找回我們所失去的完美標准﹐并找出社會上層人物在道德或慈善上應有的義務。本劇從復位的皇室最初的‘女皇時代’開始﹐指出當今社會所需要的領導力的定義﹐以及處於這個位置上的人們<在道德或慈善上應有的義務>的實質。女皇現已成為一國之主﹐她要考慮要設立的規范﹐同時也要超越自我局限﹐實現真正意義上的模范義務。只能勉強應付眼前的事﹐連自己的家人都照顧不了的這個不諳世事的青年﹐經歷了成長為皇位繼承人的苦痛﹐懂得了在特權的位置上﹐所要肩負的責任不同﹐有時候為了達成某種目的﹐就必須放棄另一些東西的真理。與其說他們是完成型的領導人﹐不如說他們是經過了無數彎路和試驗﹐處於未完成狀態的領導人﹐同時也是我們奔向目標奮進的另一種化身。因此﹐所謂﹙社會上層人物在道德或慈善上應有的義務﹚﹐并不是只局限於特定階層應盡的義務﹐它對於任何人都有效﹐義務是我們應該共同履行的義務﹐所有人都應該記住這一點﹐這也是本劇最終的意圖所在。
Her Royal Highness, the Queen, is still unwed despite being in her early thirties. Since she is an only daughter with no prospect of bearing a child in the foreseeable future, the royal succession is left in uncertainty when the current heir to the throne meets a sudden death. Seizing the opportunity afforded by this crisis, the conservative faction, which presently holds sway at the Court, begins plotting for the crown. Sensing the threat, the Queen secretly searches for a new Crown Prince outside the palace walls and discovers Lee Hu, a young man who has been making his living by delivering Chinese food, in complete ignorance of his royal heritage. Hu, who has never even dreamed of becoming the King, is unexpectedly ushered into the palace and subjected to strict training to become the royal heir. This is where the main action of “Prince Hours” begins. Lee Hu is forced to compete with Lee Jun, the perfect candidate for Crown Prince strongly backed by the extended royal family. The two young men vie for the royal succession as an intricate web of conflicts, plots, and schemes unfolds around them. This is a story about communication.Communication between friends, between men and women, between parents and children, between monarchs and subjects, between teachers and students...Based on the premise that Korea is a constitutional monarchy led by a queen, “Prince Hours” opens a new chapter in fusion fantasy historical drama. It seeks to explore in depth the idea of communication between people, as well as the repercussions of a breakdown in such communication.By introducing a protagonist from a simple, working-class background to palace life, the show endeavors to find common ground for communication that begins at vastly differing eye levels.If there are no “perfectly parallel” lines in the world, all lines must surely meet someday; conveying the hope for this future “intersection” is the new yet familiar objective of “Prince Hours.” This story is a fairy tale preserving our lost innocence.The fantasy of a utopia where all can enjoy equality and happiness has long since been shattered.Still, each of us retains the memory of a time when we were genuinely happy.Depicting the 21st century in a 19th-century-style setting, “Prince Hours” will take contemporary audiences on a journey to rediscovering the innocence we once had. This story uncovers our lost ideal of “noblesse oblige.”The tale, which opens during the reign of Korea’s first queen since the restoration of the monarchy, investigates the definition of leadership demanded by today’s society, and the essence of the “noblesse oblige” imposed on those who reach positions of leadership.As the country’s sovereign, the Queen must now ask herself what kind of example she must set for her people, and practice true leadership that transcends personal gratification.Suffering the growing pains attendant on his rebirth as the Crown Prince, the hapless young man who could barely take care of himself and his family must learn the deeper truth that with great privilege comes great responsibility and that sometimes one must give up one thing to obtain another.Rather than being completed individuals, these characters are leaders-in-progress who must yet undergo numerous mistakes and trials. They are also reflections of ourselves as we strive toward our respective goals.The understanding that noblesse oblige is not an obligation limited to a particular class but one that can be given to anyone, as well as a shared responsibility for all to uphold together—this is the ultimate destination of “Prince Hours.”

It was quite good.
| Palace S isn't as bad as what others think. The 4 leads in Palace S did just as well as Princess Hours. The only setback is they filmed this drama too early and focus is not on the relationship but the politicial issues. They should have waited for another 1/2 year, so that viewers impression of Princess Hours is sort of removed. No matter how well the 4 casts did, Princess Hours fans will not be able to accept this new drama. I was able to enjoy Palace S more than Princess Hours. Se7en did a good job even though he is a newcomer to acting.. |

PALACE faux pas
| The first Princes Hours was succesful because the PRincess was truly charming...this one flunked because its story is weird and has too many loopholes. Not to mention the fact that the protagonist lack the interesting side or charisma of a soon to be prince or heir to the throne. Twist and turns are not what you would expected them to be. I feel too much conundrum was put into the story plot hence, its not exciting as it would have been--if the simplicity of the twist was given more credence to the plot. |

great!
| this drama actually turned out pretty good, i couldn't stop watching it starting from about halfway...have to admit that i didn't think it would be a very good story after the first 2 or 3 episodes...i think the not so good beginning is why the series lost viewers and contributed to the low ratings..but if you continued to follow it, it was really good! i really liked it in the end.. and you can see the acting skills of the 4 characters got much better as it progressed... absolutely luved se7en of course..he's gorgeous! and his gf in the series is very cute too..they are a good match..i would definitely watch it again.. (not juz becoz i'm a se7en fan) =) |
