Reviews

Prince Hours, also known as 'Goong S,' has polarized critics and audiences alike since its release in 2007. Some reviewers have praised the series for its lush visuals and imaginative premise. According to IMDb, user reviews highlight the performance of Huh Yi-jae, noting his ability to convey the transition from a commoner to royalty with genuine charisma. The series holds a rating of 6.2/10 on IMDb, reflecting mixed reactions. One IMDb user said, 'The show has its charm and presents a fun alternate history, but it sometimes feels slow and loses focus.' On the other hand, some critics argue the series does not quite live up to the original “Princess Hours” (Goong), citing weaker character development and plot pacing issues. As one review mentioned, 'While the production values and set designs are commendable, the series falls short in sustaining the emotional pull that made its predecessor a hit.' Overall, 'Prince Hours' holds a modest but respectable place in the pantheon of K-drama, loved by some for its unique setting and visuals, yet critiqued by others for its execution and storytelling.
