This drama was my crack drama all the way through episode 14 when, for reasons I'm not even sure of anymore (maybe I was abducted by aliens and they messed with my brain? probably just because some of the side plots were draggy and frustrating though), I lost all interest and never finished the last two episodes. I finally went back and watched them this evening, and I can't lie. The obsession I had with this drama when it was airing has significantly cooled. I don't know if that's the drama's fault, time's fault, or my fault, but it is what it is.

This is definitely, however, a crack drama with some mild makjang thrown in for good measure, and if you like crack dramas/light makjang, you will like Cinderella and the Four Knights. I don't know that the story holds up to intense scrutiny, and like I said, some of the side plots are draggy and frustrating, but...we're all drama druggie's here. And we'll put up with a lot to get our fix, am I right?

first of all i watched this drama mainly for Gong yoo & Gong hyo cause they are my favorite actors
& i'm fond of noona romance
gong yoo was amazing in this drama i fall for him really
the story is nice & mainly talking about the students problems
but that doesn't mean it didn't has many weak points
.
i think this is SPOILER
.
first of them the character of kim da is very weak & provoking so much he couldn't even fight for his love or solve the problems or made her feel secure with him he lets gong hyo been humiliated without moving a toe
he wants every thing prepared for him without fighting & i think he didn't love her truly or else he was going to move mountains for her
true love appears in a very small actions like what gong yoo did for her
& if he was capable to solve the problems that easy y didn't he made that step sooner
at the beginning of the drama i wished they continue together & after every ep i hated him more
he didn't even has enough courage to tell her from the beginning he loved her but he took gong yoo as an excuse to bring her closer even when he knew she loved him he didn't make the right actions towards the problems
and he is really selfish he didn't even bothered himself asking her if the plan he made suits her or not he didn't also care about her dream he assumed that his dream will be hers automatically
the main weak point for me was his character

second : how could oh yoon possessed the school while she was only the manager
that doesn't make any sense for me or may be i missed something

third : since when selfish & hurting was counting as true love
i hated the character of choi yeo & oh yoon so .. both were B*****

fourth : i felt that gong hyo suddenly fall for gong yoo the writer made her fall for him too late at ep. 14

fifth: the events of the drama doesn't make sense to me i don't know y but i didn't feel comfort & the end was weird although it's happy but doesn't explain much it was concise for me comparing to much detailed ep.
may be the sub was bad that's y i didn't get much

in total i loved the story but hated that weak points in it

Another drama where you want to cry over the injustice the female lead has to face and love to hate the conniving antagonist. One minute you swoon over the sweetness between the lead OTPs while the next you want to slap the foster-sister for all her tricks and lies. Talk about lying to cover up more lies. The sister had perfected this technique.
The Drama mainly focuses on the journey of the female lead finding out her true roots and reconciling with her family with the male lead supporting her along the way. We come to see the relationship between three generations of a family.... starting from the grandmother, her two daughter-in-laws, and her real and adopted granddaughters as they fight for the role of the head of the embroidery business. Old and new secrets come to light as the power struggle comes to a head.
Watching the OTP in the drama was really satisfying. It was nice to see the male lead coming to understand the goodness of the female lead and falling in love more than ever. Their romance evolved beautifully along the duration of the drama.

First of all, I would like to say thank you for making this Korean Drama.

Let me say the good things first:
1. I love their acting on the sad scenes, I mean, they made me moved and cry.
2. The music is PERFECT because it really fits in specific scenes. The background music adds that tension, depressed and happy feelings. If the scenes made me cry, the added background music made me cry more.
3. I think the plot is good :) The bromance is good too.

Now the not-so-good things:
1. There are some parts that I don't feel the romantic connection between the Goblin and the High School Girl. I don't know why, but I just don't feel it (I even love the connection between the Grim Reaper and the Chicken Restaurant Owner than the 2 leads), but during the middle till the end (especially when the lead girl character is 29 y/o), I am feeling their connection and I liked it.
2. I don't like the thing where they add something (like a recap) on some episodes that makes it damn long, I even have to skip it, sorry but I'm an impatient person.
3. I love the sad scenes more than some scenes, because in some scenes, I got bored a little bit (I used my phone during the boring scenes, which means that I really got bored). I was not interested (a bit) on the flashbacks (idk why, sorry D: )

My rewatch value is 7 because I could watch it again, but I'm that type of person who doesn't want to watch depressing scenes again because I don't want to cry a lot.

Overall, I think the drama is great! I cannot count how many times I cried in just this drama.. Probably 30 or 40 LOL. Because most of the scenes really made me cry.

This show is- wow. Just wow. I've literally just finished watching and it is by far one of the best dramas I've seen so far (and I've seen a lot of those). Definitely in my top 5.

Originally, I did not expect much but I was oh so pleasantly surprised. With the series only being only 6.5 hours in total, I expected things to be rushed but it really wasn't. The drama had a very good flow and nothing felt like it was done half heartedly.

As for the acting itself, it's like you can feel what they are going through and the main cast had very moving performances. This drama is full of suspense and it made my heart race in certain parts.

Something that did amuse me though was how many times the two main characters stared at their hands angstily. Seriously, if you took a shot every time they did it, you'd be smashed by the end. It was over the top and I LOVED it. :D

Would I recommend this drama to you? Hell yes.

*Sorry if my review sucked it's my first time writing one and I'm so emotional right now, the drama was so good*

I've heard quite a lot regarding this drama before started watching it, and it did not disappoint. It was mouth-watering, fun and enjoyable to watch. Doo-Joon acting is fantastic and I found myself falling in love with his character a little bit more with each passing episode. Let's just say it wouldn't be "Let's eat without him!
The story line was great, not too many flaws there, it revolves around food, friendships, feeling alone, finding happiness and comfort in the small things that eventually helps you overcome the hardships that life throws. The only thing that I could have lived without being the mystery part of the show, it was a little bit too predictable and bland, other than that it was one good drama!
The cast is great, I said it once and I will say it again, Do-Joon acting is G-R-E-A-T and the role of Koo Dae-Young seems like it was written for him, could not imagine a better person to play this character, he was fun, loving, smart and handsome. The female lead played by Seo Hyun-Jin is a wonderful addition to the cast, I've known her from "Another Miss Oh" and her personality shines through this drama as well, I do have to say that sometimes her actions and decisions did get on my nerves. All the other cast members just seem to fit perfectly in the storyline, but my personal favorite was Im Taek-Soo,( played by Kim Hee-Won),the lonely, loving, drunken friend of Dae-Toung.

Overall, if you are looking for a romantic, cute, funny, mouthwatering drama, with the real struggles of adulthood, this the one for you, if you're not looking for something so specific, watch it anyway, because I do think is worth it.

Warning!!!
Be prepared to feel hungry all the time!

I was bored so I just decided to watch this but I dropped it on the 4th episode. There was actually nothing special about it if I'd say. It was boring. Or maybe because I just watched 'doctor stranger' which was sooooooo good. That made me feel this one wasn't as good.

Another thing is that, gu hye sung isn't a good actress. I watched her in BOF and idk if she was alright or I was blinded by handsome boys but I didn't feel anything. This time, I realised how bad she was. Her reactions are WAY too EXAGGERATED. Like even I can act better than her. Her actions are just so awkward.

Anh Jae hyun was alright I reckon. He was pretty good. But I couldn't watch it anymore because there wasn't really anything special. It boring and there were lots of bad reviews so I decided NAHHH.

(Btw....I didn't really concentrate on the music or maybe There wasn't much so I just rated it in between)

What is love anyway?

Seriously what is this?The definition and application of love is distorted in this drama. -.-

So without any spoilers, let me tell you what is actually the matter with this drama..

- A bunch of guys who keeps on making bad decisions after bad decisions and continuing their mistakes
- A suffering poor girl
-Teardrops everywhere...

Do not get me wrong.even though I really don't like it, I know how to appreciate a tragedy.The problem with this one is the male lead's actions are way too meaningless.The whole thing sometimes screamed like "sorry,but the screenwriters want it this way!" No logic, just a forced character who enjoys torturing himself.
Yes, the story may be well thought in the beginning but then later on I questioned what's the point of it or is there a point after all.
