Hmm. Hopefully the manga stays interesting once it gets to the palace stuff, because I could see how that would be a problem if nothing really happens once she gets there. So far I like the cousin (at least a lot better than the prince, who is still a huge jerk), but it sounds like his mother might be… problematic, she’s entering the story as of the end of volume two. I’ve got high hopes, though, the first two volumes were so good.

Well, the beginning is basically the same and very interesting as well. But from the moment Chae-kyung got into the palace, it started to incredibly drag, hell it has 24 1-hour long episoded. Not to mention that I found prince’s cousin and his mother totally annoying and I couldn’t stand them.. ;-) But it will be different in manga, hopefully..

Haha, I think I skipped over Very, Very Sweet because the title made me think of Sweety, a really terrible series that Infinity Studios publishes. Reading through your reviews of it though, it does sound pretty cute. Maybe I’ll give it a try. Mostly I was thinking of Zombie-Loan and the series I’d sampled in Yen Plus.

Goong is really great, though. I’m curious to see what you say about it.

Yeah, I was just reading about the drama, it looks like it got officially distributed in English, which is really weird. What does the drama do differently?

I agree. I read the whole book in a very short time and immediately wanted to read more. Needless to say, the manhwa is much better than the TV drama Goong that I found extremely boring.

Heh. I have been planning all week to start reading Goong this week, since I’ve got a review copy of vol. 4 to do for Manga Recon. :)

I think most of what I’ve read from Yen Press has been Ice Kunion rescues (Moon Boy, Hissing), but I’m also fairly fond of Very! Very! Sweet, which doesn’t fall into that category.
