My Sassy Princess (2022)

Light fluffy rom-com with outstanding chemistry!

I have seen the actress before (Love and Redemption) but didn't love her character, and maybe her acting pissed me off too. However, she's grown and become much better, and was more endearing and more convincing in this!!

The male lead was TO DIE FOR, the little smile he cracks makes my stomach have butterflies!

The kiss scenes and her inappropriate skinship is what kept me going, their romance was so good. And what I loved more was though there were obstacles they didn't drag out for too long and get cliched/tropey.

If you want a light, easy watch, without too much crazy intense drama, this is it. It was exactly what I needed with my brain being so dead and just wanting something that would make my heart race and flutter.

The second leads were ok, but wasn't too invested in this story or the political story - but both didn't overtake too much time or the main romance which I was there for! I did like the little servant girl and the ML's right hand man's little romance, so cute!

I didn't give it higher rating only because I acknowledge that besides the romance, the rest was a bit so so, to the point where I skipped and didn't feel I missed out on much

The OST is so so goooddddd.

Sigh. The most basic, draggy, idiotic story. Thank god it was only 22 episodes which I still ended up watching at 2x speed cos it gave nothing. The sassy FL was cringe that even the pretty ML couldn't appease the irritation I felt at the story.

Nice romantic drama

Nice romantic drama with an uncomplicated plot with nice acting of the main leads and a happy ending. What more to add.
I love the acting creations of Zheng Ye Cheng, who has a great presence, but also skillfully shows emotions.
He's cute in the romantic scenes. Lead actress Yuan Bing Yan also did very well, and the two of ZYC had great chemistry.
What can I say, crystal yuan and zheng ye cheng have good chemistry and they both portray each other's characters very well... congrats to them.....The other actors did well too....

Its enjoyable drama for me... bring all the emotion .. sad.. happy...funny... romantic
All in all, a very entertaining piece. Looking forward to the actors future dramas!

High Chemistry Couple are amazing and charming!!!

I was watching two dramas at the same time My sassy princess and WRTW till episode 3 . I dropped the other one and went on to watch My Sassy Princess till the end. Here are some reasons.

1. The stunts and martial arts are excellent though it doest show any effects like the WRTW. It still very pleasing in my eyes and Im entertained.

2. The FL is fun to watch and is very charming! 100% . Her smile and her eyes! Really seem natural so Im drawn by it. It touched my heart.

3. The ML is very good looking and his eyes really are very expressive. Both couples charisma and chemistry are high. compared too that of WRTW couple i feel that they are good as siblings no special feelings.
The ML has an excellent martial arts moves too.

4. The story was never dragging. it is on point and not complicated at all.

5. Even this drama production is not costly as the other dramas. It managed to entertain or provide quality and heartfelt story.
I felt the drama much more than my eyes can see.

Lighthearted and sweet

This was a nice watch, nothing to heavy but completely sweet and cute, I will say this though I feel that the last 3 episodes feel really rushed. It was not too bad but still felt rushed.
The acting was really done well with the leads of this show, even the sides, the interactions were so cute and funny. I have not laughed this hard in a while, and I am glad that I waited for the show to be done to watch it all in one go. Honestly if I had to wait I would go crazy. All in all it was a great watch just to relax too, as long as you aren't looking for something that is to deep and serious.

Primae noctis with the wrong guy was narrowly avoided.

Before I start complaining, I want to acknowledge that overall it's a nice drama that can be enjoyed without much frustration. Here goes:

The ML-FL relationship was volatile. She loved ML, but later she wasn't sure. He, on the other hand, loved her after a start-up period and then wholeheartedly. FL didn't want to take it that far. She rejected marriage with ML. For her part, the relationship was intended to be superficial and temporary. The loud lovey-dovey on the part of FL was therefore for the cat, the upright ML, who does not love easily, one could feel sorry for. One could have shouted at him: leave the bride, find something better.

The psychology of the main characters is therefore not very believable, it grew on the crap of the writer-girls. According to the mood of the day and gut feeling.

One could cynically say to the princess: By marrying the culturally challenged Tuo Ba Lie, she has found someone with whom she can spend her whole life until the end. She had refused this with Shen Yan.

Towards the end, however, FL overflows with declarations of love and marriage wishes. There is a lot of catching up to do. Here, their love is reworked, which could not really convince before.
But in the end everything turns out well, for everyone, and there is a nice happy ending, what more could you want.

The main actors, but also the others were good. And Yuan Bing Yan has the most beautiful mouth anyway. That's why it's okay to watch the series. Only: why is Shen Yan a vegetarian? What is wrong with him?

Just like the title it was prefect ??

There are a few run about spoilers about the characters and not what happens. I found this drama to be refreshing even if it had the traditional bad people/family,murder, rebellion and love. Being only 22 episodes it was packed with emotions of happiness, funny, a few tears, yelling at the TV and completed with no cliffhanger. I found the cast chosen to be perfect for the characters they portray with great chemistry when needed. The music/Oost were on spot to the theme and episodes. We had the good then bad Prince Liu guangping who wants to rebel against his brother the Emperor and nephew CP Liu wang for the throne. Then we have the sasdy, fun, lively and cute Liu Ling aka Princess chang le that helps her cousin keep the throne against a man known as her father. She meet and fall in love with Shen yan military leader and does everything to win his love and their chemistry and relationships is A+. We also have the Lady in waiting Xu shin "Jin" who is very smart and strong willed fighting to clear her XU family name of treason. Jin isnt aware that Shen yu is helping and protecting her disguised as the" ghost" they were childhood sweethearts and he never stopped waiting for her. The final couple is Luo Fan (Shen yan Rt hand man) and Ling bei (Liu ling handmaid/friend) they are young, innocent and its so cute to watch there relationship grow into love. The story has many plots of good and evil intentions, but at the same time they don't drag it out. Great fun watching Good looking stars... I have probably rewatch 3/4 drama as there are so many out there so i marked 5 in between.

Beautiful, light romantic drama

Many reviews seem to say the same, this is a glorious drama - light, funny, romantic drama with a tintish of action.
The acting in this by the leads and supporting cast was excellent. Yuan Bing Yan's character is very well played, a spoiled and strong-willed princess who is just determined to get the man she wants. I am a fan of Yuan Bing Yan, she has played in a wide range of character roles and she just seems to excel in them. The supporting cast here isn't just sideline, they deliver some great little moments in the show and will get you giggling.
The storyline isn't overly complicated but it is enough to keep the story flowing. This isn't a very long drama in comparison to the other C-Dramas so it does move at a decent speed for those who do not like draggy C-Dramas.
Overall, I like this drama. You can sit down and watch this without over thinking and trying to work things out. Nice feel-good drama.

This is a great lighthearted romantic comedy with some dramatic moments set in a historical era. The plot is easy to follow and the actions scenes are well choreographed. There is some mystery, good storylines for supporting characters, great friendship around the leading actors, and a steadfast romance for the main couple. The main leads have great chemistry, their romantic interactions are suave and well done, and it’s great how they love to tease each other. Although the last episodes feel a bit rushed, it doesn’t take away from the overall sense of entertainment. Great drama, enjoy it!

Cute, Funny and Fairly Short and Easy to Watch.

There are a lot of Princess Historical C Dramas and this is one of the cuter and funnier ones. I will admit, I’m not a super fan of the FL chasing after the ML, but she does do it in a very aggressive and adorable way.

The main couple are very pretty and the chemistry is good. The ML does push her away a lot because that is the storyline, so be ready for that. I do love the costumes and hair, especially the ML and that was a mega win for me.

Zheng Ye Cheng was also in The Sleepless Princess too, but I liked him in this role better. Maybe because I liked the styling and storyline more. He’s very tough and masculine in this drama, so if you like that, you won’t be disappointed, just watch the trailer for a skin scene. Yuan Bing Yan is very cute and a very strong FL. She knows what she wants and she is willing to take it.

The drama is fairly short at 22 episodes so it’s easy to watch and binge. I think it’s worth picking up, just for that alone. Overall, funny, cute and with good looking actors.

It is a romance show...

Story
The editing for this show was frankly all over the place and so was this story. I only watched for the romance between Xu Shijin and Shen Yu (I do admit that flat out) and did not care for Liu Ling and Shen Yan's story. So I will admit that skipped most of their scenes together. Actually, I skipped a lot of Liu Ling's scenes of her being sad over him or thinking of him. I think there was a lack of actual development with the characters because they pushed romance at us (3 couples) and political turmoil, palace drama, etc. And nothing was really well developed for me. Even the relationship between Xu Shijin and Shen Yu was not developed., and it felt like immense tension. I do love mutual pining, but I really wanted to see her side of things. We knew he was in love since he wears his heart on his sleeve. It was just disappointing that the show did too much in the time they had.
I think having the third couple get together in the last episode is frankly lazy writing, and it made me feel nothing. AS WELL, I DISLIKE HIGHLY how the storyline of Xu Shijin and Shen Yu ends with the true love knot being broken. It literally adds NOTHING to the story and is like a little "HAHA YOU THUNK". I was rooting for them and it was quite rude.
I WISH we got more political drama and palace drama in the show. Touba Lie and his kingdom of Yigu were really interesting and I kind of wanted more out of it. I think it was a missed opportunity. The ending felt so rushed and I literally felt zero emotions over the death of people. Overall, not a horrible show. But the story could have been a lot better.
I will say my favorite scenes was when we were actually able to see ZYC and MR fighting others, or one another. I know MR is good with stunt work and fight scenes (he has done a decent amount for movies and other shows), but I am glad that ZYC was good as well.
Acting/Cast
I knew when the cast was announced that they were going to do great. This is my first drama though with ZYC and he did really well since I know this cold demeanor is not at all like him. I watched a live stream when the show was initially airing and he has such an annoying personality (in a big brother way) that this character was def different than his personality.
Crystal Yuan must have done a good job for me to dislike the character of Liu Ling so much. She was not a bad actor at all, and she played the complicated character of Liu Ling quite well. All of her emotions were different and she saw her slowly maturing and growing. In the end, she did actually act like a wife and a mature young woman, rather than the very spoiled woman at the start of the show. So I commend her on that.
NOW I watched this drama for Mi Re. The only reason I sat through this show, and it was worth it. He is someone who never tends to play characters similar to his personality (he is extremely introverted, and to himself) so I loved seeing him being mischievous as Shen Yu. Also FINALLY he got a girl. He is notorious for being 2ML and not getting the girl, or the one time he was ML and she died. He also usually dies a lot so seeing him have a happy ending was so rewarding. I remember before airing saying MR would gain a lot of fans from this role, and be commended. So I am disappointed that most people do not mention him too often in this show since he did a great job. Between being stoic when needed, but also the fun loving flirting side of him. But still making it the same character overall.
I want to say good job on ZYC and MR on acting like brothers. Sometimes siblings in shows don't always come across awesome, but they had the bickering down solid. Even though they both had wildly different personalities, they still cared for one another, and also appreciated one another.
Music
You have Liu Yuning singing the theme song so I am going to be in love with the OST. And we had Zhou Shen singing the ending ost. They put a lot of money into this drama and the OST. Even the promotion for this show was insane. The billboards in China for the finale. All of the photoshoots they did. Having them CONSTANTLY together for little skits, douyin trends, reaction videos, live streams.
Rewatch Value
I frankly wont, but I also have very little shows I am willing to rewatch. This will not be one of them.

I do want to shout out the wig and costume department. The wigs were laid correctly and they looked natural. The ponytail that ZYC had and that MR wore for a hot second was so nice. I thnk I screamed when MR appeared in it. The costumes were also splendid and really showed the personality of the wearer. I think Shen Yu had the most varied costumes, since his professional self was very different then his brooding self. While Shen Yan kind of always felt stuffy even though his hair was "out" which is very much his personality. He was not free while Shen Yu is (the large sleeves, the many layers with different textures, his hair being more free flowing). The girls costumes were also great and it highlighted the position they held and them maturing.
