Overall Review: Cliché but brilliant, The Prince Who Turns Into Frog.
Is the title a misnomer? No.
Brilliant.
This was one of my starting Taiwanese dramas, and to be fair since I wasn't too knowing of cliches I liked the whole plot, but what I didn't realize at the time was the plot included a lot of brillaintness and it wasn't all too cliche as I thought. For my 27th or more time rewatching this, I heard that Netlix had this off their shelves on July 31st so I decided to make a review before I'm stuck rewatching this in a poor quality. Ah, Netflix I trusted you.
This drama is very cliché, but also brilliant in a way they made fun of their own troupes to be honest and that was refreshing.
Double Amnesia handled in a funny way? Yes.
I have to give it to Ming Dao this time, I'm sorry Joe Chen I love you (in a non homo way, support lgbtq+ but I'm straight haha) and you are a great actress. Ming Dao, to this day I still remain as one of your fans.
2015 Moonlight was starting off with her obsession to Asian dramas, after encountering her first drama In Between (Taiwanese) she was hooked. This was her 4th drama, and one that strike her into the world of clichés as Moonlight had watched fairly refreshing dramas without many clichés before.
Let me start, Ming Dao acted perfectly as Shan Jun Hao and Dang Ou, that even our female lead had to accept that "they were not the same person." Jun Hao was our typical male lead, but I also thought that the writers were brilliant for making him this guy who was a typical male lead but you can see from the very start that there is more to him than our typical male lead. Dang Ou was the start of basically nice guy male leads at least in cliché dramas, these two could not be more than polar opposites and your probably not aware that the same person could be polar opposites unless they are diagnosed with Bipolar depression, to be honest I would have though Jun Hao was without the memory loss part.
Joe Chen and Ming Dao had amazing chemistry together, yes of course apart from the par kisses since it was 2005, Joe Chen has good chemistry with both Ming Dao, and Sam Wang. Though I prefer her with the former, I really enjoyed their chemistry and they are one of my cutest OTP's in T-drama land. Though, I might have to say Joe Chen has really enjoyable chemistry with all of her male lead's I could say she is a rare actress who was chemistry with everyone.
Of course, again we have our fair share of clichés and I think to truly enjoy this, you might need to be at the start of your drama career or looking for something normal in the fair of dramas (Cliché).
Even though this was very cliché, I thought they were brilliant in fact another drama which was brilliant but very cliché is My Name is Kim Sam Soon which is GREAT, you could also see that with our female lead here of course she has a heart of pure gold, but what's better is that she doesn't show it she conceals her emotions, she might come off as nosy, mean and annoying but once she meets Dang Ou who is a memory loss situation you can tell that she isn't someone who is a gold digger but someone who truly will protect her loved ones even if it means taking the bullet or losing a rich guy for them. Great acting by Joe Chen.
This is was a mega hit in Taiwan and I could see why.

Rewatch Value+ Music + Final Thoughts : Though it's generic and the music might be absolutely hilarious along with the drama, the romance and character will take you in for a brilliant surprise. To be honest, I'm not a person who even remotely looks for a romantic comedy at any time because I've fallen into the melodramatic terms a long time ago, but when I feel sad and when I need that cure of happiness I come to this to rewatch it, and since I've rewatched it 27 times, yes I'm crazy honestly if this isn't one of your first dramas I don't think you would be able to rewatch as many times as me, but 16 year old Moonlight went crazy for this mess, and 21 year old Moonlight is still crazy about this mess. It's truly a great feeling reviewing one of your starter dramas. Of course, I am a queen at rewatching stuff too. So when I heard Netflix was taking this off their shelf, I'm really sad so what can be better than rewatching it crazily. Moonlight, and other viewers brace yourself for poor quality whenever your going to watch this from now on unless you decide to start it right this moment, and I would recommend to do exactly that because you would rewatch it straight after because you would be sad Netflix is taking this off their shelves, MORE REWATCHING YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing can cheer you up more, I promise unless they are cute cats on youtube or your favorite Kpop Idol. Okay Enough, I made a long review you don't have hear more nonsense.
