Cinderella and the Four Knights (2016)

Awesome series

Story was intriguing, gets you in the hook the moment you start watching.


Cast was awesome, they portrayed their roles very well, and loved their interactions not a single dull moment. The main couple Ji Woon and Eun Ha Won are so cute together, and Hyun Min and Hye Ji are cute too as a couple and loved the singer Seo Woo and Lee Yoon Sung the assistant to the chairman.

Music, well I just loved it. The music comes in the best moments and it gives you the feeling you’re supposed to feel when watching the events of the story.

Development of the story was well done, and the paste of the story was great.

I will definitely re-watch and buy some of the songs of the soundtrack.

Thank you for producing such a lovely story with awesome music and cast.

To the producer, the writers, and the whole team who made, and participated in the creation of this awesome series, a big thank you!
(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

I really enjoyed watching this series.

Bien empezemos.
Desde hace tiempo me recomendaron este drama, incluso una amiga lo miro mientras estaba en emision y me dijo que estaba genial, asi que decidí darle una oportunidad.

Para empezar...¿Porqué lo llamaron así? ¿Cenicienta y los cuatro caballeros? Empezemos con lo de Cenicienta. En el primer episodio nos cuentan la historia de Cenicienta y la protagonista nos da a entender que eso no sucede en la vida real, y lo que la historia nos quiere decir es que sí le puede pasar.
A mí me desesperan mucho las protagonistas que son "dejadas" , si bien es cierto que nunca se dejaba de las demás personas, nunca le hizo frente a su madrastra ni hermanastra, (muy bonita). Se veía hasta tonta.

Ahora...¿4 caballeros? Para ser honesta, yo llegué a pensar que la serie seria tipo Hana Yori Dango, ya saben la idea los F4 que son ricos y tienen poder y que ayudan a la chica. En ciertas partes si lo eran, pero no se veian tan cool. Y no eran 4, solo eran 3, el guardaespaldas realmente solo estuvo con ellos los primeros episodios, no se creo un lazo tan fuerte de amistad.

Ahora, en cuanto al romance. Fue interesante la idea de que Hyun Min quisiera a la protagonista, aunque solo era por capricho pero quería que fuera para el. Se preocupaba por ella, y en algun punto de la serie llego a querer estar con ella, pero de la nada , volvio a renacer el amor que le tenía a Hye Ji (que le falto piso para arrastrarse porque basicamente todo el programa se la pasó llorando, buscandolo, le encantaba el rechazo y ya cuando el chavito quizo dijo PUES AHORA NO...porque...mujeres no? ) y se olvidó completamente de la protagonista en el sentido amoroso. Y eso como que aburrió un poco ya que el unico impedimento que tenían Ha Won y Ji Woon era el abuelo que no queria que estuvieran juntos porque ella es pobre y se sabe que en corea hoy en día eso influye mucho para las relaciones, sobre todo si eres de una familia dueña de la empresa mas importante de Corea.

Ji Woon, me gusto el personaje , aunque a Il Woo no le queda mucho eso de ser cabroncillo, cosa que al final se le fue quitando y termino siendo la cosa mas linda de todo el mundo ♥.
En cuanto al pobre de Seo Woo, definitivamente quedo en el olvido su relacion con la protagonista, porque como siempre casi no tenian tiempo de pasarla solos y mucho menos de confesarle sus sentimientos (me recordó al papel que hizo su compañero de banda, YongHwa, en la serie You´re Beautiful) . Me gusto que la amiga de la prota, se volviera cercano a el, y me hubiera gustado ver algo entre más entre ellos.

Le falto un villano mas fuerte a la historia, ya que la madrastra y la hermanastra a pesar de que eran muy feas con ella, yo sentia mas coraje de que se dejara, a sentir odio por hacerle eso. Y al final me agradaron esos personajes, las mostraron como una forma muy chusca de como la gente quiere subir desesperadamente de nivel socio-economico en Corea. En cuanto a la esposa del presidente, la comprendo en lo que hizo pero no la justifico, yo que el presidente no la hubiera perdonado pero quiza no quedó muy bien de la operación por eso la perdono.

En resumen el drama es regular, si te atrapa pero aburre en muchas partes. Me gusto mucho el OST , obvio ya lo descargué. No lo volvería a ver, al menos no dentro de poco tiempo.

wtf was going on in this show

i dont know who woke up one day and thought "yeah itd be a great idea to make a kdrama of 4 cousins who HATE each other fall in love with the same girl" ????????? like bffr. i thought this was gonna be something similar to the 3 musketeers ... oh boy i was so wrong. this kdrama was not even memorable which says a lot about its impact ..... but what i can tell u is that it was not the best. the female lead is an orphan, broke, and randomly runs into the grandfather of the 4 cousins and ofc he decides "yeah this broke sensitive emotional girl can definitely be the mediator for family drama even tho her own family hates her!!!!" again ???????? oh and ofc he bribes her with money to do it all .... anyway all of the cousins have a distinct personality but yk what im still curious about to this day ... the 4th man who "likes" her wasnt even like ..... showed??????? the first cousin is this guy who has beef with his ex gf ... and she also happens to be the best friend of another cousin (who is the male lead) .... and he uses the female lead to make his ex gf jealous but then actually ends up liking her ??? like damn bro pick a struggle please ... and the male lead (surprise surprise is who she ends up with) is the typical stereotypical "badass" like no ... bro i rewatched the trailer the other day and why the hell was he beating up a gang at a high school im so confused??????? why is there even a gang????? these are rich ass men wtf are you doing there ??????? he was also so rude to the female lead so idk why she was so damn attached to him .... and he was so nice to his best friend like ugh ew red flag .... please it was just too much. ... and the 3rd cousin was a singer/song writer and lowkey the nicest but NOOO OBVI she didnt get with him ... ok but the thing is idfk who the 4th guy was?????? like god i hope it wasnt the grandfather .... anyway there was so much about this show that was interesting like the 2nd female lead ..... she drowned one time ???? and the acting was bad like ok i get it its hard to act like ur drowning but i genuinely couldnt tell if the character was purposely drowning to get her exs attention (cuz he was there) or if the actor couldnt act like she was drowning .... anyway yeah this show was just so ... interesting ... but the ost did eat MYY ONNNEEEEE ANNND ONLLY YOOOOU yeah id rewatch just to talk shit ngl but other than that yeah its not worth it dont waste ur time

A Cute Watch For What It Is

As a long time K-Drama fan, I pick my dramas on actors I like, or if it's a general genre I enjoy. I am an absolute sucker for rom-coms. Rom-coms are such a hit or miss in the K-Drama world. I walked into this one with zero expectations and actually enjoyed it. If you take it for what it is, it's a cute drama.

With that said ... ONTO THE REVIEW!!

Story wise, I thought it was an absolute mess. it started off with this cute build up to the idea of "Cinderella" and a quirky montage/backstory of each of the characters.

The first three-ish episodes of what I thought was the story that would carry the drama quickly fizzled out to unrequited and awkward one-sided love hexagons? The whole premise of "become a family" gets lost, but magically is perfect at the end.

Hye Ji made for a terrible "love triangle antagonist". Her backstory was stale and she was such a third-wheel character with no real potential.

The acting itself, I thought was as good as it can be. Each actor made their character believable and shaped them to the best of their ability and it goes to give them credit to that.

The OST was my jam! Not only did I run and add all the main songs to my spotify, but absolutely sang along each time they made the tune hit during the dramatic scenes.

As for rewatch value, I wouldn't be opposed to playing this in the background while I knit or crocheted. I'd definitely opt to skip some of the fluff episodes.

Overall, coming into this drama with zero expectations and an open-mind, it was cute, quirky and I appreciate the fact that the FL wasn't a helpless, fragile, pretty face.

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.

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.

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.
