This is Princess Diaries, only with an average Korean college student and a ton more political intrigue. The rival female is delightful to hate--she has no redeeming qualities. There actually isn't much of a love square, either!
Pros:
- The main character doesn't take herself too seriously.
- The main romantic interest has a "knight in shining armor" complex without being overbearing--he's adorable, but still manly.
- The rival female is unapologetic about her bitchiness.
- The early and middle episodes were particularly well paced.
- The main character (particularly her facial expressions) reminds me a bit of Super Junior's Heechul. This gave me endless amusement during the early episodes.
Cons:
- A ho-hum unsatisfying ending.
- The main character's sister fills the "villain you feel sympathy for" role. The plot lines she's involved with feel forced and unfinished.
- The "political intrigue" is overdone in some places. No one really cares--it's supposed to be a plot device upon which their romance is built...
