What kind of scriptwriting is this? Why is the rating 7.9? This drama is basically as unrealistic as the original “Cinderella” but more agitating.

I think this is the first Cinderella story where I find the female lead annoying, and I can say that I’m quite fond of Cinderella stories. The male leads I can overlook how disgustingly selfish they are, they’re rich, many rich people in real life are unimaginably worse than them, but the female lead I can’t get over with.

i hated that the female actors didn’t know her boundaries, why the habit of touching other peoples stuff? The female lead was selfish and yet the story made it like her actions were justified. And what it it with Hye Ji’s obsession with Hyun MIn? It took such a long time for the story to explain their history, then it turns out there wasn’t even a romantic history between them. They were just childhood friends that didn’t see each other for a long time. Like, duh? What made Hye Min think it was even love, if there was even any? And the “not marrying someone that isn’t of our kind” BS is so overused but in this drama, they made it hypocritical. Why did the grandfather marry his latest wife then, when she was a nobody? Did he forget to do a background check?

I watched this drama because of the lockdown and because I was too bored to keep searching for better dramas. I finished it with much teeth gritting, head shaking and eye rolling. I also skipped the “evil” stepmother and stepsister, grandfather and his wife, and Hyun Min-Hye Ji-Ji Woon scenes, because they were either annoying and/or not that significant for me. That’s an additional tip for you if you still wanna keep watching.

***Why does Jung Il Woo look so old here? Ahn Jae Hyun was supposed to be older than him in the drama but JIW looked older than him and the secretary ahjusshi even. And why were his eyes always red?
