Aw, now that’s adorable, no? Not only does Kim Tae-hee play a rags-to-riches Cinderella type of character in MBC’s My Princess, she’s pretty much dressed AS Cinderella, with that ballroom gown and sparkly tiara. Well, seeing as the drama is basically a modern-day fairy tale, why not go full-out for the princess motif, right? Although I’m confused as to why the princess is holding balloons and posing against a fake castle backdrop, like she’s a cast member in Disneyland’s Main Street parade.
In these stills, Kim Tae-hee’s character Lee Seol, an ordinary university student, poses with Park Hae-young (Song Seung-heon), the sole heir to a chaebol corporation who is also a foreign diplomat.
Kim Tae-hee’s no stranger to the trendy rom-com, though it’s been years since she’s done one (2004′s Love Story In Harvard), while this is Song’s first rom-com drama ever. I’m hoping that the woodenness I’ve come to expect from him in his dramatic and action roles is less of an issue in a light-hearted comedic drama. If anything, the two make a pretty gorgeous pair. Yay for eye candy!
The drama premieres on January 5.
