Ji Zhi De Gong Zhu Dian Xia (2025)

Soft, Sweet, and Criminally Underrated

I just finished The Royal Highness of the Princess, and I genuinely cannot believe how underrated this drama is. Poor marketing and the lack of popular “traffic” actors really caused it to be overlooked, which is unfortunate because the acting and emotional core are far stronger than its popularity suggests.

This is not a heavy or constantly tragic drama. In fact, it leans toward the lighter side, filled with sweet interactions, humor, and plenty of fluff. It gives you space to smile, relax, and enjoy the warmth of its characters. Then, without warning, certain scenes quietly hit you in the heart and leave you unexpectedly emotional.

I really like the acting of both FL's, Bu Zi Ying as An Ki Ze was outstanding. her performance was calm, restrained, and deeply affecting. She conveyed so much through subtle expressions and silence, making An Ki Ze feel intelligent, gentle, and emotionally layered. She shone just as brightly in the soft, tender moments as she did in the heavier ones. Furthermore, Han Mu Yi as A’Lan also deserves special praise.When A’Lan acted foolish or naive, it could be frustrating at times, but Han Mu Yi balanced it with sincerity and humor. She made those moments endearing rather than unbearable, and her comedic timing added lightness to the story.

One of the most touching aspects of the drama was the sisterhood between A’Lan and A’Zi.
Their bond felt genuine and heartfelt, full of care, protection, and unspoken understanding. Many of the drama’s warmest and fluffiest scenes came from their interactions, and their relationship added an emotional anchor to the story.

NOW LET ME COMPLAIN.

First of all, the unnecessary killing.
Killing Rufeng just to push the story forward was not needed. The ML already had strong motivation because his parents were dead. Rufeng’s death did not deepen the plot. It just broke hearts for no reason. He deserved a happy ending with XiXi, and I will never forgive this choice.

And then A’Zi and Yuwen Xiu.

I was rooting for them. I truly believed. I invested my emotions.

I am happy for the FL and ML, I really am, but what about them??????

Their ending absolutely destroyed me. Knowing that they never got their happy ending, not even in another life, is genuinely heartbreaking. That quiet, lingering tragedy hurt more than any dramatic death scene.

Why give us that chemistry, that hope, that tenderness, just to take it all away???

Despite all my pain and frustration, I still think The Royal Highness of the Princess is a hidden gem. The performances, the relationships, and the emotional sincerity carried this drama far beyond its popularity.

But writers, please understand this.
Tragedy is not the same as depth, and sometimes letting characters live and love is the more powerful choice.

I am emotional. I am devastated. And I am still recommending it.
