The story itself was good, everything else fell flat
With many laugh-out-loud and crazy moments, this series can only be viewed as a parody cos anything else will freeze your brain cells. So although I laughed at the beginning, it slowly got boring and the love story bordered on saccharine.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

THE ORIGINAL AND BEST ONE
Don't watch the foolish Korean adaptation. This original one is far better.Unfortuntaley, a drama that suffers from the low budget (with one and only sponsor), but a masterpiece as a plot and as costumes. The story is captivating, a perfect mix of comedy and serious topics, romantic moments. This drama is a perfect example of LGBT content as a whole. We find various situations, bisexuality among others.
I loved the development, entering the heart of the love story, enters a darker and more difficult situation of power intrigue and struggle than in the first half of the story.
Sheng Yilun as Qi Sheng is absolutely wonderful ❤️ as cold, as charismatic and charming, and the delicate little gestures and sentences can pierce your heart. Zhang Tiana is perfect as Zhang Pengpeng, beautiful, determined, with a dominant and mature character, who also knows how to handle women. Her femininity does not diminish the strong, dominant character of the "man's heart".
The Princes have their own reasons, even Prince Zhao who basically has a very pure heart. Yue the classic "green tea" perfect in the role.
Two things I loved are the importance of sexuality in the story, in the relationships, and above all the crystal clear development in Qi Sheng's feelings. He perfectly knows the woman he fell in love with.
I loved how after towards the end, from episode 27 she can accept herself as a woman, and that from the next episode the male internal voice disappears ❤️ I also loved Pengpeng's love speech , that the love puts on the same level.
In addition to the happy ending, there are two other alternative endings with different perspectives always adult and mature, on the serious line of the drama. The spinoff is cute.
Watch this only, because it's a masterpiece despite everything.

Laughed a lot
Despite it being a low budget drama, it made me laughed a lot. Thank you for doing such a great job FL. You carried the show. Of course others did their best too especially the scriptwriter. Without the script writer, this whole thing is just trash. I didnt expect myself to be enjoying this show because of the weird costume and setting mood (too much neon colors) plus I am not really into this type of dramas. I prefer those scheming and deep ones so if I enjoyed this, it means they have done a great job.Rewatching rate was low cause Im not really into rewatching and as stated, I prefer other dramas than this.

Hilarious, Sarcastic, Silly
I have to confess, I binged this after seeing 1st 2 episodes of Mr. Queen and was impatiently waiting for more episodes to be aired. Frankly, it was just a patch to handle my cravings. I needed a fix! Don't judge :pSome things to be kept in mind:
THIS IS NOTHING LIKE MR.QUEEN. Don't expect even a quarter of its standard, grace, humour or story.
This drama is a spoof of Korean historical dramas, Chinese historical dramas and/or Korean dramas. So be prepared for silliness/exaggerations that will come in the territory of caricatures/parodies.
This was made on a small budget. How do I know this? Their set is cheap, their costumes are a running joke of it's own kind, and the production makes it obvious-- they keep talking about their sponsor, a Chinese Viagra pill company (IT'S HILARIOUS).
Despite all this, there's some charm in the drama. And a lot of anachronism.
Here's the deal: it's based on a novel. The protagonist is a womanizer who falls into a pool during a party when his multiple girlfriends ambush him. He is injured and falls into a coma while his soul travels back in time into the body of a princess who also drowned. The story is about how he learns to live as a she-- as a queen, wife, mother and herself. The FL has done a decent job acting. The ML is just stoic and statue-like (a handsome statue, so no complaints). There's a lot of misunderstandings, unhealthy relationships and drama. It is charming nonetheless because you sort of get invested in the story.
Side note: Since it deals with fluid sexuality, the Chinese government banned the original ending. So there are 3 or 4 endings.
Endings: the 2 that I saw were sad, sad endings. I couldn't find the happy(ier) ending and had to read it somewhere.
The OSTs are a joke. Half the drama is a joke. There will be a lot of facepalm moments. There are some unsavory and repulsive potty humour. It is silly. You'll feel silly. But all that is a part of the charm. The FL often breaks the 4th window to speak to the viewer. The drama draws you in and gets you invested in the story. Hence, you'll get pissed about the sad endings. So heads up, go in prepared!
I repeat, THIS IS NOTHING LIKE MR.QUEEN.

What worked? There are some fun bits with the gender reversal and a slow-burn hate-to-love romance that I’m always a sucker for.
What didn’t work? The humor was extremely broad (fart jokes, vomiting) which is not my favorite kind of comedy. Also, some of the male-gaze scenes way too broad as well. This is a comedy and fairly low-brow so it’s not like the characters are well-developed or there’s a a great plot.

Um "pastelão" Chinês
O C-drama Go Princess Go começa em um ritmo bem veloz e até o episódio 12 parece que todos estão ansiosos. Cheguei a imaginar que durante as gravações eles deveriam estar correndo de um local para outro, fazendo tudo ao mesmo tempo, por que está foi a sensação que tive assistindo, é como se estivesse tentando se encontrar e seguir um ritmo. Até passar do episódio 12, chega a ser uma tortura, parei e pensei até em não continuar, pois existiam cenas de humilhação e violência contra mulher, que me deixam irritada, especialmente quando vem com essa história de "romantizar", irrita-me profundamente, e nem me venham com essa história de diferença cultural, brutalidade é brutalidade e violência é violência, aqui, na China ou em qualquer parte do mundo.A produção é pobre, isto não tem como negar, os cenários e figurinos entregam tudo, é possivel em algumas cenas ver o cabo de aço que suspende atores e a edição assusta com cortes abruptos e extensos, a publicidade de um medicamento estimulante sexual masculino introduzida de forma aleatória no drama, por vezes torna algumas cenas forçadas e estranhas, mas depois de um tempo, você passa a entender com parte cômica do drama e consegue sorrir com isso.
Em alguns momentos cheguei a me questionar como o drama tinha passado no comitê de avaliação para censura na China e conseguir ser lançado daquela forma, pois existem cenas explícitas de temas considerado impróprio pela censura chinesa e que existem no drama. Tudo bem que é um drama de 2015 e eu assisti 8 anos depois, porém mesmo assim achei estranho para agora e teria achado estranho na época também.
Das atuações gostei muito da Crystal, não que as outras não mereçam destaque, todas são boas, mas a dela, até porque é a personagem principal, mereceu ser mencionada, gostei da OST, na realidade vale mencionar que a produção sonora é boa, trazendo elementos importantes para entendimento e significado mas profundo em cenas, fazendo parte da história.
Vale esclarecer, que embora o drama diga ter 35 episódios, ele apresenta um outro episódio com final alternativo. Eu tive a oportunidade de assistir aos dois episódios finais, então para mim o drama acabou tendo 36 episódios, que valeram muito assistir, Go Princess Go foi o segundo drama que assisti, que tinham dois finais e eu com essa minha mente fértil, já construí uma teoria absurda mas possível, uma fanfic com a continuação e tudo ficou certo para mim. Assim, assisti ao 36 episódios do drama, sorri muito e chorei quase nada, eu não tinha muitas expetativas sobre o drama, que no geral foi bom, não me arrependi de ter assistido.

"Go Princess, Go!" Genuinely Surprised Me... in a Good Way.
With the constant recommendations continuously being thrown in my face, I am genuinely surprised that I had never heard of this drama before. Everything that was done to create the show was superb... even from the choices of the main leads down to the supporting cast was brilliant.the BEST of it all though... finding out that SHENG sang a few songs for the show!!! [insert squeal of giddiness] There aren't many drama shows that I come across to where I always end up skipping the intro and the ending of an episode... but with this show, I don't skip at all. I love listening to those two songs.
And the cameo later on in another show?!? Whuuuuttt!!
LOVE IT!!

Crazy show that’s fun to watch!
I really enjoyed watching this drama. It doesn’t take itself seriously and has lots of funny elements from modern day being ‘transported’ into a past / olden day setting.Watch because:
- cast is good-looking
- storyline is kind of mad but everything falls into place and is actually, explained
- story moves fast enough
- story is suspenseful and makes you want to watch one episode after another
- the male and female lead have great chemistry
- the female lead is so crazy in the show that she’s lovable!
- enjoyable and hilarious mix of what’s supposed to be ancient times and modern day
- sexy innuendos abound
I highly recommend this show when you want something frivolous and yet, makes sense overall. This show is a fun, crazy, sexy ride.

Fun drama
The one thing I noticed it that everyone is saying that the story and the Korean remake are based on a web novel, the plot and a few of the scenes in the C-drama are very similar to an old American movie called Switch.This was my first C-drama and because of all the censorship, it was really hard to find online and subbed, still the premise was fun and the scenery very lush. The low budget was obvious but didn't take away from anything.
I will say that the ending was something of a twist, but a surprisingly fitting one

Series that aims to be humorous, but... what is the message?
Pure entertainment TT seriesPLOT: 1 contemporary playboy who drowns, is sent into the body of a Crown Princess, married to 1 Crown Prince who doesn't love her.
+++ Very good actors (I'm a fan of Peter Sheng, always so handsome... but what is he doing in this kind of drama???)
+++ lots of humor
### You need to let your brain at the door, because there are a lot of anachronisms, inconsistencies, nonsense: no protocols, costumes/hairstyles out of time, huge coincidences, etc. This is explained by the final twist, but that does not make the story credible.
### Visibly low-budget production (sponsored by a Viagra brand :)
=> Series that leaves me perplexed?(･_･;?
*********************************************
Série TT pur divertissement
PLOT: 1 playboy contemporain qui se noie, est envoyé dans le corps d'une Crown Princess, mariée à 1 Crown Prince qui ne l'aime pas.
+++ Très bons acteurs (je suis fan de Peter Sheng, toujours aussi beau ... mais que fait-il dans ce genre de drama ???)
+++ beaucoup d'humour
### You need to let your brain at the door, car il y a beaucoup d'anachronismes, d'incohérences, de non-sens : pas de protocoles, costumes / coiffures hors du temps, coïncidences énormes, etc. Cela s'explique grâce au twist final, mais cela ne rend pas le déroulement crédible.
### Production visiblement low-budget (sponsorisée par une marque de Viagra :)
=> Série qui me laisse perplexe ?(･_･;?

Hilarious
I loved the story of Go Princess Go, it just has all the interesting elements for a time travel story with an unexpected twist. It is just hilarious, funny, cute moments, romance, nice music, short episodes, and not too long of a series. This is what I call a match made in heaven for one of my favourite series now. The only thing I am going to say that bugged me is the endings of the story, I am not a big fan of optional endings, a bit puzzling for a comedy. On that note I am going to imagine the ending I want for this story.I will definitely rewatch this series again, I really enjoyed watching it.

The girl who play Zhang Peng Peng must be appreciated well because she brought the drama to another level. Her partner, the male lead was a bit stiff. But, since her acting in the drama was very good, the weakness of male lead wasn't shown.
For the music, it's quiet good but i prefer not to listen to it. I almost forgot to include a very important point in this drama. The ending. I prefer to watch a drama with a single ending. But, this drama has two different ending. Even two different ending give me alternatives to choose the ending that i like, it also shows how the drama doesn't really have a good and solid ending since it can't really emphasized on everything that has been happened within the drama
If you're looking for a funny drama, it's your cup of tea. But if you're looking for a well made drama, you may think twice to give it a shot
