Nostalgic, but not my cup of tea.
Cinderella and the Four Knights is cliche as you'll get to be honest, given the name and all. I didn't hate it, but it wouldn't be on my top 10. I liked all the cutesy scenes in it, and when I first watched it the love triangles messed with me a lot! Poor girl, a bunch or rich guys the monets to come with. The chick you'll hate and the second lead you'll love almost more than the main lead himself. This drama did start off pretty well, but went downhill from around episode 7-8ish. Very predictable.The actors were nicely chosen for this type of drama, but even tghough they tried hard to give the character justice, it didn't really work out. Not saying the characters were completely terrible, they just weren't as good as they could've been.
The OST's were nice.
I wouldn't rewatch this drama because It would be a waste of my time. If you're looking for something light to watch in the background, this could do.

Bad story line, bad acting
I am profoundly disappointed, the leading actors / actresses have talents but they performed so poorly in this "Cinderella and the Four Knights" K-Drama series. I only tolerate "Cinderella and the Four Knights" when High Schooler Eun Ha Won and Cousin Kang Ji Woon / Han Ji Woon characters are smiling, their smiles brighten the screen. However, there are no on-screen chemistry at all for all characters in this poorly written story. Cousin Kang Hyun Min character is the heir of Chairman Kang, but he does not even work and only lounges in the Sky House and dating / dumping girls. What a complete loser. I love the younger cousin Kang Seo Woo that is productive as a singer and composes songs. I am so disheartened when cousin Kang Ji Woon stops working as a mechanic and looks so idle for the rest of the series. Hoping to see these promising actors/actress with strong talent to be in well written K-dramas series next time.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
YES , it IS Cliché, and it doesn't hide it!
This is base don my expectations of this type pf dramas and issues withot.So when I go for a poor girl/rich guy, I alredy accept that the plot is gonna be quite ridiculous ,in favor of the good things that could come of it (for me, mainly comedy , and eventually good romantic chemestry).So when a drama of this trope seems to want to remind me of the ridiculness of its premiss and treat me as stupid because I accepted it , through though and "rationnal figures" ( The evil rich family), to me , the whole point of the show has been missed, which makes it a pure waste of time. Also the dynamic happy-lucky-go girl/rational-strict guy is one that trully gets on my nerves.
So, when I start this drama, what really pleased me is, although the roles of all the characters is cliché and falls in line with what i described from a writing perspective, the execution and portrayalof the characters is completely embracing the ridiculness, which makes it a real fun drama.Everyone , including "the evil" grandpa could be made fun of and is here to make us laugh.
Everyone is ridiculously funny to the same level, and you can just relax and enjoy without this vibe getting trampled upon.
Now wether it's gonna be cringe or not has to do with your own cringemeter and treshold on that matter.
Yes the story is passable at best , but this not the area I expected to be good at anyway.I did what I wanted it to do, and if you're jot looking just for fun and cuteness , this is not going to be for you.

Great starter show for those who are new to K-RomCom
One of my favorite actors stars in this. Jung Il Woo, who is also in Sweet Munchies, is who really started me on Korean tv and movies. Since than I've watched everything I could with him in it. Tho the story is a familiar one the twist gives it a new dimension. I think this is an excellent starter for newbies or even for those familiar with Korean tv shows because of the base story being easily followed because who doesn't know the story of cinderella. I also love how the female lead isn't too girly, she can handle her own.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
HOT MESS
This show is a hot mess! Really.FOR PEOPLE WHO: want to watch couples with lots of issues, misunderstandings, senseless fights, who like to make things hard for themselves.
It's for people who want to hate watch shows. Really the only reason I finished the series is because I love shouting in frustration at the characters and what a hot mess they were. Especially Naeun's character. Omg so annoying.
NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO: want to watch a decent poor girl, rich boy story. Not for people who want a convincing reverse harem/love triangle/love rectangle relationship. Sure the female lead was nice but.. really?
OVERALL:
I loved hate watching it though but really I won't watch it again. The only reason I'd recommend it to someone else is so that they'll hate watch it too and we can hate comment on it together. Spread the despair. And also, I like the actors but not in this show. I also liked BTOB's song. Anynway, in short, if you want to become even more frustrated, or want to vent your frustration, then watch this and shout at your screen.

Was it worth it: Absolutely.
What I liked the most: “The kisses,” she said unapologetically.
What I disliked the most: The music during the “tense” moments got cheesy. I rolled my eyes a few times.
Moment Meter: 6/10 – Lots of moments. The quality of the moments, however, ranges from straight cheese to heart attack.
Other thoughts: I’m a Jung Il Woo fan, because even though he isn’t drop dead gorgeous, he has some flattering angles and a knack for intense acting. Combine that with the fact that he had the tsundere character (like usual), and this was a hit for me. (He’s also a phenomenal on-screen kisser)
Note: Certain actors will automatically make the drama better (for me), so the rest of the review will be biased. Consider yourself warned.
It watched a lot like a reverse-harem anime, which I enjoy from time to time. Park So Dam nailed this role, and has good control over the tones in her voice. I’m not too crazy about Ahn Jae Hyun’s acting. He didn’t do poorly, but I didn’t get as much feeling from him as I did the others, and one of them is a musician before they’re an actor. I liked the story and it moved along well without stagnating too often.
Conclusion: Actor bias boosted this one up for me, so I would have enjoyed it even if it were complete garbage. Was it unpredictable and fresh? Not entirely, but it hit all of those juicy KDrama notes that keep me coming back for more.

But, I was wrong!
Strong cast, great chemistry between all characters, excellent story line which brought out the theme of the drama and none of the episodes felt too long - kept me going from one to the next! There was such a strong chemistry between the leads, and it didn't feel forced at any point and the story didn't fall apart or seem incredulous either.
For once, I thought the OST was good too (though I don't understand Korean) but the music brought out the feelings. The characters were quite true to life without a lot of the melodrama that sometimes goes with dramatizing the difference between rich boys and poor girls thrown into their lot. A clean and sweet drama, full of touching scenes where you just want to go back, re-watch and live the feeling all over again. I don't usually re-watch dramas, but this is going to be one of the ones I will watch again!

After watching: UPDATE----- LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! SO GOOD AND OST WAS AHHHHMAZZZZZING!
Honestly, I was pretty hesitant to start watching this show because it looked really cliched, but it was actually really really REALLY good! I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did and I'm so glad I ended up watching it. It still stands as one of the best drama OST's EVER (for me personally), with each song sucking you in, feeling how the main characters are feeling.
The plot is pretty straight forward being a Cinderella story, but you shouldn't pick up this show thinking it will be unique, because, really, it's not. It's the same ol' story told in a fun, sweet, happily-ever-after, modern style way. The ending has all the loose ends wrapped up nicely and leaving you feeling super happy. I still watch the music videos on Youtube just to see the hilarity of the character dynamics and how the story inevitably unfolds.
I am not a fan of Cinderella stories traditionally, but this show is something I would gladly rewatch, force others to watch with me, and sing along the whole way through!

Park So Dam as Eun Ha Won saves this drama. She is so adorable, strong and determined. She isn't stupid from the beginning and doesn't get on the nerves like other characters similar to her. I mean I still avoid the girl that played the female lead in BOF. The other actors are good to considering what they have to work with.
I loved the music.
I may rewatch this some day for fun, but I highly doubt it.
If you like reverse harem dramas, then this is one of the best I have seen.

i have rewatched this three times
literally the epitome of kdrama, the poor girl bad family rich cold guy, cohabition, um age gap is a bit weird to me but like this is an old drama so i’m not being too critical on that, cliche tropes left and right, cringey scenes and lines, absolute banger OST, watch if you like cliche dramas with a good looking cast. so cringe but i loved it because of that i had my ex boyfriend (boyfriend at the time) and younger sister watch it with me and they both actually really liked it (just get past episode like 2 or 3 and it gets a lot better).Esta resenha foi útil para você?
PRAISES. STOP HATING.
So the first episode wasn't that captivating but as it progresses it really gets better. The main couple was perfect, and yes, they are all knights BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY TREAT HER NOT BECAUSE THEY WOULD END UP PURSUING HER. anyways, sometimes it was a little too dramatic but hey! Is a drama. I can't wait to repeat this series again, it was funny, dramatic, and full of great ACTING. I was surprised by the main cast, they were all really good. The music too it fit well to the series. I see some people hating on the main character, which I forgot her real name but she was so charming and her couple too. 10/10Esta resenha foi útil para você?
