Princess Hours Synopsis

PRINCESS HOURS STORY

Princess hours is Kdrama which tells about the story of an ordinary girl who eventually become just like a Cinderella story. She is Princess Shin Chae-kyeong, starred by Yoon Eun Hye. Beforehand, she was just an ordinary high school girl. She was a cheerful girl and a bit naughty but she is nice. At her school there is a modern prince (I say like that because actually the kingdom in this story is only a symbol of a history and not the holder of power. In this story, Korea is led by a president). The Prince is very handsome and has become an idol for every girl and his name is Lee Shin, starred by Joo Ji Hoon.

This Cinderella story begins when Chae Kyeong’s grandfather and Lee Shin's grandfather's (the late the King before Lee Shin's father) made an agreement, they promised each other to match their grandchildren. Both grandfathers promised to wed their grandchildren that are Lee Shin and Chae Kyeong when they has grown up.

Lee Shin actually already has a girlfriend Min Hyo-Rin. She is also studies at the same school with him and Chae kyeong. They have been dating for a long time but when Lee Shin ask Hyo Rin to get married, she refused. And Lee Shin's proposal which is rejected by accident heard also by Chae kyeong.

Lee Shin has a cousin who is also handsome and clever, he is Lee Yul. Later, Lee Yul will be a rival of Lee Shin since he is falling in love with Chae kyeong. So the story is just like a rectangular love.

Chae Kyeong and Lee Shin eventually get married even though without having love feeling. And as the wife of crown prince, chae kyeong required to live in the palace and learn everything about royal etiquette. But gradually Chae Kyeong falls in love with Lee Shin and Lee Shin unwittingly also have the same feelings.

There will an interesting storyline between Lee Shin and Chae Kyeong. You can find comedy, sad and romantic scene which may make you laugh, cry and flutter your heart. How hard Lee Shin express his feelings to Chae Kyeong and how Chae kyeong fights to get Lee Shin heart and to be recognized as a princess.

The story is very interesting which packaged in 24 episodes. I am sure you will not be bored. I recommend this Kdrama because ultimately Lee Shin and Chae kyeong live happily together and Happy Ending. As I said before, I like the happy ending story.

Watu Dodol Beach Banyuwangi

Watu Dodol
The Beautiful Beach in Banyuwangi

When you are on traveling to Bali or Lombok by bus or private car, you shouldn’t miss to visit Watu Dodol Beach. This beach is located on the north side of Banyuwangi before Ketapang Port. So, if you wanna reach this beach, you should take north lane (Jalur Pantura). There is a very big stone between the beach and the road.

Why do Banyuwangi people called it “Watu Dodol” ? my father told me the story, but I think it’s just a tale. This is the story from my father: Reputedly, this big stone came from the vendible of Kyai Semar that fallen down in that place. Semar is one of character in Javanese Puppet Show. While the rice spilled out and became the sands around Watu Dodol beach. People say, Semar tool was moringa wood, thrown and pierced in the sidelines of the big stone which called Watu Dodol.

But this is really strange because there is a Moringa tree grown up fertilely in the sideline of that big stone. As I know, for Banyuwangi people moringa is a weapon to cure and relieve from mystical influence like black magic that may attack. By using moringa, Banyuwangi people believe, it will disappear and fade.

Watu Dodol is very beautiful, you can see Bali Island, from the beach. There is fresh water which lays near the beach just like a little river. This water is not salty even though the tight come and the water mix with the sea water (which is salty), no salty taste in this water. You should prove it yourself by visiting Watu Dodol.

Here is Watu Dodol beach where I usually visit in my holiday when I’m back to my lovely hometown Banyuwangi …
