Cinderella and Four Knights « The Magical Effect of a Woman »
Cinderella and the Four Knights was such a fun and easy watch. On the surface, it’s more of a fluff piece where we just get to enjoy watching the poor Cinderella girl get to live in a fancy house and draw the affections of multiple handsome guys. And all of that was definitely fun!But it’s also a story of people finding happiness by coming to terms with who they are and reconciling past hurts in order to finally become a family. One girl is tasked with helping this fractured family come together. And while she helps them, she also goes on her own journey.
Park So Dam was fantastic as our leading lady Eun Ha Won. She is the absolute perfect mixture of sweet, cheerful, and strong. She takes no grief from any of the guys and can completely hold her own in any situation.
And Park So Dam is absolutely beautiful and adorable in this role. Her smile just completely lights up every scene, and I always can’t help but smile right along with her.
I also give a lot of credit to Park So Dam for having this effortless chemistry with all of the guys. She just comes off so natural and comfortable with each guy that it really helped bring out the best in each of them.
Jung Il Woo was very solid in the role of Kang Ji Woon. This role is very different from other roles I have seen him in. His characters are frequently loud, unique, and overly confident. Whereas Ji Woon is really a very normal character.
He’s that quiet, tortured, rebel who really needs some happiness in life. It took a while for him to really begin opening up, but it was great to see. I really enjoyed Jung Il Woo in this, and it’s definitely my favorite character of his.
We have Ahn Jae Hyun in the second lead role of Kang Hyun Min. He’s the cocky playboy of the group, and he’s the one who gets Ha Won involved with his family. I always find Ahn Jae Hyun a bit stiff and awkward, but I think his interactions with Park So Dam helped make him pleasant enough to watch since he got to spend a lot of time with her in the beginning.
Lee Jung Shin plays Kang Seo Woo. He’s the sweet and fun one of the group. As a popular singer, he keeps busy. It doesn’t take long for him to fall for Ha Won, and the two of them certainly had a cute dynamic.
Lee Yoon Sung (Choi Min Sung) is our resident bodyguard. He has a hard time letting loose and having fun, but Ha Won is even able to bring out that side of him a time or two. He is very loyal to the Kang family, and does his best to look after them.
Son Na Eun plays the other woman in our main love square, Park Hye Ji. Ji Woon has had feelings for her for a long while, but she only has eyes for Hyun Min who doesn’t seem to look at her as more than a friend. She added an interesting dynamic to the group for sure.
Ji Woon and Ha Won ended up being a completely adorable couple! There was just so much cute! I thought Jung Il Woo and Park So Dam had this wonderful and easy going chemistry between them, and I just couldn’t get enough of it.
I also really loved the progression of Ji Woon and Ha Won’s relationship. It had this very natural flow to it that took its time from moving from bickering to friendship and finally to romantic love.
Watching Ji Woon open up to Ha Won and start to feel some happiness in his life was such a joy to see. And these two had some fantastic couple moments! The big confession of feelings by Ji Woon is one of my favorites I have seen in a drama. It was such a sweeping romantic moment that gave me so many feels. I really loved this couple!
I really enjoyed that the drama had an actual love square. I loved the dynamics between the two couples as they all had to work out their feelings for each other. It made for a complex and interesting romantic entanglement.
Cinderella and the Four Knights also has a wonderful soundtrack that was utilized very well. I immensely enjoyed all of the songs and was so glad that they played them all frequently. It really helped set up a fun, romantic, and heartwarming atmosphere.
Cinderella and the Four Knights is just a good solid drama. It was tons of fun with a lot of heart. Park So Dam was the absolute perfect female lead, and Jung Il Woo really gave a wonderful performance as we slowly watched his character grow. And with one of the cutest couples around Dramaland, I was never short on smiles. All in all, Cinderella and the Four Knights was a joy and has left me with a lot of good memories.

A Fun Romance to Watch
So this is the first KDrama and Asian drama I ever watched and it started me on all the others I have since watched over the last few months.I liked it. I thought it was paced just right and liked most of the characters. Ha Won is the heroine working hard to get enough money to pay for college and trying to be a good person. Going to live with 3 rich , spoiled heirs seemed like the easy way to make the money she so desperately needs. First is the arrogant Hyun Min who has always been the favored hei; then there is the youngest heir, Seo Woo who is also a music star; next is outcast heir, Ji Woon (my favorite - girls love a bad boy!).
This is another one of those stories where you know 2 people are going to fall in love but there will be obstacles to keep them apart and them fighting to stay apart all the while pining for each other. But who cares? I watch because I love romance and the fantasy of it all.
I loved Secretary Lee and he was so damn cute . The cast is really good looking but that's also part of the fantasy.
I loved the soundtrack. It's really good. I would rewatch for certain scenes like the first time Hyun Min sees Ha Won, the wedding scene and the time they all went on vacation. I also really loved most scenes with Ha Won and Ji Woon.

my first kdrama
(im making this review long after ive watched this kdrama so i have forgotten most of what happened and am solely writing this from memory)this was my first kdrama and i wont judge it too hard, it was a typical romcom, cinderella story. tbh i went into the show blindly w/o knowing anything except from the title, as expected it was a cliché love story w a love triangle w a bit of cinderella's story in it.
for my first kdrama it was a fun watch no idea if i'm gonna rewatch this tho, knowing she doesnt end up w the one i wanted her to end up with.

Started string but lost traction and ended blah
As usual… story started strong. FL kicked ass and made no apology…. I loved her integrity, honesty and attitude…She had a life plan and was working towards it..
Then she met the 4 knights… and it was fun in ghe beginning, with the crazy assignments she had to do….
However, at a certain point, there were no assignments and the story moved to other areas where, kind of lost traction.
The 4 knights were stereotypes… but overall ok.
Now, the SFL… that was annoying as hell… supposed to be rich and beautiful, she spent the whole story begging SML to like her… up to a point it was embarrassing…. Too much… and then out of the blue, she decides to move on … because yes, there is a limit to humiliation…. And magically the SML realised he loved her all this time and starts to be nice.
Of course she falls for him in 2 seconds, all forgiven,… this was super unrealistic, annoying and painful to see.
It is entertaining… okish
Do I recommend it? …. Not really…
Would I see it again? Nope

This drama is really adorable, funny, and romantic at the same time. Though in the first few episodes I get a little bit annoyed(?) 'cause they keep grabbing and pinning Eun Ha-Won in the wall, pretty cringy if you will ask me. All the OSTs of this drama are bop though.
I'll give it a 9.5/10. I really did enjoy this drama, recommendable, it's just some parts are a little bit too much (if that makes sense lol).

I enjoyed this and have now watched 2 times
*****Park So-dam- Amazing actress and she made me want to protect her and knock out those who kept hurting her. Though she could fight and showed a great spirit of personality and fortitude, I know there was so much more you could have done and created with her. She has beauty and talent, yet you left her lacking. It seemed as if the show was rushed, just to get it going.
****Jung Il-woo-I could not see Park So-dam being with him, why you ask if she is strong and resilient why would she even want someone who is very rude to her at the beginning? With in 3 months they did not have enough time to really get to know each other and she was so much closer to Lee Jung-shin who was very close and wonderful from the get go with her. There was something lacking and rushed, though they both come from the same life style.
****Ahn Jae-hyun- So much more could have been done with his character, I thought he would have been more into men than into woman. The way you presented him being into fashion and it seemed forced with female relationships to hide what looked to be in the closet. Though is very handsome and you can see he has a kind heart after one gets to know him.
****Lee Jung-shin- Really wanted to see more of him, also could have stretch this out by giving him more of a chance to be a true love interest with Park So-dam, he really would have been the best option on causing a huge jealousy
****Son Na-eun - She is a wonderful actress and I wish you would have written her into the story more, there is so much more you could have done with her, I felt there should have been a deeper relationship with both actresses, where they could have conspired to get Ahn Jae-hyun and her together.
Now will I watch the show again, yes again the actress is one of my all time favorites, when she laughs or smiles I want to, when she cries I wanted to hug her and reassure her all was going to be ok. When people were mean to her, I wanted to fight for her. She draws you in and has a certain aspect about her that makes her very personable and relatable .
Negatives-more Karma to her so called family for what they did to her? More Karma to the Grandfather and more drama needed. The Secretary was very hot and how none of the girls were attracted to him, bewildering cause damn he should have had a love interested at least. VERY HOT HOT HOT.
Grandfather would like to see more of though I did not like him in this one...

Yes, most of the reviews of bad, the plot isn't that well developed. But you guys should watch it for the OST, the only thing that kept me going was the amazing OST! The OST made scenes 10x better than they are. Jessi, Bomi and BTOB beautiful voices really moves your heart. <3
The plot isn't that bad. It's not too cliche. The female lead is dominant and isn't overly naive. There is 1 second male lead that likes her, not 3, the title gave me false expectations. I was expecting all 4 'knights' to fall for her throughout the drama, but no.
Acting is great. I thought Na Eun did a great job for her first drama!
Music 100/10

This is such a beautiful drama. At some points it felt like a comedy and at some like a romance. But this drama is different because it not just teaches us concepts like true love or sacrifice but also tells us never to give up and have faith. Eun Ha Won's character was so pretty, a tomboy kinda girl with a heart of gold. I really found myself in her because I'm kinda like her too lol. Seo Woo is my favourite character because he's the only person who hasn't made me angry even once throughout the drama. This has again a beautiful ending, a typical "and they lived happily ever after" kinda. In the beginning I strongly shipped Hyeon Min and Ha Won because they were kinda made for each other and tbh I was very upset when I found out that both of them had feelings for someone else, but gradually I was happy with the new ships and at the end of the drama I was very satisfied. Secretary Lee is again a marvellous character who has never disappointed us (though he conspired against the chairman but we know that in the end it was all for the sake of Haneul Group). I'm just a bit sorry for Seo Woo because he's the only one who was left out without a girl and got his heart broken but even he was happy so yes it's a fabulous ending that I enjoyed. Do watch this, I'm sure you will love it too Considerați utilă această recenzie?

LIKEI heart for Hyun Min and Ha Won as she could control him - felt like they were meant for each other

The entire funny situation on the Kang's family - rich chaebols are just weird
DISLIKE
Kang Ji Woon's character
MUSIC - personal fav
Confession - SinB (ft. Si Jin)
I Believe - Younha
The Way To Find Love - CNU
REWATCH VALUE
It's on my re-watch list the top tier

watching a 2016 drama in 2021?
The drama was pretty good and it was really sweet. I enjoyed watching it but I have some things I have to say about it.Pros:
- The storyline is good.
I will have to say that it's pretty basic, but it still feels like a breath of fresh air. You could say it's like watching a classic, that kinda vibe.
- The music is a bop
The music was really good and it matched the drama well. It was catchy and whenever it played I would always sing along because that's how much I liked it.
- The casting was good
The casting just felt right, ye know? There isn't anyone where I thought another actor/actress would be more suitable.
- It's easy to develop a favourite character
This is an important point for me, because I live for my favourite characters. All of the characters are unique and different, so it's easy to really like them. As for me, I really like Kang Seo Woo and Kang Hyun Min. Agh, they're so precious.
- It doesn't get boring.
I didn't think any of the episodes were boring at all. I recently dropped a drama, and this show helped me get back into bingeing kdramas.
Cons:
- It is an older drama.
Honestly, this is the only "old style" drama I finished. The quality isn't like the newer ones and it bothered me a little. Although it's from the same year as Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, the quality is so much worse lmao. There's also a ton of flashbacks/the same flashbacks, since that was the style back in the day. In general, it was just more dramatic than the newer dramas.
- I didn't really like the main character.
Eun Ha Won is just so different from me. Idk she didn't irritate me and the actress played the role well, I just didn't like the character. Obviously her being the main character, she held most of the story line.
- The "Fourth Knight".
I assume Lee Yoon Sung was the fourth knight, but it was really unclear and I was confused for like the first half of the drama. Idk maybe I'm just dumb. I also didn't think that his character was all that important and that he didn't have to be a main character.
- My favs didn't have much screen time.
Hyun Min had a lot of screen time at the beginning of the drama, but as the show continued, he got less and less and it made me sad T_T. As for Seo Woo, he literally didn't get any major storyline and he is barely in each episode. His role is more of a support role if anything.
In general, I wouldn't recommend you to watch this drama, but if you've watched all the popular ones these days and you're bored, go ahead and watch it.
