Posters for Prosecutor Princess

Prosecutor Princess has (finally!) released its promo posters, and I think the main thing I take away from them is major shoe envy. (Of Kim So-yeon, that is. I’m not sure how I feel about the lace-up boots on the supposedly mysterious lawyer character played by Park Shi-hoo. On the upside, his look is a departure from the usual kdrama lawyer hero — all sleek suits and crisp silhouettes, like co-star Han Jung-soo — so there is that.)

Prosecutor Princess is a show that doesn’t really get me on a story level, because it seems pretty familiar; a lot of comments have already compared it to Legally Blonde, and I can’t argue with that. Korea has also been rather hit or miss with occupation dramas; while there are some hits (White Tower, New Heart, HIT), there have also been a number of lackluster offerings. (Often, I find that occupation dramas gloss over the actual details of the occupation and don’t honor reality.)

Where Prosecutor Princess does have me interested is in Kim So-yeon’s transformation, particularly coming off such a badass, unpolished character in IRIS. I’ve seen her portraying sleek, chic, gentle, evil, jealous, and action-hero characters (though not all at once, of course). Bubbly and girly will be new ground for her.

Chuno's General Choi sans spear battling a bubbly cute princess transformed from IRIS's Sun Hwa?

It shocks the brain.

KSY looks so cute. By the way, isn't her dress in the first poster the same as what Park Jin Hee wore in the press conference of Still, Marry Me? :-/

I agree with you about occupation dramas. I haven't watched the hits you've mentioned but it became a general rule of mine to avoid kdramas that make the occupation a large part of the story since they really don't come off as very realistic.

Still, I like the general set up and if Kim So Yeon's character is going to grow here I'd like to see what she draws from her job.
And those sparkles! It almost succeeds in drawing my attention from her hair which I had not really hated until this moment...

I think I'll probably wait a bit before deciding if I'm watching this or not. Spoiled-rich-girl plots have never really drawn me in (especially after last year's My Fair Lady) but I'd like to see where this will go. She can't be just bubbly and spoiled without some smarts, right? I mean, she's a lawyer, after all.

What a change from her IRIS look but what is with the hair ?
Not being Korean, you all talk about ajumia (SP?) hair and everyone cuts their hair off/short ... but this looks just like the style everyone made fun of in Sons of Sol Pharmacy ? I really don't understand.
What a really beautiful actress and so cute in these shots but the hair ! ack !

the posters are definitely appealing- though I think Park Shi Hoo looks more like an undercover reporter than a lawyer. I can't wait to see Kim So yeon's character slowly transform into a great lawyer wtih a strong sense of justice.

@ JB "Bubbly and girly will be new ground for her." This may be new ground for her but judging by her attitude in the first poster I think she has it done.

As for the comment about the PSH's boots, someone is pushing that look hard because I have seen it in pictures of male celebrities all over Asia.

OMG SHOES. I don't know when or where I would ever wear them, but OMG. *grabby hands*

Re: PSH's boots: Siwon was sporting a similar pair in that first scene of Oh My Lady, wasn't he? I'm not sure what the appeal is either, but I've been seeing them all over the place lately. (I'm pretty sure I even saw them on a girl at one point, which was weird.)

I don't like occupation dramas.. Even though they mostly skim the surface of the actual occupation, the parts they do incoroporate tend to bore me to tears. :/

Shoe envy? How about dress envy from that first poster! Loveeeeee those colors and design (though I'm still so-so on the green belt).

I like these posters and the tiny logos for their sponsors.

Is the first dress Diane von Furstenberg ? I believe so, I am currently in deep lust with the skirt version.

What with all the ditsy, ajumma roles these days? Have the writers run out of ideas?

I'm not sure if KSY fits this kind of role. She seems too sophisticated, despite the attempt to look cute and bubbly.

It may come off as silly and unbelievable a la Lee Bo Young in Birth of a Rich Man.

Love love the shoes. I actually have shoes like that but without the bling. It is surprisingly versatile. rolled up boyfriend jeans, black liquid leggings, skinny jeans, black cocktail dress, mini skirt. It goes with everything.

Occupation dramas I loved besides White Tower are Hotelier and Great Lawyers of Korea.

The main interest for me besides PSH being yummy is KSY's transformation into a prissy silly girl. Not a role I've seen her in.

Love the first poster!!

I like the shoes, I think they wanted to show high class style by showing off her show -which blings.

2nd poster is good too, but could have been better . I like the idea of the shoot being in an elevator and having a "scandalous" appeal!

KSY said those sparkly high heels really kill her... like gave her lots of pain esp on the waist/butt but she's having fun wearing them ^ ^

Ah, talking about shoes... a chingu just commented that "Everybody knows that I change my “K hotties” as often as I change my shoes. I can’t even remember the names of the “old K Loves” I had and now *** is my favored one!

Does anyone know when pouting became a de rigueur means of characterization in K-drama? Or, was it carried over from idol shenanigans in CF-shoot?
That said, bring on the shoe-porn yay! ~ *Major drool*

I'm really looking forward to this one, because Kim So Yeon is my girl crush and I want her drama to do extremely well! The End.
OK, maybe that sounded creepy, but still! I'm loving the cast and hope it does well.

At first when people were likening this to Legally Blonde (!?!?!!), I was close to throwing up everytime. Where's Witherspoon and where's our KSY? Complete different breeds.
Oh well, at least she's looking trendy and glam here, over pink and fluffy. Awesome! ;)

So, turns out there IS a similar kind of plot to LB, WUAS and similar kinds of film and drama, I can live with that.
The whole occupational drama thing doesn't really bother me toooo much, as long as the drama ticks my boxes then I'm quite happy to watch. Sounds like a fun, trendy and generally entertaining watch so far.

Looks like General Choi will be a bit of a second lead here, sigh.

@26 Kaedejun - Haha! I noticed that too. Look at him, clutching onto his man purse for his dear life.

Lastly and more importantly, the shoes! Hubba hubba!

I'm gonna give this a try just because of Kim So Yeon. I miss her so much ever since IRIS ended. Hope this doesn't turn out to be too unwatchable....

@37:
I think Yoo Gun can't develop his career because of his height. when you are too short and you lack special charm, you can't be leads (Lee wan is in the same situation).
I think men who are short but really charming are Lee Byung Hun and Chen Hun (chinese actor)

@Isabella #4 I thought the same thing too first thing!!! The dresses look mighty similar... I loved the colour on Park Jin Hee at the press conference of Still Marry Me.

Yoo Gun's a hottie... Yoo gun = Prosecutor Princess eye candy.
