The Princess and the Matchmaker isLee Seung Gi's return to the bigscreen after his demobilization. In fact, the "national son-in-law" completed the film before enlistment, but it was "fermented" 2 years and 2 months after the film was closed to theaters.
It can be said that Princess and Changmin debuted at a favorable time for Lee Seung Gi (28/2) because at the same time, his favorite drama is on the small screen. Sadly, this is a bomb. Invested with a capital of 6.3 billion won, The Princess and the Matchmaker only attracted 1.3 million spectators to the theater while the breakeven was 2.3 million tickets. Where is this out? Watch movies before understanding, all due to the film ... lack of salt.
The Princess and the Matchmaker tells the famous Princess Songhwa ( Shim Eun Kyung ). From birth, Songhwa was thought to be a bad bearer (a form of numbness), which brought about the stirring of people around or even the court. As she grew up, her "reputation" was so distant that the public speculated that just looking at her face had been unlucky. Even so, Songhwa was also blamed for causing severe drought that killed the population, so much so that the royal court had to come together to pressure the king ... to recruit her.
Officials said that only the princess married, her black bear will no longer torture the people, the drought is over, the country is rescued. The king accepted the opinions of the authorities and proceeded to search the code, Poor Songhwa do not know how to avoid getting married. Still, she still wanted to see the brightest candidates that the court had chosen for the position of the proverb before the important day of her life. A bold decision has been made, Princess Songhwa began her journey to see her future husband. On that trip, she accidentally caught up with Seo Do Yoon (Lee Seung Gi), a well-known watchdog who is obsessed with the adventures of Songhwa and is always present. she is in danger.
With a pretty story about a black princess looking for a proverb, plus the topic of spiritual divination relatively different, can see The Princess and the Matchmaker has the potential to attract audiences to the theater. . The story of the blackness of Songhwa and the innocent superstition of the people around her also brought a lot of laughable material for the film. Not only that, the participation of lead actresses Shim Eun Kyung and Lee Seung Gi will make the audience more promising about the success of the film. However, in fact, this work did not take advantage of the above strengths, leading to an inauspicious result.
Although the genre of humor, The Princess and the Matchmaker is very ... pale. The laughing details in the movie are still quite small and not enough wit to make viewers laugh or at least have the impression that this is a comedy. This is really unfortunate because according to the analysis above, the film content is not lack of comedy material.
Besides the waste in the plot, the way of building character is also the cause of the film has faded more diluted. Princess Songhwa carries a role model of the female lead - because she wants to master a little bit but a little. This princess is quite pitiful, has a good personality, has a modern mindset compared to the time, but does not turn on a personality trait that really impressed the audience. If the scriptwriter exploit more naivete, into the poor nature of the burden of her black name, Songhwa may be lively and memorable in the eyes of viewers.
Not only the female lead, male character Seo Do Yoon also fall into the status of "lack of personality" aka lack of salt. Master or fortune-teller in the film is described as intelligent people, understand wide, have compassion and rich sense of gas. But all is just enough, not enough for this character to fully display the role of "mysterious cause reminiscence." With two shorts too, even Shim Eun Kyung and Lee Seung Gi - the stars who have charmed comedy - can not save the Princess and the Princess.
Not just a lack of humor, another serious "pale" of The Princess and the Matchmaker is the lack of surprise and climax. The film does not have a twist, in addition to the way of telling or editing of the film is safe and very "traditional", automatically from the beginning to the end so the viewer does not need to see all too well. the next variable. Meanwhile, the climax in the film is not enough, the solution is too simple and not convincing for viewers. With a huge array of hotels in the script, it's easy to understand why this classic flop collapsed the box office.
