    I wanted to write a review for this since it's one of my all time favorite dramas. I think it kinda divides opinions and it really depends on the watcher if you like it or not.

    The plot... I too, as many others, love the first half of the story more up to like episode 11? but the later half isn't bad either. It just has less happening. Some people say it dragged on and maybe it did, but i didn't really pay attention since i was so in love with everything else in it.

    The plot had wonderful details that really showed different sides of the characters. Like Eun Jo; She is basically the evil stepsister and if this story was from another point of

    I have mixed feelings about Cinderella’s Sister . Everything was super good until they decided to go 7 years further. I learned later that, at that times, they changed the screenwriter. Good damn it.

    The reason why I started this drama was because I was curious about Moon Geun Young being casted as a “vilain”. Her face is way too sweet to be mean. I have to say: she rocked it ! Why ? Because, Ok she’s a bitch, but a bitch with a reason for being so bitchy. You feel empathy for her and her crying scene was really touching. I even cried once. And that’s pretty rare. That’s how good Moon Geun Young acting skills are. You go girl !

    I also like the

  • They have some common points (i.e. love triangles or one character come from a poor family) and their genre is the same ("Will it Snow at Christmas?" is especially melodramatic)
    reportRecommended by Nocturna
  • Both dramas have their own version of the Cinderella story. In Shining Inheritance the story sympathizes with "Cinderella" where as in Cinderella's sister the story sympathizes with Cinderella's stepsister.

    It actually started out great but after "8 yrs later" it was just sad.. too much crying and stuff... They don't even sleep anymore. They spend the whole night/dawn crying. Also, there were barely any cute romance scenes between the two main actors.

    Too much crying, hysterical yelling and over self importance. This show has very poor plot and too many needy characters.

      That is so true! except for the 'poor plot part' I think.
      I didn't really mind the '8-years-later-thingie' as much as most others here. However, I did think she should have ended up with the other guy. But that's just personal preference I guess :)

    I've started this because of MYG, as she is a fine actress. But had to drop it after the first few episodes. As much as i want to finish it (just alone to see evil MYG and her acting), Seo Woo just ruined for me with her annoying and poor acting. If SW had a smaller role, than I could bear her for a few scenes... Never before had an actress left such a negative impression on me, and that's not only because of her plastic face.-_- (sry, if I offended her fans or those who loved this show, but that's just my opinion)

    Great acting, but the story is too slow and they are crying all the time,it just makes me wanna pull my hair out. and although Hyosun is very pretty but seems like someone who can't think for herself, anyway her character is very unrealistic. But I like the ending song 'It has to be you' by Yesung, he has a very comforting voice.

    I think I really enjoyed this drama because only those who have had step parents or step brothers or sister could understand the emotions very and this drama just totally wow'ed me. I liked it there's a whole lot of crazy twist to this fairy tale for sure lol ... and i do agree there is a whole lot of crying and they could have went with less but i liked the story line and the actors so ya awesome !! lol ;D

    I'm only on episode 12 but...I think this drama would be much better if they focused on an actual story more. It seems like 80% of each episode is just me sitting there watching them crying. I think there is more crying in one episode of this than in 3 of some of the saddest dramas I've seen. More story, less crying. Please.

    I thought it was pretty good, as it's melodrama and I'm not too fussed with what the others were complaining about; and then I especially loved the OST!

    The only thing I remember about this drama is how everyone was always crying. You could play a drinking game and be completely hammered by the end of each episode if you took a shot every time someone cried. smh This drama started out well enough but never really got anywhere meaningful or interesting. And I was kind of pissed at how under-utilized Taecyeon was. That boy is WAY TOO FINE to be under-utilized... or clothed. :)
