Fans speculate about Prosecutor Princess Season 2

While Prosecutor Princess originally had a fairly slow start, being called the Wed/Thur drama with the worst casting, by the end of its run, Prosecutor Princess’s low ratings were reversed and reruns and internet viewings have become so high that the team has stated “rating? Let the dog take it” (A Korean saying signifying little importance). While there had been talks of a possibility for an extension, Prosecutor Princess sadly ended at 16 episodes on May 20th 2010. Due to the semi-abrupt ending, there were regrets about Jenny’s limited role and lack of love line, the unfinished love stories of Ma Hye Ri/Seo In Woo, and Yoon Se Joon/Jin Jung Sun, as well as the uncompleted ongoing story of Hye Ri’s growth and role as prosecutor. While in the beginning, responses to Prosecutor Princess were generally low, it carried throughout a loyal fanbase, and by the end had gained critical reviews and renewed interest. Ma Hye Ri and Seo In Woo continue to be on the top 10 internet searches even after the show has run its course and visits to the online website have been many. Additionally, due to the popularity of Kim So Yeon and Park Shi Hoo overseas, Prosecutor Princess has received interest from surrounding countries. All this has in turn has propelled questions and requests by netizens about the possibility for a season two.

While I do not hold much hope for an actual season two happening at any time soon–the theme nowadays seems to be to banish the words “season two” at the end of any drama that enjoyed any moderate level of success–if such a season two ever happened, I believe it could be one of the few sequels that could actually be very good. Here’s to hoping such things happen~

I personally started Prosecutor Princess about two weeks into its start. I watched 4 episodes in one sitting and while I thought the drama was cute, the overused strains of “Goodbye My Princess”, Hye Ri’s dramatic obsession with shoes, and the unoriginal if heartfelt storyline of character development meant I stored the drama away intending to watch it in some distant future and then promptly forgot about it. Later, after the drama had run it’s course and good reviews began popping up on the internet, I revisited the drama and watched the whole thing in a matter of days, staying up to unseemly hours to finish it. While the first half of Prosecutor Princess is undeniably slow, predictable, and at times over-the-top, the second half makes up for it in spades with a heart-felt, tear-wrenching climax, developing love story, cute funny interactions between various characters, and amazing acting by all actors. Maybe because I had such low expectations in the beginning, but the end absolutely amazed me and Prosecutor Princess is now one of my favorite dramas. If anyone wants to watch a romantic comedy with a wonderfully delightful storyline, an anticipation-filled well connected thought out plot, and a realistic yet heart-wrenching love story with wonderful acting, this is the drama to watch!

(Note: Just to make sure we’re not starting unfounded rumors, I’d just like to point out that the Season 2 talk is mostly originating from fans making requests of the producers, not the producers saying they’re considering doing it. Like waterleaf, I’m not holding my breath about it. —javabeans)

Haha...I am so with (41) Gladys and (47) dramacafe. Jenny can hook up with the new MHR prosecutor guy and everyone live happy ever after.

Much as I love PP, I afraid Season 2 may be a flop. It is better to have a 2 hour special.....

Thanks. The idea of writing a PP fanfic was playing in my head lately. LOL
Maybe I'll try, one of these days. Who knows.

PP is definitely the best drama for me this year!

I hope PP D-cut will really really push through. I will definitely buy it whatever it costs! LOL

Yes! That would be awesome. I personally think there isn't much to go on for a season 2, but a two hour-special or two-ep special would be awesome.

@dramacafe
I wouldn't want a wedding or pregnancy. First that would be really un-Kdrama-like (in my limited opinion), and didn't they have enough angst for the last 6 episodes?

YUP, a SP would be good too, I think the drama should have ended with 20ep and not 16ep. I didn't get enough of them together and then it just ended. SO SAD

Well it would be interesting to make a romantic comedy out of this afterward but I don't see the need for a second season. Maybe because even though the ending was rushed, it did show that each of them found their own happiness and it was kinda enough for me.

But if they can make a decent second season with new ideas, I'll be supportive of it.
I still like seeing tons of Park Shi Hoo<3.

Season 2? :o

I don't know if I should jumping around or something. I mean, I really really loved watching Prosecutor Princess but I think it's less likely that they'll have it :-< (not disencouraging other people)

If ever this Season 2 that a lot fans have been requesting won't happen, maybe another Hye Ri and In Woo team-up? I love how they look so good together and their performance in PP.

I'm happy that this amazing drama is getting a lot of recognition from viewers because I was so frustrated when it was very underrated by a lot of people :)

Okay, so like many of you, I've started watching PP all over again, for the second time. I loved it so much, that I not only wanted to watch it again, I also wanted to see how much I might've missed the first time through. I've just started, and took a break after thoroughly enjoying(again) the scene where MHR brings SIW a box filled with dollar(won) bills...and he pulls out his currency counter. LOL

There are so many things to love about PP; for me, the scenes with Kim So-yeon and Park Shi-hoo are my favorite by far. Their perfectly synchronized rapid fire verbal exchanges, the wonderful facial expessions that they react to each other with, their perfectly tuned body english...all come together in harmony that creates romcom magic. And, I think this is a huge part of what makes PP such a phenomenal drama. KSY and PSH, both superb actors, have this amazing chemistry, together. They both know the letter and spirit of their lines so well, that their delivery is seamless and perfectly timed. They fall into a zone when they're together, the energy levels around them go through the roof, and they click sooo well that they both raise their game by several notches. Watching their scenes, together, for the second time(and third and fourth and fifth, if you count the times I replayed them), and witnessing this synergy that emanates from them acting together...it blows me away.

Oh, and it doesn't hurt that he's handsome and she's stunningly beautiful. Icing on an already delicious cake, if you ask me.

@Sukispop
You've so eloquently described word per word...exactly how I felt about Seo Byun & Ma Gom's tandem & their rapport towards each other!!! No wonder many fans have been over -analyzing this "synergy" & have continously been trying to link the 2 stars romantically in real life, as well!!! Some have even suggested a Hyun Bin-SHK scenario.. of them eventually falling in love after filming!!!LOL
PP is indeed a phenomenal success...& have made me fall foe Park Shi Hoo's charms & KSY's beauty!!! They've exceeded everyone's expectations & the writing is amazing!!!
Wouldn't mind watching it for the 6th time, cuz their scenes together always brings out the fangirl in me!! every single time!!!

i just finished watching this last night & wow it's one of my favorites definitely! i wld be one of those wishing for a sequel or season 2!!! i love the chemistry of Park Shi & Kim Seo...she's a terrific actress, so good in her role. I first noticed her in All About Eve for her exotic beauty & chiseled face but this is the second drama i've seen of her, i even missed watching Iris (coz of that annoying viikii plug-ins ) however, this drama really made me like her more & more.
I'm not sure who acted as her father in this drama but he's another good actor...very impressive acting i believe esp. in epis 14 or 15!
Thnx dramabeans, this is good news coz i liked PP so much & like i said this would be in my top 10 list of Kdramas!!
I hope the producers take into consideration in making season 2!! We'll be waiting!

I've been hoping for Stars Falling from the Sky sequel too as Pal Kang & Kang Ha's love was also seemingly incomplete & rushed ending! ^--^

@Sukispop
WOW! Your description of IW/HR's interaction is a PERFECT 10! I really marvelled at your choice of adjectives and phrases which are most appropriate for this unique yet adorable couple. I tried to express my description of them but I can't as I am not a native English speaker. I suppose you excelled in Literature during your school days. The 2nd paragraph,"There are so many things to love about PP..........it blows me away." can be used to convince even SJ camp fans to continue watching PP till the end. By the way, as someone has mentioned in the comments column of one of the episodes of PP, it is OBVIOUS from the posters and presentations that IW is the MAIN male lead. Therefore, they shouldn't begrudge the writer for not giving prominence to SJ's character. We know from the START that PP is all about the mysterious IW and the plot revolves around HIM and not SJ.
Sukispop, have you watched PSH in Family Honor? I fell in love with him from that drama. I think he was great there but is even GREATER in PP!

I wouldn't mind a 2nd season if they could do something about the incredibly insipid editing and directing. Really, PSH and KSY made this drama work - if it weren't for their embodiment and chemistry, this drama would have been just any other trendy fluff. The music could also be better used.

71 deannadsc and 75 Gladys,

Hi, and thank you for your kind words. I had just finished re-watching that scene with the box of money and the money counter, and just wanted to share the thoughts that came into my head. From the start, I had a feeling that this was going to be a good one...but, who here had any idea that it was going to be THIS GOOD?

75 Gladys, I was surprised, as I was reading your comments, that English isn't your native language...because you write very well. You must have done very well in your English classes!
I have not seen Family Honor, but have heard many good things about it. I will definitely check it out. Thank you for the suggestion! =)

It's one of my all time favorite dramas. Already watched it million times especially IW-HR moments, still can't get over it. Too bad PP's underrated when it's running, they deserve more recognition.

I stopped watching it at the beginning, felt weird with HR's obsession with shoes and fashion, moreover her 'obsession' with Se Joon too but actually mystery of creepy stalker IW was the one that made still downloaded this. After I can't find other interesting drama, I began to continue this and got addicted with it.
All the casts and the plot are amazing. This drama is unique too. Even simple things have meaning in this, such as HR's shoes, ramen, alarm clock etc.
HR's mom and dad were cute...their acting's damn good.

Season 2?? As much as I wish more and more IW-HR moments, but afraid season 2 will spoil the original one. But maybe 2-4 episodes extended will be awesome! Like PSH and KSY who hoped for 2 episodes extension.
More IW-HR moments...how their interaction with HR's parent and colleagues after they become a couple. Miss them working together, the bickering and cute scene...like fishing rod ^_^

But how we can send the request to SBS?

I couldn't agree more. I want 1 or 2 more episodes for this drama showing more romantic scenes of IW-HR together... and of course their wedding and married life!

I will go for a 2-episode sequel and it better have a HR-IW wedding. I haven't seen enough K-dramas with wedding scenes.

Can we put in a petition? I will sign up.

XD

I was sooooooooo damn sad that it ended/
From the very beginning, I was already captivated by the "richness" and how fun the main character seems. And than BAM comes Park shi hoo/Seo In woo in his prince charmingness! I just can't stop watching!
KSY & PSH delivered this shwo soooooo well I find myself just watching the whole drama over again to see scenes of them bickering cause it's just so cute and funny and totally not awkward! I LOVE IT!

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE 2-HOUR SPECIAL OMG I'D DIE OF HAPPINESS. I NEED MY DOSE OF MHR/SIW INTERACTION!!!

If not a season 2, then a 2hr special sounds just as good to my ears!

I'm excited for the director's cut edition. =P PSH+KSY+PP fighting!!

It been months since PP is over, and i still cant help but miss it :). The other new dramas are good, but this one just stole my heart with the kim so yeon and park shi hoo. I became their fans after this :D I really hope they make a second season or a special cuz i wanna see ma hye ri's married life with park shi hoo ^^ and her development on her prosecutor skills. Man if only they decided to make the series 20 ep b4. :(

This is one of my most favorite korean drama. The chemistry of KSY and PSH is really amazing. I'll definitely watch out for their next projects. I've finished watching PP and planning to watch it again. I was just wondering did PSH has ever said to KSY the magic words "I Love You" in the drama? hmmm, although action speaks louder than voice, I would still wanna hear it from him...As such, I think this really calls for season 2 or perhaps another special episode to give the fans a very more romantic ending of the characters...

Can anyone tell me the websites (english please) where I can find more readings about PSH? I really love this actor. He's already in line with my other favorite korean actors like Jo In Sung & Kim Hyun Jung.

I LOVE THIS DRAMA, please do for season 2...I'll defenitely watch it. It's the best drama ever after Winter Sonata. I watch it two times already n still cried at the last 2 @ 3 episod. I LOVE how it's end between Hye Ri n Il Woo. It had been a while since I love the main hero because I'll end up cheering for the second hero. But this time the hero was perfect, Il Woo is charming n lovable. Tthe beginning is quit boring but it get exciting at the middle until the end. Hope the producers consider making a season 2...n please use the same main cast cause I watch it because of Park Shi Hoo. :)
