The opening of the story plays an important role in laying the ground for the audience. And having a good romantic comedy in the current time is quite difficult.
First I would like to say about the uncanny similarity it holds with Cinderella and 4 Knights. Our Cinderella has been living with his father who met his stepmother in the park and the ill-fated journey started. The director paid careful attention to the tiniest details. The dining table scene at the beginning is an opening to the cold relationship the five people share. Cinderella's father gifted her a job to score a rich husband on her win. And the premise of the story begins.
Angel messengers are recruited in Cheongdam-dong where Prince Charming lives.
A frustrated Cinderella and a lazy prince charming...
Follow Your Joy is a hub run by an eighth-generation chaebol that gives a chance for young ladies to get married into rich families. And here our Freaking Cinderella decides to take a change in her luck.
The base of the plot is sentimental, culturing to the biggest dream of a woman- walking through the aisle with arms laced in her father's and meeting Prince Charming at the opposite end. But in the modern scenario, does love prevail at odd hours? This beautiful scenery is more now a bumpy ride and people are mostly doubting their feelings over necessities and requirements.
Moom Cha Min considers women as stones and Jae Rim wants to become rich.
The narrative is going in a ridiculous way as forceful after the encounter planted after twenty minutes of the beginning. Lee Jun Young as Cha Min is reacting and Pyo Ye Jin as Jae Rim lacks much-needed naiveness in her character. Characters failed to exhibit the viciousness that we witnessed in the mother and step-sister of Cinderella and Four Knights. They lack cruelty and tenacity and are more casual and timid in throwing tantrums. Ye Jin is not empathetic enough to be strong on her own feet. She is more delusional and is looking for shortcuts now and then. Cha Min is way casual in the skin of the chaebol. With along strong predecessors before him, he shows no strength and no base.
In order to survive, the story needs an unprecedented twist in its upcoming episode.
