Just a heads up: That's not such a minor spoiler, all considering...

Can't wait to watch it :)

Great drama but this was no Romeo and Juliet.

I, personally, was very satisfied with the ending. And yes, there was tragedy galore on the way there!

It is hard to say enough wonderful things about this drama. Since some of the history is obscure regarding the two main characters, I think many people who are watching it are afraid it might end either ambiguously or sadly.

My thoughts are that the drama gave some hints as to how it might end. The wise confidante of Kim Seung-yu stated it appropriately and accurately around the middle of the drama. The other hint is that the whole story is so sad and full of conflict that it yearns for an ending with resolution and rest.

If I did not have hope that it would end well I would not have the fortitude to continue watching it.

Definitely a drama one could recommend to anyone. I decided to watch it because of Park Shi-hoo. He is certainly an amazing person and actor. I really would like to meet him someday!!! And Moon Chae-won is so lovely. Have added them to my favorites list, for sure!!!

TPM was a great drama and Park Si Hoo and all the actors involved were awesome !!! ...... as there was so much tragedy throughout the drama i was very happy with the ending.

I wanted some tragedy lol.

i cried SOO MUCH while watching the last episode...ahh such a good drama!

and, park shi hoo <3

The first sageuk that I have been completely addicted too - I wasn't even addicted with the wildy popular Jewel in the Palace (is that what it was called). Even though I was completely addicted and totally loving it, and plenty of tragedy all around... I'm not sure I would coin it a tragic romance in the end. But no sense in debating that! Get your tissues prepared for every episode after 7.

Happy that they had an all time high rating on the last episode. What an accomplishment for everyone involved. PSH has a new fan in me, that's for sure.

I don't think they did that well either when it first started since CH was still airing for another week or two. I think TWDR won't have a problem capturing the void left by TPM. Good luck to the 2 new shows.

one of my favorite sageuks along with hong gil dong and legend of hyang dan :)

Is it a minor spoiler when the end of the drama is revealed? :/

Marathon, here I come!

I always start a Sageuk assuming a tragic ending. That way anything other than an "OMG! They all died!" end is a win! :)

I'm glad the Princess' Man has done so well :) I enjoyed it throughout its' run, and I'm sad to see it go. I'm defintely going to miss Park Shi-hoo!!

Huh I might actually try to watch it then given the Romeo and Juliet thing. I absolutely stayed away from it when the comparisons were first made. I hate that they're so in love they're willing to die for each other thing.

This is definitely one of the best korean dramas of the year...hands down...maybe even the best. I totally recommend this drama to anyone and you will not regret watching it. I absolutely love everything about this drama including the story, the actors, and the soundtrack.

I'm so happy with the ending... I so love these 2 actors - PSH & MCW... they're equally great!! To the writers, thank you for the happy ending... now I can sleep with a big big smile! ^o^

My father is so addicted to this show OMO... from Hokkien dramas to Korean Dramas...(i think he accidentally switched channels one day and just got hooked pwhaha!) It is his first Saguek and he is amazed at the the cameras, the filming, (he says the Taiwan ones, the cameras from a few VERY predictable angles only LOLLLLL) language, the script, the story, the minds of the Koreans.... his conclusion.... (all the palace intrigues, scams, betrayal, etc. etc.) ... ok nebermind :) well... I'M ECSTATIC welcome on board Papa!! kekekeke K-drama world RULES over my DAD... so now he is firmly planted to KBSWorld... daily OMG hahahahah

Oh no, spoiler, spoiler! I'm not one to berate you jb, but... : ( (sees Minor Spoiler warning) Oh crap, I didn't see that before I read the spoiler. Okay, now I can blame myself. Still, dammit!!

its such a good drama.. and yes that spoiler is somewhat true.. but lots of tragic things happen before the good. being a non watch of saeguks i really enjoyed this one. the cast was awesome. and im happy the pds and writers made the ending happy. not totally but its better than what i anticipated thats for sure. heheh. im happy. and PSH is <3 MCW really pretty here too. it was a good run. ill miss it actually. hehe

MCW <3 and PSH <3 <3 Loves Princess Man ! :)

Err they did a end just like the tale/ unpfficial history says about she running away and having kids with the man she loved. Also they had too much suffering, it's ok have a happy ending. I think we fans deserved this... heheheh

Props to JB. I didn't read this article because you said that there was a spoiler. I really appreciate your respect for those of us who haven't finished a show. I REALLY appreciate it!

all the while, upon reading the synopsis of the princess man to be a tragic love story, i didn't bother to watch the first ep.coz enough for sad ending stories for me.its good i read about jb's comment that it was a happy ending so im going to watch it now.kudos to jb for the info.

Darn it! I read the spoilers on accident!! But wow, i'm soooo glad its a happy ending. I love the drama so much! :) Especially Park Shi woo! :)

I actually went and read this post because I thought it would contain spoilers. I wanted to know if the leads get together in the end and then decide whether to watch it or not. So, thank you, JB. I appreciate the spoiler!

Uhm, might wanna put the spoilers behind cut next time.

I loved this drama - PSH and MCW were awesome and probably at their best here. I hope this drama is able to gain some acknowledgement and wins some awards at the end of the year. This probably one of the best historical dramas I've watched in a long time because the romance storyline was really touching. I really hope more people will check it out because it's well worth the time.

didnt start cos of its 'tragic ending'....but definately going to check it out now

OH, there's tragedy. LOTS of it. And the more the tragedy, the more you want to desperately find glimmering hope for the end. TPM totally lives up to its promised tragic premise, so don't be fooled just yet. The ending is rather an uplifting one with mature quality, done correctly and only possible due to the special care of the writing team. Most brilliant and cohesive writing i've seen in a long time!

There came a point in the drama when i became completely unaffected by how TPM might end, knowing that the well-established and profound love of our Yoo-Ryung couple was enough to make TPM a memorable drama. This ending just spoiled me good. ;)

And it hasn't quite sunk into me that TPM is... officially... over. D: It's been a long time since i've met a drama i so eagerly feel the need to dissect to find the depths of its characters. So well-written, -directed, and -casted with beautiful cinematography, OST, and wardrobe. TPM has brought a whole new level to my appreciation of Kdramas and has set a new standard for Kdrama Land. *pinned to limited "favorites" list*

And not to mention the sizzlin' chemistry between our handsome PSH and adorable MCW! What a great team they make. I'm sad we won't be seeing PSH's cutie face every week anymore, but at the same time i need him to get some sleep and eat so he can stay alive for our hearts to flutter some more (that is.. when he can with the new movie in progress).

nice drama!

Big Fan of this Drama!

Just Wondering if you wouldn't mind recapping this one. I would love to hear your thoughts. :) I've read so many of your recaps and they are fab. Your thoughts just contradict mine. :)

Thumbs up to The Princess's Man. They did a fab job. Actors, Story, Scripts, Camera shots... I will be voting for them for the upcoming awards :)

I really adore this drama, getting more interesting day by day... Love Park Shi Hoo and Moon Chae Won pairing!!! And so glad for the happy ending.

well, now that I know that it's not going to end like Romeo and Juliet, I can watch it now.

omg i can't believe how some of you here was hoping for a tragic ending? I say when you watch the drama for yourself, you will be asking for a happy ending! :)

I really enjoyed this drama! I for one am happy with the happy ending, because they did already have a tragic romance in that show, which was really sad to me. Too much tragedy also with everyone around them as well. I don't think I could have took another tragedy with the main couple. And my most favorite scene was a happy one, the swing scene (the slow motion, their expressions, the music, it was all perfect to me)!

Best drama of 2011! enuf said...

for those who like PSH-MCW as a couple.. can come here http://www.soompi.com/forums/topic/370335-wonhoo-ghost-couple/page__st__60#entry17423529

This drama was based on tales handed down by word of mouth and finally put to word in late Chosun Dynasty. Here's the MBC History Special documentary on this topic: http://www.youtube.com/user/zenas034#grid/user/81952A3205797751

So glad that it ended on a happy note!though shi hoo himself stated before that a sad ending is more befitting for this kind of sageuk.he is right but fans are really happiest with the ending.hoping that the sageuk and the cast/crew will be recognized at the 2011 kbs drama awards.they all deserve to be recognized.more power to all the actors and chae won and SHI HOO.cheers!

Really, no surprise there!

Cheers to Princess' Man! :D

It's one of my fave dramas this year. I was expecting a tragic ending so a somewhat happy ending was a lovely surprise. It such a waste that all those people died just for the sake of a throne.

One of the best dramas I've watched this year.
