Princess Hours is a South Korean romantic comedy-drama series that revolves around the story of a high school girl named Shin Chae-kyeong, who marries the crown prince of Korea, Lee Shin. In season 1 episode 10, we see the continuing tension between the two leads, due to their misunderstandings and their previous relationship. The episode starts with Chae-kyeong wanting to attend the school festival with Lee Shin, but she learns that he has already promised to attend with his ex-girlfriend, Hyo-rin. This leads to Chae-kyeong feeling hurt and betrayed as she thought Lee Shin only had feelings for her.
As the day of the festival approaches, Chae-kyeong feels anxious and nervous, not knowing what to expect. She decides to confront Hyo-rin and Lee Shin, but things do not go as planned. While talking to Hyo-rin, Chae-kyeong learns that Lee Shin has not moved on from their past relationship and that he still has feelings for her. This revelation leaves Chae-kyeong heartbroken, yet she decides to not give up on their marriage.
Meanwhile, Lee Shin is having a tough time, too. He gets into a physical altercation with his brother, Prince Yu, over his interference in his relationship with Chae-kyeong. Lee Shin is also struggling with his growing feelings for Chae-kyeong, but he cannot bring himself to open up to her. He is still conflicted about his past feelings for Hyo-rin, and he does not want to hurt Chae-kyeong.
The episode showcases the complicated relationships between the characters and their struggles with their insecurities and past traumas. Chae-kyeong's loneliness and insecurity are palpable in every scene, as she tries to navigate her way through the difficulties of being a new bride in a royal family. Similarly, Lee Shin's struggle with his feelings and his desire to protect Chae-kyeong from his brother's interference show his softer side.
As the day of the school festival arrives, Chae-kyeong puts on a brave face and decides to attend the festival on her own. She runs into a handsome young man, who asks her to help him with a makeup booth. Although hesitant at first, Chae-kyeong decides to go ahead and teams up with the young man. They create a beautiful makeup ensemble, which is a hit among the students. Chae-kyeong's confidence and talent shine through as she makes new friends and enjoys her first day in high school.
The episode ends with Lee Shin showing up at the school festival, looking for Chae-kyeong. He sees her with the handsome young man, who turns out to be her classmate, Yul.
