Just like what other reviewers have said Boys Over Flowers theme. I believe that it gives off more of a high school theme rich chaebol families. I didn't really like how the male leads are portrayed as little kids that doesn't really know what they are doing. Their physical appearance should lean on more towards older roles. That's one of the reasons why I didn't really like watching it. But over all the story is alright for me but many will not agree with me about my review.

I watched this drama because my friend recommended this to me. I really expected a lot. Well the first few episodes were really good. I usually ask myself who will she end up with. But then after watching 6 episodes, the plot starts to be boring in my opinion. Since I could feel the boredom while I was watching it, I decided to spoil myself to see if this is worth watching. I took a glimpse on the last episode and I was disappointed on how the things ended up. So I decided to drop it. I don't have any right to say if the drama is nice or not since I didn't finish the whole thing. But I think this drama is worth watching for some and boring for others. It really depends on the person whose watching it since we have different opinion about the plot of a drama. So for those who are planning to watch this, you should try at least so that you'll know if you'll like it or not. Anyway this is just my review. I don't mean to offend anyone.

What a let Down!

What a shit show! Cast were reasonable and they did a pretty good job.

I know making a tv show is not easy, it take time, hard work, money and lot of effort. So I am not always too critical about a show knowing that so many people worked so hard to bring it to their audience. The story was horrible, the story writer could not figure out what the show is about. There was no consistency and continuity. No Creativity.

I am not sure how this was released it in the first place. The Director, what was he doing/thinking directing this kind of show. Is he not ashamed of himself? The story writer, how does he put this on the film to show all of his incompetence for everyone?
I am embarrassed for everyone who made this show.

My Favorite n Ima Dude Like Cmon

Let me just say real fast i hate female lead not because i hate females or I'm sexist its as a male myself i can relate more to a male lead than a female lead but this ultimately became one of my absolute number one favorites as a k drama and even though it was a female lead i could still find things that were so good with the story and production

The Character Drama and Character Development To Me Was By Far One of The Best Iv Seen From Most K Dramas How Ha Won Went From Tom Boyish To More Girlish But Keeping Some of That Tom Boyishness and i Think Its That Tom Boy in Her That Made Me Feel Like Her And Ji Woon Were Meant To Be Really The Rebellious Guy With The Tom Boy Strong Girl Is Perfect I Think The Bad Reviews Come From People Wishing She Would Have Got With The Other Brothers But This Ending Was The Best Outcome And This Show Had The Perfect Amount Of Romance Comedy And Anticipation

Funny, cute + sweet

This was super cute and funny. I really enjoyed it! There were some slow parts, but it has a slow burn. I loved the female leads relationship with all the guys! I feel like she had something special with each of them. She was really amazing, throughout the story she stayed true to herself and wanted to do what she thought was right for the ones she cared for. I think I rooted more for her to pick Kang’s Hyun min, he was my favorite, even though he was arrogant. He really grew on me. I did love how the story unfolded, and I look forward to more shows with these actors.

This drama is a jewel in disguise and perfect for getting out of a drama slump. Though Cinderella and the 4 Knights lives solely off its main female lead and all the relationships in the drama itself, it's something you should give a try. 

Storywise C4K could not be more cliche. Seriously, pretty much everything about the story was typical rom-com. The plot makes you think you'll get a total reverse harem story but that storyline dies pretty much in episode one since everyone who watched a few rom-coms before knows who ends up with who or at least who doesn't end up with the other person. That is actually also the only reason why I watched it. If it was really a harem story I would've skipped the drama.
Characters
The female lead is amazing. There are plenty of headstrong or stubborn or earnest female leads in the history of dramas, but Eun Ha Won takes that to a whole different level and she does it in a charming way. I was seriously afraid she was gonna be over the top but she was like...a real human being I guess? Someone who didn't seem out of a drama but more like a normal person, you'd meet on the street, and that was so refreshing.
The other characters are pretty cliché, as well as there is a lot of character development you can expect beforehand. Another thing I have to praise though is the fact that finally we have a second female lead that is kinda a love rival but also a friend. She doesn't hate Eun Ha Won and wants to be friends with her, which I think is like a total turnaround from other dramas.
Otherwise the drama totally lives off its relationships and the interactions that come with it. Funny comebacks, lovely couple scenes, and so on and I spend pretty much every episode laughing my head off or being glued to the dramatic scene.

For me C4K is a jewel in disguise because you expect your typical rom-com and you'll get exactly that but in such a refreshing and bubbly way you'll want to giggle your heart out. I totally recommend it for people in a drama slump!!!

Nooo! Why did this show have to end? My Saturday and Sunday mornings would start with this show and now that it has concluded, I have nothing to kickstart my weekend. Now how am I supposed to know that the weekend has arrived?

Let’s weigh Cinderella and Four Knights on our show beam balance and see how well this rom-com fares.

Good Weights
Ah Jae Hyun: I liked him from his first scene itself. His chemistry with the Park So Dam was far more electric than that with Jung Il Woo. I was rooting for Hyun Min (Ah Jae Hyun) for the longest time despite knowing the fact that Ha Won will eventually end up with Kang Woo. I was actually hoping for the show makers to surprise the audience and let her go with Hyun Min. His chemistry with Hye Ji (Son Na Eun) was just meh… maybe because Hye Ji herself was so meh on the show. Couldn’t they have given him more screen time? He was so good!

Park So Dam: This new age Cinderella is smart strong, brave, and indomitable. So Dam may not be an exceptional Korean beauty but her tomboy looks helped her look convincing in the show. She isn’t the perfect Cinderella but most certainly was the perfect Ha Won. She acts well and shares good chemistry with all the three Kang cousins.

Melodious OST: I give the show’s OST a big giant humongous thumbs up! Ji Woon and Ha Won’s love song ‘For You’ (the ballad version) gives you the feels. Its beautiful lyrics ‘…you’re the only one for me….I’m the only one for you’ perfectly captures what Ji Woon feels for Ha Won. ‘My Romeo’ by Jessi always reminds me of the first few episodes that were dominated by Hyun Min. It is a fun and peppy song that suits all the amusing and mischievous instances on the show. Finally, the song played mostly when someone (read Hye Ji) was brooding on the show, Apink’s ‘Without You’ is a song that will stick in your memory even when you do not really get the lyrics.
 

Bad Weights
Too Farfetched: Now tell me why will a chaebol (extremely rich businessman) grandfather hire a young girl to change or reform his young grandsons? Why would a grandfather keep a young girl in a house full of testosterones ooops…. I mean young good-looking boys and not expect her to fall for even one of them? He is aware of how rebellious those boys are, so what made him think that a lame ‘dating’ ban will stop the girl from falling in love with any of the boys. Had Grandpa threatened them with disownment; they would have all come wagging their tails behind him and he would have to neither spend money on Ha Won nor face the threat of one of his grandsons falling in love with a poor helpless girl.

Too Clichéd: Actually, rom-com’s like these are always heavily clichéd. The hero is always there to help the girl under every circumstance. He always reaches her wearing a jacket so he can offer it to her. He will always be around her when she is lonely and upset. He will always offer a shoulder to cry on when she is sobbing. This show had it all. It is a typical romantic drama and is nothing out of the box.    

Though the show beam balance tilts with good weights, Cinderella and Four Knights is not a perfect drama. It is not even an ideal drama. It is a typical clichéd drama where you know what will happen next. However, despite the predictability people watch such dramas only for the ‘aww’ moments. And this show has plenty of them. Its good-looking cast is the cherry on the cake. I liked this show because it was funny and sweet. There was nothing complicated was entertaining for me.

If you like predictable stories with lots of lovely moments to swoon over then go for this one. Binge watch it over the weekend. Trust me you will not regret it.

Honestly I know there's mixed reviews of this drama but for me it was 9.5/10. I liked the plot, the characters, the chemistry among them. I liked the enemy to lovers kinds trope and how their past was also intertwined without them knowing. The osts are soooo gooood. The only thing I honestly disliked was when the grandpa didn't even apologize for his doings. I honestly didn't like his character though without him the drama won't even happened lol. But I've rewatched this quite a few times and I never got bored of it.

This drama is a cutesy, cliche drama! I love this drama because it never gets too dramatic and yet it still manages to kin my interest! I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for a deep drama with emotional turmoil but its still a nice watch! As you watch the characters slowly fall for each other you see more problems arise keeping them apart. Its highly cliched but if it isn't broken don't fix it! I would recommend this drama if you enjoy fluffy romances, strong female lead, and reverse harem! I really enjoyed this one!
