Park Ye-jin (Queen Seon-deok) will be joining the production of romantic-comedy drama My Princess as the girlfriend to rich boy Song Seung-heon, the grandson and heir to Daehan Group. Park’s father is the head secretary of Daehan Group’s CEO, while she works at a museum.
Since Kim Tae-hee has already been cast as the lead, this means that their relationship is doomed; Park will inevitably lose out to her rival. But don’t feel too bad for her; she’s a “femme fatale” type of careerwoman who has her eye on success and uses Song Seung-heon’s love as a strategic advantage. At least, until another woman enters the picture and gets her jealousy rarin’: Kim Tae-hee plays an ordinary woman who becomes “Korea’s princess” — and in this drama, we mean princess literally, not as a nickname. Park Ye-jin is spurred into action to reclaim Song Seung-heon, but we know that it’ll be too late.
Given the description, the character seems like a thoroughly unlikable type, so I’m banking on Park Ye-jin to make her the love-to-hate-her type, which is ever so much more fun than the standard hate-her-get-her-off-my-screen kind of manipulating meddler.
Directing My Princess is PD Kwon Seok-jang of romantic comedies Pasta and What’s Up Fox, and co-writing is Kim Eun-sook, who just premiered her current project, the fun and zippy Secret Garden. The other writer, Jang Young-shil, also worked on writer Kim’s On Air and Lovers.
My Princess will air in January as a Wednesday-Thursday MBC show. (Gulp. Will it break the so-called curse? Or have we lost another one to the MBC midweek black hole?)

bad photoshop of park ye jin. i had to really look at her face to see if its really her then i noticed the right hand seems kinda odd. but i love too see park ye jin playing the femme fatale coz i like her strong character in “hate you but once again.”
Heck, I think it’s a horrible picture of her. Period. X/
But I want her in a leading role soon.
Acting wise, Park Ye-Jin will eat Kim Tae-hee alive!
Aye
i agree!
totally agree!
agree 100%…
lol…….. that’s so true
cannot agree more ^^
heh heh … she’ll eat bBOTH Kim Tae Hee AND Song Seung Hun alive.
i like your comment!!
couldnt agree more..!!
I absotively posolutely agree. XD
couldn’t you guys use a better picture. this one doesn’t do any justice!
I agree. She looks really weird in this picture. I love her since Hateful but Once Again, she is great! I wish she had the lead, but I’m sure she will steal the show!
storyline sounds interesting, will definetly be looking forward to this series especially the main cast are ssh and kth. fighting!
Gulp. Will it break the so-called curse? Or have we lost another one to the MBC midweek black hole?
I’d say no and yes, it’s doomed. But hey, you never know, miracles can happen.
i love Song Seung-heon . I want to watch this drama .I wait
awww mannnnn–she should’ve been the lead! -_-
i’d love her to be a lead in dramas too but i wouldn’t want her to be so if all she has to do is to look pretty without depth to her character (which would’ve suited Kim Tae Hee perfectly cos there’s not much acting to do).
i know!!!! she should’ve been the lead and kim tae-hee the second…
“Gulp. Will it break the so-called curse? Or have we lost another one to the MBC midweek black hole?”
WELL, if it was just Song Seung-heon & Kim Tae-hee – i would’ve said it’s lost. BUT with Park Ye-jin’s addition, i feel that they have a good chance – hoping that the writers will pull through though.
not to be mean, but i really think that kim tae hee can not act at all. I really would have wish that park ye-jin was the first lead actress rather kim tae hee….
I think it’ll break the course, it’s totally gonna hit the adults to watch it. A lot of grannies love SSH! Ratings should be at least decent for this one !
I can’t wait for it:)
I love PYJ as an actress and a person (i.e Family Outing <3!). And no doubt that she is a far better actress than KTH, who I find is incredibly boring. I'm rooting for PYJ's character already …
i wish ye jin was the lead! she can do so much better than kim tae hee (sorry, imo, she can’t act)…but i’ll definitely check this out for ye jin!
yes a very bad photo of her indeed. i just loved her in family outing and i seriously didnt even recognised her in that photo.
Kim Tae Hee is a female lead…I know people say she can’t act but I just like her onscreen, regardless. Can’t wait to see SSH in a rom-com, I think he’s really funny and is drop dead gorgeous. They could be brother and sister, though, they look alike. I”m so glad SSH has age appropriate female leads lately, I like Lee Yeon Hee and all but there was just something about their pairing that was skeevy to me,dunno why. I quess it’s trendy for male actors to act with female leads ten years younger than them and even female lead actresses to act with younger male stars and I didn’t mind other pairing with that difference…guess it’s just my jealousy, hehe.
Yahoo! I love Park Ye-Jin. I can’t wait to hate her in My Princess LOL considering she’s so sweet in real life especially on Family Outing
i know for a fact the director REALLY wanted yejin. he even waited until her schedule with HEAD was finished for her addition. : )
her character seems to be extremely headstrong. the first thing i thought about was What Happened in Bali. LOL
i’m just excited she’s back! <3
What is the MBC midweek curse about? Haven’t heard of it before…you mean the shows that they air during that period all have sucky ratings?
Dunno why, but I have a rather irrational determination to like this show. The storyline sounds cliche (chaebol and all) but perhaps PYJ will be its saving grace.
Rather HER keep Song Seung Hun than Kim Tae Hee, who I find is overrated for an actress!
Like the rest of you, I, too, wished that Park Ye Jin was the lead actress and not Kim Tae Hee.
aigoo, the other hand looks scary. wonder is that’s the unedited hand now.
The picture doesn’t give her justice! Just saw her latest clinique photoshoot and she doesn’t look that old.
Anyways, anyone knows what is the agency of PYJ? How come she’s always stuck with these crappy roles? Why can’t her agency cast her as a lead in a drama? They should’ve took advantage of the enormous popularity she gained in Family Outing but instead they cast her in HBOA – the script was just so bad and you can’t really call that as her own drama because the veteran actors took the screen time, then they cast her in QSD – again she’s not the lead and her character was out of the show too fast. She’s been in the industry for a long time already, she deserves more than this.
“Anyways, anyone knows what is the agency of PYJ?”
Bae Yong Joon’s agency BOF. They specialize in putting their actors in Hallyu shows, such as this one, and promoting them internationally.
PYJ’s contract with BOF/Keyeast expired already and she didn’t renew it, I don’t know what’s her agency now.
I agree that BOF didn’t really took care of PYJ properly. BOF is one of the big talent agencies in Korea, like Namoo and SidusHQ. I expected that they can cast her as the lead of a big drama but alas, looks like PYJ is not of their priorities.
Anyhow, I wish the best for her.
I agree KTH is boring and brings nothing to the screen as an actor. This isn’t meant as a dig but I do wonder how she keeps pulling leads.
I don’t know much about Park Ye Jin outside of Family Outing and I didn’t recognize her in the photo. I don’t think I will be watching this.
She’s (Kim Tae Hee) just dull.
Honestly, I don’t get why so many Koreans are infatuated with her… I find her ‘natural’ beauty overrated, too, or maybe I’m still bitter that her character in IRIS still ended up with Hyun Jung–should’ve been with SeonHwa instead but I blame it mainly for the IRIS writers poor writing and character/romantic development between Hyun Jung & SeonHwa.
huge man hand there….ahahah but the drama seems ok so far.
i’d rather watch Park Ye Jin in a lead role in a more interesting-sounding drama, but if she’s in this drama, then it’s worth trying it out. she’ll surpass both KTH and SSH in acting no doubt….
also, why are there so many female characters “working in a museum”? i mean there are other jobs out there, you know. just sayin’, is all.
as much as I like Park Ye Jin, I still can’t stand both SSH & KTH, so a skip for sure
Park Ye Jin will sure pwn both SSH and KTH.
SO sad that she;s not the female lead. I hope she can get a lead role one day! (Loved her in Hateful But Once Again)
well at least there’s someone who could really act that’s added in the production but still i hope that pyj’s character would not be a waste in this prod… actually im more intrigued with the second lead actors (pyj and rsy which is reunited after many years since their last prod)…
omg, her hands look disgusting…
im curious to see how this drama turns out. i dont think
the ratings will be very high, but i wonder if there will be any chemistry between SSH and KTH. Let’s sure hope so *crosses fingers*
… oh and this picture of her is SOOO unflattering! Seriously.
this actress obviously has had something done on her face looks so unnatural, esp her nose!
i luv song seong hyun though so i will defin. watch but argh this actress looks scary!
..ye jin? scary?! yeah with knives she is indeed scary! she wouldn’t be called “savage ye jin” for nothing! but nahhhh…she’s gorgeous!..and yes i’m poster #13 and 2.4 from up above…you really had to use the same username don’t you?! LOL!
please i want song seung hun and lee yeon hee togethere in korean drama…..
