My Princess

I agree... I watched this show cause Park hae young is so good looking.

You're entitled to your own opinion and I respect it. This is not my first drama. This is not my 20th drama. All that said, cultural differences cannot be blamed for a slow-moving, anti-climatic plot. As a viewer I cannot respect or sympathize with a whining, selfish girl for a princess who fails to prove she's qualified to rule over a country whose got along just fine for decades without a monarchy. So the director says a few harsh (but deserving) words to the princess in private and that's supposed to be drama? One sister hates/is jealous of the other sister, is that supposed be the ultimate defining conflict? An immature girl has to learn how to grow up and be an adult (even though she's old enough in Korean years to be there already). The princess knowingly lets the director do as she pleases for several episodes then at the end stands all high and mighty like she actually did something.In the comparable drama "Goong" there was lots of sitting and talking but at least the plot kept moving forward and there was visible development shown in the characters. There were multiple conflicts involved rather than the work of just one person with limited power. In "My Princess" the plot stays stationary for too long and NO ONE grows from the experience. The princess is still immature and unqualified and everyone who had an attitude problem remains the same. That's not a North American POV way of story telling either. As with many Kdramas someone comes out of the conflict with more wisdom or an altered look at life. I only lost my "patience" when I realized how many hours I wasted watching a wishy-washy story that went nowhere.
