I am a huge fan of screen junkies' honest trailers and cinema sins' everything wrong with... so I decided to write this review in a style similar to their videos. I call it an EVERYTHING HONEST REVIEW.
In a classic drama about how accidents can bring two otherwise incompatiable people togther comes Prince Turns to Frog. A story that became the foundation of some of the biggest cliches in Taiwanese drama such as main male lead getting amensia(Autumn's Concerto) and a pretty second lead that would be better than the first lead if she wasn't a bitch or pyscho(Just You, Why Why Love, When Loved Walked In, Fated To Love You, Drunken to Love you...you get it).
Meet Tain Yu(Chen Joe) the perfect example of how NOT to be a gold digger as she helps birds fly back into their nest, give useful advice to people, help people in need, and actually works. She is a girl looking for her prince charming despite being an adult in the working world. Meet Shan Jun Hao an arrgoant rich guy who has an inner nice side named Dao Ou. More importantly meet his abs which I cannot show you at this moment. These two unlikely characters will have the love life that is way better than twilight only to be ruined by the two most depressing second lead characters ever. EVER. Only to be saved by plot conviences and sweet loving words.
I can't lie. I love this drama. It gets a pass for being cliche considering that it came out in a time where it wouldn't be considered cliche(2005). Also I hope you guys know I am kidding about the whole incompatiable things. Honest trailers are typically saracastic... and I kind of got sidetracked.
So grab a friend or popcorn whichever is more convient and watch this show today!
