Ever look at a title, see the actors, read the story line and think: "Wow, this looks like a historical romance k-drama come true"?
Well, this is not the case.
Princess' man was an incredible disappointment. I would probably have given it a higher score, but the last episodes absolutely postively demoted the overall score by two points (if not more).
The acting was good- I somewhat enjoyed Park Shi Hoo's character (Kim Seung Yoo) as well as Hong Soo-Hyun (Princess Kyung Hye). Moon Chae-won (Lee Se Ryung)- the main female lead!-, i felt, lacked emotion at some points. The relationship between Seung Yoo and Se Ryung was not no believable and although many acts were done to bring the characters closer and show how deep and strong their love was... the chemistry was not there.
The "couple effect" however, was strong between Hong Soo-Hyun and Lee Min-Woo... It made me think, "But, who's our main couple? Where are the sweet moments??" For those who don't know, I am typically all about the sweet moments and a dang good plot.
The plot in Princess' Man started off well... it had intrigue, humor, just the right amount of fluff, jealousy, started off with the right amount of romance... It basically was ready to wrap up the Joseon era in a pretty christmas package, when, without reason, the drama took messy, inexplicible, intolerable, unnecessary, unresolved, undesirable, (and MANY more UNs and INs)..twists and turns which totally did not follow with the theme of the storyline.
Because of this, I feel Princess' Man fell flat on it's face, despite the "Romeo and Juliet" everlasting love feel. Should you watch it? Only if:
a. You've run out of dramas to watch (although, watch this before Boys before flowers)
b. You're not into justice
c. You just need a Park Shi Hoo fix
d. You like side character's love stories
