It was actually pretty cute.
To my surprise I found Be my Princess pretty cute. I was a little shocked because of the mixed reviews, but I guess the storyline and acting just worked for me.
The first thing you have to do is get past the bad dubbing. Sometimes dramas have good dubbing and sometimes, it's just very awful. Like, the loud background noise and loud footsteps, you can obviously hear it's been done in a sound studio, but I get it, this was a lower budget drama.
I watched this drama for Jeremy Tsui and I was disappointed they didn't use his real voice, only because I heard his voice in The Autumn Ballad, which I enjoyed a lot. I understand his voice is a little higher pitch, but I felt like it would have complimented his acting better. I really liked the FL, but her being 23 and there's a 15ish age year gap between the FL and ML in real life is a little icky, but that is just me. Overall, they had really great chemistry and even though the FL is young, she didn't act young.
I especially loved the second couple, I'm a huge fan of Hu Yan Hao in Love is Deep and I'm disappointed he hasn't had a ML role since. I'm rooting for you! I thought the second couple had cute chemistry and I enjoyed their story line just as much as the main leads.
A lot of reviewers had issues with the second arc of the story. They thought the ML pursuing the FL was a little too long and and they wanted the original ML to come back. I, however, LOVED the second arc. I was engrossed with all the cuteness and how he chased after the FL. I thought that was the heart of the drama.
I also enjoyed the back and forth storylines between the past story and the current story. I love watching historical dramas so I felt like I got two dramas in one. I also liked the last two episodes where they clipped all the historical drama scenes together for a mini drama.
Overall, it was a low budget drama with a A list cast in my opinion. They reused the clothes a bit and the dubbing wasn't so great, but the acting and plot was where it worked for me and I guess that is what truly matters.
