My Favorite n Ima Dude Like Cmon
Let me just say real fast i hate female lead not because i hate females or I'm sexist its as a male myself i can relate more to a male lead than a female lead but this ultimately became one of my absolute number one favorites as a k drama and even though it was a female lead i could still find things that were so good with the story and productionThe Character Drama and Character Development To Me Was By Far One of The Best Iv Seen From Most K Dramas How Ha Won Went From Tom Boyish To More Girlish But Keeping Some of That Tom Boyishness and i Think Its That Tom Boy in Her That Made Me Feel Like Her And Ji Woon Were Meant To Be Really The Rebellious Guy With The Tom Boy Strong Girl Is Perfect I Think The Bad Reviews Come From People Wishing She Would Have Got With The Other Brothers But This Ending Was The Best Outcome And This Show Had The Perfect Amount Of Romance Comedy And Anticipation

Funny, cute + sweet
This was super cute and funny. I really enjoyed it! There were some slow parts, but it has a slow burn. I loved the female leads relationship with all the guys! I feel like she had something special with each of them. She was really amazing, throughout the story she stayed true to herself and wanted to do what she thought was right for the ones she cared for. I think I rooted more for her to pick Kang’s Hyun min, he was my favorite, even though he was arrogant. He really grew on me. I did love how the story unfolded, and I look forward to more shows with these actors.Was this review helpful to you?
Storywise C4K could not be more cliche. Seriously, pretty much everything about the story was typical rom-com. The plot makes you think you'll get a total reverse harem story but that storyline dies pretty much in episode one since everyone who watched a few rom-coms before knows who ends up with who or at least who doesn't end up with the other person. That is actually also the only reason why I watched it. If it was really a harem story I would've skipped the drama.
Characters
The female lead is amazing. There are plenty of headstrong or stubborn or earnest female leads in the history of dramas, but Eun Ha Won takes that to a whole different level and she does it in a charming way. I was seriously afraid she was gonna be over the top but she was like...a real human being I guess? Someone who didn't seem out of a drama but more like a normal person, you'd meet on the street, and that was so refreshing.
The other characters are pretty cliché, as well as there is a lot of character development you can expect beforehand. Another thing I have to praise though is the fact that finally we have a second female lead that is kinda a love rival but also a friend. She doesn't hate Eun Ha Won and wants to be friends with her, which I think is like a total turnaround from other dramas.
Otherwise the drama totally lives off its relationships and the interactions that come with it. Funny comebacks, lovely couple scenes, and so on and I spend pretty much every episode laughing my head off or being glued to the dramatic scene.
For me C4K is a jewel in disguise because you expect your typical rom-com and you'll get exactly that but in such a refreshing and bubbly way you'll want to giggle your heart out. I totally recommend it for people in a drama slump!!!

Let’s weigh Cinderella and Four Knights on our show beam balance and see how well this rom-com fares.
Good Weights
Ah Jae Hyun: I liked him from his first scene itself. His chemistry with the Park So Dam was far more electric than that with Jung Il Woo. I was rooting for Hyun Min (Ah Jae Hyun) for the longest time despite knowing the fact that Ha Won will eventually end up with Kang Woo. I was actually hoping for the show makers to surprise the audience and let her go with Hyun Min. His chemistry with Hye Ji (Son Na Eun) was just meh… maybe because Hye Ji herself was so meh on the show. Couldn’t they have given him more screen time? He was so good!
Park So Dam: This new age Cinderella is smart strong, brave, and indomitable. So Dam may not be an exceptional Korean beauty but her tomboy looks helped her look convincing in the show. She isn’t the perfect Cinderella but most certainly was the perfect Ha Won. She acts well and shares good chemistry with all the three Kang cousins.
Melodious OST: I give the show’s OST a big giant humongous thumbs up! Ji Woon and Ha Won’s love song ‘For You’ (the ballad version) gives you the feels. Its beautiful lyrics ‘…you’re the only one for me….I’m the only one for you’ perfectly captures what Ji Woon feels for Ha Won. ‘My Romeo’ by Jessi always reminds me of the first few episodes that were dominated by Hyun Min. It is a fun and peppy song that suits all the amusing and mischievous instances on the show. Finally, the song played mostly when someone (read Hye Ji) was brooding on the show, Apink’s ‘Without You’ is a song that will stick in your memory even when you do not really get the lyrics.
Bad Weights
Too Farfetched: Now tell me why will a chaebol (extremely rich businessman) grandfather hire a young girl to change or reform his young grandsons? Why would a grandfather keep a young girl in a house full of testosterones ooops…. I mean young good-looking boys and not expect her to fall for even one of them? He is aware of how rebellious those boys are, so what made him think that a lame ‘dating’ ban will stop the girl from falling in love with any of the boys. Had Grandpa threatened them with disownment; they would have all come wagging their tails behind him and he would have to neither spend money on Ha Won nor face the threat of one of his grandsons falling in love with a poor helpless girl.
Too Clichéd: Actually, rom-com’s like these are always heavily clichéd. The hero is always there to help the girl under every circumstance. He always reaches her wearing a jacket so he can offer it to her. He will always be around her when she is lonely and upset. He will always offer a shoulder to cry on when she is sobbing. This show had it all. It is a typical romantic drama and is nothing out of the box.
Though the show beam balance tilts with good weights, Cinderella and Four Knights is not a perfect drama. It is not even an ideal drama. It is a typical clichéd drama where you know what will happen next. However, despite the predictability people watch such dramas only for the ‘aww’ moments. And this show has plenty of them. Its good-looking cast is the cherry on the cake. I liked this show because it was funny and sweet. There was nothing complicated was entertaining for me.
If you like predictable stories with lots of lovely moments to swoon over then go for this one. Binge watch it over the weekend. Trust me you will not regret it.

light. fun. entertainment. very well executed.
flaws? you betcha. logic gaps? yep. dropped story lines? uh huh. do I care? nope. I loved this. the flaws above were minor and did not impact my enjoyment at all. I am still recovering from the trauma of The Glory and Castaway Diva, so I loved that the "drama" here is light and resolves itself quickly. to me this show delivers what it is meant to deliver. fun. romance. mild drama. mild sad bits. I giggled, and my eyes watered, and I simply enjoyed the heck out of it. I have watched about 70 kdramas and have not seen any if these lead actors so bonus - I get to add a bunch to my queue.Was this review helpful to you?

Honestly I know there's mixed reviews of this drama but for me it was 9.5/10. I liked the plot, the characters, the chemistry among them. I liked the enemy to lovers kinds trope and how their past was also intertwined without them knowing. The osts are soooo gooood. The only thing I honestly disliked was when the grandpa didn't even apologize for his doings. I honestly didn't like his character though without him the drama won't even happened lol. But I've rewatched this quite a few times and I never got bored of it. Was this review helpful to you?

A very sweet and sincere k-drama
I don't really give bad ratings or write bad reviews for k-dramas, because maybe I didn't get right what the idea was, or the metaphors used, or... whatever. I don't want to negatively inspire other people to avoid watching it, because maybe it's exactly their genre and style. I have seen on some discussion sites plenty of completely, but completely contradictory opinions. I loved this series. And here is why:1. Park So-Dam and the boys played really well (oh well, the truth is that I didn't watch too many dramas with mediocre acting, let aside bad one).
2. The story is really good and solid (by solid I mean consistent, with no unnecessary twists and nonsenses).
3. The main musical theme is really good and sticks with you (like the ones from One Spring Night or Encounter).
4. There are negative characters (obviously, it's a Cinderella theme), but except from the classic ones, the others are just mild).
5. Female lead's positivity despite the problems she faces is very inspiring.

Literally watch any other show.
This is one of the worst k drama to become popular in recent years. Defiantly the worst K drama in Netflix (US). Editing is very bad. It has weird transition and cut scenes. Its like the creators thought that if nothing cool happens every few minute the audience will lose interest. Characters are all cartoon. You can tell who is good or bad immediately. May be this show was meant for kids. All the actors seems trying their best with the crappy writing. But lead female didn't seem to fit the bill. Her character is supposed to be smart, strong, respects elderly, beats up grown adults in fight, does multiple job to save up for college.....typical strong female lead things convincingly. But she didn't seem to be able portray those thing. Literally watch any other show instead you'll have a better time.Was this review helpful to you?
