Cinderella at 2 AM

Korean Drama '' Cinderella at 2 AM '' tries to reverse the trope of the evil mother in law who gives money to the girl in order to prevent an upcoming marriage. However, the drama fails to utilize it. Instead, it ends up being a classic melodrama.

The drama starts off nicely and it does a good job blending a fun and light love story with a cute male lead with darker themes, like domestic abuse. Also, the second couple was adorable as well and they kept things fresh when the main love story got stale.

In addition, there were some episodes that had too many fillers and it was obvious that the drama needed to be shorter. Yet, it was enjoyable.

Finally, every actor and actress in the cast did a good job with their performance.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Shin Hyun-been plays Ha Yoon-seo a hard working brand marketing manager with a difficult upbringing who was forced to protect and bring up her brother due to her neglectful parents. She has been dating a team member Seo Joo-won ( Moon Sang-min) unaware that he is the Chaebol son of the company she works for. When she finds out it leads to the Chairwoman offering her money to break of the relationship. Because she cannot see a future with their different upbringings she accepts the money and breaks it off and tries to distance herself from him. It is an easy going story based on a webtoon and has an interesting second couple played by Yoon Park and the excellent Park So-jin. Even though the behaviour of the characters can be a little frustrating at times it is done to amplify the different personalities and at only ten episodes it is an enjoyable short watch.

This whole series was like a hot cup of cocoa on a winter day to me! Sometimes all you need is a typical romcom! Its worth watching 1 time! I have been a huge fan of moon sang min ever since his role in "under the queens umbrella" as prince seongnam. His chemistry with the female lead was amazing! They made my sundays even more exciting. The cute couple raised my standards. I enjoyed watching this one. I ALSO LOVEDDDD THE CHEMI BETWEEN THE SECOND LEADS! Very unexpected but i found myself anticipating more screen time for the second leads! Its nice , simple and has got only 10 episodes. If you ask me, its worth the binge. Thank you for taking time to read this. Hope you have a good day.

I really enjoyed this K drama. I watched it because of moon sang min if you don't know who he is, he is the main lead in this drama and also another drama called wedding impossible and under the queens umbrella. By the way i really enjoyed this K drama. If you like slow growing romance i think it is really good. I will say it is a must watch it was soo romantic. I must say this their acting was phenomenal especially the main lead Moon sang min and Shin Hyun-bin i think this K drama and the actors need more recognition. The direction, script, actors, production was all good but unfortunately some K drama doesn't deserve the recognition they need. I would say a MUST WATCH. Their acting felt soo real. You can also watch it within a day it only has 10 episodes. My opinion may differ from your but i think almost everyone would enjoy it.

I've seen many k-dramas and honestly I watch them for the romance and not for the serial killer side plot, or the intricate dealings of business and office politics.

We finally got an amazing rom-com that is all about the romance! This wouldn't work if the leads weren't so incredible, but they both blew me away and gave me all the feels as the story unfolded. This wasn't meant as some break-through new story, it's a Cinderella story as the title says. I'm not sure I've met a Cinderella retelling that I haven't liked, and this one had a fresh take that was so enjoyable to see.

This is the perfect drama to watch if you want something relatively light but with all the classic k-drama tropes and a great cast. At 10 episodes it's the perfect amount for a great weekend binge.
