That's more like it, episode 2 worked way better for me. If it keeps up like this, this could be awesome. Also, I'm infinitely grateful to the stylist that dressed Ji Chang Wook in a leather jacket. When I see a hot guy in a black leather jacket it does things to me.

Not sure how I feel about it yet. I really want to like it, but... eeeh. The style is a bit overly dramatic, sometimes so that it becomes unintentionally funny. And all that choir music is already getting on my nerves. The fight scenes are not as good as I'd hoped. The one in the subway made me dizzy. But I liked the one at the end of the episode where Ji Chang Wook took out those guards one by one, that was badass and the kind of thing I want to see. I'll hang on for a couple more episodes and see if it improves once the story gets going. On to episode 2!
Ps. Sparkly blue face masks?!

If hadn't been for the great casting, I probably would have passed on this. But I'm so glad I gave it a chance, because it's so sweet and so much fun! Seo In Guk and Nam Ji Hyun are absolutely adorable together! The story works so much better than I would have guessed, the pacing is good and the characters are fun and interesting. Looking forward to the next episodes!

Yeah, I'd have to agree. This drama was supposed to be about Ha Won and bringing the boys together as a family, but they wasted so much time on Hye Ji. It's a real shame. Like, I've enjoyed this drama a lot - at least for the first half - but it could be so much more than what it is.

Dramagods, please let this be as awesome as it is in my mind. I need this.

"Edible make up", lol. Burn.

See, I don't think Hyun Min was toying with Ha Won, I think he was just confused about his feelings. He's spent so much time dating women he didn't feel anything at all for and at the same time being in denial about his feelings for Hye Ji, but Ha Won obviously made him feel something. He was even dreaming about her. It just wasn't as deep he he thought it was, and he only realized this - along with how he still feels about Hye Ji - after Ha Won rejected him. That's how I saw it, anyway.

Agreed. Terribly acted, terribly written character, so out of place in a drama that's supposed to be fun and fluffy.

Hyun Min should be with someone who makes him light up the way he does with Ha Won. Hye Ji just sucks the life out of him. Like she does with everything else.

Same!

Exactly. That's a good comparison.

"You could have died"... "Don't do it again. I won't ever forgive you." Aah, so good! I love So and Soo together so much!

Dramabeans posted the recap for episode 9. There are some excellent comments at the bottom, especially those about Hye Ji. I really recommend reading it

http://www.dramabeans.com/2016/09/cinderella-and-the-four-knights-episode-9/

After last week's weak episodes, I'm kinda nervous about seeing the coming episodes this week. I'm worried the show peaked in episode 8, and it's all gonna be downhill from here. And it's a shame, because I was looking forward to this drama ever since I heard about it and the cast they had chosen. And it turned out to be everything I had hoped for: bubbly, pretty, silly and fun escapism. Pure visual comfort food. But a lot of that fun mood was absent last week, too much time spent on Hye Ji instead of our Cinderella, and the story seemed to be slowing down when it should be moving forward. Well... we'll see I guess. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised come friday, but with Hye Ji moving in to Sky House, I don't know...

It's just really hard for me to understand why this drama seems to expect so much sympathy for Hye Ji. Ha Won praised her devotion to Hyun Min. Are you kidding me? That devotion looks a lot like stalking to me. And she because Ji Woon is so protective of Hye Ji, she keeps using him to fight all her battles and even to make Hyun Min jealous. And she's still presented like this poor, tragic figure we're supposed to feel sorry for.
But why? Why should I feel anything for her at all? Why, drama, why? Explain it to me like I'm a five year old.

Heeelll yeah! Finally had the time to catch up on this one. Love it love it love it. Can't wait for the next episodes!

Rewatching for the fourth time. Still loving it.

Well said.

Every time Hye Ji comes on screen the pace slows down to a crawl. Ever since this drama started I've been wanting to feel something for her, but I just freaking can't. This character is just so bland. And I hate that they're pushing Hyun Min together with her. The chemistry between them is like a black hole. And I hate seeing what it's doing to Hyun Min's character, the more they're pushing this ship. I don't want to see him walk around with a thundercloud over his head, I miss the funny guy that stole my heart from day one. *groan* WHY did I have to go and get Second Male Lead Syndrome, why?! It's giving me a headache. I mean I can accept that he won't end up with Ha Won, but come on... if that's the case, couldn't they pair him up with a more fun character. I hate this.
I'm just gonna pray to the drama gods that for his next drama, Ahn Jae Hyun's character gets to be paired up against someone fun, and with off the charts-chemistry. I'm gonna need it to get over this.

Lol, so true. When the first male lead is that nice, what's a poor sufferer of SLS to do? *sigh* This frustration is no joke.

Oh, thank god! I was beginning to think I was the only ghost left on this sunken ship. There are so many on the Ji Woon side now - which I can totally understand, because his character has grown a lot these past few episodes. But I still love my little funny drama queen Hyun Min more than anyone. Second Male Lead Syndrome sucks, and it's even worse when you have no one to moan about it with. So I'm really glad I saw your post. I really hope Ahn Jae Hyun gets cast in another rom-com, where he plays the lead. This genre suits him, and I want to be able to enjoy him in a role like this where I know there's actually some hope for him to end up with the awesome female lead.

I am 100% positive she faked it. And it pissed me the hell off. 1, because it was a stupid, disgusting and manipulative trick. And 2, because she scared Hyun Min and got him to jump in the water when he didn't even have a change of clothes with him. I can't stand that girl.
