‘Princess Hours’ remake reportedly in the works

The hit K-drama “Goong” or “Princess Hours” is reportedly set to have a remake!

According to Soompi, Jae Dam Media, which handles the “Goong” comics, has signed a contract with Group 8, the company in charge of the 2006 TV adaptation, for the project.

“It’s important to continue creating new projects, but we also think that it is important from an intellectual property standpoint to actively breathe new life into good projects that already exist,” said Hwang Nam-yong, Jae Dam Media chief executive officer.

“‘Goong’ will become an important case in this,” he added.

“Princess Hours” follows the story of a crown prince who marries a commoner due to their grandparents’ agreement.

It starred Yoon Eun-hye, Ju Ji-hoon, Kim Jeong-hoon and Song Ji-hyo.

The drama series contributed to the Hallyu wave within and outside South Korea as its average viewership ratings reached 27% at the time, according to an AllKpop report.

The premiere of the new adaptation is yet to be announced. – Franchesca Viernes/RC, GMA News
