i usually* or I should say sometimes- get in love to stories in televisions or anything but for drama-series definitely sure! but when I accidentally saw one segment of this story at a local network I felt different. I started encouraging myself & asking to research on what is that segment I saw. Then I said to myslef ! Wowzie O_O its a Korean series. Then I said, It sure not from our country though I know k-drama is even thouse I didn't understand the words they were sayin i just felt the story through the two characters which on later research I found out to be the crown prince and the crown princess. I said it is interesting. So I looked for a DVD of it with a subtitle that I think is best and I found out that I'm right. It is one of the most interesting series that I have ever seen. I watched the series for a couple of times and I realized that what made the story interesting is the manner of the actors and actresses presented their characters. I must admit that Yoon Eun-Hye and Joo Ji-Hoon acted well and posses this charisma that even people who cannot understand their language will perfectly feel the words and understands it. THen later on, I found a series of this k-drama on youtube in English sub, then I started watchin' it~ it was much better that I can understand it without hesitating* And that I can just go on my youtube account to watch it on my free time since we all been real busy with our own stuff/school/work etc. They totally look good together and I believe the international entertainment industry can see it. I am sure billions of people are waiting for the next love series of Yoon Eun-Hye and Joo Ji-Hoon Of course myself are waiting XD!. I'm just so addictive on k-drama aint' i? lol
It's 2010 & people are talking about Princess Hours everywhere! but the story and the charisma of the two are existing in different countries. How sensation is that ! I'm wondering if it is only dream that these two can once again be seen on screen together…
This drama definitely caught me as a fanatic k-drama - some parts made me laugh & some parts made me cry it's just so romantic but overall I would say, this is one of the best k-drama ever made as I stated earlier. ^^ :happy:
Among the k-dramas that I have watched, Princess Hours would probably one of my favorite*
i just so love this k drama so much^^ it really has a great storyline!! and not to mention KIM JEONG HOON he's being VERY, VERY gorgeous here X) ~ I just love him but at top of all starring ~ Ju Ji Hoon & Yoon Eun Hae ~ Are just so amazing~ Love couple~ I both love them together~ THis is just such a good k-drama

Overall: This is the very first drama I watched, and I was very impressed with everything from the acting to the wardrobe to the set on which it took place. I enjoyed watching this drama from start to finish, and I highly recommed that those unfamilar with romantic K-dramas start with this one.

Storyline: The storyline is kind of a Cinderella story. The main character Shin Chae-kyung doesn't come from a well to do family. In fact her father ruined his business and her parents are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy when she decides to marry Crown Prince Lee Shin. I actually love that they did not start off all lovey dovey because then it would have been a pretty dull drama. The couple has actually gets to know each other pretty well through hilarious and sorrowful moments and make it work in the end. The antagonists really bring the drama through manipulative plotting and bold face lies.

Music. I gave the music a 5/5 even though they play the same music throughout the whole series. It sounds nice and it's not overbearing or underused. However, I wished more music was used instead of the theme music.

Characters: My favortie character is Lee Shin's Grandmother, the Queen Mother (later Great Queen Mother), because she is so fun and giggly and never cruel. She brings life to this drama. For example, from time to time when everyone is serious she will burst out laughing and start cracking jokes. Lee Shin's sister (I'll add her name when I remember it), is very much like her grandmother. Easygoing and wise beyond her years, she adds a element of sensibility and informality to the royal family. I am happy that she was chosen to be the Queen. Hyo-rin is easily many viewers least favorite character because of refusal to let go of Shin despite the fact that he's a married man. I do not like her character, but I do not hate her. Actually, I do not hate any of the characters, but some really rub me the wrong way. Yul started off one of my favorite characters, but as the series went on he became a character that I did not like at all. Coming on to your married cousin-in-law is a dirty, selfish thing to do. Quite frankly, I thought that the knuckle sandwich that Shin gave him was well deserved. His mother is digusting. Enough said.

Acting: Superb. You really feel the emotions coming from everyone, and the dialogue is very genuine and often quite raw.. Yoon Eun-Hye is brilliant.

Alright, this is another drama that kept getting recommended to me, and I finally picked it up because of my love for Yoon Eun Hye. Well, she didn't disappoint me - she really can adapt perfectly into any role she's given.

The cheese levels were so high in this drama that I was debating getting some bread and wine to go with it. The emotions of the characters swing up and down, hot and cold. If there's a reaction to be had, you can bet the character will take the more extreme end of it.

And there's one thing that a lot of dramas do that this didn't shy away from - the female lead being hopelessly, tearfully in love with, pardon my French, an asshole. The characters were first class idiots sometimes, to the point where there was no reason to be so idiotic, except maybe stretch the drama for another episode. I almost stopped watching several times because of that.

And yet... just when you reach your limit, there would be a really cute, sweet scene that keeps you with the show. Or the character would suddenly do the right thing - sometimes something even unusual to dramas in general. And I loved that the main character did NOT have a snappy reply to everything, like a lot of main characters seem to.

To sum up: This would suit the tastes of most drama watchers, whether they watch Korean, Japanese, or Taiwanese dramas, since it has all of the "right" elements. However, if you're looking for something different, look far away from Princess Hours. Really far.

Personally, Princess Hours was not a waste. I loved watching this drama so much, the only problem is that the ending wasn't good enough. I dislike when a drama such as Princess Hours, is going really well, and than once you get to the end, it's like... But if your interested in a normal girl being turned into a princess, watch this drama. It will get you to laugh, cry, and get angry. This emotional drama will be of an interest to anyone really.

I don't know if I can call this a favorite, but I did get hooked into the storyline! Overall, I really like it.

The characters will make you laugh, annoy you, get you angry, and probably cry (it got to me a few times). You may even feel great sympathy for them like the characters did for each other.

The acting was good. Not amazing, but impressive enough to ALMOST believe or feel what the character is supposed to go through. Yoon Eun-Hye was great comically and getting me tears as she was acting. The actor that played Shin was surprisingly really good at being so cruel to want to hate until you see his vulnerable side and fairly amusing with his character's brattiness.

Ugh! And why does the nice guy (Yul) have to finish last?! I know, I know. Thank goodness it's just a story. That's another thing about this drama, you can't help, but get emotionally involved in it!

The music was rather interesting. I actually liked this drama's music better than Coffee Prince. However, it all depends on the storyline, in which the music played in Princess Hours had perfect timing in the right scenes.
