A refreshing Cinderella plot

8 eps in and still hooked. Lee junho excels as a dignified and conflicted Crown Prince and insanely underrated Lee Se Young portrays the determination and care perfectly. Although there are damsel in distress scenes, it's realistic... There are just struggles she cannot overcome by herself. Although a lowly maid, she also saves the Prince multiple times. The core plot is cinderella but the telling and acting is refreshing. A great balance of comedy, gravity with some foreshadowing of very difficult times coming (I think)
