intro: U-PRINCE is a series of 12 series, each having 4 * 1 hour episodes, and features one young man's journey in finding love in his life.. it's set in the environment of university, and to some extent all the stories are connected, since all young men are making an appearance in other's stories as side characters.
That said, you don't really have to follow the "order of appearance", but, for those who like to keep things chronological, this it the order:
Part 1 : Handsome Cowboy
Part 2 : Gentle Vet
Part 3 : Lovely Geologist
Part 4 : Bad-ass Baker
Part 5 : Absolute Economist
Part 6 : Foxy Pilot
Part 7 : Playful Comm-Arts
Part 8 : Extroverted Humanist
Part 9 : Single Lawyer
Part 10 : Crazy Artist
Part 11 : Badly Politics
Part 12 : Ambitious Boss
Generally, these are ALL cute stories, made to make you smile.

Telling a story of extrovert courting an introvert is difficult, if you're trying to convey it to an ambitious audience who know both sides of human spectrum. In no way should you take this Show as some kind of a deep social study of true human opposites, since it's not. Accept it more as a loosely based on an idea of someone being an introvert.
(written by fingertips of a real life Introvert, who's being friends with an extrovert - for some weird reason)
I have read some of the comments stating that ML is "too much" of an extrovert. In his defense: believe me folks, he's NOT. I have seen worse cases. Then again, I do live in a part of the world where asking questions is just a normal thing, and things like "minding your own business" don't really apply. Most people over here ARE open, they invite themselves over, they shout, publicly show their affection (and lack of it), all the shenanigans. Therefore, believe me when I say: our dear ML is NOT too much.
It's you.
You're being up-tight. :)
Other side of the spectrum is one shy new girl. I chose to call her "shy" since being an introvert is a little bit more than just occasionally listening to music away from people. Surely, the start of the Show was on-spot,. but then it watered down. But, let's suppose it' due to FL opening up to new experiences.
What truly moves this Show are the Evil People and Friends. Without the first, the audience would not have all the adventure in front of them. Without the other, there wouldn't have been a way to untie the knot (watch it and you'll see where's the knot!).
OTP is lovely.
But,m honestly, like I just said, what makes this show are all the people (good and bad) that surround them. And, nothing beats the moment your brother decides he had enough of games, and puts his hand on the table: feathers will fly (not literally, but sit got really close to that with some people.. but, more on "those people" in another Show)

I will not leave the favorite motivational sentence from this one, but one simple vision of one scene.
Imagine saying to your love interest's parent (loudly) that you are going after their child, followed by realization of such statement, and then making it even better by using words "SHIT! I messed up!" :)
