I might have an unpopular opinion based on what I’ve been reading from others lately, but I have to say—I really enjoyed every episode of Cinderella at 2 AM. The plot intrigued me from the start, offering a fresh twist on the classic rich-guy, poor-girl romance. I especially loved how the main leads were already deep into their relationship before the story really began, which felt like a refreshing change.

What stood out to me was how the two leads continued to have a deep respect and love for one another, even after their breakup. I do agree that the breakup phase dragged on a bit, and I wish Moon Sang-min’s character wasn’t the only one holding onto the relationship for so long. I would’ve liked to see the female lead fight a little harder at times. That said, the subplot surrounding her family’s history was heart-wrenching and helped explain why she held back emotionally.

I also wish there were more scenes exploring her relationship with her brother, as well as a deeper dive into the male lead’s relationship with his mother. Of course, I understand those weren’t the main focus. Overall, while the show was full of clichés and tropes, it genuinely made me laugh and had me rooting for all the characters involved. So, no—it’s not a perfect show, but if you go in without too many expectations, I think you’ll enjoy it. Side note: The OST is stunning, and TXT Yeonjun’s Boyfriend was instantly added to my playlist after watching!
