It will eventually be on Paramount+ in the US. However, the same company (CJ ENM) also made the deal for their other show Pyramid Game which will be coming to Paramount+ on May 30, two months after it finished airing in Korea. I expect the same thing to happen with this show.
However, VIU (which is Free with Ads in some Asian countries) also got Pyramid Game and they released episodes as they were airing in Korea. So if you switch your VPN to say Singapore or the Philippines, you will probably be able to watch this show for Free on VIU.
*face palm* If they were going to change the title, at least make it something better. This is still terrible.…
Cinderella as a character in a story or used in a title is public domain since it is originally from the Brothers Grimm. Disney only owns trademarks to their version of Cinderella which would not interfere with any non-Disney productions.
The new title is still awkward af. "A Freaking Fairytale Dream" would be better. But I'd settle for them just making it grammatically correct by adding the "a" to "Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale".
Now titled as: Dreaming of Freaking Fairytale https://watch.cjenm.com/broadcast/sub/view?topcategory=DRM10&formatYn=N&contentsId=B120239357(Waiting…

The irony that the English title about an elite Academy (aka Hagwon) is grammatically incorrect. It should be either "The Midnight Romance In A Hagwon/The Midnight Romance In An Academy" or "The Midnight Hagwon Romance/The Midnight Academy Romance". Interestingly, the Korean title translates to "The Graduate" or "Graduation". Though I understand why you wouldn't use "The Graduate" since it refers to a pretty infamous movie with Dustin Hoffman.
The Korean posters have the English title as just "The Midnight Romance" which I like. We don't need it to specify that it's in an academy.
That line from her brother about sacrificing his acting career to find greater happiness seems ominous, like Sol & Sunjae will have to make more sacrifices to be happy together as if they aren't self-sacrificing enough for each other at every opportunity. However, it may be a red herring because in the 1st timeline her brother had sacrificed acting career as well and his life sucked: draining job, no girlfriend, living at home, and lost all his money in the stock market.
Her brother's life actually improved NOT because he sacrificed his dream, but that he allowed himself to love and be loved in return. I hope the same is true for Sol and Sunjae.
