A Princesa da Máfia

Started this out of boredom and cause it's very short and I wanted something easy and fun to watch. And I know Jasper Liu from that one drama with She Yue. Reviews weren't stellar but how bad could it be, eh?

Well, it's not good. It's utter silliness. I mean it's good silly for half of it and then it turns all dramatic and forgets how it started so that didn't work out. Saw just now the last episode just to be done with it. They even left it on a cliffhanger, which obviously never materialized.

So there are some nice moments, nice interactions, but it's just badly written and paced. Complete waste of the actors. The second couple didn't amount to much either. I mean what could you possibly do in 6 episodes? Nothing good, that's what... Angie is fun to watch though so her character was wasted.

Whoever wrote this and whoever thought this script was good should quit.

Considering the open ending, I can only assume there will be a second season of the show. There are a few loose ends that needs to be resolved. Despite the cute and unrealistic depiction of what is the ferocious world of the maffia, which I could overlook, I quite enjoyed this little sweet tale, although it doesn't leave any lasting impression.

Have you ever watched something completely ridiculous and non-sensical, but you just don't care because it's so fun? That's this show.

I was getting into and then wham series ended. Netflix are you at it again? This needs to be completed. It has been 3 years and no renewal? This is why you are losing subscribers. When you have a hit on your hands you must finish it. A definite must watch, it is very good.

Honestly this is just hilarious. You'll get a good feel of what kind of humour it is in the first episode. So if it's not you type of comedy then you can drop it right away. I get why Netflix marketed this as a love drama, but this is more of a comedy than anything else. There's 6 episodes around 40 minutes each, it tells a the story of the daughter of a mafia leader wanting to work as a body guard for a famous actor because she's a huge fangirl that has a crush on him. You'll either love it or hate it. I don't think there's really an in between. There's quite a lot of cheesy moments in it, but I guess that's expected. I consider this a hidden gem on Netflix.
