She Dreams of Cinderella (2024)

Good Enough

Korean Drama '' Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale '' is a romantic comedy with an emphasis on the comedy.

The drama feels and looks like one of those older Korean rom coms, with the over the top scenes and the over the top acting. And yet, it worked, as it was nostalgic and fun to boot.

The story was entertaining as well. Yes, it was predictable and the love triangle was boring, but the love story was well paced and there were a lot of funny and sweet moments between the couple.

In addition, the settings and the costumes were all pretty.

Finally, the performances were all enjoyable.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Minha primeira impressão de Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale foi de um drama de baixo orçamento. Não sei se foi pelo efeitos especiais duvidosos ou pela breguice. Aquele cenário do clube social "Follow your joy" e os figurinos dos ricos são extremamente bregas. Os ricos se vestem mesmo de forma tão ridícula assim? Além disso, a maioria dos personagens são muito caricatos. Entendo que o drama é uma sátira dos contos de fadas, mas ainda assim achei tudo muito ridículo.

Apesar disso, continuei assistindo e gostei da dinâmica entre Moon Chamin e Sin Jae Rim (inclusive achei muito legal o trocadinho com o nome dos personagens lembrando a pronúncia de "prince charming", príncipe encantando, e Cinderela). A química dos protagonistas foi boa o suficiente para que eu continuasse assistindo apesar dos defeitos e problemas do roteiro.

Por falar em problemas, o roteiro é cheio de piadas gordofóbicas e extremamente desnecessárias. Umas das minhas ressalvas ao drama é este ponto. Acho que poderia ter sido melhor sem isso. A personagem Kang Hwa Jin, uma das meia-irmã da Jae Rim, está lá basicamente para ser atacada com comentários ofensivos sobre seu peso. Desnecessário.

O final pelo menos traz uma boa mensagem sobre seguir seus sonhos e não deixá-los morrer. Outro ponto positivo é ser um drama curto de 10 episódios de 40 minutos, o que não dá espaço para muita enrolação. É bem rápido de assistir.

Uma das coisas mais engraçadas que achei foi a piada que fizeram quando a Sin Jae Rim pega um taxi de luxo e o motorista é o Choi Kyung Goo do Drama Táxi Driver. Hilário.

Enfim, recomendo apenas pela boa química do casal e pelo final que deixa uma mensagem positiva. Mas também fica a ressalva sobre as piadas gordofobicas.

É UM DRAMA BEM LEVE E LEGALZINHO DE ACOMPANHAR

Conseguiu conquistar meu coração com uma trama bem desenvolvida, personagens carismáticos e um equilíbrio perfeito entre momentos de tensão e leveza. A química entre os personagens e os toques sutis de sofrimento adicionaram camadas interessantes à história, tornando-a ainda mais envolvente. As declarações emocionantes e o final que deixou um gostinho de quero mais demonstram o cuidado na construção dos episódios. Estou feliz por ter apreciado tanto essa trama que mescla romance e comédia de forma encantadora. Com certeza, ficarei com saudades de acompanhar mais desses personagens cativantes.

Strictly for female audiences

The synopsis which introduces the male character before the female character will lead you to believe the is equal focus between the male and female character. But the title should give you an idea that this is not for everyone and is strictly for female audiences.
The premise will remind you of those M&B and BC pocket books your mother used to read on her free time. Poor female pining for a change in her circumstances and an aloof rich male trying to make his mark.
FL characters and their situation in those old novels is probably what birthed the present term "strong independent woman".
FLs goal for working is not to earn money to survive but to meet a rich male she can marry who can turn the tide of her life whether that's what it means to be a strong independent woman I'll leave it to someone else to figure out.

I'm dropping the series because I have no room despairing over someone else's miserable life - I watch dramas in order to get a respite from the realities of life not to see other people suffering more than I am.

Logo pela sinopse, eu não esperava muito, pois a história já apresentava temas meio batidos, como um CEO que se apaixona por uma funcionária e algumas referências da história da Cinderela. Assim, ainda fui influência pelas redes sociais e comecei a acompanhar esse kdrama.
Na minha opinião, foi um acerto os dois protagonistas, pois os personagens são engraçados e fáceis de gostar. Além de ser uma série leve e engraçada, o número menor de episódios fez com que a história não perdesse o ritmo. Ainda que só com 10 episódios, conseguiram entregar um final digno para os protagonistas, coisa que muita série longa não consegue.

From Conflict to Connection: A Romance with Depth

The story was fresh and captivating, standing out from others I've seen. It features a classic enemies-to-lovers trope intertwined with an office romance that brought butterflies to my stomach. The narrative also delves into various aspects of life, adding layers to the plot. While I enjoyed every episode, there were moments that felt a bit bland. Despite this, the side characters shone brightly, contributing significantly to the overall charm of the show.

While the main plot had its charming moments, there were times when it felt predictable. The chemistry between the leads was palpable, yet the pacing sometimes dragged, making it hard to stay fully engaged. However, the strong performances of the side characters added depth and humor, often stealing the scene and providing a much-needed balance to the storyline.

One thing I particularly appreciated was the way the show tackled real-life issues. It wasn’t just about romance, but also about personal growth, career challenges, and navigating complicated relationships. These elements gave the show a sense of authenticity, making the characters more relatable and their journeys more compelling.

Overall, it was an enjoyable watch with memorable moments and a solid cast. Even though some parts felt a bit slow, the charm of the characters and the underlying themes of the story made it worth sticking through to the end.

Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale!? has been -obviously- a lot of fun, despite that I don't think this is all that unique or anything, though admittedly the whole wanting to be a Cinderella openly and aboveboard concept is pretty cool. I think the biggest contributor to success is the short format. A regular kdrama mini series is 16 hours long, as we all know the kiss happens at 8 & then after some fluff complications lead to a breakup & a 2 year separation happening in episodes 13 to 15 followed by a usually rather poorly written happy ending that can be either 1 or 100 minutes long. Opposed to what I just outlined this show is about 7 hours long (40 minutes x 10eps) & almost all of that things that normal kdramas have are there (love square, breakup, gangsters, almost marrying someone else etc etc), however the quick pace makes all these very palatable & since the comedy and main romance are both very strong, I don't have it in me to give a score any less than 8.5. The ending is rather satisfying too and not that short considering the format..

Pyo Ye Jin always had been amazing, but it fills me with joy to see her shine so much in a main role, while also having wonderful chemistry with her rather amazing partner. ^ I really wish for this to be a financial success, selfishly just so I could see her in more high profile romcoms :-P

"Make your delulu become trululu"

This drama is literally the definition of your delusions and wishes becoming true.

You start this drama with the typical poor, funny and delusional female lead and the snobby, narcissitic and traumatized male lead. Despite this drama being extremely cliché, they changed it in a way that it makes the drama enjoyable, funny and with a lot of depth and story behind it. Every character is unique in their own way with their own personalities, what makes this series so captivating. I'm so surprised how they were able to fit so MUCH in only 10 episodes.

WARNING!!:
If you are a very serious person that doesn't take things lightheartedly, this drama is NOT for you! This whole k-drama is unserious, extremely satire and goofy as hell. The sad and angsty moments don't last for too long and they use a lot of cartoonish effects and sounds to make the series more entertaining. The male lead eventually has then loser tedencies and becomes obsessed with the female lead and tries to win her over. Many moments in this drama are so CRINGE, that you genuinely just want to turn off the screen, get up and scream. 😭

However despite all ofthis, this drama is AMAZING and definitely recommend it if you love rom com!
My final rating is 8/10.
