Unlike the Shakespearean leads, Prince Wang So and Princess Shin

Shakespeare’s Juliet may be a frail damsel in distress, but Shin Yool is

days to avoid an arranged marriage – even if she has to kidnap one.
They’re actually married, and for much more than a day
Shin Yool and Wang So’s marriage may have been a ploy, but both
continued to love each other for far longer than Romeo and Juliet did.
