Are you sure there were four khights?

When I was looking for a drama to watch, I noticed the title of this series several times, but because of the tacky name I didn't want to watch it. One boring day, following a mysterous motive for me, i decided to watch the first episode.

When the heroine (Park So-dam as Eun Ha-won) was presented, I thought: "She must be really cool". From the begining she made me curious. She is a woman who can inspire with her will and good heart. The plot began to be more and more interesting when Kang's cousins and Eun Ha-won were brought together.

I have to admit that from the begining I have been supporting the main female character and Kang Hyun-min, from whom it all started. I liked very much the scences of the fans' hearts beating faster. I was a little disappointed when I saw that the love stories was supposed to look different. I have to admit that I missed some scenes because the threads of the grandfather and his new wife weren't interesting to me. In my view quite interesting was the plot related to Eun Ha-won's father. The viewer at one point was confused and nothing was obvious anymore.

As usual in drama, I was annoyed by the excess of buying things that are not used later. For example the scene of leaving three packages of ramen open distracted me a lot. There was too much shopping in the drama, too many moments when a man took the initiative. In this way the character of the heroine, which the drama director tried to emphasize at the beginning, was not so intriguing. I was glad that she didn't always react with great enthusiasm and above all she wanted to prove to herself and others that she was able to take care of herself.

Drama has good moments, but unfortunately, it also has a lot of broken patterns. Despite the title I don't consider het to be Cinderella, who was graciously saved by a horse on a white prince.

I realize that some fans had doubts about the title and wondered who was the fourth knight. In my opinion the secretary should not be the one, as the drama's producers intented. According to their logic, the knight should be a person who has a particular sympathy or interest in Eun Ha-won.

I thing the soundtrack is quite okay. I especially like the songs:
- "For You" (BTOB),
- "My Romeo" (Jessi),
- "I believe" (Younha),

If someone hasn't got hight expectations for drama and likes to look at decent acting, I can recommend this drama.
