[Drama Review] 'My Sassy Girl' - Episodes 17-20


Okay, just gonna let it out here, first thing. Does ANYONE ELSE low-key ship Princess Hyemyung with Prince Dalhan?!?!

The biggest factor that has me sort of being okay with the princess and the prince getting together, is that the drama is still not quite convincing me ofPrincess Hyemyung(played byOh Yeon Seo) andGyeonwoo(played byJoo Won)'s budding love. Up until now, yes, they've had some fateful encounters, and they're definitely at the 'some' stage. But now that the Qing dynasty prince has come to steal the princess away, more than anything, it feels as if Hyemyung and Gyeonwoo have been brought together, due to the circumstances, rather than slowly progressing into lovers over time. This is more evident in Hyemyung, whose greatest trouble is that she is deeply sorrowed by the prospect of leaving her country, her father the King, her grandmother, her son the little prince, and the opportunity to one day see her mother again. (Btw, did the mother become forgotten for a little bit in this week's episodes, or what?)

All in all, in my opinion, what's driving Princess Hyemyung to cling to Gyeonwoo with her heart so desperately in this current situation is her desire to find some method or foothold to stay in Joseon, more so than her love for Gyeonwoo. If she convinces herself that she loves Gyeonwoo, then she'll have a more concrete reason to try to persuade others around her that she should not be married off to prince Dalhan, no?
