Princess Aurora

오로라 공주

South Korea · 2000 · 150 episodes

Sarcastic Warning: Contains Maximum Tropes. Brace yourselves for the saga of a secretly savvy chaebol heiress who, despite her privileged upbringing, is somehow not a spoiled brat and has a knack for solving other people's marital woes. She then falls for a seemingly perfect, irritable novelist whose only "flaw" is conveniently dramatic enough to sustain 150 episodes of will-they-won't-they. Get ready for family drama, corporate intrigue, and a romance that will undoubtedly require a grand, public declaration of love to overcome whatever minor inconvenience the male lead's flaw turns out to be.
