If you can make it through... This can be a halfway good watch 2 stars for Eps 1-8; 7 stars for Eps 9-16 (How does that average out to a 6? Shhh, I don't know either) I almost gave up on this drama. The first 8 eps are horrendous, toe-nail curling, cringe-inducing and I'm sure I lost a few brain cells in the process. Ma Hye Ri's character starts off as one of the ditziest, bird-brained Kdrama females I have EVER come across... I only continued because everyone promised me it would get better, which it did - even if that transformation was almost too late in coming. Honestly, for a drama called "Prosecutor Princess" I thought the plot couldn't possibly be that great, but it's actually halfway unique, and allows for an interesting twist in the romance. We've all seen the typical scenarios where "silly girl learns to grow up and become mature and confident, and thereby wins the love of already confidant man." Here we see the first part of this, but the male lead Seo In Woo (Park Shi Woo) does not fit into the normal Kdrama character stereotype. Let me repeat! The MALE lead does NOT play the standard, "You're an idiot; You're ugly; go cause drama somewhere Not around me; I hate you, but why do I like you against my will?" -spouting character! Despite HyeRi's ditziness, In Woo never calls her stupid, nor patronizes her. On the contrary, from episode 1 he appears as her superman, saving the day and whatnot, but while doing so he is encouraging and supportive, and given a little time, believably enamored by our silly and naive Hye Ri. Okay, so there's more to that than meets the eye (but of course! It's Kdramaland!) but that doesn't change the fact that for me - curling my toes and dying in agony at our exasperating heroine - seeing a male lead that unbelievably adorable from day 1 was a very welcome change. I'd like that say that his sobering and non-dominating influence helps Hye Ri become more human, as well as a better prosecutor; or maybe the writers just decided they'd had enough with her being unreasonably ridiculous after a while, but believe it or not: Kim So Yeon manages to flesh out the character of Ma Hye Ri into someone I actually care about, and therefore someone our lead would care about. My favorite quote out of her: "My common sense is a bit lacking in consistency." Yes, well so is mine sometimes, otherwise I may have saved myself the trouble of watching this... but I think this show gives us enough in its second half to make Prosecutor Princess a good watch. You might just have to fast-forward a bit to get to the good parts. ;)
