My Princess (2011)

After watching few episodes from this drama
I was enjoying much and I was going to rate it high till ep.09

starting from episode 10 everything were in mess
The characters development were under zero
Women's character in this drama were divided between
Naive , frustrating and selfish B****, annoying

The story wasn't good enough
many events were illogical
The plot was ok
The romance was lukewarm
The villains were extremely annoying
The FL character were depressing

And the punishment for the villain characters were weak

What happened to yoon joo and the FL'S sister weren't fair enough for what they did
And they continuing selfish B**** as they were till the end

The FL continue naive and weak till the end
Jung woo the professor was too loyal for such a great B**** like Yoon joo

Something went wrong after ep.09 which made me lost my interest and took a deep breath after I finished it

6/10 just for seung heon because I'm big fan for him
His acting is superior really
Inspite he was smiling most of the time when he looks to the FL while they were talking seriously
Which made the acting lost it's credibility

KTH at her cutest and SSH at his romcom best. Together, they make one endearing pair.

First, the bad. The script feels uneven and wanders a bit in the middle part. The music sometimes doesn’t fit the scene. The director missed a bunch of things here and there (probably due to the live shoot system).

But the good makes up overwhelmingly for the show’s flaws. Our main couple is adorable. They are extremely comfortable with each other and start off as co-conspirators and semi-friends. They’re sweet without being cheesy. They playfully argue without actual bickering. Their characters grow without losing their essence.

I've watched Kim Tae Hee's other romantic pairings before and her role here as a modern princess plus her pairing with Song Seung Hon is the best of all (for reference: she was good with Joo Won in Yong Pal but her character there wasn't; her pairings in Jang Ok Jung and IRIS were tragic). Also, I've seen SSH in his older melodramas and in 2017's Black and couldn't see the charm—until here.

If you like either of them, then I suggest giving this a try. This is one of those few older shows that I can absolutely rewatch and recommend (albeit with some fast-forwarding).

I started to watch this drama as I was looking for a light romance, I had shed enough tears with the other romantic dramas, so I decided to give it a go, without having any expectations.. From the first episode I started to enjoy it..

The chemistry between the characters were great, I shipped them from the first moment, The museum scene was quite funny, she acted like she is dating with our chaebol to make the museum president jealous, she was there to check on her as she is the girl her prof loves...


Lee Seol is a college girl who has a crush on her archeology prof portrayed by Ryu Soo Young, I can't blame her every girl wants an intellectual guy, but her prof is in love with the Dea Han Museum President since he was a college student, who is going to be engaged with our Chaebol..

Yoon Jo is set to be engaged with our chaebol, her ex is the prof, but whenever she is not ok, she runs into arms of prof, he is another idiot its been many years since you break up and you have not changed your pin to enter to your flat.. for what reason??

The Church scene on ep4, when Lee Seol's mother puts her letter written to her instead of her prayer letter into the box and when the father / priest started to read it on Sunday Prayers, that scene was quite funny, it is the start of many misunderstanding, this let people to think she is pregnant, and even the priest got shocked but then he said it is normal these day, what would he say at that moment :))

The scenes with prof and our chaebol is fantastic, they both like / love her without knowing their feelings at the time, during the scenes I was humming let the two tigers fight haahh ( this is way before the love developed in between the characters)

Lee Seol is loud, a bit naive but she is beautiful with a good heart, she is quite lively, I loved the outfit and tiara she was wearing when she was looking after her mother's hostel... Her transformation is amazing..

When Hae Young chucked out from his flat by his granddad he goes to department store for clothes shopping, but he accidentally goes to women's lingerie part and starts to look around at the same moment Princess is also at the department store and happens to pass from the same section, he's been caught while hiding behind the mannequin with sexy lingerie on eh while he is holding the mannequin everybody gives him a look :)) ofcourse he has not only been chucked out of his flat grandad put hold on all his credit cards.. :))

later on he's been assigned to teach her some etiquette. that's the time when they find a chance to get more close...

We can see our chaebol is jealous of the prof.. How many times they came face to face and the anger in between them, oh gosh.. they could have easily have choked each other. One is certain of his feelings but not openly telling her, the other one is hiding and denying it as long as he can...

The fiance Yoon Joo thinks she can jump from one men to another one whenever she wishes, she's so arrogant and selfish, mean, she does not know what she wants, maybe a little bit jealous because she knows the guy she wants as a fiance and her ex are all falling for Lee Seoul... She even selfishly can say whether you leave the palace on your own or we get you out of the palace time to disappear of.. that's being mean, jealous and selfish. It is public who is going to decide not you, it is not OK to say there's no one on your side in the palace.

There is no reason to hide her past, as the public would love her more if they learn she was one of them, working hard to earn money...

There are also plots twists in the drama, such as Lee Seol's & Hae Young's first meeting... Well if you are watching the drama now and if you are on the first episodes you obviously think yeah yes when she was acting as the princess when she was on part time job.. wait and see.. it was a bit surprising for me not expecting this...

Princess & Chaebol has got opposite characters, while one is warm, open hearted ,the other one is like an iceberg, calculated..

We do have to wait a little bit for their first kiss but it was unexpected for both parties.... first kiss is shared on a snowy winter day while it is snowing..

On a drunk night when our Chaebol put our princess to bed, the alarm bells were already ringing for him.. he already fell for her no matter how he tries to deny it....

Yoo Joon using both men for own benefits, and she has still hopes to marry one of the other, she insanely thinks whatever I can get, whoever I can get is on my benefit.. Sorry Yoo Joon you are destined to be single for the rest of your life.. You should not be this much btch..

Both men are proud of Seol but one is showing this with his body language and emotions while the other one is not showing anything at all, just standing there like a statue, without showing any emotions at all.

Later on YJ assigned as a director in the palace and she has done her best to make Seol uncomfortable but at the end she could not beat her..

at the end YJ lost both men, while trying to get a better one....... at the time.. but let's see what future brings for her... Men are brainless so I am guessing prof will take her back, though she does not deserve any of these guys.

Lee Seol is not like Anne Hathaway in Princess Diaries.. She has a more mature character comparing to Anne in Princess Diaries.

When Nam Jung Woo speaks I feel like he is speaking in French, so sexy hahaha

Lee Seol & Hae Young has got that much frustration that my tv room was about to set on fire .... :))

The reaction grandad gave when he learned that the two spend the night alone in one room was worth to see / watch :D

HY & YJ are in a way forced to marry.. Not gonna say whether the wedding is set or not.... Well hell Pandora's box is open after grandad asked them to marry.. Well cards are all open and on the table now, let's wait and see..

Somebody finally understand that YJ is after the money..

She is too bitchy that she wants both men for herself. She even send a text msg to both men but luckily both men were together when they received the text msg from her...

It was quite funny when Joo Sang Wook appeared as an oppa and LS wanted to give him a warm hug and been pulled by HY haaah

Her sister is another bitch....

YJ is so evil that she even went to LS's orphanage to investigate.. but she was shocked to see LS coming to orphanage with prof.

When 2 revival females goes up for a drink, you know what's coming next, their claws are sharpened and ready for a cat fight...

LS & HY both likes to chicken out, she chickened out when HY asked him if she likes Mr P or NJW, he chickened out when she asked if he is still the enemy...

Sisters and YJ characters are more or less the same, jealousy, evilness, being over confident and selfish. She even dares to claim the sachet as hers and shows this prof with the influence of the director.

She became so pro that she even prepared her own course schedule.

ahh guess who is going to give her music & dance lessons

"RAIN OPPA"

I had too much expectations. royal wedding , honeymoon and half a dozen of babies
President asked him not to marry Seol and go to Washington bec of tax fraud image?? We see that he is not a strong character, he can’t cope with things…


If the president asked him to kill himself was he gonna kill himself?


what did we had at the end.. He did not even propose her properly..


He just left that big rock by the fountain pool. So he is at the airport waiting to go to Washington DC he looks around and can not see the Seol, so he jumps into the plane, he asked for a glass of red wine, when he was about to sip a hand stopped him, he looked it was Seol, he asked her how did she got in? She said bec you wanted bec I wanted.. He give her a kiss, she gave him a passionate kiss, end of story!! So where is the wedding? what did we have? Did she dropped being a princess??

If she wanted to give up being a princess why did not she do it when he first asked her to be his woman??This does not make sense. We need a sequel, remake, with a proper ending.. thats it…


One big slap to the moron prof, that woman played with you not only with you with HY, she tried to harm your student which you also had a crush on. She tried to damage the imperial family image, and you open your arms and say welcome back to me baby… Ahh Jeezzz I had enough of idiot brainless men in this drama…. This woman dumped you for HJ, dumped HJ for you, caused so much tantrums, problems blah blah, and you forget things and forgive this much easily!!! so let her get away with things with a blink of an eye, let the evil win…


They should have solved this princess issue by ep 8 and by episode 16, we should have seen, Mr.P's dad is now back to Korea, everything is resolved. Mr P & Seol is married with a one daughter, Seol is expecting their 2nd child, the child is running around the palace garden.. etc etc.. Seol, Mr P and dad is sitting and enjoying the bright summer's day and suddenly we see her rushing to the hospital, she gave birth to a son, the future prince. They are both happy, they took the children to the sea where they scattered the chairman's ashes.. They share a big, passionate kiss, daughter asks what dad is doing to mummy :P blah blah blah.

I expected a much more better ending ahh that's left to our imagination.....

I am so angry that they have only give us a couple of kisses, they had such a great chemistry

So such a great chemisty is wasted, Now Kim is married to Rain oppa and I don't think we'll ever see her in such a cute a romance, maybe Rain oppa will get jealous hahah

We can clearly see why Rain OPPA got married with this beautiful girl :)) ( Kim Tae Her)

Oh God !!! I love Song Seung Heon and thanks to his sweetness I turned into a fan girl after watching his few dramas

If you want to see more of him jump to Saimdang, the Herstory, currently airing on dramafever.

I stumbled across My Princess by complete accident, and I'm very glad I did.



To be honest, I wasn't expecting much of this drama, at all. The casting however was SUPERB. I love Kim Tae-hee and hope to see her in many more movies like this. Song Seung-heon was brilliant, played his part magnificently.



The whole plot was done well, and the characters were all played to perfection. I did find it very comedic and light hearted, the scripting did a very good job in keeping the majority of it light and fun.



The two major flaws in this drama were the pacing and the music, I feel. The pacing was great at the beginning and brilliant at the end, but the middle got a little jumbled, and if I'm honest, boring. Others have commented on it so I know I'm not alone when thinking this. The scripting just seemed to run away with itself and so it really got so boring to the point I was tempted to skip episodes.

The music was all off, for some strange reason sometimes the music would overpower the dialogue, or the music seemed to be playing in the wrong part, sad parts accompanied by happy music. Being a music lover, this just sounded very wrong.



On the whole, definitely a drama I'd recommend watching if you can stick through the boring parts to get a brilliant ending. You won't be disappointed!

For when this drama came out, I think it was a well-done rom-com with lots of cute chemistry between the main leads.

For someone who has been watching dramas for a long time, you will find that while the premise is quite interesting, the storyline and villains are quite predictable.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. The first few episodes are the best because the SSH and KTH had good dialogue and the repeated meetings between the strangers were believable and cute. There was character development throughout the drama between the two main leads.

Watch this for cute moments and skip the predictable villains that pop up throughout.

I'm surprised at how good this drama got towards the end. In the beginning, it was amusing at times, but the only reason I stuck with it initially was because I hate dropping dramas. I'm glad I did, however, because it picked up halfway through, and I found myself drawn into the story, even though there were still times I ended up screaming at the television, going 'why? Why can't you see what's about to happen? Aish!' What I most enjoyed was the music, and the crazy situations the princess found herself in. (Plus the eye candy that is Song Seung Hun ;D) If you're looking for a drama that'll pass the time quickly, and that's light and easy to follow, then this is the drama for you.

Normal girl becomes princess

I don't recall exactly why I started watching this. At the time of airing, it had so much hype and so many people were talking about it, that I decided to give it a shot.

This was one of those dramas that took me a long time to complete. It had already finished for a month, and I was still struggling to get past the last few episodes. I do think the story started out with an interesting premise, but it was soon clear that it didn't have much more than that, a catchy premise.

Both Kim Tae Hee and Song Seung Hun did well as leads despite the subpar writing. They had good enough chemistry and their romantic scenes were cute enough, even though It felt to me like the couple didn't have enough rapport at the start that would convince me of their feelings for each other.

If you want silly and somewhat cute and fluffy drama about a normal girl becoming a princess and finding her prince, then this is for you,

Main leads are 2 of the biggest stars of Korea, so what went wrong? After a while I could not stand anymore crying from Kim Tae Hee, it became so irritating, so was her indecisiveness. So different than her take charge character in ISIS. Even with the hot lead of Song Seung Hun, could not salvage this drama for me. I was crazy about him after first seeing him as the alfa gang leader in WHEN A MAN LOVES. i did not like his character at all in this drama. I was confused with some of the storylines, did not like the writing at all. I really struggled to finish it. Hope they never pick a drama like this again.

My Princess is one of those dramas where you will forgo sleep because it is that addicting.

The story is funny and exciting in the beginning. Towards the last 1/3 the tone starts to change because it becomes more emotional. I started to get just a little restless but not enough to want to skip episodes or anything. The ending wasn\''\''t as defined as I would have liked but it was still happy & cute.

Ah the cast is pretty much what makes this drama so magnificent. Kim Tae Hee as the princess was so perfect. She was able to portray a naive young college student who later becomes a strong princess thanks to our too gorgeous Song Sung Hun. Seriously thier chemistry is too much to take. I kept smiling like a giddy girl everytime they shared a scene, which is practically the whole drama! LOL. I really liked the supporting characters they all added something.

The OST is so fun and pretty much all the songs are amazing. Every Single Day is the standout artist on there.

I can see myself watching this twice a year just because the cast is so freaking awesome=D

Overall, its true the story does have flaws but this is still one of the best dramas of 2011!

I recently re-watched this drama. I found that since I first saw it when I had watched very few K-dramas I liked it a lot, but the second time I liked it a bit less. I think it's because now that I have seen so many, I know what tropes I like and which ones bug me. This contained a couple of things that bugged me that I'm not sure I noticed the first time. More about that in a moment.

Story: This is a unique story when it comes to the royal family because it deals with trying to bring back the monarchy after it had not been a part of the government for awhile. I have not seen that in any other drama, so I thought it was an interesting twist.

Cast: All of the actors and actresses in this drama do a great job portraying their characters. Kim Tae Hee and Song Seung Heon play the lead characters and are great fun to watch together. My favorite side characters were the Royal Chef (played by Lee Gi Kwang) and the main assistant to the Princess (played by Son Sung Yoon). Anytime either of those characters were on screen you just had to grin...and it was more fun if they happened to be in scenes together.

Music: Honestly, the music didn't really stand out to me at all, which means for me that it fit the show well, but wasn't overly amazing.

Slight annoyances:

#1: Kim Tae Hee's character of the Princess is great, but she has some incredibly annoying and childish characteristics that are ok at first, but by the end of the series start to weigh on you and you just want to slap the character and say, "CUT IT OUT! YOU'RE AN ADULT SO ACT LIKE IT!" She's supposed to be a college student, but her reactions in some things remind me more of middle schoolers (and I have worked with many middle schoolers in my life so that's not an exaggeration). These come out especially when she is trying to get her way about something. This is no reflection on the acting, but on the writing for the character.

#2: I don't want to give any spoilers so I will just say that there are a couple of journeys to foreign lands that a certain character takes that just don't make sense. It really doesn't add to the story...nor really take anything away. It's like they were added simply so there could be scenes put in where people could be like "I wonder when So and So is coming back." or "Have you heard from So and So yet?" Those kind of pointless plot points that seem to just make the drama longer for no reason bother me.

Overall though, this is a good drama with a fun cast to watch. So if you are looking for a show to enjoy after a stressful day, this might just fit that bill.

Well let's see now, the initial 2-3 episodes did not hold much promise. But strangely enough the story is set into motion afterwards. There couldn't have been a better person for the role of a scatterbrain princess than Kim Tae Hee and a suave, charming diplomat than Song Seung Hun. What makes this drama tick is the cute yet hot chemistry between the leads, the way their romance develops and ultimately triumphs over all troubles that come their way. Park Ye Jin's role as the evil woman also adds to the spice as she has portrayed her part as the cold, calculating Oh Yoon Joo to perfection. It may drag in the beginning but if you hold on and keep on watching you'll surely find yourself getting addicted to it. What's saddening is that when the drama ends you will find yourself missing both princess Lee Seol, the hot diplomat Park Hae Young and their refreshing romance. And aww those kisses! <3
