My Princess - my delight
I was rather worried about the withdrawal I was going to go into when the fantabulous Secret Garden was going to end this week (Gloria ends only two weeks after) but I have been saved! By the funny, fast-paced, adorable My Princess.
A romcom about a pennypinching student who discovers she's a long lost princess of Korea, it's everything I want in a drama - funny, oddball, shippy. I enjoyed the first episode but I did not get rabid until the second. The reason? MP's putative OTP - Lee Seul played by Kim Tae Hee and Haeyoung, a diplomat who found her, played by Song Seung Heon.
There are no words for how much I adore this OTP already, after having watched only two eps. Their chemistry sparkles almost as much as their interactions (it's flirty and delicious, not 'intense rip-your-clothes-off' one of Secret Garden but it fits here) - I love their banter and back-and-forth and the fact that they are alredy comfortable with each other and somehow friends - giving love advice and stuffing popcorn and just being wackjobs. Most drama OTPs fall into either 'worship at your feet' or 'bicker and hate until love' and it's nice to see something like this - friendship with undertones.
Plus, did I mention this drama is hilarious?
