Romantic Princess (2007)

This drama is light heart-ed fun. I liked the drama initially, but later on I just lost interest, though I can't pinpoint any one reason for it.

Unlike what the name implies, I didn't find anything that romantic about the story or the princess. The princess was more like a child, even with all the fancy clothes. Maybe it was Angela Zhang's petite frame that made me feel that.

Even so, there were things that I appreciated about this drama:

For one, blessedly, there is no love triangle. Which has to be mentioned because the there are four boys in the place when Xiao Mei comes in.

That's the next thing- The actors are good. Almost all the characters in the drama are very interesting and fun.
The four guys,(besides being eye candy)each have good roles.
The grandfather, butler, Xiao Mei's parents are all great characters that add a lot of fun.
Refreshingly here, the grandfather, even when he is being tyrannical, comes across as adorable and with a sense of humor.

The story, is obviously over the top and has holes in logic, but they do try hard to keep up the logic most of the time.

Overall, I guess if what you need is just time pass with some laughs, Romantic Princess might do it for you.

Even it is a really ordinary drama I think it's a touching drama that can make you cry.
I'm just the girl who likes lovestories - and if you like that too it really is worth to watch.
If you like good-looking taiwanese actors, too.
The serious scenes often are too long, but there are also very funny scenes.
Sometimes the characters aren't that authentic but they are lively. The Opening Music is from 'Fahrenheit'

It's(not only)a lovestory, that is foreseeable from the beginning, but you know: The journey is the reward.
That shy love between Wu Chun and Angela Zhang is heart- thrilling to watch! It's this 'One-and-only-forever-love'.
