nteresting that the reviewer has such mixed feelings about "Cinderella at 2 AM." Not expecting much because of the title, but then surprised by how much they enjoyed it? Maybe it subverts some expectations of the classic Cinderella story. The reviewer also mentions Dramabeans' low rating, which makes me curious about their specific criticisms.

Cinderella at 2 AM" sounds predictable. Plus, the title makes me wonder if it's some weird late-night fever dream kind of drama. Rich boy, poor girl, forbidden love? Yawn. Maybe the reviews will change my mind, but with an 8.7 on IMDb and a 4.2 on Dramabeans, I'm not sure what to expect. Though the high rating from Viki viewers is interesting.

The fantasy elements mentioned in the summary intrigue me. I wonder how they will be incorporated into the story. Will there be magical elements or supernatural occurrences? I'm curious to see how the fantasy elements add a unique twist to the classic Cinderella tale.

This Korean drama is definitely easy to watch. It made me go look for other Cinderalla-type Korean dramas that I can watch on a slow easy day. Right now I am also watching a retelling of Snow White. In this retelling, Snow White's father was murdered by her stepmother and she ran away from home because she overheard her stepmom saying she should have killed her too. WHOA! How evil can a stepmother get?

This K-drama is based on a web novel of the same name, but I can't seem to find it online. Wanted to compare how fantasy was handled in the novel. I'll keep checking.
