Ew.) The push-and-pull grew old fast, especially when it’s clear to the viewers that Hyun-Min is better suited to be with his childhood friend, Hye-Ji (played by APink’s Son Na-Eun). (Again…she’s still a high school student. The writers pit cousins Ji-Woon and Hyun-Min as rivals who want to date Ha-Won. It’s just all kinds of wrong for a bunch of grown-ass men to be vying for a teenager’s attention. It’s vague how old the Knights are, but since they are all clearly out of college, I’d guesstimate that they range from mid to late 20’s. When we meet Ha-Won, she is not yet 18 and is a few months away from her high school graduation. Which leads me to am element that made me uncomfortable. For instance, when rebel-without-a-cause Ji-Woon and Ha-Won drunkenly flirt with each other, they are believable and incredibly likable (until I remember the age difference). There are a some really great moments in this series. He tells her that his one cavaet is that she is not to date any of her grandsons. She will be paid well, he says, if she can get them to act more like a family, rather than tenants. During a chance meeting with a wealthy patriarch - who is impressed that she can hold her own in a group of unruly men - he offers her a job to live at his estate and keep his grandsons in line. She works multiple minimum wage jobs to save enough for her first year of college. (In reality, Ha-Won had finally grown a spine and was standing up for herself.)

The only reprieve Ha-Won gets is when her father returns home from the road and the evil Steps move her belongings into an actual room.īut, instead of telling her dad how badly she is being treated, Ha-Won tries to make it appear as if they treat her well - even after her father slaps her for being disrespectful to his wife. So, she lives with her evil Stepmother and Stepsister, who make her sleep in the cluttered balcony of their apartment. Her mother died in a fire when she was a young girl. Her father is a truck driver who is rarely home. Ha-Won is a soon-to-be high school graduate. As you can tell by the title, “Cinderella and Four Knights” is a modern-day fairytale.
