Goodbye My Princess is a drama adaption of the novel Eastern Palace by Fei Wo Si Cun. It aired from February 14 - March 25, 2019.
This drama first caught my attention when I accidentally happened to stumble across a clip from the final episode. This particular scene definitely aroused my curiosity so I decided to look for some mvs and trailers to see if it's worth to watch and the moment I finished seeing those those videos I was completely sold.
I waited until the drama had finished its broadcasting so that I don't need to wait impatiently every week. I finally started it this week and just finished binge-watching all the 52 episodes of Goodbye My Princess in 3-4 days and I've got to say that this is no doubt one the best dramas I've seen and it has gone to my top favorite drama list. As many of you already know, I am normally not a fan of palace dramas and politics so I always stay away from these type of dramas yet Goodbye My Princess managed keep my interest for all 52 episodes and I seriously loved this drama.
It also made fall in love with the main leads who are actually newcomers and this is their first time being leads. I'm glad they gave new actors a chance to shine and I am really pleased with their casting choices, especially the main lead Chen Xing Xu who plays the Crown Prince Li Cheng Yin / Gu Xiao Wu. This young actor was able to capture the essence of his character so well and managed to portray such a complex and manipulative character so convincingly. I was honestly impressed with his acting considering how young he is and this was also his first time in a lead role. To think that he was only 21 years old when they filmed this drama. Such a promising young actor whom I wish to receive more and more recognition and successful lead roles in the future. I am definitely a fan now :3
Li Chen Yin is not your typical male lead nor is he a hero like most of us have used to seeing in dramas. His character is written for us to love and hate. I am pretty sure many viewers won't like this character considering all the things he did to the female lead and the people around her. However, for me, I actually enjoyed this refreshing change and for once, the male lead is someone who you can actually consider as evil because he was so ruthless, cold and manipulative. Despite all this, he did love the female lead wholeheartedly. I just couldn't hate Li Chen Yin and because the actor did such a good job on portraying this character I was always enjoying his performance :)
Has anyone here seen this drama and loved it as much as I did? If you haven't, I still hope that you will give it a chance because you might end up loving it like I did.
