Prosecutor Princess, 2010/SBS

I had actually watched part of the first episode a while ago, but gave up on it halfway. I just couldn't stand Ma Hye-ri's (female lead portrayed by Kim So-Yeon character and her style. After having completed Scent of a Woman though I decided that I should perhaps give Prosecutor another shot, since I had not been exceptionally patient the first time. Patience though, is what is required in order to enjoy this drama.

The script itself is actually quite an interesting concept, but I would expect more from the team that also produced and directed Shining Inheritence. Prosecutor's story simply takes too long to unravel and it's not until halfway into the the 16 episodes that the actual plot is revealed. In my opinion, too many episodes are used to draw the background for the story. It is nice to pay attention to the supporting cast and a side stories, but if that means the main plot keeps being delayed, then something went wrong. Now, the side stories were interesting and shows that the director does care for more than just the lead actors and the main story line. Especially the developments between prosecutors Yun Se-Jun and Jin Jung-Sun, but also the legal cases that were handled by Ma Hye-ri were for the former entertaining and cute, and for the latter serious enough to give the drama some substance.

The main story arc was unfortunately a little disappointing compared to how well the supporting characters and plots were developed. The feelings between Ma Hye-ri and Seo In-Woo (male lead Park Si-Hoo seem unnatural and forced, which is ironic considering the key to beginning of their relationship was the fact that it was forced, intentional and with ulterior motives to begin with. I missed the chemistry between Ma Hye-ri and Seo In-Woo and despite the fact that I thought the chemistry between Ma Hye-ri and Yun Se-Jun was better, after all it was better that it turned out this way. While the chemistry may have been missing, the fact that it didn't turn into just another predictable drama does deserve credit. For a

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

A Dad.

So, how do you go forward after an ending as seemingly ultimate as JFA’s? Easy! You go backward instead. Backward in time, that is! This is Turnabout Memories, the intro to T&T and the first example of what would quickly become a series-defining trope: the flashback case. Every game from here up until the 3DS games includes a case that at least partially takes place a number of years before the present day. And why are we going back to the past? Why, because of the other series-defining thing introduced in this case, of course: alternative playable characters! We’re playing as Mia instead of Phoenix this time, specifically during her second ever trial. This is a feature I’ve always been a sucker for. Even though Ace Attorney takes place mostly in first-person perspective, changing which character the player is projecting onto and whose internal monologue you hear goes a surprisingly long way to make things feel fresh. As a bonus, this is also the first intro case that feels like an actual case. While other intro tropes like basic game system tutorials, easy testimony, a small cast, and no investigation segments were kept from The First Turnabout and The Lost Turnabout, the oft-maligned intro cutscene killer spoiler trope was nixed for this case, meaning it retains at least some of the mystery aspect the other cases are known for, though the small cast alone should still make it pretty obvious who the killer is.

That wasn’t the only trope they nixed, though. They also decided to let the intro case prosecutor actually be halfway competent and somewhat intimidating. Seriously, Winston Payne in his youth is no slouch. He makes strong arguments and basically bullies the inexperienced Mia. I wonder if he would’ve stayed like this forever, had Mia not destroyed his glorious pompadour with her final piece of evidence (unironically one of my favorite moments in the series). On a side note, the former “Rookie Killer” and his 100% appearance rate in the Ace Attorney intros (he or one of his relatives is always the prosecutor in the main titles; in the Investigations games, he instead makes cameos with minor speaking parts) is one of my favorite little recurring gags. It’s always funny to see how he’s going to be portrayed in each new game. That said, I will not be saying his name or mentioning him at all again during this series of retrospectives, because my other favorite running gag of his is how no one seems to remember his name or having met him before.

Well, toucan play at that game.

MC is a maid living a simple life tending a small princess, but unfortunately she gets in an carriage accident and transmigrates to the body of Kim Ji-a, the childhood fiance of the Chaebol heir Lee Sung-yeon. She's a younger daughter of an upcoming scummy company and is known as a high society Villainess, bullying and terrorizing every girl that comes near her fiance.

Unfortunately for her Lee fell in love with his poor and good secretary Sul Ma-eum and intends to break up his engagement, but she's threatened with expulsion from the family if that happens, can MC survive as Kim Ji-a?

I imagine the MC using what she learned watching the princess to avoid expulsion, getting in the good graces of her family meanwhile enjoying the comforts of modern life. How easy it's to do chores with modern tech. She tasting Korean food, thinking it's too spicy at first then learning to love it. Maybe she tries to reform the company or pinpoint their scummy ways in a scapegoat, maybe she ditches the family all together and enjoy the relative freedom of a modern woman compared to her previous life. She gets a cop ML because she was into knights in her previous life.

(Side note I find kind of strange the lack of cop MLs in Korean female-oriented media, they are more common in the rest of the world. I do see some lawyer/prosecutors types tho)

it's Hans free now..

Hi guys, new to writing here and just want to gather your thoughts on this opening chapter for my first story. I'm interested in general feedback amongst other things, like what you think about the writing style, narration, most importantly does it make you want to keep reading? The whole story is set around several days at the end of a war, centered around the peace talks. I was going for "such is life" feel, everybody is in a bad situation in this story and really they are just trying to get the best out of it or deal with the consequences of their actions. The chapter is trying to introduce the general feel for the rest of the story with world building, basic character introduction (the princess) and some gallows humor (maybe too literal in this case).

Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 1

Gerard dropped to his knees, setting his neck on a splintery wood stock of a menacing shade of red. It was wet, uneven and did not look comfortable at all, but then he did not need to be comfortable for long. Below was a wicker basket much like the ones his daughter was weaving at the mill, back when mills were still working. Maybe she made this one too?

It was a mighty fine instrument, this guillotine. One a carpenter couldn’t help but to admire. Such a fine instrument must have a name. After all, every good headsman should name his tool. He looked to the right, at a small bronze plaque, bolted to the wood. “The widowmaker” it read. What a cunt.

The stock dropped on top of him with a loud bang and the headsman pinned it into place. He swallowed. Next would be the blade.

It was sad it came to this, it really was, and no one was sadder than Gerard. All they wanted was a little justice of their own, so for once the little people did not have to pay the price of war. Seems that was too much to ask for. He knew they went too far, burning those buildings, looting those shops, hurting people. Nobody was supposed to get hurt, he told himself again and again, which of course was a lie. His heart ached for the city, he really did love Cote d’Perle, things just went a little too far.

He looked at the crowd, the thoroughly bored queen sat on the balcony of some bank at the front of the plaza, dazzling as always, more interested in her nails than anything else. It was just another Tuesday for her. Aristocrats on either side drank wine and complained about the unbearable heat. People watched with anticipation and little pity for Gerard.

A little tear rolled down his cheek when he no

Holy cow! Thank you everyone for the upvotes and awards! I wasn’t expecting this!

He should have a good vowel movement. His next diaper change could spell disaster though.

Making it all the way home and realizing that they forgot one of the containers:

Riceless

That was the punchline

Without missing a beat he asks "Daddy, do you know how much room you need to grow Fungi like that?"

I did not know.

So he tells me "as Mushroom as possible!"

So proud.
