another stranger Apr 15 2021 6:43 am one of the best movie i've ever watch which i like this kind of old scene. i start stan for lee seunggi and watching his dramas lol

magtae Aug 11 2020 6:35 am i was confused with the pacing but i liked the movie overall. i have a soft spot for shim eun Kyung i really liked her in Miss Granny

Bucin oppa Aug 05 2020 11:40 am Not a fan of Lee Seunggi, but he's a great actor. Now I know why he has such a huge fandom. And Shim Eunkyung, she's a brilliant actress. this movie is so heart warming,a little bit sad but lovely. I fell for the ending scene, what a beautiful scenery, like a dream. Anyone know where is this place?

Btw, I hope there will be a drama version.

Angel Zhou Apr 25 2020 7:56 am Feel Good movie! Glad I watched it! This doesn't stress you out, some moments are just funny. You will 100% be entertained. Of course, Lee Seunggi, Yeon Woojin, Choi Woosik, Choi Minho will be great eye-candies. <3 <3 <3 <3 Don't skip this ok!!!

Sweetxtin Oct 29 2019 10:08 am lol, Yeon Woo Jin is villain. I just cant, he’s effective baddie but a very handsome villain, hehe. Enjoyed it, just felt short, not used to this compared to K drama.

GoldPen Nov 27 2018 2:37 pm Just recently started watching The Princess and the matchmaker because of Lee Sung Gi. He always makes me laughed. He did a great job in"My girlfriend is a nine tail fox" with No Min Woo. Will review later.

Migthy Thor Sep 26 2018 8:04 am WoW! Lucky Princess! The candidates (Yeon Woo-Jin, Kang Min-Hyuk, Choi Woo-Sik and the cute chubby boy) were awesome (",)

finally watched it Sep 01 2018 9:21 am Finally watched it today!!! Very chaotic and fast paced (felt very rushed towards the end and kinda feels like a lot of plot was squished in) But all actors and actresses were enjoyable to watch and my GOSH the cinematography... the colors!!! so beautiful. Really felt like watching a storybook story coming to life ( or a webtoon hahah). Also Shim Eun Kyung gosh you've grown so much!! She really looked so beautiful and grown up in this movie <3 <3 <3 Love For Her !!!! waited for 2 years and so worth it!!!

Wol Jinju Aug 26 2018 11:21 pm This movie is great. It's full of comedy, romance a rn suspense with a bit of a twist to the idea that what you see isnt always what you get. I really loved seeing the different acting skills of the four suitors for the princess because they are all actors who we are used to seeing as great good guys and main leads. So to see this different side of them, it really makes the movie more fun. I loved the main leads chemistry from right off the back and the movie is a great one to watch and enjoy. It's like a Korean drama in one film.

Shanie Jun 19 2018 10:06 am Done watching! And i must say that i fell in love more with oppa seung gi ?❤ what a great movie!

Moori May 25 2018 10:40 pm Lee Seung gi always da basssss!! XD

spiicy java May 01 2018 10:14 am Lee Seung Gi is my favorite guy right now. Whatever he is in is good. I will love it!

Natasha Peters Apr 29 2018 5:53 pm As long as it's Lee seungi gi's movie?I'm so watching it,Love the guy to the moon and back

chalbarczyk Apr 21 2018 1:16 am Super film! Super director!

Leak Apr 09 2018 12:07 am Wow I enjoyed this movie very much. Really an amazing movie. No wonder it is the first romance movie that hit one million view in Korea after the beauty inside in 2015.

Pink Blossom Apr 02 2018 10:36 pm I've watched this movie and IT'S SOOOOOOOO FUNNNNNNNNN Who say it's boring hahaha Can I say it's just not your taste?

Bianca Mar 21 2018 3:28 pm I've watch this film at cinema. There was big actors such as yeon woo jin amd lee seung gi. Kang min hyuk, choi woo sik and minho was so good in this film. But, i just don't like the plot because it was so boring.

boo Mar 12 2018 11:49 pm ugh lee seung gi is having so many projects after coming back from the miltary, im so happy TTTT. I missed his great acting so much, im so touched i cant even rn. it doesnt matter if his projects are well-written or not, his acting just pulls the production along!! fighting!!

Sara Jan 31 2018 3:31 am Can't wait this movie I'm waiting for Woo Jin oppa and Seung Gi oppa ^^

ERA Jan 28 2018 2:52 am Oppa, you are so talented, im always excited everytime you're having a new drama or movie,..

tierzab Jan 02 2018 12:57 pm Am happy to see Lee Seung-Gi back on the screen. He is very talented and looking forward to seeing what is to come with hi.

Lee Seohwa Dec 11 2017 3:55 am Are you kidding me? It's already pass 2017 though, yet still not out yet?

Arina Sep 15 2017 3:57 pm I am still waiting for information about this movie. I know our Minho worked hard on filming this movie and I hope for a soon release! ^^

Pamela Kay Sep 15 2017 11:56 am Waiting 2 years after a movie is made seems unreal to me. He is not going to look the same after spending 2 years in the Army.. I am looking forward to finally seeing this though.

Lou Aug 12 2017 4:59 am Wishing yeon woo jin has a lot of scene. My love bong hee deserved it!!! And the wait is almost over right? I can't wait. And you never go wrong with shim eun kyung, i love her in sunny

Unnieinthephil Aug 09 2017 12:59 pm So the movie was finished befor lee seunggi went to army then it will be released 2 years after when he's discharged from military.nice lol . Anyways long wait is almost over.

Mimi Jun 24 2017 7:20 am Thank you, Aishthen, for telling us why this movie is delayed. I kept looking for it and wondering why I couldn't find it. Been looking forward to this movie for some time. I'm a fan of all these lead actors. It sounds like it will be fun.

I looked up Lee Seung-Gi's service requirement and he's expected to be finished in October 2017. Hopefully we'll see the movie some time after then. A long wait, but one day we will see it.

Aishthen May 23 2017 3:23 am Movie hasn't been released, so the only thing I'm guessing right now is that... the movie will be released when Lee Seunggi got back from the Army as a welcome to his comeback and they need him for the promotions. Thinking that this movie will be his comeback for the things he's working on before he went to the army. I support you all the way Seunggi-oppa! Not many months left for us fans to wait for your comeback! Stay healthy and keep the bright smiles as always! Airen forever!

Now waiting Apr 10 2017 12:21 am Just watched Fabricated City, you did a great job there Shin Eun Kyung <3 SO now i shall stay here waiting for this movie... can I be more excited goshh :)

ahjaetrash Mar 01 2017 1:23 am pls let the husband be Yeon Woo Jin lol!!

Ddx Feb 02 2017 5:58 pm Minhooo... Kang min hyuk... <3

Pls note the sacarsm Jan 14 2017 2:27 pm THis movie was suppose to be released 2016. NOW unless I’m in a parallel universe where it so happens it’s already 2017 and it still hasn't been released, It's 2017 and this movie still hasn't been released

I WILL DEFEND MY GIRL TRYANDSTOPME Dec 26 2016 10:28 pm My Christmas has been great and I have loved my break so far, But if I am not able to see my girl in this movie theres gon be a war. A fight to the death, for the Princess Songhwa, Whom I will fight for with the ferocity of a cobra. She is played by an amazing actress, Going by the name of Shim Eun Kyung, And in my eyes, on the acting quality ladder, She is definitely the highest rung. If this comment is not posted, I will be extremely sad, Because it expresses my feelings for a movie That is yet to be had. So please, JUST. RELEASE. MY. SHIMEUNKYUNGPRINCESS MOVIE. Battle cry:EUNKYUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNG

HiShou Dec 03 2016 10:23 pm I remember people said this movie would be released in 2016 and we have like 27 days left for 2016 and the movie is nowhere in sight. I'm genuinely concerned if it is going to be released or they just gonna hide it forever...

Airen Nov 19 2015 11:09 am I have to wait 1 freaking year to see Seunggi baby, at the same time, I'm glad the post production will take its time to produce a nice movie.

jeong ha na Nov 17 2015 10:13 pm can't wait!

lsgfan Sep 24 2015 3:30 pm lee seung gi, Kang min hyuk and min ho in one film.... super excited to see all three....

ollyginger Sep 20 2015 1:27 am It's good that I can watch many movies from Shim Eun-kyung in the future. I like how she learns to act in movie from time to time. I don't have high expectation for this movie and her whether she will be a top movie star like her seniors or not. I just like her acting because.... I dunno, she's different :).

joe Sep 14 2015 7:25 am Very looking forward to this movie since it is the sequel to The Face Reader which is one of my most favourite movie. I trust the writer since TFR has an awesome plot line writing. Hopefully this movie will top the list of highest-grossing film in SK like Yoo Ah In's Veteran, for example.

And for my beloved Seunggi, I wish you can build a solid name in film industry like these amazing movie stars; Ahn Sung Ki, Song Kang Ho, Ha Jung Woo, Hwang Jung Min, Lee Jung Jae, Jung Woo Sung etc.

I remember there is an article which once mentioned Seunggi as the next heir of Ahn Sungki, wishing him can be like him one day. Like how the fortune teller told Seunggi that 2016 will be a huge success for him, I too have this feeling that he will hit his second prime time since 2009-2011 before he leaves for his military service. Anyways, FIGHTING GOONGHAP !!

chocoblue13 Sep 14 2015 7:15 am Look forward to this great movie, sure it will be an amazing movie next year. So excited with both lead chemistry. Lee Seung Gi ~ Shim Eun Kyung fighting!

Having a hard time breathing Sep 12 2015 1:40 pm 2016??? What in the world. I'm still waiting for Fabricated City and now I have to live to see this too. Shin Eun Kyung how can you make me wait so long? again.

The synopsis sounds pretty entertaining and intricate. Like we don't know what to expect for the female protagonist. Or it could be the complete opposite and be everything we hope it will be:) either way, I don't know if I can handle all this waiting. LITERALLY can't wait to see you Eun Kyung portray this independent Princess like the natural boss you are.

girl Aug 24 2015 2:57 pm Looking forward to it, fighting!! :)

Vv Aug 18 2015 5:01 pm Looking forward to it, love them both!

HopesDD Aug 01 2015 4:20 pm SeungGi-yaaaaaaaaaaa, so excited for this movie, I know you'll do a great job as always, and I'm loving the synopsis of this, I feel like it'll be great.

shasha Jul 30 2015 9:41 pm Looking forward to your new movie! I read that this is the second sequel after The Face Reader! Omg I love The Face Reader so much hopefully this sequel will hit box-office and do well like the first sequel too. Lee Seunggi fighting I love your acting so much ! I wish you can build your own name in film industry one day like Song Kangho, Ha Jung Woo, Lee Jung Jae etc. And Shim Eun Kyung has solid movie experience so I believe both of you going to look great together. :))
