Great Expectations Connections & picture

Although tight now I can't really think of any novels or movies that I've watched is similar to Great Expectations, I think that Goong is rather similar. There's a lot of dramas that I've watched and loved that carried a little of each of the motifs and themes that  is in Great Expectations. But I'll say probably the feelings of hurt was one of the things that appeared to me in this Korean drama called Goong. That's because Crown Prince Lee Shin, one of the main characters is in love with someone else other than his fiancee that both Chae Kyung and his grandfather decided. Although he loves Hyo Rin, Lee Shin stills feels guilty that he should love Chae Kyung.

   Whereas Chae Kyung has to suffer the pain that is caused by Lee Shin when she slowly falls in love with Lee Shin. In Pip's case, he loves Estella but the coldness that is shown to Pip whenever he meets Estella is similar to the case of Lee Shin and Chae Kyung. But the extreme of those feelings of hurt wasn't as far as in Goong, because during some of the moments when Chae Kyung is hurt, my chest would clench up like something has pricked it. On the other hand, when I think about Pip and Estella's feelings that are involved, they don't seem to hurt each other as much but there is still a feeling of hurt that is expressed through.

   Also, it feels like both the characters in Great Expectations and Goong is going through a roller coster of emotions. The two couples would experience the ups and downs on their realtionships. It's just that Pip and Estella's relationship hasn't reached to the point where they are with each other everyday and tied by something like Lee Shin and Chae Kyung.
