The Princess’s Man (2011)
– K-Drama Review | Park Si-hoo, Moon Chae-won
“The Joseon Romeo and Juliet” — The Princess’s Man is a heart-wrenching historical romance that blends palace intrigue, forbidden love, and tragedy into one unforgettable drama.
Set in the turbulent political landscape of the Joseon Dynasty, the story follows Kim Seung-yoo (Park Si-hoo), a nobleman and son of a loyal official, who unknowingly falls in love with Lee Se-ryung (Moon Chae-won), the daughter of his family’s greatest enemy — the powerful and ruthless Grand Prince Suyang.
What begins as a tender romance quickly spirals into betrayal, heartbreak, and vengeance as love is tested by bloodshed and loyalty. Moon Chae-won delivers quiet strength and grace, while Park Si-hoo’s transformation from idealistic scholar to tormented swordsman is riveting.
With gorgeous cinematography, an emotionally charged soundtrack, and a gripping script, The Princess’s Man is a masterclass in tragic romance and political drama.
Love against fate. A fight against history.
Rating: 9.3/10
