Drama Casting & News
My Princess’s snowy winter date
by | December 15, 2010 | 50 Comments

More pretty stills for Song Seung-heon and Kim Tae-hee, who headline the MBC romantic comedy My Princess. So far the stills have been beautiful, with soft lighting and flattering colors — if nothing else, I’m expecting this drama to be a feast for the eyes.

In the lead-up to this scene, Kim Tae-hee’s character, cheapskate university student Lee Seol, receives word of her father after waiting for him to pick her up. The news comes via Hae-young’s (Song Seung-heon grandfather, played by Lee Soon-jae, and is presumably the bad kind, especially since the scene involves Lee Seol shedding tears.

In the scene pictured, she opens up about her feelings for the first time to Hae-young, who starts to recognize that he has feelings for her as he looks on sympathetically.

 
Meanwhile, the following photos come from the set location at Konyang University in Nonsan, South Chungcheong Province. Konyang is the university attended by Lee Seol in the drama, so a number of the shoots will feature the campus. Second lead Ryu Soo-young (Lawyers of Korea) plays Nam Jung-woo, a trusted professor at the school who harbors feelings for Kim Tae-hee, though they remain the one-sided kind.

The fourth side of this love square will be played by Park Ye-jin, a cold careerwoman and former girlfriend to Ryu’s character who isn’t above manipulating Song Seung-heon’s character as she wants. So, pretty much a typical second female lead for this Cinderella story. Let’s hope that Park and all her talents can breathe some new life into this stereotype.

My Princess premieres on January 5 on MBC.

    I can’t wait for this to come out too. I’m not on the hate boat for this at all, more like the excite boat.

    • 2.1 gala

      same here. i actually like my romance-dramas to be pretty light, not too angsty. so far, the premise for this drama is something that interests me. and i wouldnt even be watching this for the eye-candy since i may find KTH pretty, but i dont find SSH handsome. as for the acting, i know what to expect.

      maybe, just maybe, both leads will surprise and deliver an impressive chemistry!

  3. Carinne

    Such a Winter Wonderland.^ , ^

  4. Rubysing

      • 8.1.1 Anjo

        on topic: I don’t know what I feel about this drama… I saw the trailer and hm… I don’t know what to feel at all..

        • 8.1.1.1 noor

          eh i was in a hurry…..to watch the trailer…can’t believe i got the spelling wrong for one of my favourite animes

          but on topic: its just something light. which is why i am watchin it. hopefully it would be better than MSOLN coz that drama has wonderful actors but very bad plot.

          MSOAL
          good actors + bad plot= cute trainwreak

          My princess
          ok actors + hopefully good plot= cute trainwreak

          so i am wishing for a train in the end
          but you know you want to watch it because of the beautiful people.

      • 10.2.1 Casie J.

        I know! LOL. When I heard the music I was like. . .wha?

        But Kim Tae Hee’s laugh at the end was hilarious. ^^

        • 10.2.1.1 D

          the laugh sounds downright witchy… which is not a bad thing for KTH :-)

          • 10.2.1.1.1 Casie J.

            Is it bad that I’ve been replaying that one part over and over? LOL. XD

          • 10.2.1.1.2 Jo

            LOL.
            She was like “It must be my destiny…HAHAHA”
            MY GAWWD. That laugh floors me every time.

        • 10.2.1.2 noob

          Oh man,,, the story is so cliche but that’s what I’m craving hahah (I also expect lots of goodies from the Secret Garden writer)… I ended up laughing out loud myself when KTH laughed at the end! thanks for the trailer link ;)

          • 10.2.1.2.1 ni

            i dont think kim eun sook is writing this – its actually her assistant writer who’s making her solo debut in this drama.

    • 10.3 Shorties

      omg i got rick rolled!!!!

    • 10.4 Dory

      Can’t wait, seems exciting enough!

    • 10.5 blahblahblah

      omg thank you so much! it looks soo cute!
      i really like KTH in the trailer, SSH can just look pretty.
      it looks real sweet and fluffy, and as long as it stays that way I’ll be a happy camper ^^

  11. 11 ni

    lol i guess someone else is already posting the link. yup, trailer is out, and dare i say…it doesnt look half bad! :D KTH is adorable. I think as long as they dont try too hard this is gonna be an easy watch – easy on the eyes, mostly ^_^

  12. 12 kay

    just saw the trailer and i am still excited. i just want some good sweet fluff!

  13. 13 Alyssia

    omg Kim Tae Hee’s head band is so cute. So is her outfit. I’m loving her already!!!!!! Even if their acting is bad i think i will still like it. I love rom-com. Especially since the two leads are so cute!!!!!hahah

  14. 14 Cam

    I can’t wait to watch this drama ssoooooon (in Jan), heh! =) =)

    This drama will KEEP us to become addict to watch this, yups!

  16. 16 D

    the trailer is cute – i might watch it..

    it has been a while since I last oggle SSH, kekekekeke

  17. 17 Lilian

    The story doesn’t sound promising … yet. But the eye candy is very promising.

  18. 18 myxmo

    I can’t believe I’m saying this but…

    I might have to watch it for Kim Tae-hee. Who would’ve thought that she can be this funny?

  19. 19 dzigh

    Gosh, will SSH ever age?

    He does look the same as always as far as I remember.

  20. 20 parsifal

    i have a feeling that kim tae hee may not suck in this one

    • 20.1 noob

      hahah nice.. but kinda sad at the same time LOL

  21. 21 Jo

    I just watched the trailer, and i have hope. I think Kim Tae Hee can do well.

    Idk, whenever I read this blog I always think that Kim Tae Hee is horrible…but its not too bad…not bad at all.
    And she doesnt try to be cutesy. Just really fun in her own way.
    haha

  22. 22 Ashley

    Why do they always have the same four characters in every romantic drama?

  23. 23 Anonymous

    loving kth here so far. but now ssh. did he have botox injections? his facial muscles doesn’t move at all!!!!!

    • 23.1 ohkinae

      seems like his character is like that is more of the serious type. thus the lack of emotion-expression.
      but honestly his acting isn’t that great to begin with. its nice to see tae hee try a light comedy. i hope her acting improves cause otherwise the supporting cast will be acting for the main actors

      • 23.1.1 Anonymous

        EoE is currently airing in my country, was able to catch a few eps here and there. SSH’s facial expression in the few EoE eps I saw is similar to his facial expression in the above stills. Seriously, the guy has only one facial expression!

  24. 24 AB

    Song Seung Hoon, Kim Tae Hee (although acting-wise this lady is not really a good actress; but I do love her) and Park Ye Jin!! OMG. Yejin unnie, hopefully you’ll consider to comeback to variety show one day. I miss the Nation’s sisters

  25. 25 macha

    I don(t know if it has been said, but the plot evoques me a lot the romance novel by Laura Lee Guhrke ‘she’s no princess”. I don’t know for sure but I think it’s a first time they take an american’s novel to make a drama.

  26. 26 kpopfan

    The lighting and setting kind of reminds of last years’ Will It Snow for Christmas.

  27. 27 michi

    patiently waiting for the stills of Ryu Su Young and Park Ye Jin!!!!

  28. 28 Observer

    Still, I don’t like girls with big eyes!!

  29. 29 Plan Bi

    I have been looking forward to this for months, since the leads were announced.

    Not crazy about KTH but I do love SSH. I have been reading lots of comments that these 2 wooden blocks cant act to save their lives. Can’t say I disagree I think SSH looks suave. I really liked him in East of Eden.

    Plus, I think dramas made in winter have an advantage – the leads get to strut around in stylish winter coats. More stylo !

    There are so many reasons I am eagerly anticpating the premiere – a rom-com, SSH and the stylish wardrobe. Now, all we need is a good plot !

    hopefully this will come out soon..im dying to see the following episodes…
