I happened upon a review that said this drama was the best of all time. To me that title isnt given lightly so i decided to watch and see exactly how bad Prince Turns to Frog really was. I was wrong, and the drama is quite good, but not worthy of the best of all time title. Bad stuff first- the drama really sports every drama cliche you know and have seen. from memory loss to illegitimate children, this drama annoyingly touches every one of them. The music/soundtrack is God-awful, i cringed each time that boy band started singing. Although the premise is cool, its also really annoying how no one and i mean NO ONE ever looked where they were going, i know the director was trying to create "just missed" moments but they "just" got me agitated. Who really pulls up a car and never sees who is on the curb?? A lot of the other things i hated in the drama were really my pet peeves like: the wardrobe was just ignorant, and a lot of the characters just wore the same clothes with different jackets, and only some of the characters were properly fitted. I know the drama aired in 2005, so i didnt expect much on technology but they could have at least shaped a few eyebrows and whitened a few teeth. Even though i found all this annoying, the drama is addictive and funny. Even though i knew there would be a great ending the characters and their foolishness made me want to stay for the ride. I watched the turn of events with a few surprises, melodramatics, and horrid fake fight scenes to see the end. To its credit there was no super evil mother or a really bad antagonist that upset me to not watch making it really easy to breeze through episode after episode. The first 2 episodes has a really slow start but it got a lot better. Yes it was a good watch, not great but still worthwhile.
