K-movie Feels:
- The Princess and the Matchmaker is fun to watch especially if you enjoy a good and a cute romance with a happily ever after.
- It’s not your usual historical drama; it’s simple, very cheerful and heartwarming film.
- Not many romantic scenes, but enough to keep you happy.
- It’s the perfect romantic comedy setup full of mistaken identity and a hilarious mix-up.
- Lee Seung Gi and his smile is good enough for me to enjoy this movie.
- This isn’t a Lee Seung-gi showstopper role in terms of grand displays of acting but his charming performance and the film’s beautiful visuals make it a perfect choice for a relaxing movie night.
- If you want to watch a historical drama with many funny moments and no tragedy then this is a good watch.
