The second synopsis actually dives into the plot of the first and second episodes so it really is a beginning overview than a synopsis in the grand scheme of things. So overall from both synopses we know that Ma Hye Ri has an exceptional memory (close to photographic) and she cares more about frivolous things than for her current job as a newbie prosecutor (which her father did force her into). Meanwhile, educated prosecutor Yoon Se Joon begins to fall for her, but In Woo is always beside her-until Hye Ri begins to question what his motives are. Meanwhile, mysterious lawyer Seo In Woo takes her under his wing and helps the princess learn a thing or two about compassion in her work. Forced to become a prosecutor at the insistence of her wealthy father, she appears knowledgeable but unsympathetic to her new co-workers. Escaping the ceremony in favor of skiing and shopping, she has no idea that her weekend of frivolity will set off a chain of events that will change her life forever. Having graduated law school with little effort due to her superb memory and high intelligence, Ma Hye Ri has little on her mind at her graduation ceremony but the high-end fashion show going on at the same time. The writer of 2009 hit Shining Inheritance adds a romantic comedy twist to this traditional revenge story. The synopsis on DramaFever gives you a bit better grasp of what the first synopsis doesn’t tell you: I just found the initial character of Ma Hye Ri to be very hard to sympathize with and to understand. I don’t attribute this to bad acting on Kim So Yeon’s part.
In a 16 episode drama, that’s rather bad. I remember watching this drama and literally hating Ma Hye Ri for like the first 5-7 episodes. This 2010 drama starred Kim So Yeon as Ma Hye Ri (our reluctant prosecutor), Park Shi Hoo as Seo In Woo (our lawyer with a hidden agenda), and Han Jung Soo as Yoon Se Joon (our handsome, straight-laced prosecutor/widower with an adorable daughter).
Through her conflicts with senior colleages and struggles with difficult cases, however, Hye Ri gradually matures into a brilliant prosecutor with a sense of duty and justice. Despite her talents, she is more interested in being fashionable and dislikes hard work so she is far from being an ideal prosecutor and has doubts about her suitability for her job. Ma Hye Ri is a woman with an excellent memory and ability to focus, which allowed her to pass the bar exam with ease. If you don’t want anything spoiled, don’t continue on. Even with the flaws it did have, it was still better than this drama overall. It could be because the drama was penned by the writer of Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy. I honestly can’t remember what even motivated me to watch this drama…and finish it. The funny part about the synopsis of Korean drama Prosecutor Princess is that while not entirely untrue, it doesn’t give you really enough to go on and makes you think it will actually be something it is not.
