Ela Sonha com a Cinderela (2024)

A modern twisted fairytale with great humour.

For me this was, unexpectedly, a laugh out loud Rom Com. The absurdist humour was very good at poking fun of fairy tale romances. The setting is modern day Cinderella with the FL living with her step mom and step sisters with the twist that they are not bullying our cinders.
FL has realised, through a hint from her deceased father, that instead of trying to succeed in business she may as well nab herself a wealthy prince charming. this naive worldview is the basis for the drama. In reality it proves to be much harder to execute.
The ML is very quirky and also has a naive worldview "follow your Joy" is his catch phrase, however, as the plot unfolds we realise he has hidden emotional scars and is really hiding behind his wealthy lifestyle, including a fake fiance to keep husband hunters at bay.
Despite the light hearted frivolity and steamy kisses, real and imagined, the two leads do have good chemistry together.
I liked the twist where our FL decides to not wait to be rescued by prince charming but embraces her earlier memories of boldness and uses this to help heal the ML and win him over.

FOLLOW THE STEREOTYPES

No daba ni un duro por el drama desde que leí el argumento, la cosa no mejoró con el trailer, es más te diría que empeoró demasiados efectos de animación y la cosa no ha mejorado mucho tras verme la serie. Si tiene un 5 y no menos es por ese cameo de Taxi Driver.
Y te preguntarás: ¿por qué te ves el kdrama sino te llamaba desde un principio?, adoro los dos actores protagonistas, Lee Jun Young y Pyo Ye Jin. Jun Young le metieron en una serie malisima The Impossible Heir (no pude acabarla) despues de actuaciones maravillosas como en D.P (cariño mío, me encanta cuando te toca personajes insorportables. Aunque debo admitir que me gusta verte modo juguetón) y tenía ganas de verle en un rol completamente distinto. Ye Jin me encanta en Taxi Driver pero me estoy dando cuenta que no me gusta en las romanticas que hace, no me hizo mucha gracia en Moon in the Day. Me he dado cuenta que no sabe besar, deja lo labios y ya, uf que Jun Young si sabe como besar y espero que le haya enseñado porque como hubieran sido los besos como en Moon of the Day me hubiera costado tragarme que son pareja (por cierto no he visto la química en ningun lado).

No ha estado mal pero la historia no se sostenía , un intento de romper clichés cayendo en los mismos, no he visto nada de comedia en este romcom . Situaciones random y a las cuales le dan soluciones tontas.

Aparte del cameo de Taxi Driver, me ha gustado conocer a Kim Hyun Jin, no creo que aquí tenga un personaje interesante para poder comprobar su actuación pero lo bueno es que también esta en My Sweet Mobster y creo que allí voy a disfrutar mucho mas su actuación que en este porque hijo que personaje te has cogido.

The Most Endearing Watch This Year

What happens when Cinderella shift gears from being a damsel in distress to becoming a knight in shining armor!

Apart from the comic hysterics that are a metaphorical part of this moniker, "Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale" was a hilarious double take on an age-old classic. The show didn't have any godmother springing a surprise visit on the poor Cinderella, instead we have a daredevil female lead who knows what she wants and she strives to achieve her goals, no matter how foolhardy they seem. Add two handsome men to this mix, and we have a romcom bursting with fun and joyful antics. Starring Pyo Ye Jin & Lee Jun Young in the lead roles, the show gives us a wishful romance full of aching love and yearning. After watching the pilot episodes, I was instantly wooed over by the chemistry between the main leads; they are unusual, chaotic, and totally abnormal, but what is amusing about them is that they match each other's craziness. Shin Jae Rim is the only one who can stand Moon Cha Min's presumptuous attitude and arrogant demeanor, they are a match made in hell or vice versa. My Friday's have been an utter joy for the past five weeks, I couldn't wait to watch the new episodes.

A love story which fits the taste of modern time

Introduction

A modern fairy tale where Prince Charming is obnoxious and only focuses on protecting his money. Cinderella is not hard-working but is focusing on finding his Prince Charming to leave her sad and pathetic life.
Jae Rim is suffocating in her poverty-stricken life. She lives with her stepmother who is expecting a child with her late father and two step sisters who are not vicious. She joins as a manager of the social club run by Cha Min to meet a prospective groom. But she ends up finding herself falling for the confused and irrational Cha Min who has been shelved due to his own demon.

Review

Helmed by Kim Min Kyung, the modern-day take on the fairy tale is the perfect sauce to serve with a main dish. Jae Rim is not a no-nonsense heroine but is realistic. She admits to being not good at anything and looking for a shortcut to change her life. Her outlook towards her grief-stricken life justifies her action when she goes beyond the limit for the director who enters through the door. But she is not a poor judge of characters. Cha Min who was scarred at a very early age of his life is dragged down by his grief-stricken father who demotivates him every time he looks for love. His confusion builds up his hesitation which forbids him from feeling truly happy.



This modern take on fairy tale keeps true to the new arch. Cinderella does not have a vicious stepmother, but instead, someone who is more busy living a peaceful life. Stepsisters do not invest energy in ruining their lives, they are building their own stories in the process. As Prince Charming is not looking around for Cinderella with shoes, a snob yet solace-seeking second hero takes in the scene. The director and scriptwriter make the story logical and sound given it is 2024. People do not fall in love blindly anymore but look out for the person who feels them and makes them feel better as humans. Cha Min and Jae Rim both have been broken by the challenges of life. It is peace and comfort which their heart has been seeking. They are looking for the person before whom they can be real.

Pyo Ye Jin, the Moon in the Day girl is back with another heartbreaking love. She fits in the shoes of modern-day Cinderella who does not wait for the prince to come and take her away. She goes to find him on her own. Like her previous character, Ye Jin adds a nuance in her Jae Rim who does not flinch. She makes the heroine adorable and challenging at the same time. Lee Jun Young got a lightheaded graph after his grey shade in The Impossible Heir. His Cha Min is wronged and he is still harboring that wounded child inside him. He illustrated the strength of Cha Min in the scene of his interaction with his mother who has been seeking forgiveness after all this while. Kim Hyun Jin who donned the second lead again after his successful rendezvous in Cheer Up did a brilliant job in his few minutes of screen space. From a ladder-riding director to love smitten hero, he leaves a charm that makes you want more of him. Supporting casts of Song Young Joo, Kim Chae Eun, and Ryu Seoong Soo did a great job in pulling the story.

Conclusion

This is a time when we do not believe in fairy tales anymore. As our hearts are getting hardened, stories like freaking fairy tales come in as breakthroughs. Meeting Cha Min is not just our secret desire but a fresh wind that reminds us to breathe wholeheartedly once in a while.

Amazing drama to watch!!

Omg, just finished the last two episodes. I am sad that this drama ended so fast. I am not ready😞. Believe me this is the drama that I enjoyed a lot. Not even a single boring scene. I know it might sound weird and people might be offended, however I liked it more than lovely runner and queen of tears.
This drama has an everything comedy, romance and emotions. The way they portrayed the storyline is just perfect. Nothing much nothing less.
The drama taught me the meaning of true love, loving someone is willingness to change, to change for the better for someone that we love.
I truly wish that they get more viewers and more recognition which they deserves.
Lee Jun young and Po Ye Jin, they have done amazing job 👏🏻. Hope they will work again in another project.

Lighthearted ROM-COM with a bit of life lessons

Very well done! Started watching cuz i thought it was only gonna be funny. First two ep were kindaa cringe xD but i loved it, after that you get the feel how it's going to be and it gets better and better. Great actors great story. Everything you want and need in a kdrama in one place in 10 episodes. Probably will watch it again, now that all episodes are out. Had me all giddy and in my feels, haven't felt that for a while, whilst watching a kdrama. When you like certain type of kdramas it's easy to run out on good ones. So def RECOMMEND. You will not waste your time.

Love loads of comedy and cuteness in a ennemy-to-lover short story? This show is for you

I just finished this drama and I'm writing this with a big fat smile on my face.

This drama was nothing spectacular. There was no strong emotion (no one died a tragic death or has been horribly bullied), there was no big scary villain, no weak and machiavelic plots to ruin the lead, no truck involved.... But I enjoyed so much my time while watching this drama.

It's just a romance with a classic trope CEO/Poor girl but it's really well made. It was really fun to watch, a real comedy were you're bound to laugh every episode, some scenes were straight absurd but it was kind of well made to be fun and I like this kind of humour so I totally enjoy the awkwardness and cringyness here.
The fact that her step mother and step sisters loved her like a real child/sister is also a good and enjoyable surprise considering the references to cinderella.

One thing I didn't like at first though is witnessing too much FL's self pity party. She kept saying that she is no one and nothing, no one love her bla bla bla, but as the show progress you can understand that it's part of the story and her journey to self love. So even that was finally not as maddening as it used to be in other dramas.

So that's it, If you want a cute little romance with ton of fun where the leads hate to love each other (or love to hate each other ??? ), watch this drama.
