I honestly enjoyed it very much, was light, funny, comic, amusing, romantic, sad, sexy and deep thoughts about family and love. It had a lot of good things going on and they were able to tell a good story, with a good balance.
Some things were not exactly necessary, some scenes or actions of the characters but i guess they made sense in the writers head so i’m not gonna argue with that. The cast was great to watch, they did an amazing job, the female lead was very well chosen, she’s such a cutie, i fell in love with her at first sight :) She’s so pretty and those eyes...i mean who wouldn’t fall for her?
All the male co stars were very good too, such a handsome and fun bunch of guys. The characters evolve as the story unravels and their bonds go deeper, both for family and love. I mean that family has some deep issues that need to be fixed ASAP and her coming into their lives actually helped to give that extra push for them to be closer as a family.
It's enjoyable and has comedy and romance in equal measures, they give spotlight to some sensitive matters but treat them with actual respect so it was a plus for me to watch that.
(THIS IS NOT A SPOILER because i am not telling the whole scene and just a tiny bit, an action that was actually hillarious to me so proceed reading at your own risk XD)
There’s this one scene i think it’s just genius and kudos to the writer for that one, when they are both so drunk and alone that their true feelings start to surface, they are super funny omfg i can’t even explain how good that scene was for me XD the way he just says to her “saranghaeyo” while being that drunk and she replies “shut up” and "take a hike" ditching him straight up, it’s just priceless! <3

Prince Charming Wins Your Heart
I've held back from watching this series simply because there's so many Cinderella-type movies and shows. This was my second time trying to watch this one, and glad I finally did it - it turned out better than I thought.The acting was decent all-around, but I really enjoyed the cinematography of this, and the costuming was really nice. And if course, my favorite lead actor, Jung Il Woo, made this a watchable series. He really carried the story, just as expected. I was not crazy about the lead actress, but I did like actors Choi Min and Ahn Jae Hyun and their roles, especially how they turned it around near the end of the series.
The story and plot is good and that carries you through the series. Would recommend to give this one a watch, it is quite magical.

I'll start off by saying I am not a professional critic just a girl saying what's on my mind so do with that what you will. Let's goooo.
Listen this was great but how are they gonna do my music man so dirty like damn she really brother zoned him like that. JUSTICE FOR KANG SEO-WOO!!!!! Don't get me started on that annoying fashion girl please she cries in every damn scene I quite literally always skipped her parts talk about a pick me, girl. Anyways it made me laugh enough that I completed it so if you like the enemies to friends to lovers vibe then great. And I love the female lead played by actress Park So-dam. Each to their own though.

Awesome series
Story was intriguing, gets you in the hook the moment you start watching.Cast was awesome, they portrayed their roles very well, and loved their interactions not a single dull moment. The main couple Ji Woon and Eun Ha Won are so cute together, and Hyun Min and Hye Ji are cute too as a couple and loved the singer Seo Woo and Lee Yoon Sung the assistant to the chairman.
Music, well I just loved it. The music comes in the best moments and it gives you the feeling you’re supposed to feel when watching the events of the story.
Development of the story was well done, and the paste of the story was great.
I will definitely re-watch and buy some of the songs of the soundtrack.
Thank you for producing such a lovely story with awesome music and cast.
To the producer, the writers, and the whole team who made, and participated in the creation of this awesome series, a big thank you!
(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)
I really enjoyed watching this series.

A Cute Watch For What It Is
As a long time K-Drama fan, I pick my dramas on actors I like, or if it's a general genre I enjoy. I am an absolute sucker for rom-coms. Rom-coms are such a hit or miss in the K-Drama world. I walked into this one with zero expectations and actually enjoyed it. If you take it for what it is, it's a cute drama.With that said ... ONTO THE REVIEW!!
Story wise, I thought it was an absolute mess. it started off with this cute build up to the idea of "Cinderella" and a quirky montage/backstory of each of the characters.
The first three-ish episodes of what I thought was the story that would carry the drama quickly fizzled out to unrequited and awkward one-sided love hexagons? The whole premise of "become a family" gets lost, but magically is perfect at the end.
Hye Ji made for a terrible "love triangle antagonist". Her backstory was stale and she was such a third-wheel character with no real potential.
The acting itself, I thought was as good as it can be. Each actor made their character believable and shaped them to the best of their ability and it goes to give them credit to that.
The OST was my jam! Not only did I run and add all the main songs to my spotify, but absolutely sang along each time they made the tune hit during the dramatic scenes.
As for rewatch value, I wouldn't be opposed to playing this in the background while I knit or crocheted. I'd definitely opt to skip some of the fluff episodes.
Overall, coming into this drama with zero expectations and an open-mind, it was cute, quirky and I appreciate the fact that the FL wasn't a helpless, fragile, pretty face.

To start, this was very interesting to watch in my opinion. It got me hooked very well. There were many plot-twists that happened, which makes the show more tempting to continue.
I’m very glad that Hawon chose Jiwoon as they’re a very cute couple. Although, I liked Seowoo the most but it’s okay ahahaha..
I cried a few times during some sad scenes, which makes me like it a lot! I like shows that have a lot of romance, comedy, but also a bit of angst.
However, I am very glad that it ended happily because I’m not sure if I would take it if it was a sad ending.
Overall, I loved it so much!! This is so far my number one rated drama. I haven’t rated anything else a 10 :0

This drama is pretty predictable and cliche but I found myself watching it because it was refreshing to me, a bit nostalgic as well to when I first started watching dramas. It also had some actors I've seen around and just gave it a chance. I think it's one of those dramas those dramas to watch after you've just finished watching a gooood drama that might have finished recently.

Acting/Cast: I loved many cast members, and hated other characters (there's always at least one lol). Park So Dam was the female lead, and I have never seen her in another show. For me, I really enjoyed her acting and the chemistry she had with Jung Il Woo. She has become a favorite for me. As for Jung Il Woo, I much preferred him in this role than his role in Flower Boy Ramen Shop. The maturity and playfulness were at levels that just seemed more appropriate for him. Ahn Jae Hyun has quickly become a favorite of mine, I loved him as the younger brother in You Who Came From the Stars, and I enjoyed him in this show. However, His relationship with Son Na Eun was overly obnoxious and tiring with the push and pull. Lee Jung Shin played his role very well, acting so perfect and jilted but loyal. I really enjoyed watching him. Choi Min Sung was quite good as well, very subtle nd I think many don't give him enough credit. He was very good. Overall the cast was not bad at all; everyone fit their roles. There were just characters you like, hate, and couldn't care less about.
Music: THIS SHOW HAD A WONDERFUL SOUNDTRACK. I enjoyed the music more than the show I think. I immediately downloaded the OST. The songs are recognizable, even when mixed and altered for different parts of the show. Each song used in te show fits so well, adding rather than distracting. Anyone who knows me knows how important that is. The sound effects that I remember were not too distracting, especially considering I can't remember any in particular.
Rewatch: I would not rewatch this, however, blooper compilations for it are hilarious. If some compilation of good and bad moments in the show came up (how some people put moments together for fan-made music videos? I might watch that). I do know some people enjoy it enough to rewatch all of the show or certain episodes. I would have to be very bored and have nothing else to watch.
Overall: This drama was alright, you love some actors and their characters and get incredibly tired of others. The music is the best part, the story was okay. I wouldn't rewatch this, even for background noise, but I know some will. I would give it about a 7.5.
