The 'cheerful and nothing-can-bring-me-down' female character meets the grandson of a conglomerate. He tries to turn her into a princess and the two fall in love. That is how you could summarize MBC's "My Princess". To add on just a little more detail, Lee Seul (played by Kim Tae-hee) is a stingy female college student who is of royal descent and diplomat Park Hye-young (played by Song Seung-hun) becomes her tutor to make her a princess per the request of his grandfather (played by Lee Soon-jae) in order to restore their imperial family.



"This production has to do well since MBC's Wednesday and Thursday mini-series have struggled over the past two years", Song Seung-hun said at the press conference for "My Princess" held on December 3. However, what is more important is what the drama means to both actors. Kim Tae-hee may be a top star but when it comes to her acting skills she has not received positive reviews and "My Princess" will test whether she has what it takes to be an actress even though her last movie "Grand Prix" was a box office failure.

Also, it is her chance to show something new and appealing through this character as she portrays the loveable and idiotically charming Lee Seul, breaking away from her 'little miss perfect' image which has shown through her past works such as SBS' "Love Story in Harvard" and KBS' "IRIS". In that sense, Kim, who said she naturally pulled out the comical side to her by looking back on the clumsy and four-dimensional character she played in a mobile phone commercial, seems to have been relatively successful at the transformation as seen in scenes from the trailer where she dances to Girls' Generation's song "Hoot" and uses vegetables to cover her eyes when she sees Song's half-naked body.
