Princess Hours

Yes, the 2006 South Korean drama *Princess Hours* is available for streaming on Netflix in many regions, including the United States. The platform added the series as part of its ongoing effort to expand its catalog of classic K-dramas. It can also be found on other official streaming platforms like Viki depending on your location.

The hit series stars Yoon Eun-hye in her acting debut as the protagonist, Shin Chae-kyung, alongside Ju Ji-hoon as the aloof Crown Prince Lee Shin. The main love triangle is completed by Kim Jeong-hoon, who plays Prince Lee Yul. This breakout role instantly launched both Yoon and Ju into massive stardom across Asia.

Despite the massive success of the original 2006 series, a second season featuring the original cast was never produced. Group Eight, the production company, eventually moved on to other projects, and the cast became too expensive and busy to reunite. Although a spin-off called *Goong S* was created in 2007 with a completely new cast, it failed to capture the success of the original.

The series is a direct adaptation of the popular South Korean manhwa (comic) *Goong*, created by Park So-hee. The manhwa imagines an alternate universe where modern-day South Korea is still governed by a constitutional monarchy. The show closely follows the early volumes of the comic's plot regarding an arranged teenage royal marriage.
