Summary: The fairy tale goes... After the princess kissed the frog, it turned into a handsome prince and they lived happily ever after...
Yeah...right.
When you visit a little town called Guan Mei, you may meet Ye Tian-Yu. At first glance, she may seem like a shameless, money-grubbing, deceiving little schemer. And when you meet her family at their little grocery store called "Qian Lai Ye" (Money c'mon in), you will find the shameless, money-grubbing, deceiving little schemer trait runs in the family. But, please don't prejudge them. They are actually very kind-hearted townsfolk, as Shan Jun-Hao finds out when he gets involved in a mysterious car accident and loses his memory.
Okay, fine. The accident is not so accidental.
Shan Jun-Hao is a general manger of Senwell Hotel, in which his family owns 60% of the shares. His cold-hearted, cut-throat management style pisses quite a lot of people inside and outside of the hotel. So on the day of his engagement to his childhood friend, Fan Yun-Xi, he gets kidnapped. Not someone who takes it lying down, he fights for the control of the kidnapping car. The car crashes into a side railing and falls down a cliff. Luckily, he survives the crash and manages to climb back up onto the highway. Unfortunely, he is immediately hit by an oncoming car and knocked unconscious. And, who hit him? A little hint... her family owns a grocery store.
Shan Jun-Hao wakes up with no memory of who he is. Ye Tian-Yu and her family don't know who he is, either. Only Ye Tian-Yu's stepfather knows, but he is not telling. Not knowing where to return him to, Ye Tian-Yu recruits him to work for her family's grocery store and nicknames him "Dang Oh." And, they end up falling for each other.
Couldn't it have just ended like that?
Oh course not. Shan Jun-Hao has a fiancé who misses him terribly. And her grief is breaking Xu Zhi-Qian's heart. Xu Zhi-Qian knows and loves Fan Yun-Xi more than anyone. He tries to be her support, her comfort, her Shan Jun-Hao replacement. Yet, he knows he can't never replace Shan Jun-Hao. So he goes out searching for his love rival and discovers "Dang Oh" in Guan Mei. He tries to bring Dang Oh back to Fan Yun-Xi, but Dang Oh refuses to go because he doesn't believe he is Shan Jun-Hao. However, yet another car accident happens to Dang Oh and causes him to forget everything that happened after the previous car accident and remembers everything before it. So in other words, bye bye Dang Oh and hello Shan Jun-Hao.
Ye Tian-Yu still loves Dang Oh. Xu Zhi-Qian still loves Fan Yun-Xi. So, the two of them decide to fight for their love one last time. They make an agreement that if they couldn't get their love back, then they would go out with each other. Things happen, and eventually Shan Jun-Hao falls back in love with Ye Tian-Yu. But, Xu Zhi-Qian is already on the move to get Ye Tian-Yu to forget 'Dang-Oh' and go out with him.
So who will end up with who? Will Shan Jun-Hao be able to win back Ye Tian-Yu? Or, will he resume his original plan and marry Fan Yun-Xi?

Eh, not a terrible drama. It was alloted too many episodes so it goes back and forth a lot, which becomes annoying. Other than that, it is alright. If you like this drama, I suggest you watch the Korean drama "Save the Last Dance for Me." "Prince" was based off this drama they just added more comedy.
This was too cute! The lead actor looks weird at first but you kinda get used to it.
I agree with you tiffiany, the story plot of "frog prince" is too similar with "save the last dance for me" the only difference is that frog prince has some comedy, while save the last dance for me focuses on romance and business affiliations revolving around the story. I also like this frog prince on how they mixed in childish scenes, and on how th actor looks handsome the longer you look at him, and they look very good together, they have chemistry,they're cute! but it can't beat save the last dance, I suggest too that you watch that korean drama Save the Last Dance For Me. If you want some drama. :)
