Recently, I was under the impression that I had finished watching all the good and best rom coms. I had totally forgotten about this drama that I wanted to watch for so long. Now that it's over I realized that it is one of the best ones I have seen till now.
Most romantic comedies are poorly written- with cliche characters, cheesy romance, lots of angst, little to no character development and just unbelievable makjang. Okay, I do enjoy that stuff but I say this drama doesn't fall into any of those categories. It's definitely one of the best-written romance dramas I know of. It's fresh and unique.
What sets this drama apart from the rest of the dramas in its pool is that it's funny, fresh, mature and original. Even though it does have lots of cliches in it, it presents them in a way that's quite different.
Ma Hye Ri is one of the very few strong, cool kdrama heroines. She's smart, naive and also has the right amount of vulnerability. What I loved about her was how she grew till the end. Her character did test my patience a lot of times but I was quite happy with her by the end. There were some unbelievable things about her too but that was a given since this is a kdrama after all! I think the actress did a fabulous job portraying her and had it been any bad actress I would have hated Ma Hye Ri's character. Also, her character is quite different not as pathetic as so many drama females. Thanks to the writer for that.
Seo In Woo makes it to the list of my favorite Korean guys ever. He was just SO COOL. He's one of the best written male protagonists ever from any rom-com drama in existence. He was pure perfection for me because he was different! He isn't a jerk, doesn't harass the female, is always there to support her and also has the tragic past we all want our male leads to have. His character had a lot of struggle with himself and between what he wanted to do and what had to be done. Park Shi Hoo gave quite a memorable performance. He made me fall in love with Seo In Woo completely. His handsome looks and charm also had him at an advantage. :D
Yun Se Jun aka our second male lead is also a likable character. He wasn't as pathetic or as perfect as second leads usually are. I also like the actor who played the role. He was cool and till maybe ep 5 or so I totally shipped him with Ma Hye Ri.
Jin Jung Sun aka the second female lead was also very nice, mature and easy to like. This is such a rare thing to come across nice second female leads. She's probably one of my favorite second leads ever too. :)
Apart from that I love how this drama stays faithful to its title 'Prosecutor Princess'. Their cases were written well and kept me interested. This drama didn't drag as much as most dramas do and I believe it's a great thing. The ending was cute too.
I also liked its soundtrack. The songs became a bit repetitive towards the end, but I liked the background scores in most scenes. The cinematography was nice too. All the scenes shot under the sakura and in the parks looked amazing.
This is probably is and will remain as one of my favorite Korean dramas.
