U-Prince The Series: The Absolute Economist (2016)

Almost unbearable to watch

I’ve watched all the U-Prince series, and I can confidently say this one is by far the worst. To be fair, you can't expect too much from the U-Prince franchise. Most of the installments are short, lighthearted romcoms with simple storylines and writing, which is exactly what I was expecting going into this drama. The other parts delivered exactly that vibe, so I thought this one would be no different. However, it really let me down. Sure, there are a few cute and fluffy moments, but the romance itself felt more like puppy love than anything that would make me invest emotionally. Honestly, I can’t believe that these two would have lasted more than a month after the show ended before they got bored of each other and broke up.
I had a hard time connecting with any of the characters. The ones I didn’t actively dislike, I simply didn’t care for. Both of the leads were extremely childish and behaved like they were in middle school. The female lead is not only immature but also a fairly unpleasant person, and I appreciated that the drama didn’t try to paint her behavior as normal or acceptable. As for the male lead, he’s also far from being a good person, though I won’t go into detail to avoid spoilers. Unlike with the female lead, however, the drama actually tried to excuse the male lead’s shitty behavior. The childish antics of both characters resulted in more cringe-worthy scenes than I could count, and that’s not the only reason why this drama was hard to sit through. The acting is mediocre at best, and the supposed chemistry between the leads was practically nonexistent. The only reason I’d ever consider rewatching this is for the brief cameo of Aurora, who was a shining moment in an otherwise forgettable show.
If you’re thinking about watching a U-Prince series but can’t decide which one to pick, I would highly recommend any other part except this one. It truly is a major waste of time. It’s not just weak by U-Prince standards—it’s one of the most forgettable dramas I’ve ever watched.

Story: the story-line is quite nice. it was arrange nicely. it was funny, cute and sweet at the same time. the story was explain nicely that u can understand everything that happen in the series. and i think 4 ep is enough though. seriously recommend to those who are bored right now. go and watch it !

Acting/Cast: the acting is good,.. the guy are very flirty. the girl are damn flirty and funny. it was so annoyingly cute and cringe watching both main lead. the villain girl will make u feel annoying, but not like any other typical series where the villain girl suddenly hold a gun to kill main female lead. the villain here is more like typical jealous young adult girl.

Music: the ost ? not really remember,, haha

Rewatch: i`ll rewatch it when i want to find something that is annoyingly cute.. cute and annoying, hahaha.
