Palace S, a.k.a. Prince Hoo, is the long-awaited spin-off of last year's hit youth drama Palace, a.k.a. Princess Hours. Featuring a completely new cast in the same royal setting, the drama stars R&B idol SE7EN in his acting debut, alongside Park Shin Hye (Tree in Heaven), Heo Yi Jae (Sunflower), and Kang Doo of Jadu. SE7EN plays Lee Hoo, a long-lost prince who has been living as a humble commoner. Poor but carefree, he is brought back to the palace to start a new royal life along with his longtime friend Soon Ae (Heo Yi Jae). Kang Doo portrays the determined Lee Joon, Lee Hoo's rival for the title of Crown Prince, and Park Shin Hye plays beautiful blue blood Sae Ryung, whose dream of marrying into the royal family is affected by Lee Hoo's appearance. Palace S has been airing on MBC since early January, and the soundtrack is now available for fans. Having sung the popular duet Perhaps Love for Palace, Howl and J both have songs on the Palace S soundtrack as well. Howl's mid-tempo ballad theme Miracle (Track 2), which is similar in style to Perhaps Love, is set to be another big hit, while J provides the catchy R&B track "Unspeakable Words" (Track 3). Top group Dong Bang Shin Ki's Remember (Track 5) can also be found on the track list. In addition to familiar names, the Palace S soundtrack features some promising new acts, like Vanilla Unity, a rock band that released their debut album in 2006. They bring two refreshing new songs, "With You" (Track 6) and "Like, Like"(Track 9), to the drama. Also of note is "Hoping for Love" (Track 8) from Sorea, a band that uses traditional Korean instruments to create modern music, making the track especially appropriate for Palace S. |
