Like scrolling dating apps at 2 AM , technically romantic, mostly just mildly depressing
"Midnight magic? Try convenience store small talk and chaebol trauma at 2 AM." đ
Cinderella at 2 AM: 6.5/10 ( at best ) â A Slow-Burn Romance Where the Fire Barely Simmered and the Plot Hit Snooze
âš THE GOOD:
Modern Cinderella vibes â No shoes lost, but pride? Regularly.
Cute concept â âWhat if love bloomed... in fluorescent lighting and emotional exhaustion?â
Side couple supremacy â The in-laws had more chemistry, better pacing, and a full plot. Who greenlit the leads?
đ€ THE âWAKE ME WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENSâ MOMENTS:
Slow burn? Try glacial. Iâve seen bananas ripen faster.
ClichĂ©s on tap â Rich guy, cold mom, career girl with traumaâbingo!
FLâs vibe â Strong and silent, or just quietly confused for 16 episodes?
đ THE âJUST HUG OR SOMETHINGâ FACTOR:
Romance was⊠present. Like background music at a bank.
Kisses? Sparse. Tension? Polite at best.
The chemistry felt like coworkers who once shared an Uber.
đŻ VERDICT:
"Like scrolling dating apps at 2 AMâtechnically romantic, mostly just mildly depressing."
Watch if: Youâre into ultra-soft love stories, mild plot drama, and zero risk of emotional whiplash.
Skip if: You like momentum, passion, or the occasional sign of life.
Best paired with: â Reheated coffee, emotional detachment, and that one friend who swears âit gets better by episode 10â (it doesnât).
