Princess and I: Week 2 Review

wellflower's comments: I think in a way, drama, shows and movies are like poems. You show and not tell. This is pretty much the reason why even though I know that Rio is getting ahead of Jao this keeps Jao unbalanced and cold and nasty. However, I don’t feel it. In an episode, the competition between Jao and Rio could have served a greater purpose if it was executed well. However, the show...

Princess and I: Week 1 Review

neonkim's review: For a 30-minute-per-day, wow. We were certainly put through a lot. The highlights of this week are: the Queen and the Vice-King's death, the disappearance of the Princess and her migration to the Philippines, Behati's evil schemes and the build-up of Jao, Mikay and Kiko's characters.
