intro: U-PRINCE is a series of 12 series, each having 4 * 1 hour episodes, and features one young man's journey in finding love in his life.. it's set in the environment of university, and to some extent all the stories are connected, since all young men are making an appearance in other's stories as side characters.
That said, you don't really have to follow the "order of appearance", but, for those who like to keep things chronological, this it the order:
Part 1 : Handsome Cowboy
Part 2 : Gentle Vet
Part 3 : Lovely Geologist
Part 4 : Bad-ass Baker
Part 5 : Absolute Economist
Part 6 : Foxy Pilot
Part 7 : Playful Comm-Arts
Part 8 : Extroverted Humanist
Part 9 : Single Lawyer
Part 10 : Crazy Artist
Part 11 : Badly Politics
Part 12 : Ambitious Boss
Generally, these are ALL cute stories, made to make you smile.

The third part on the list (if you're taking the List) and this Show is all about not being ashamed to walk right out of bed and brave the world in your pajamas. No, no.. but, you will get to see an array of fluffy outfits, worn by our dear ML. Most will watch this one for the ML. Since, he's the childish, naive, faithful and bright.
FL is real.
I have read comments about her, and some of her decisions, regarding her boyfriend (the one that "treats her badly", as synopsis states). To those, I have to answer: she is being real. Those struggles are REAL. Real people do that, real girls do think about "turning a blind eye" in more than one situation, because they are afraid of being alone, they think of being ridiculed & losing social status, and they consider what might be lost if they just leave.
Leaving is never easy.
Being left is also hard.
This part of the U-prince Series is about being left and leaving. More than "cuteness overdose" (and, mind me, on a moody, rainy, foggy and cold winter's day, one can appreciate the cute little 4 hour show just as much as hot cocoa!) Still, when you get to your senses, you will dig deeper and see some effects of early childhood abandonment trauma. You will also see that material items can never be the thread connecting the people.
It's people that we need, to make new memories with, even though they may not understand every single dinosaur sub-species. :)
The story is nice and linear, with some fragments of past that help us understand why in the world would we see our ML meeting our FL by hanging from her front gate?! Having a cameo of Gentle Vet is also a nice touch, to tie things up.
Oh, and: can my late teen self, please have a mom like that? Seriously, people.. that level of compassion and understanding; lady, you are an angel.. and should have more kids. :)


By the way, did you know what a fossil is:
"Fossil means the preserver remains of an organism" ..watch the Show if you want to know why is this the most memorable sentence to me.
