Seishun Cinderella (2022)

Unwanted things become the most needed

Started as the synopsis mentioned in mydramalist. But then as long as the story progress it becomes something I didn't expect. At the middle of the story what a twist !!! Surprising but needed. At the end there are more twists to come. The romance was fluffy. First love ,youth, friendship these things really play a vital role in our life. Beautiful ending. The great message this drama gives us that that sometimes things don't actually happen like we want. But those things actually happen for our own good in near future.Your life is related to your family, friends, classmates and your lover. So whatever happens in your life don't mind and move on. Just wait for the future to see the hidden meaning lied behind those unwanted incidents.

Acting was good . Just sometimes the FL personality looked a little bit rush to me .But it's a drama of just 10 episodes . Episode duration is just 20 minutes+ . So it is quite negligible . Except that it was a good watch. If you like popular time travel drama/movie focused on youth like Blue birthday,Somehow 18, Closer to You, To my 19 year old, Shining for one thing, Someday or One day etc then I absolutely recommend it to you . It is a not thriller but it also holds a heavy meaning like the others I have mentioned here.

Someone peaked in high school

This drama wasn’t magical to me at all. At first I was blindly watching but soon I realized all the problems in it, and specifically the problematic things.

It’s so weird that this girl really hated her life so much over some tiny that happened in high school. She hated it so much that she thought her life thereafter was miserable and there were no redeeming qualities compared to getting rejected in high school. Now it was a horrible rejection, but she was 29 and years out of high school.

The romance isn’t good. The lead actor is very pretty, the main girl is ok- but she wasn’t ugly at all so I can’t boy into the rejection at all. The lead actor was a jerk to her in a different timeline, but he is basically a different person in the new one- the guy really likes her for her looks and I found no reason that told me he didn’t other wise. He was weirdly possessive and their whole romance I wasn’t buying, neither was their chemistry. The acting is so stiff, but the dialogue wasn’t helping.

I seriously can’t understand why for 12 years this girl couldn’t get over a high school boy. She fantasizes about getting with a high school boy and I thought that was weird, but after he knew I really had to think- this is predatory at this point. He knows she is an adult but is ok with that? She is living in this timeline as her 29 year old self but just looks like she is in high school.. because she is wearing a uniform.. there is no difference in looks from 29 to high school. Like even if I was stupid and blindly watching- I can’t- the immersion is hopeless with this one.

The whole idea of love is so juvenile. I guess it’s because this is based off a manga… but there are things this drama could’ve done right but didn’t. That main point being the main actress not being ugly, not looking 29 when she should, etc. There is too much filler when this could’ve been straight to the point. The acting pauses for dramatic effect and characters act as if their whole life depend on romance. That is the main character; her personality is she is in love with male lead. I can’t support that with her being 29.. I am at a loss here. I watched just for fun but ended up being irritated.

This girl really wanted to give up her whole modern life so she could date a boy in high school. Everyone peaked so badly here. Male lead is so bland and is just pretty- off the bat she just likes him and we don’t get why? I’m so appalled and offended- this drama is for young kids- wait it isn’t because the main character is straight up grooming the male lead because she is actually 29. I wasted my time. Please don’t waste yours.


If you want a high school romantic comedy watch My School President. If you want a Japanese High School drama watch Keita Hatsukoi. If you want time travel with romance watch Scarlet Heart. If you want a straight Japanese Romance watch an anime because they adapt much better than this did.
