Adapted from Japanese manga, 'Romantic Princess' when first broadcast in Taiwan achieved high ratings, coming to China, although the first episode's viewership was even higher than HYSNSN, after that it couldn't match up to HYSNSN. On another side, many viewers have criticised the drama's exaggerated and showy plot, calling the plot childish, the lines idiotic, even fans who had rushed to watch the drama for Wu Zun's sake were calling out, "can't take it anymore."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wu Zun criticised for not being able to break away from the "pretty vase" image.
Besides denouncing the ostentatiousness of the show, there were also netizens who were dissatisfied with the leads' acting skills and the weakness of the plot, the viewership was boosted entirely by Wu Zun removing his shirt and baring his torso. Angela Chang's crying scene also received censure, netizens said, "The expressions of the Mai father and mother seem to be imitating that of Meteor Garden's Sancai's parents." Netizens also felt that Wu Zun was once again a vase, "The director kept arranging for Wu Zun to show his body, but even then that cannot cover the holes or the dragginess of the plot."
Wu Zun hearing China netizen's reactions was rather surprised, he said, "A lot of mature people in Taiwan also like to watch this drama, actually it's not counted as childish. The original plot is even more exaggerated, I feel that besides having to shout while eating at the table, which is indeed rather exaggerated, the rest is still ok." As for being called a vase, he didn't take it to heart, "Actually my acting skills can be said to have achieved a breakthrough, Jing this character has a lot of introspective scenes, I have tried hard to act, just that the viewer cannot see it."
