#CINDERELLA AND FOUR KNIGHTS DRAMAFEVER SERIES#

Likewise, I didn't enjoy the stereotypes in this story at all. Beautiful barbie-like female characters don't need to like fashion to look sophisticated. It played no part in the plot, and I wish writers would stop stereotyping fashion design major as a 'high class' thing. Plus, her interest in fashion design seemed useless. She was also incredibly stubborn for (literally) unsaid reasons while she could just go out and have a happy life while forgetting these main guys. She has the looks and she's from a well-raised background. However, her damsel-in-distress situations only turned her into a 'I don't care if I look evil, I just want to own one of these rich guys' kind of character. I thought she was going to grow into a likable second female lead because she was one of a few second leads that don't act evil towards the lead female character. Her character is an 'I-only-look-at-you' kind of pitiful(?) girl, but somehow the story (or her acting) made her evil.

I like Son Naeun as a member of A Pink, but I believe her acting is very bad вЂ“ or this character does not shine a light on her as an actress at all. It felt so much like the writers lured us into such F4 - Boys Over Flowers kind of settings, then ditched us to an extremely cliche plot that revolved more around the second lead female вЂ“ who I have to use the word 'annoyingly boring' to describe. The first few episodes promised you a love triangle which was cliche but still entertaining.ДЇrom somewhere early in the series, however, out of *four* knights: 1) one of them loses complete interest in the lead female and goes back to the second lead female he ditched long ago for unexplained reasons, 2) one of them grows to like the lead female yet takes care of the second lead female to an unreasonable extent, 3) one of them likes the lead female genuinely but, of course, the plot won't allow them to even meet and talk properly, 4) and the last one of them leaves the *knight* title ever so quickly and branches out to his own super cliche sub plot although he has so much potential in everything from acting to his looks to his chemistry with the lead female. They're trying to sell that this is a reverse harem kind of story, with one lead girl and four lead guys and such, but it only lasted probably up to the first few episodes. Sometimes the sub plots dragged on for too long and their sweet moments would restore my faith for this show.ДЇrom the title: Cinderella and Four Knights, there are no four knights at all. I could feel that they really care for each other. I grew fond of her the most and her character made me stick around.ДЄnother good point that somehow kept me around was the sweet moments and the chemistry between the lead characters. Most of the Korean dramas that go for either this generic reverse harem plot or the strong lead girl plot usually fail to deliver them naturally. The boys in the house genuinely like her, and I accept it. Eun Hawon character is really likable, and it's the only part that makes sense why this kind of reverse harem plot works. I'm saying she's strong as in not TOO comically strong or bratty as well. This kind of nice, independent, no-nonsense lead female character has been a rare item in the Korean drama industry.

Rewatch Value 1.0 I pushed my way through the entire series because there were some sweet moments that made it really worth watching, yet I still feel like I'm writing this review to criticize more than compliment.

What follows is a lot of shenanigans, love triangles, drama, and plenty of sass. His plans don't completely pan out, however, when the grandfather witnesses Ha Won's no-nonsense attitude towards Hyun Min and decides to hire her as a live-in butler and drill sergeant of sorts at Sky House. Hyun Min doesn't want to go, but ultimately ends up hiring Ha Won to be his date for 3 hours so he can upstage his grandfather. One day, their grandfather orders his 3 grandsons to attend his 5th wedding ceremony. With their wildly different personalities - Ji Woon a tough guy, Hyun Min a playboy, and Seo Woo a musician - they all deeply dislike each other and prefer to be as far away from each other as possible. Meanwhile, in another part of the city are three spoiled cousins, Ji Woon, Hyun Min, and Seo Woo, living together in a mansion called Sky House. Unattached from her father, step-mother, and step-sister, and poorly treated by them, Ha Won still manages to maintain her bright personality and strong set of morals, working various part-time jobs to pay for her upcoming university tuition fees and keeping her eyes firmly glued to her goals. Eun Ha Won is in her third year of high school with dreams of becoming a teacher.
