I think this is a def an underrated drama. One thing to note is that the title and description made it sound like a simple romantic drama, but it's much more than that. It's pretty dark, with (to me) very little humor. A better description is that it tells with story of Cinderella, from multiple viewpoints and the journey of each character from this common fairytale.
What I Loved:
MGY is excellent as Eun Jo. I really liked how they dared to make a dark heroine, and they flipped the usual bright-and-cheery female lead and cold second female around. She really did a good job bringing Eun Jo to life and making her flawed but likeable.
Seo Woo was pretty good as Hyo Son too. I did fall for her cuteness, a bit, but I also got irritated wth her a bit too.
I liked the scenary a lot too. I liked how in took place in sort of a rural-ish area (to me--I'm not from Korea, so I wouldn't know, but it had that small town feel to it).
Things that bothered me:
I loved the pretty footwear, but I hate how the girls were running around in them. It was just so distracting lol.
Taecyeon's Han Jun Woo was a bit under-utilized. I wish there were more scenes with him and Eun Jo, especially because he is the only one that gets Eun Jo to act a certain way.
To note:
The plot can be a bit slow, and the pacing a bit off at times, so if those are deal-breakers to you, be wary.
Overall:
Watch is you want a complex, unique female lead, character growth
