Why did I ever think of watching this drama?!? The actors are killing me!! And the script, my gulay! What kind of twisted drama logic is this?! [26 February at 00:11]
Four episodes down and I still can't relate to ANY character. Prosecutor Princess is taking the cake from La Dolce Vita/Bittersweet Life as THE most time-wasting K-Drama ever. At least La Dolce has Lee Dong-Wook in it. Prosecutor Princess has who? Grrr... [26 February at 05:26]
I'm fighting a losing battle. Six episodes and still nothing. [28 February at 22:16]
Three whole months of not watching anything online and I only have you to blame, Prosecutor Princess. You killed my addiction but you know what, I ain't thanking you. And since I'm not one to drop a drama and move on to another just because it's killing me, I will finish you. I got ten more episodes to watch. You, drama, is extremely annoying, do you know that? Haisst! [22 May at 01:35]My Facebook status messages pretty much summarize how I feel about you. The last Korean drama that annoyed the hell out of me was One Fine Day. Annoyance factor was so great that I wanted the leads to die at the finale. No kidding.
I wished the same for you, Prosecutor Princess.
Why do I hate you so much? Ah, let me count the ways.
Animax on cable is currently airing you and teasers led me to believe you are a romantic comedy in the mold of My Girl.
Wrong. Five minutes into the drama and I'm full of regrets. Your female lead is super annoying I can't find it in me to sympathize. Forget sympathy, I can't get her. And she's a lawyer? A prosecutor? She passed the bar exams with a mind that works that way? Come on.
The scene with the molested child still send chills down my spine. One doesn't need a degree in Child Psychology to know that it is the worst approach ever. Even a perfectly normal child wouldn't answer to that line of questioning.
Your male lead is stiff as a board. So is the second male lead. Their characters call for it? Bite me. Lee Dong-Wook is a lawyer with so much emotional issues in Partner but he never appeared to be that stiff. Revenge-seeking Joo Ji-Hoon is also a lawyer in Mawang/The Devil yet he managed to exude charm when needed.
And the princess' office? The first thing that came to mind? Professor Umbridge. Yes, that cat-loving, evil Ministry of Magic official from the Harry Potter series. Is your writer a fan? Of Umbridge, not J.K. Rowling.
Somehow the show's obvious resemblance although toned down, to Legally Blonde escapes my overthinking mind. Well, for one, Elle Woods is stupid-funny, your Ma Hye Ri is annoyingly stupid.
Also, what's with the lead actress' hair? It's... it's... I can't even find the words to describe it. That hairstyle completes the fashionista's overall look? Kill me now.
So what happened to everyone involved in the conspiracy to mislead and hide actual facts in the murder of which the male lead came back to Korea for? Nothing. Serving time in jail clearly isn't your priority.
I do understand what the statute of limitations is. I do. Really. But I have a problem with it being used in a drama like you did, show. There is no comeuppance. No real punishment. In Woo elaborately made all things happen to pin down Ma Sang Tae and it just ended that way?
He went bankrupt? That's enough payment? What about the others?
That's why I mentioned Mawang. What I like and absolutely love in that drama is the final scene of the two actors. They both die in the end. Fitting. Because to let one live and the other survive is doing the drama and its loyal viewers a great disservice. No one deserves to live just as no one deserves to die.
As for you, Prosecutor Princess, I wanted a tragic ending. For putting me through three months of hell. Goong S also made me stop watching at some point. It was boring. I was disappointed because it didn't have the humor and spunk Goong has. But when I decided to finally finish it, there was this sudden shift halfway and it suddenly became interesting. The last ten episodes I remember watching in one night.
You, on the other hand, doesn't pick up anywhere. I don't really understand it. I know a friend who even recommends watching you. Maybe you annoyed me too much at the start that made me shut my mind to anything good about you. I simply didn't give you a chance to recover. Is that the case?
I do not have an answer to that. Maybe. Maybe not. All I know is that I hated you from start to finish. That I didn't get my desired ending just made me, if it's even possible, more frustrated.
For now, I'm glad to be done with you. I'm moving on to another drama. A real rom-com, thank you very much. After that, another rom-com. I guess another one after that. Because you, Prosecutor Princess, totally bombed on me.
