Cinderella and the Four Knights

Totally deserve watching!!

Highly recommended, Actually before starting this drama i didn't have much expectations from it but while watching 2-3 episodes i was like no this is something else l, it's something which i was finding for a long time. It's just like the dramas which are for so loved by the watchers like boys over flowers, Love O2O, Descendants of the sun. OST, music, acting, story, cast are just the perfectly put in this. Also, it's my first time writing this much long review to any drama and the reason is becoz i am far so impressed by it and i want more people to watch and becoz it's so underrated drama on MDL it's just got rating of 7.8 overall and on IMDb not quite good too so I'm expecting it to get atleast more than 8.5 star rating becoz it really deserves. Also, if it didn't i also won't be here writing this review becoz i know i never wrote for any. Lastly, very sorry if there's any grammatical mistakes you see i am very excited so i didn't care about those. I am just writing whatever i'm feeling like. So please go watch it, if you didn't by now, becoz really you're missing a masterpiece. Thankyou!!

Cinderella and Four Knights (2016) - I like most of the characters in the drama but the storyline is just really meh for me. It's too usual, there is nothing new that I felt bad for the characters and the actors playing them. All I could remember is how I used to complain about this drama.

The acting is great for me. Both leads especially have been good actors and I have seen them in other dramas so no complain to that. The title is misleading for me since there were no 4 knights that was what I was expecting.

The music is not memorable.

I would not rewatch. I would not recommend this to others as well.

I am in love with this drama. This drama is really good. This is both funny and serious and It is perfectly-balanced in this matter. I really like the storyline of the drama. The acting of the actors was really good just perfect. The OSTs used in the drama were also really good. Park So Dam's acting was really good. Moreover, The acting of Jung Ilwoo, Ahn Jaehyun, Lee Sungmin and rest of the cast was really good. The drama was also quite hilarious at times. I really loved the drama. This was a new kind of drama and as I shipped Eun Ha Won and Kang Jiwoon from the start and they ended up together in the end, so I was really happy and I loved it. But one thing was that I think that they rushed up the things in the last episode as a lot happened in the last. But overall the drama was good and I would recommend it cause It is a must watch.

Here’s my review. (just letting you know beforehand that I just make reviews to show how I felt about the show, not necessarily about what should be improved.)

To start, this was very interesting to watch in my opinion. It got me hooked very well. There were many plot-twists that happened, which makes the show more tempting to continue.

I’m very glad that Hawon chose Jiwoon as they’re a very cute couple. Although, I liked Seowoo the most but it’s okay ahahaha..

I cried a few times during some sad scenes, which makes me like it a lot! I like shows that have a lot of romance, comedy, but also a bit of angst.

However, I am very glad that it ended happily because I’m not sure if I would take it if it was a sad ending.

Overall, I loved it so much!! This is so far my number one rated drama. I haven’t rated anything else a 10 :0

I feel like this really takes me back to that "boys over flowers" or "flower boy" period we had a couple of years ago, although there's a chance its still going on. Anyway, as the title indicates "Cinderella" is the poor girl who gets with the chaebal and the family is opposed to it or at least the"grandpa" and they try to tear them apart. The chaebal she falls in love with is of course the one that treats her the with some degree of douchery, but he later opens up to her and they make it through whatever comes their way.

This drama is pretty predictable and cliche but I found myself watching it because it was refreshing to me, a bit nostalgic as well to when I first started watching dramas. It also had some actors I've seen around and just gave it a chance. I think it's one of those dramas those dramas to watch after you've just finished watching a gooood drama that might have finished recently.

Story: The story is not the most original, seeing as it is a modern retelling of Cinderella with a twist. That being said, it was a fairly okay twist. Of course, it has your usual rom-com teenage-ish trope of pretty boys and poor main girl (I wouldn't hold that against it, though; many dramas are like this). It was not an overly special story or plot, but it had moments to hook you in. I found myself loving some episodes more than others. I want to say this was a drama I could not stop watching but, in fact, it was quite hard for me to finish. The best parts for me were not given enough screen time and the ending felt rushed and a bit cliche.

Acting/Cast: I loved many cast members, and hated other characters (there's always at least one lol). Park So Dam was the female lead, and I have never seen her in another show. For me, I really enjoyed her acting and the chemistry she had with Jung Il Woo. She has become a favorite for me. As for Jung Il Woo, I much preferred him in this role than his role in Flower Boy Ramen Shop. The maturity and playfulness were at levels that just seemed more appropriate for him. Ahn Jae Hyun has quickly become a favorite of mine, I loved him as the younger brother in You Who Came From the Stars, and I enjoyed him in this show. However, His relationship with Son Na Eun was overly obnoxious and tiring with the push and pull. Lee Jung Shin played his role very well, acting so perfect and jilted but loyal. I really enjoyed watching him. Choi Min Sung was quite good as well, very subtle nd I think many don't give him enough credit. He was very good. Overall the cast was not bad at all; everyone fit their roles. There were just characters you like, hate, and couldn't care less about.

Music: THIS SHOW HAD A WONDERFUL SOUNDTRACK. I enjoyed the music more than the show I think. I immediately downloaded the OST. The songs are recognizable, even when mixed and altered for different parts of the show. Each song used in te show fits so well, adding rather than distracting. Anyone who knows me knows how important that is. The sound effects that I remember were not too distracting, especially considering I can't remember any in particular.

Rewatch: I would not rewatch this, however, blooper compilations for it are hilarious. If some compilation of good and bad moments in the show came up (how some people put moments together for fan-made music videos? I might watch that). I do know some people enjoy it enough to rewatch all of the show or certain episodes. I would have to be very bored and have nothing else to watch.

Overall: This drama was alright, you love some actors and their characters and get incredibly tired of others. The music is the best part, the story was okay. I wouldn't rewatch this, even for background noise, but I know some will. I would give it about a 7.5.

Typical Old K-drama

typical old kdrama, she fell for the one who gave her the least attention and being mean to her. aka Boys over flowers and You’re beautiful.

Hye-ji character makes me very uncomfortable throughout the series…

Chemistry between Hawon and HyunMin were gold, I shipped them so hard even tho I know that it’s gonna be JiYoon but there I hoped. I dropped it later after I guessed that’s it’s gonna JiYoon who donate the organ to his grandfather, that’s not the only reason but also I could guess most of the plot after ep9 so I skipped and watch the last episode.

starts good but then meh…

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!!

I don't understand why didn't Eun Ha Won (Female Lead) pick Hyun Min. At first, I expected this drama to be good, even this started with many clichés such as Pretended Relationships and having a Poor Girl. Despite all of that I continued watching this drama. It is fun until episode 8-9 where Hyun Min confessed her feelings to Ha Won, the story just change as fast as the speed of light.
I did not expect that I would prefer second male lead (Hyun Min) for her. Since, there are so many good things that he done for the female lead than Ji Woon (the one Ha Won chose). I prefer Hyun Min since he is so warm to Ha Won and also he did so many things and favor for her. It is so unfair that the one of the three knights who criticizes her the mostand done the least for her is the one she chose. It happens in so many dramas for no reason... The female lead not taking the admiration of a man to be serious, that is why they try to pick the other one. I really hope that she just chose the better one.. I guess I should just move on from this drama. This drama could be better honestly...

BUT I WILL CONTINUE WATCHING THIS DRAMA TILL THE END AND HOPE IT WILL MAKE A REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENS...

I kept watching this one for a little bit because my friend was really into it, and the main character was pretty much the perfect female lead for this setup. And I liked the musician guy and the butler. And Ahn Jae Hyun (but not his character in this, sadly). But nearly all the guys in this are insufferable assholes who are all trying to manipulate Eun Ha Won for their own reasons. The show acknowledges that their actions are terrible, but blames their family lives and asks for pity for them. Welp, not getting any of that from me. They're jerks, plain and simple. And the closer Eun Ha Won would get to them, the more her sparkling, gutsy personality would disappear. I know South Korea has different ideas when it comes to feminism, and it makes it harder to find truly feminist dramas, but they are out there. This is not one of them.

During the first two and a half episodes
I thought the FL was whiney and repetitive.
I thought the drama was full of over-the-top cliches.
I thought the music was too loud
I thought this was boring and predictable
I thought this was really bad.
That was when I watched two episodes, before I gave it another chance

Maybe because the timing was good (this time), the third episode started getting a lot better and the chemistry was so good.

Things were simple and light, I started empathizing with the characters, and I actually really enjoyed it. I kept looking forward to the episodes.

I was able to look past the cliches and enjoy it

The OST is like of classic older dramas which I missed for a while.
