This show is so silly in the best way. I lost it when Cha-min was lying in bed with the umbrella.

At the same time, I'm really invested in Jae-rim getting her happy ending. I liked that she painted a painting for the exhibit this week and I hope to see more of her realizing her old dream.

What's to say about this drama except that it is a delicious confectionery of self-aware, OTT desirous glances and blatant sexual innuendo?

That Prince Charming is the most down-to-earth character here as @dramaddictally suggests---now-now, I said MOST; it doesn't mean he's actually got his feet on the ground---is a hoot, and that our Cinderella wannabe doesn't even really have a clue what she actually wants from life makes her just a few really hilarious realizations away from a quite nice plot line.

May she become a painter of excellent repute, able to live a life of leisure because she marries into wealth!!! It's the fastest way for artists to become rich anyway 😅

Another set of episodes that were pure, silly fun. I love the way this show doesn't shy away from depicting sexual attraction as normal and healthy, and those scenes with the audio erotica were hilarious. I also really like how the actors are in on the joke, and not afraid to revel in the ridiculous. Thank you, Jun, for erasing any lingering memories I have of "Impossible Heir."

I can wax poetic about how much I love this drama. It is so funny and self aware. The actors look like they are having the best time and their adorable crushes on each other are so much fun to watch evolve. I appreciate everything happening, HAPPY SIGH.

This drama is freaking weird. For now, in a good way. They are self aware and are not biting more than they can chew. I binge watched all 4 episodes and they flew by but right now it is more like a filler drama for me that I wouldn't have watched had there been better dramas out there. Nonetheless, I'll continue and hopefully it remains the same, it's doing a few things right. I also like that her step mother and sisters are not bad at all.

This is such nonsensical fun with little bits of sweetness and sincerity threaded in. I find I never have much to really think about it because it's deliberately silly in a really enjoyable way. I do wonder if they'll manage to keep the tone throughout, even when/if they go into anything deeper. I hope they do, I'd hate to see this over the top romp turn boring because they want to amp up the angst or pull in some kind of too serious mystery and mess up the tone.

This continues to be weird, stupid, and hilarious, in all the best ways. I'm also pleasantly surprised at how much I actually like her stepfamily. They're not awful people, quite the opposite, and I'm interested to see if and how she actually grows closer to them as well.

This feels like a jdrama adaptation of a shoujo manga but on 1.5x speed. I rather like it.

I loved these episodes even more than the previous two.

Our Cinderella and Popcorn (I do not remember their real names) are fun.

1. They fighting and pretending they don't have the hots for each other is hilarious.
Work is pretty much their playground.

2. I love the SFL wants to get Cinderella out of there but only after she gets her rich man. LMAO such a supportive queen. I respect her.

Oh, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of her home life. 😂

3. The UMBRELLA. Do I need that to become a rich Pororo like him? I also want to earn money just by playing all day.

Do I have to sleep, do exercise and get a self portrait with my umbrella? That's the trick?

Well, apparently not. The dad seems to think the trick is seeing woman like rocks. But can someone tell him that makes no sense and he's only making his son sexually frustrated?
That Pororo got scary in the last few minutes of the episodes.

4. I knew the "brother in law" was going to play nasty. But technically it's all Derella's fault for taking money from a random and not even asking her sis if she likes him.

Dude seems harmless, but there most be a reason why her sis rejected him.

Her two sisters have completely different goals and values than her. So she should take that into consideration before trying to "help" them with anything.

And I don't know how was her dad with her sisters, but feel like the dynamic in the house was a little different between him and the girls, and her mom with her.

He even only left a note for her and nothing for the other two.
We don't know anything about the girls' bio dad either.
And we don't know if Derella's dad kept causing financial problems all the time.
There's a reason why even she says that he was never helpful.

I'm curious about all of this.
Her mom and unnies are very cute. And even if her sis doesn't like the dad, she never said she didn't like our Cinderella. She never said or treated her like an outsider, just the dad.

5. The bestie is the best!! And the coworkers too. I love all the characters except for the SML. But I think it's because he's too normal? 😂🤣

This is a fun show that never takes itself seriously- and we need shows like that. When I watch this show I always have a smile on my face.

I am having so much fun with this show. I love that Chae-Min's mind is in the gutter most of the times.. lol. 'Oppa, go faster' ROFL!! The boy's struggle is real. Poor thing had to listen to erotica on audio!!

I like that Cha-min is disappointed in her dreams but appreciates her hard work. He sees her value and wants her to stand on her own feet. I really hope Jae-Rim sees her own worth soon.

2ML carrying a sewing kit in his attache!! LOL.

I love the umbrella!! It's EPIC.
2FL's fashion it its own character.. I love all weirdness the show is throwing at me.. Bring it on.

I love Cha Min despite his brattt tendencies. He has a good heart underneath it all. He just does not know how to express it well due to his inexperience. He is endearingly weird and its okay.
While Jae Rim has set her mind to be the Cinderella in her own story while misunderstanding her weird boss's actions. I sure hope she get to realize her childhood dreams of being an artist. She has the talent for it.
I am loving this show so much its what I look forward to most this week.

The umbrella has a nomination and is moving into a leading position for the ' Inanimate object of the year' award. Love all of his umbrella portraits too.
In today's episode of 'overthinking the plot' maybe our Prince Charming is actually poor? And that's what those strange conversations with the Father's on both sides were referring to, as part of the wedding agreement? It's quite strange that both Father's agreed to a fake engagement.

Wooo I grinned so much through these two episodes that my jaw is hurting lol!! This is low investment high return kind of drama. It's beyond silly, and everyone is having fun, including me as the audience.

Prince Cha min is one of a kind, he is charming and doofus in the same breath. And how does he manage to look hot with that umbrella?

Notwithstanding all of the silliness, this drama actually has the courage - albeit in a lighthearted way -to raise real issues about the social conditioning of girls and young women, inequality and class privilege, and housing unaffordability. Many dramas wouldn’t go near these issues with a barge pole.

I forgot to say that the film director character overall was a bore. I perked up when he sewed his own button (the tyranny of low expectations) but he is a garden variety jerk. Off with his head!

I dropped the show after the premiere because it felt like I was forcing myself to watch. But I will continue to come here every week. Who knows? Perhaps I will pick it up again.

I am shocked -- SHOCKED I tell you -- at how good this drama is. The sharpness of the Cinderella story turned sideways, the dialogue, the acting, the costumes and props, the sets, the sound effects, etc. It takes super tight direction and production to get a result like this. That kind of attention to the big picture as well as the minutiae is what was missing in Frankly Speaking. That and a consistent storyline. I really hope they can carry this through the next 6 episodes, and I'm feeling optimistic today 😊

That hanging the laundry scene is 100% a parody of the same scene in Park's Marriage Contract, and DFFT pretty much is the better version.

This drama is it took me one more episode to appreciate it. Sometimes the voiceover comments make me rofl. And omg the moaning thankfully I was watching on phone no one in the room paid attention to notice that lol

I want to follow this story but not really in the mood for the tone of this show. so more than every thank you for the recaps so I can know what's happening

For this one I didn't like the first two episodes...in the middle of the 3rd episode before dropping I came here to check whether I should continue or not..for now I'm pausing it. The comedy isn't working for me..

Thank you for this fairytale recap.

Prince Charming goes Pororo aptly describes this drama.

Is the entrance to the office building the new elevator or rather library from Numbers!? How come uri OTP is *always* meeting up there.

While the jokes are getting a bit too off-color, the drama appears to be getting quite colorful - I mean with our painter Cinderella and not Prince Cha-min's erotic fantasies.

I'm not a fan of this humor which has plummeted to the nether regions but somehow the drama is making it work. Also the OTP is really cute.

I'm still looking warily at the step mom and sisters but they actually seem legit. What a relief. What about the new additions to the family - the baby and perhaps the blackmailing loan shark doctor brother-in-law!?

I thought the scene where the FL calls out the ML for kissing her out of pity was nice. Several times, dramas seem to blur the line between pity and love and I hate it. This was the first scene I actually was entertained by so far. I guess I will keep watching a bit more.
