I chanced upon The Substitute Princess's Love (偷得将军半日闲) while scrolling through my YouTube feed. One episode led to another because each episode is only 30 minutes long. So, it is a quick watch and being a low budget production, it is not surprising that the story will be short and simple. Frankly speaking, there is nothing really great about it but it is to be expected. You … [Read more...] about The Substitute Princess’s Love Review
