Okay people, here’s your preview for tomorrow’s episode 13 of My Princess. At the risk of starting my potential ranting and raving early based on the written (and now video) preview, I might as well just chill and wait for the actual episode to air. Unlike the collective horror that was reading the written preview for episode 15 of M3 … Continue reading →
I didn’t expect my request for some feedback from folks who are watching My Princess to elicit so many responses in my recap for episode 12. Agree or disagree with my opinion, it shouldn’t influence anyone’s enjoyment of MP. But it does baffle me when I’m told I have a hatred of this drama and therefore should stop recapping it. … Continue reading →
I need some help people. If you are enjoying My Princess, or enjoying my recaps of it, or hopefully both, can you leave a comment telling me? I need something positive to motivate me to finish recapping this drama, which I vow to do. I’m thisclose to tearing my hair out having to suffer through another interminable episode of “The … Continue reading →
We’re entering the final stretch of My Princess, and boy am I glad. I am ready to finish up this drama (and this recap series) and move on. Every episode of MP since episode 8, I’ve found myself genuinely enjoying isolated scenes, but not really connecting with the totality each episode. Frankly, the delightful moments are getting fewer and fewer, and … Continue reading →
I haven’t watched episode 11 of My Princess yet, but I worry that the drama is getting bogged down in the same old issues. I wish Seol would just take up Hae Young’s offer, and let the rest of the drama be about Seol and Hae Young getting back to the palace and convincing the public they’d make a perfect … Continue reading →
My Princess episode 10 left us, and Seol, in the middle of a choice for the ages – Smexy Diplomat Hae Young or being a bona fide princess for life. Hhhm, hard choice. I personally want both, so I would elect to be a princess, and then decree that Park Hae Young must be given to me as my prince … Continue reading →
For some reason My Princess reminds me of My Girl, minus the Hong Sisters’ trademark humor and tone. I loved MG the first time I watched it, but years later on a rewatch it completely fell flat for me. All the cracks in the story were evident, and without an addiction to propel me, it was obvious that the story was … Continue reading →
It’s been quite a treat getting to know new head-writer Jang Yang Shil’s first drama My Princess. I love that she has her own style, and that her drama has thus far being a unique creation that doesn’t copy the tone and substance of her mentor Kim Eun Sook’s works. Her approach is sweeter, gentler, a dash more whimsical and … Continue reading →
Just a note – I will keep recapping My Princess, since I hate to leave a project unfinished. If I can’t continue for whatever reason, I’ll let everyone know. Until then, I hope folks who like this drama continue to enjoy it. My opinions reflect only my thoughts, and shouldn’t influence you at all. 🙂 I haven’t watched episode 9 … Continue reading →
Well, it looks like the cute may be back. Oh hallelujah! The preview for episode 9 of My Princess may be deceiving since I thought we’re headed to angstville on a speeding train, but I choose to believe the glass is half full. I’m actually fast losing interest in this drama (*sobs, I hate when that happens*), so I welcome … Continue reading →
The written preview for episode 9 of My Princess is out. Now that I’ve had a few days to digest episode 8, the verdict is worse than my initial impression. I really disliked the episode not because it was so suddenly weepy. I disliked it because the plot drivers motivating the turn towards melodrama made no sense. Someone, anyone, can … Continue reading →
My Princess hit the mid-way point of its run today. With the ratings holding pretty steady at between 15-17% for the last two weeks, this drama looks to be a solid hit. I think the numbers are about right. The stellar OTP moments in MP make me think it deserves higher ratings, but the dull and plodding royal restoration plot … Continue reading →
My Princess has the most inconsistent effect on me. When I’m watching the drama, sometimes I’m totally into it, other times I’m zoning out for no good reason. During the lull between episodes, occasionally I’m dying to know what happens next, other times I’m happily going about my business with contentment borne from knowing that what will happen will happen … Continue reading →
