Prosecutor Princess (2010)

[Ma Hye Ri is a woman with an excellent memory and ability to focus, which allowed her to pass the bar exam with ease. Despite her talents, she is more interested in being fashionable and dislikes hard work so she is far from being an ideal prosecutor and has doubts about her suitability for her job. Through her conflicts with senior colleages and struggles with difficult cases, however, Hye Ri gradually matures into a brilliant prosecutor with a sense of duty and justice.] - Dramawiki

This drama starred Kim So Yeon, fresh from her action drama IRIS. It's quite a big change for her in terms of role play. I haven't finished watching IRIS, but from what I've seen of her character, it was pretty charismatic. But in Prosecutor Princess, she comes off as a bimbo at first glance, but the actress manage to make her character (that can easily become annoying and off-putting) into an endearing and cute prosecutor princess. Kim So Yeon herself is so pretty. As for her co-star Park Shi Hoo, his acting was a little unnatural/stiff for me but overall he was OK.

To be frank, I didn't expect much from this series. It came out about the same time as 2 other dramas, Personal Taste starring Sohn Ye Jin (Summer Scent) and Lee Min Ho, and Cinderella's Sister featuring "Korean Little Sister" Moon Geun Yeong (Autumn in My Heart). I was looking forward to watching Personal Taste, since it's Lee Min Ho's first series after Boys over Flowers, but started with Cinderella's Sister first, which got me hooked for a couple of episodes. Then I waited for all three to finish airing before started watching in earnest. Even though Prosecutor Princess had the lowest viewership ratings out of the three (or perhaps because of that), I was curious of the drama. Statistically, I usually found low-rating dramas sometimes are quite a gem. Prosecutor Princess was no exception. It was way more entertaining than I expected. And of course, happy ending.

Queen Seon Deok - The Characters

Queen Seon Deok is a series that focuses on the 'villains' as much as it focuses on its 'heroes', because a strong and remarkable hero is called such because he/she faced an equally strong and remarkable nemesis. Because there is a strong opponent like Mishil, that Deokman was able to gain experience and wisdom. There are also other characters that play significant roles to both Deokman and Mishil in their quest to gain the throne. For this post, I list some of the main characters and their brief descriptions. Please note that my descriptions of the characters are merely based on the TV series, and not based on actual historical data . Warning: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS . 1) PRINCESS DEOKMAN Princess Deokman (Queen Seon Deok, posthumous) was played beautifully by Lee Yo Won ( Fashion 70's ). Her younger version was played with great vigor by Nam Ji Hyun ( East of Eden, Will It Snow for Christmas? ). She was born a twin, which according to a prophecy will mark the
