More stills are out from next year’s romantic comedy drama My Princess, starring the very very pretty pairing of Kim Tae-hee (IRIS) and Mr. Hand Towel himself, Song Seung-heon (East of Eden).
The top three images are from the drama’s December 1 outdoor shoot, where the two leads watch a movie together out in the front yard of a vacation home. Since she’s a cheapskate commoner and he’s the rich one (of course!), I’m guessing it’s his place.
The second set of stills are from an earlier shoot, which took place last month. That scene will be seen in the first episode and depicts the couple’s first meeting.
Despite the amount of snark this drama (easily) generates, I have to say I’m looking forward to seeing how it pulls off its premise (or doesn’t): that an ordinary university student suddenly discovers she’s a princess. Will the drama employ some fantasy element, like Goong, that allows modern-day Korea to have a princess? Or are we in for a Princess Diaries setup where she discovers she’s the daughter of some other country’s royal family?
Plus, making her a princess puts her on somewhat more equal footing with the Prince Charming hero, which saves it from being a total Cinderella cliche. Song plays the chaebol businessman diplomat (not even making that up — what, they couldn’t just pick ONE stereotypical character and had to cram three in one?) who falls for her. (Technically, he’s a diplomat who works with foreign royalty, who is also a second-generation chaebol and the sole heir to a major corporation.)
The drama takes up the dreaded Wednesday-Thursday MBC timeslot in January, following the currenly airing Home Sweet Home.

thank you for those lovely pics.. Tae Hee surely a princess, doesn’t she? Uhm, I’m so excited!
This will be the FAIL OF THE YEAR!!
Can’t believe KIm taehee SOng seungheon together in one project !!!
The production must be gone crazy//
Kim Tae-hee sshi is so beautiful – fit for a princess. I go for the Princess Diaries type. Yey!
Even though I snark, I think KTH looks gorgeous!
Not so sure about the drama, but I love the pink polka dotted cup! It’s cute! Haha, and I do find how prince charming is three things in one.
Hahaha I was going to say the same thing about the pink cup. I want one too. And I’m now looking forward to this drama. Although I’m not so fond of the two leads, I like the title and the premise of this drama. Yup, I’m a sucker for such cliche stories.
OHMYGOSH i totally agree x]
i have no idea who the actors/actresses are
and i have no idea what the plot line or anything is
but if you title a drama ‘my princess’ that’s gonna catch my attention ^^
korean princess diaries. omo. love!
and the male lead looks ever so dashing. swoons.
he never ages.
he looks better and better as he grows old no? amazing
This woman is just so pretty… she should’ve shared some of her good looks to me. LoL XD
Although I’m quite afraid about their acting abilities, I’m still looking forward to see this drama because of its beautiful actors. <3
well, dont be….kth is know how to act…i havent seen themale lead but he sure looks dashing and i;m swooning already….weeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!
erratum…kth knows how to act…:)
Told Emily today that the new stills look like coffee ads stills
“He’s a diplomat who works with foreign royalty, who is also a second-generation chaebol and the sole heir to a major corporation” —> I could not ask for more, seriously. I bet he has some hurting childhood story behind and the cliche will be complete.
I’m sure there’s a birth secret somewhere too…
LOL, Spot on!!!
it’s a tragic accident that wasn’t his fault but scarred him nonetheless and now prevents him from trusting, let alone loving anyone…
until….
Lol,,, and don’t forget the evil stepmother.
LOL
How many cliches there are in a drama, I think I will still eat them up.
Can’t live without them, you know
Wow so beautifull kim ta he……song seung heon looks so handsome,,, I think they are perfect couple,,,,
I hope they can make improve for this drama,,,,,,
I’m exciting,,,,,
on a serious note though…
Why is Song Seung Heon so freaking BEAUTIFUL! look at pic 2! for crying out loud!!
Why am i in UK while he’s in SK!
WHY??!!!
Chukwunna Biko!! let this drama do well…at least for his sake…
My GOD that is one pretty man! This drama is gonna be contest who looks the prettiest, my money’s on Song Seung Heon.
man does he look good in a 3 piece suit (and out of one!).
and she really is too pretty.
i’ll watch to see if they have improved at all acting-wise, but i won’t set my expectations too high (or high at all).
i love Song Seung heon
i can’t wait to watch this drama:)
Those are two VERY pretty people.
am i the only one who thinks in certain stills he looked like one of the big bang guys? haha.
pretty faces! hope it’ll be good
You mean Seungri? Haha. Yeah.
He does! Haha. Song is just 3x or more hotter than him.
oh it sounds like a Thai cliche type of drama ===> which i absolutely adore cuz it’s SOO unreal! ^^ can’t wait! The bad acting would be even more hilarious…
actually, this premise just might work for me..i’m okay with fantasy
This one was posted on the MBC Facebook page. Funny… ^_^

Oh My God. You have got to be kidding me. This is beyond than what I expected for this show’s premise. This picture is priceless.
Not a big KTH fan, but I love SSH so I’ll probably check it out.
My, my. He sure is beautiful.
I’m glad that I’ve made such a thoughtful, thought-provoking contribution to this thread. kekeke
Although I’m not a fan of either actor, I’m looking forward to seeing how the two hold up in a rom-com-y drama.
AH! (chuckles) Very funny picture of this couple – to #16 YEN
Oooh, Kim Tae Hee seems very similar to me when she’s still beautiful for a loooonnggg time – without being old, lolz. =D =D
I hope this drama will be very interesting and fun, ofc.
Eye candy if nothing else.
yes that dreadful timeslot.. it might be cursed I tell ya. What’s Up better not land on MBC either way.. No no no no.. Let the rumor be true that it will be on SBS with March as broadcast date.
LOLz ahaha thats so true three cliches in one for SSH…
OMFG!
I just realized why Song Seung-heon looks so familiar to me even though I don’t recall seeing him in any dramas.
The dude looks eerily similar to my RA.
O_O Holy crap!
What college do you go to? Are there chaebols and hardworking stunt women as well?
lulz forreals
Actually I heard that the son of LG’s CEO goes here although I don’t know why because my school isn’t an Ivy. . .
BUT! The surrounding colleges apparently have kids who are all loaded. . .I just go to big ‘ol state university.
I’m so jealous. My RA was definitely not that hot.
She is pretty, but not elegant!! She is beautiful, but not charming!! She is cute, but not adorable!! She is attractive, but lack the aura of true Princess Diana or Jiwoohime!!
Oh my god. That second picture. Wow.
Jesus christ my eyes will burn out watching this drama. Too much insanely good looking-ness being emitted from both of them.
Werd.
Really excited about this drama. I kinda want it to be January so we can see it already. Since it’s the same writer as Secret Garden I’m thinking we might have something there. Tae-Hee and Seung Heon in their first ever rom-com-looking forward to it!
omg, two of the top celebrities on my prettiest people list in a drama together as the leading couple?? wowweee. I’m actually looking forward to this!
they’re both looking really good in those stills.. I guess the asymmetrical hair cut is the trend these days, huh? oh well, it still looks good on SSH
Hahaha I’m sorry but looking at the 2nd and 3rd pic again, instead of being mesmerized by SSH’s looks (which I never really find attractive, I have no idea why), my eyes fell on his chest, and noticed his manboobs on those pics. He’s obviously wearing a white tank, but it emphasizes his man boobs more, making him look like wearing a bra (but he’s not). I tried comparing it to Hyun Bin’s header (since it was the one featured), but Binnie emits sexiness in that pic with the tattered shirt, while SSH’s exudes.. manliness in a girly kind of way? LOL.
LOL MANBOOBS. omg you ruined the sexiness for me…….
OMG HAHAHHA
My eyes cannot unsee what they have seen. You have officially ruined my sexy image of him! lol.
He look like he is totally wearing a bra. O_o
Yeah, that makes 4 of us.. shouldn’t have scrolled up to see the pics
oh wow, that makes 5 of us now. he even looks like he’s wearing a training bra!
…CANNOT UNSEE O_O
Sily ,this is a silk shirt!
please look on net his well shaped body and how gorgeous he is…….
Dear Unicorns, please let this drama be good. I wanna enjoy Kim Tae Hee as an actor and not just a pretty face because I can’t stand her awkward acting.
I DON’T CARE ANYMORE; I’LL BE SHALLOW AND WATCH THIS BECAUSE THEY BOTH ARE SO YUMMY IN THESE STILLS
Best looking couple evar.
A for HONESTY!!! lols!
That’s my only reason for watching Kim Tae Hee all this time ’cause I’m shallow like that. haha!
Before these picture are leaked, I don’t have any intentions to watch this drama. I don’t like Autumn Story and IRIS because of them.
But now, I’m so awe to their prettiness, so I definitely put this drama on my 2011 calender. I just hope they can bring this drama just like Song Hye Kyo and Rain in Full House.
I have a feeling the same camera from Dr Champ was used for this drama.
Can I just be a lulzy fan for once by saying this?
STOP FILMING YOU TWO, GET MARRIED AND MAKE BEAUTIFUL BABIES ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mmm.. that’s enough for now.
from the stills, KTH seems to show some promise – she’s got different facial expressions in each photo. not so SSH – he has the same facial expression in all the photos – his eyes still has no life, no spark in them.
LOL at the man-boobs, and yes – he’s wearing a bra!
I just saw Kim Tae Hee looking absolutely gorgeous in the new french cafe ads with my love Kang Dong Won, making me wish they would do something together.
I think this will be a big hit next year.
what is he eating in the third pic?
and i like the pic of where she’s looking up at him and
pouting, haha it’s cute
i honestly dont care how good (or bad) this drama is, it’ll
be pure fluff if worse comes to worse.
So I intend on enjoying it (:
“chaebol businessman diplomat”– i know there are chaebols in real life (though never as young and goodlooking in kdramas), does such a triple combination exist in real life? How would your regular work week go like? Mondays-FRidays at the office and weekends diplomating around the world?
Call me a Hater, but I freaking Loathe Her! I don’t like anything about her except her Eyes.. She’s so…. unlikable. (not sure if it’s a word but that’s how I perceive it).
as for SSH…. I hope he’ll not kill it like East of Eden with the abhorrent coldness and immovability! What a Drag. They’re called stars for their physical appearance only.
Oh gawd its prettiness overload! Are you recapping this Javabeans?
I’m (obviously) in the minority here, but I don’t find either attractive in the least. However, after sitting through the first episode of Playful Kiss, I know I can handle anything so I’ll at least give this drama a try.
Think it would flop in Korea? so what? KTH and SSH’s got a huge following in other Asian countries. I’m not a fan of both..but i like them together, and yes finally, in a comedy drama. Just like to see them in a light role, rather than heavy..way too heavy dramas …
extremely beautiful duo
im not feeling this. but KTH sure looks so good here. she got her name mention on secret garden like twice lol.
if javabeans recommends this drama id probably check it out.
Two beautiful people. One fluffy drama. OK you know I’m going to watch this one. I’m keeping my expectations very low for this. Drama, please pleasantly surprise me
Since he is a diplomat we will be seeing a lot of three piece suits. Just add in a pair of trendy glasses and Diadda and I will be in heaven. Tee Hee
If this is a trainwreck, I am so watching lol
awe…they look cute together
hehe loved reading all your comments…its so much fun…i am so watching this and its just for the prettyness……just hoping for some fireworks between the main leads
um really pretty pictures but idk about the acting hahahaha oh well will look forward to this!
