So after years of talks and planning, the K-drama remake of Goong (Princess Hours) is happening this year. Not sure if it will air this year but the filming is by all accounts definitely happening. The original is still beloved and for many just a wonderful fond memory of falling in love with K-dramas through Goong or one of its same era dramas. It’s also been over 15 years so I can accept a remake but it will hinge strongly on the casting of the leads most importantly female lead Chae Kyung with all her plucky cuteness that catapulted Yoon Eun Hye to superstardom. K-netizens have been discussing the casting and the top 3 actresses most commonly mentioned as the perfect modern day Chae Kyung are, in no particular order, Shin Ye Eun, Roh Jeong Eui, and Go Yoon Jung. I bow down to K-netz because any of the three would be great IMO. The only other right age right aura actress I can see in the role is Kim Yoo Jung but she’s so famous she may bring baggage and expectation to the role rather than a fresh take.
