The Crown Prince is kidnapped by mistake by a desperate father trying to save his daughter from a tragic fate.  While the Royal Physician’s plan seems to go wrong from the very beginning, it throws the Prince into an adventure with the man’s beautiful daughter.  And when the Prince returns to the palace, he will find that his future as a ruler is in jeopardy from enemies within his own family, and that his destiny with the woman is much more complicated than they could have imagined.

Missing Crown Prince is a romantic historical drama that is a spin-off of the drama ‘Bossam: Steal the Fate”. It has a unique story and characters that I enjoyed, and the leads did a nice job.  The focus on family relationships and the royal family themselves, rather than only using them as instruments of palace intrigue, gave it a more human emphasis that was interesting.  Although I felt like the drama would have been better with fewer episodes and the chemistry between the leads was a bit flat.  I give “Missing Crown Prince’ an 8 out of 10 ramen.
