Posters and promo stills from The Princess’s Man
by | July 16, 2011 | 42 Comments

Romantic sageuk The Princess’s Man will be offering up a change of pace for Wednesdays and Thursdays when it takes over the slot vacated by the just-ended Romance Town this week. While that drama was lighter-spirited, this one will dial up the tragic romance and melodrama with its Romeo & Juliet premise. (The story: Two youngsters fall in love, but their fathers are on opposing sides of a political tug-of-war with the throne at stake.)

It also joins the new crop of sageuk dramas on the block, taking us from a rom-com-filled spring to a period-piece summer. Currently, we’ve got fusion action sageuk Warrior Baek Dong-soo on Mondays and Tuesdays, while King Gwanggaeto has been airing on weekends for several weeks. Soon we’ll have another Monday-Tuesday offering, Kye Baek — and then the anticipated Tree With Deep Roots come September. Phew! That’s a lotta sageuk.

In any case, it’s nice to see some smiling faces and friendly behind-the-scenes shots, given that The Princess’s Man is bound to wring a few tears (or maybe buckets) once its fated-lovers storyline kicks into full angst mode. Despite the mood of the drama, Park Shi-hoo shared that the atmosphere on set is comfortable, since he and co-star Moon Chae-won have known each other for a while prior to this series, going back to their rookie days. And really, how cute are they together?

The Princess’s Man premieres on July 20, and runs for 24 episodes.

      Historical dramas are the BEST! You should totally watch this drama even if it isn’t for Shi Hoo. It has an excellent story line (if hero doesn’t die at the end) and also, the main characters are mainly cute. :)

    I can’t wait for this drama. Hopefully the script writer made this drama differently from the actual Romeo and Juliet. I can’t be watching this drama and lastly the hero dies and i’m like what the heck, just wasted several weeks for this.. but, i’m excited, looking forward to watch this drama. :)

      Well, if they stick to the story, both of them die, the heroine, too.

      Meh, don’t think this is my cup of tea, though I’m not writing it off yet ^^

    Something loks different about Chae-Won. Hmmm…well, its the first time seeing her in a sageuk so maybe that’s why.

      Actually, this is her 2nd time in a sageuk.
      Her 1st time was as a gisaeng in “Painter of the Wind”

    I’m so watching this! I’ve been anticipating my lovely Shi Hoo’s new work ^^ I just need to go buy a couple boxes of tissue, at least from what I saw on one of the previews: “the moment the love begins, the twisted fate also begins”
    and also “..most beautiful and sad love story”

    I’m a sucker for beautiful and sad love stories,you see! My fate is sealed… let the crying begin!

    I can’t get enough of Park Shi-hoo!!! I finally got around to watching Queen of Reversals and he’s killing me in it. He has never been hotter/cuter/gah everything. I’m definitely watching this one! I’ll just prepare my tissues ahead of time. :’(

    **Sigh**

    This one really looks good and I know I’mma gonna be watching…Tissue box in hand.

    I’m currently watching Warrior BDS – it’s FABULOUS (so far)- the “big Duo” makes their debut next episode. The child actors have done a terrific job in the series set-up, and I’ve said it before, but the boy who plays “assassin boy” (for lack of a better term) is a dead ringer for a young Song Il Guk. Hope someone in dramaland picks up on the resemblance and tags this kid for further work.

    So, all this sageuk wealth is here – and I’m wondering the same shallow thing. Where in the heck is our Bummie?
    He’s got the Mane of Glory ready to go – isn’t he being offered any parts?

      I so agree! I was having Yeom Moon flashbacks anyway, and it didn’t help that the kid really does resemble SIG. :)

      So far loving WBDS. I hope the show doesn’t push the veterans too far into the back ground. Because it seems to me that there is a TON of backstory there. I could watch a drama on their stories alone.

    I LOVE their clothes…the colors are so pretty :)

    Although it looks promising, I’m trying to take a break from angsty dramas for a while.
    *cough-49-Days-and-last-few-episodes-of-City-Hunter-cough*
    lol, ;)

    I do love sageuks, though, so I may watch The Princess’s Man later. And I’m also interested in Tree With Deep Roots…sorry from straying from the main topic, but does anyone know for sure how many episodes Tree With Deep Roots will be? I’ve heard 24 episodes and I’ve also heard 50 episodes…

    Yay, it premieres this week! I’m so ready for it, despite summer finals coming around the corner. >< I'm mostly excited for the return of Park Si Hoo (ok, it hasn't really been THAT long since QoR, but feels like it's been a lifetime o_o), the costumes, and the OST. Some of my favorite artists will be on there, including Park Jung Min and Baek Ji Young. ^^I can sense the epic-ness. Park Si Hoo *woot*

    Looks like The Princess’s Man is being actively promoted compared to other KBS dramas.

    …and really, substituting the balcony scene with the Geunjeongjeon terrace, and the suicide scene with one on the roof?

    So breathtaking, and more daring, than just plain ol’ poison and dagger…more way to catch attention…
