Chae-kyeong, therefore, has no choice but to marry the prince due to her family’s financial crisis. But things aren’t easy, right from the first encounter with the Royal Family. Moreover, seeing that the prince has no affection for her whatsoever, showing careless cynical behavior throughout the wedding process, Chae-kyeong comes to regret accepting the proposal. But it’s too late; the Royal Marriage is the top news in the press, and Chae-kyeong’s house is crowded with reporters.
Yool, the son of Prince Hyo-yul who died in an unfortunate car crash 14 years ago, hurries back to Korea under the urgent order of his mother – princess Hye-jung, eager to the win back her husband’s throne. In the airport, he runs into Hyo-rin, who has just returned from her contest but they don’t recognize each other.
Yool has been studying fine art in England, and transfers to a high school for arts, where Shin and Chae-kyeong are also students. Unlike Shin, who tries to be friends with Yool, his mother, the Empress, feels a shade of anxiety upon Yool’s reappearance…

At last, Chae-kyeong has made up her mind to join the Royal Family.
Lessons for becoming a proper Crown Princess start as she enters the palace. She has to endure hard training, which includes learning proper ways to talk, memorizing the whole wedding process, etc., with the Prince showing no interest nor offering any help to her. Life in the palace is not an easy task from day one.
A huge ceremony is held to welcome the new Crown Princess, and with the entire country as witness, Shin and Chae- kyeong are wed in the traditional 21st century Royal procedure. Meanwhile, Hyo-rin, who had previously rejected Shin’s proposal, stands at a ballet stage in Thailand…

TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE A FAN FICTION
credited SPC members(spcnet.tv)
Don't:
- Repeat the usual plot
- Be too predictable
- use "net-isms" or street language (unless it is vital to the plot in some way). Fun as it may seem, it is incredibly difficult to read and you won't get many readers.- repeat the same words too many times. If you are stuck for vocabulary, then invest in a thesaurus.- make your paragraphs too long. It sends people to sleep!
- Write in script form too much.
- Make sure you check your grammar and spelling and tne proper use of vocabularies. Don't just take a dictionary and pick out a word, which may have the same meaning but does not apply to the situation. Hope that make sense.
DO's
- make sure that you are clear about the time period, whether it is ancient, Shanghai, or modern.
- If you are writing in ancient time then try not to use modern words such as Ok or any slang language, instead try to go for a more formal tone. But the most important thing about fanfic to me is characterization. Make your characters human and flawed, don't try to make them into some perfect beings, which would make the story seems bland and dry. And make your characters consistent. They should act in a way that make sense to the personalities that you have created for them.
- Also make sure to research on whatever it is that you are writing about, especially if you are writing in modern time. If your character is a doctor, then make sure that you know precisely what kind of doctor and what do they do in professional terms. If not, then try to avoid the time when your characters are working.
- set the scene... for a reader, it is nice to have some description of the atmosphere and the surroundings. Like I said on another post, think of it as a camera sweep that you see when you are watching films/TV. Also helps to indicate the time period and other details: I remember reading one and a half chapters of what I thought was a modern fanfic and then realising it was set in ancient times!!
- spell and grammar check your work. There is nothing more off-putting than an obvious spelling mistake in the middle of a sentence or a grammatical error which confuses the plot completely.- introduce enough characters, but not too many!!
- check your work before publishing! Speed typing with your fingers working faster than your brain can cause inadvertant typos and errors.
- Give some twist
- Make unique characters

MBC drama 'Palace' may set a new record among drama exports Date | 2006-03-03
'Palace' (written by In, Eun-A, and directed by Hwang, In-roe), a popular MBC drama broadcast every Wednesday and Thursday, is just an inch away from setting a new record of attracting 30% of the total number of viewers. It is also making good progress among international viewers.
The drama's producer has currently made a contract with distributors in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and is also working on deals with local distributors in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, a report said.
In addition, it is in discussion with Japan, the biggest drama-export market, for a possible sale, which makes 'Palace' a drama that continues the tradition of success started by Korean Syndrome dramas, such as 'Winter Sonata' and 'A Jewel In The Palace'.
"The amount of income from these confirmed contracts on exporting 'Palace' reaches up to 2 million dollars (about 1.94 billion Korean won), and after making a contract with Japan, the total amount of income from export will be 5 million dollars (about 4.85 billion Korean won)," MBC said.
Considering that the drama has not been finished yet, this is such a rapid success. Furthermore, the price tag for each episode is said to have surpassed the record of previous dramas.
"While it does not have Korean Syndrome stars in its cast, the drama 'Palace' is very popular in foreign countries for its fresh and unique subjects and extravagant and elegant visuals. It is expected to become a new killer content to pump more energy to Korean Syndrome," Park, Jae-Bok, assistant director of MBC Global Business Headquarters, said.
