For some, it's a true alternate reality Cinderella story, but for Chae- kyung, her Prince, named Shin, turns out to be mean and selfish with little intent of breaking up with his previous girlfriend and every intention of divorcing her in a couple years. He is the true Prince Charming, a kind and understanding soul who quickly falls in love with her (his cousin- in- law). Complicating the situation is the fact that prince Yool used to be the Crown Prince and she was originally betrothed to him. And as it turns out, the parents of the Princes have a complicated past and love triangles all their own. Well, obviously it is.

And a good one. Chae- kyung must navigate the difficult worlds of the palace and high school and marriage. The mixture of three situations that are difficult enough on their own creates all kinds of interesting difficulties for our girl next door.

She is the most delightful part of the show - - goofy and cute without ever being too annoying. She cries a lot but never comes off as weak. The performance really brings a lot to a character that's hard to dislike and easy to care for.

Joo Ji- hoon (far left) is also great as Shin, the troubled monarch to be (he does great even though he's almost always dressed in questionable pink frocks). At first Shin seems somewhat one dimensional, but over time his complexities and insecurities come to the fore and are portrayed very effectively. Former boy band idol Kim Jung- hoon (far right) debuts well here, portraying the complicated and tortured character Yool. Along with the three leads are a great cast of supporting characters. Particularly of note are Chae- kyung's bumpkin family and her wacky trio of friends - - the characters that add the greatest comic effect to the show. It never gets too sad or too silly for too long. The show is full of tender moments, and really works best when it focuses on the love triangle of the younger characters, and tends to lose steam when a lot of attention is paid to the Elders.

In fact, the extra 4 episodes might be a bit too much, because it does seem like there's maybe one misunderstanding too many by the end. As for the end, it's a bit strange and not the most satisfying I've seen, but it certainly gets the job done, and in no way should be a deterrent from watching the rest of this truly enjoyable show. Sometimes I wanted her to end up with Shin, and sometimes with Yool. And it's not only a question of who will get the girl, there's also a question of which Prince will become the next ruler. Because as the Princes struggle for Chae- kyung's affection, their mothers connive to grasp the throne for them.

Once again, the court politics mixed in with high school politics add a great twist to this drama. The three main characters wear an array of designer outfits, and seem to be in a different one every time they appear on screen. The crown prince and princess' quarters are stunningly beautiful.

The production was denied when they asked to shoot in a real castle, but it's all for the best, because what was created was perfect for the series. There are high hopes that the show will catch on in other Asian countries. Even Variety has called it the . And it could easily gain a following as loyal as Dae Jang Geum or Winter Sonata.

Originally aired on SBS in Korea January 7, 2. Official website (in Korean): click here. Released on DVD in Korea by SBS with English and Korean subtitles. For a while, I felt that the genre of Korean dramas had come to be stereotyped and typecast as sappy, romantic, authoritative dramas with each plot made up of repetitive, parallel and analogous storylines.

But after hearing positive reviews of Romance in Paris and the high ratings that it garnered, I was rather curious about this drama, and wondered if it would be as excellent a drama as others had described it to be. Romance in Paris is addictive. With its first three episodes showing the landscape of Paris, it is no wonder why the audience would be beheld by the picturesque scenery of the city of Amour. The Eiffel Tower, Seine River and other sights and sounds of Paris are captivating in the opening scenes of this drama. However, this is not the only captivating factor. The drama itself is also alluring and draws viewers in with each subsequent episode. Barbie Dating Fun Ken on this page.

Although there is no real prince living in palace with a line of maids and a butler, the male protagonist here could be said to be a reincarnation of one. Suave, rich, smart, he is everything that you could ask for in a guy. Our Cinderella is, as the name suggests, a poor, optimistic, beautiful lady with an enchanting smile that could melt almost any guy.

It seems like the roles were tailored just for them. Our prince is Park Shin- yang, who is better known for his movies like A Promise and The Letter, both of which were hits in the 1.

An outstanding actor, he gave an excellent rendition of the role, Han Ki- joo, who is the GM of a multi- national coporation dealing with cars. Initially, after viewing the first two episodes, his acting seemed a little stiff. In fact, I was wondering why the PD chose someone who cannot act to take upon the lead role. But as subsequent episodes were unveiled, I was really impressed with his performance. Although she had never taken on the leading role in a drama production, Kim shows her own charisma and proved that she also is worthy of becoming an A- list actress. She is the one who provides the soul for the drama with her forgetful character and cutsey performance.

It was amazing to see how much Lee Dong- gun has matured in his acting skills. When I first saw him in Ad Madness in 1. But his depth in portraying Su- hyuk's inner emotions was overwhelming. At 2. 4, he is definitely an excellent actor to look out for. In fact, after watching his performance in Romance in Paris, I had the urge to view his earlier works such as Sweet 1.

If there is one flaw in the drama, it is definitely the ending. After watching the ending, questions marks were flying in my head. It was simply incomprehensible.
