Princess Hours

I absolutely love this K-drama and I have watched it countless times. I just finished rewatching it, yet I already feel like watching it again. The actors and actresses have incredible chemistry, and their performances are truly unforgettable. Although it was released a long time ago, I still wish the main actors and actress could reunite in another drama. Their pairing is extraordinary, and I can't help but adore them both. Watching this again reminded me of the thrill and excitement of romance that recent K-dramas haven't quite captured. It might sound exaggerated, but I genuinely love them.

After I've watched Boys over flowers and completely hated it, I was thinking of not even picking up Princess' Hours. Especially since it was twenty four episodes long! But, this drama proved me wrong. It is one of the few times that I couldn't stop watching a drama. The story is catchy and the couple has extremely chemistry, which aids the drama tremendously. Now, there were some trops of that period that the drama followed, like the annoying parents (who were better than others though), the mean mother in law, the love triangle with the second lead being an angel and so making it difficult to not root for him. Plus, some twists were idiotic. But the execution was good and the pace really well managed. So, eight out of ten.

I have heard a lot about this drama. Hence, I wanted to watch this one. Considering the fact that it's a really old drmaa. I have rated this. If you want to watch a Cinderella story. It's for you. The only difference is there is love square for you here. The prince is in love with his x and the princess is loved by the cousin in law. Flaws of this drama is that it drags a lot. Very slow. Thankfully, I was bored. So I just fast forwarded the scenes and could bear though it. Unlike others, I didn't like the traditional costumes. And the traditional names were a pain. I didn't like the palace as well. But despite it all the drama was able to engross me in. That's why I gave it 8 stars. For a few hours I was able to go into a princess story and for some reason I didn't put it down. There was no real villian in this story. Everyone was just trying to get what they want to overcome their pain. I would say if you have a lot of time to waste and want to watch a fairytale go for this. On a personal note. I preferred Yu Gul over the male lead. I felt he was more genuine and did everything he could for her. I have no hatred for the male lead though. After some time you get used to him. So yeah. It's not for everyone. Particularly after such a long time. But if you have time to kill and want a fairytale to look forward to this one is for you.

There are a lot of potential fans out there considering how many people obsess over the British Royal family -- and over how many young (and old) women dream about marrying into one. This TV series will have special resonance since it's about a gawky commoner who does exactly that.

At least that commoner is played by the delightful Yun Eun Hye who brings the character to life in an uninhibited way. Even when she's over-acting, she seems entirely natural. But if you want to see her at her best, check out the much better romantic comedy/drama COFFEE PRINCE (aka, 1ST SHOP OF COFFEE PRINCE).

This one flows along nicely enuf. Unlike American series which are intended to go on forever, this had a definite time limit, so it had a definite arc. Still, maybe the plot would have worked better at less than 24 episodes. But you may find an actor or character you like and latch on happily for the duration.

Unlike American series, this is bright and colorful (almost gaudy at times). There are better Korean shows out there for grownups -- unless you're a grownup obsessed with royalty -- then this may be your ideal show.

The story setting is the romance between the prince of korea and an ordinary girl schoolmate. Like Fated to love, romance grows after their marriage. It is always fascinating too to watch life within the palace, like in King2heart.

The plot is well-written. Their love grows so naturally as they face difficulties together.

The most funny and memorable scene is when they first stay together in a room for a night. Serving maids waiting outside the room to check if they actually sleep together. But actually nothing happens between them. It is so funny to see how the male lead has to suppress his sexual needs.

Female lead is cute and pretty. Her character in the story is so optismistic and lovely. She refreshes the life of the royal family. Male lead is always stern looking. . But this suits his role as a cool prince.

A drama that survives through time. Still regards as a classical love story after more than 10 years.
