We're at episode 5. Needless to say, we love it. Ahaha. It's good for what it is. Fluff. And thankfully, it's not annoying like some.
Most such loud-strong-and-street-smart female characters take the "loud" too far. They act like truck drivers and annoy.
Tae Hee is doing good. She's loud, but doesn't overact and she also doesn't leak prettily like a princess (pun intended).
As for Mr. Abs, he's really not impressing me with his acting so far, but he's also very likable. Good in comedic scenes.
Plus, he kind of reminds me of Lee Pace, which I loved. Right up until he signed up for a Twilight movie. Twilight! Why?
One thing I hope will change though, is the whole view on the princess thing. I also hated that about Goong, but there, it had a reason.
Meaning, everyone was nuts about a princess and absolutely wanted her to take over and she just went along with things, without a fuss.
Now, I get Goong, since it's in an imaginary world where the imperial family is still ruling. So I can forgive the fascination with royalty there.
But so far in MP, I just see a senile old guy who, because of guilt, is holding on to some past glory of having monarchy restored. It's just silly.
And I hope it stays as silly. I hope the people vote against it and more than that, I hope Lee Seol will refuse such a senile request in the end.
As for the second leads now, not impressed. The professor is kind of cute, but pretty wooden and what's with Miss I-am-supposed-to-be-young?

She's born in 1981, but the woman has not aged well. She looks like a 48-year-old with a face lift done. And she's too skinny. I guess that's why.
But looks aside, she is doing a good job. She hasn't shown me hate-that-b*tch evilness so far, but I hope she'll become more despicable soon.
Last for now, but not least, it's getting so easy to spot idols by now. I mean, after watching enough kdrama, you can tell a singer-cast-here right away.
I hadn't even checked online and I knew Mr. Gay-Cute cook was some idol singer given a part. He's just so obvious. Does put a smile on my face though.
His character, that is. I was actually hoping he wasn't just a guest for one episode. Cause what an adorable kid is that cook? Bit slow, poor thing, but cute.
So, more on this soon. It's a fun series.
