Triad Princess

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.

I was so disappointed when I finished episode 6 only to discover there's nothing after it :( Producers and Netflix, please give us a second season!

First, I can't understand all the negative reviews. There are 6 action packed, full of great human interaction episodes. I am a super fan of Jasper Liu and he did not disappoint, he was super charming, quirky, quixotic, funny, romantic, and athletic. I'd never seen Eugenie Liu who played the Princess, but she was also great. Be alert- lots of action, plot twists,side characters. Jasper is a top star, who was attacked and the Mafia princess rescues him. His agency hires a bodyguard, aforesaid princess (note that her dad is trying to get her married). What follows are some sweet, somewhat scary, cute, athletic episodes. Her dad does not believe that an actor should be her husband. Granted, Jasper had not even agreed to date her. There are some very funny scenes involving mafiosi who are quite lazy, don't follow orders, ...But Jasper was kidnapped and thrown into a river. Twist - when she was growing up, she had a quite large male playmate who was the son of a partner Mafia clan. The parents agree that they should marry. He is now slim, gorgeous, ...Jasper is again taken. Along the way, a number of very witty characters voice their opinions and urge them on or try to prevent them rom being together. Each episode is new, fresh, exciting. Does love prevail? Watch out to see.

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.
