Reviews
Before watching this, I totally thought it would just be a high school fluffy drama but the story here is presented so well.
Everybody lived their part well, Keigo & Sora both possess a beautiful heart & Manaha is strong & cheerful.
Unlike other high school drama, I loved the fact that both ML are beautiful inside and out, no one is aggressive & pushy but they consider FL's feelings as a priority.
There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Indeed.
I'm glad, I watched "Black Cinderella".

I'm pleasantly surprised with this drama. It's not just some fluffy story showing first love scenarios but it also delivered a deep message of self-acceptance or self-love and the struggles of achieving mental wellness. It also showcased the importance of true friendship, family and reaching for your dreams no matter how trivial it seems to other people. I especially liked the line, "Find your own kind of Sparkle".The actors did very well on their roles and you can feel the angst and other range of emotions that we all went through at some point in our lives.
You'll also develop a second lead syndrome. The 2nd lead is equally amazing and there are times you'll wish he ends up with the female lead. This is highly recommended for those looking for inspiring messages. This is one of my favorite Japanese drama now.
