SYNOPSIS

A modern day adaptation of Cinderella with a twist as our Cinderella, Goo Hyo Sun, plots revenge against her evil stepsister , Eun Jo for years of pain and suffering.

She has neither aspiration nor emotion and her smile is sarcastic. Eun Jo is a girl who has apathy toward life. Her mother, who has been living as a single mother for 18 years, finally found the right person to marry and brought Eun Jo into the stepfather’s house.

A decent house and a decent family…. Eun Jo feels that everything in this house does not fit for her. The most unbearable thing she faces is the stepsister Hyo Sun, who is the apple of her father’s eyes and beloved by everyone in the house. Hyo Sun also takes away the mind of Eun Jo’s mother, just like her bright and untainted character attracted all the other people. Eun Jo cannot tolerate this situation, since she lost the only one that she completely owned.

She sets her mind on getting even with Hyo Sun. Thus Eunjo thinks 'Cinderella shouldn’t be loved by her stepmother. You broke the rule! I’ll pay you back by taking away what you have and will have! But then… What should I do first?’

Character Description

(I tried to translate the best I can from the english)

Moon Geun Young as Eun Joo ("Cinderella's Stepsister")

Has a dirty way of talking, a cynical smile and no movement for the heart breaking thing. No fantasy to life. From the time of birth, she skipped babyhood, childhood, girlhood, that means, from the age of ten, she already started to sigh saying "Life is too harsh"

The reason of the no-dream, no fantasy to life was influenced by her mother’s life, which smells badly wherever she went. Her mother moved onto several men as she dreamed to be a high class lady. Eun Joo always hated that kind of life style.
She doesn't want to be involved with another person’s life, more frankly speaking, ‘The life without mother’ She thinks if her mother did not exist, she could fly more freely.

Hong Kihoon

Successor of Hungjuga which is now on the way to conglomerate. At first, it had started as a small brewery. He used to enter Daesungdoga freely as his father Hong Hansuk was a very close friend to Mr. Ku Daesung. But, as Hungjuga had grown up very fast, automatically his visits to Daesungdoga became rare. He received good education. He learned music and fine art and to not to be treated as low class family member.

He has good body and graceful face. He grew up to be a nice man who is a successor of rich family. Before starting his army service, he visited Daesungdoga for courtesy. There, he found a new face and started to love Eun Joo. But, she never treated Kihoon as a high class person.

Seo Woo as Goo Hyosun ("Cinderella")

Pretty, kind, bright girl. Only daughter of Daesungdoga. Her father, Mr. Ku Daesung, owner of Daesungdoga is like a lion to his workers. But, his face becomes gentle in front of Hyosun’s sadness or sucking up-ness (this is my word lol).

When her father ended being single, having a new mother and new sister meant there are two more people who can love her. So, she is a person who never thinks about bad things about another person. Even when the new mother and new sister harass her, from the start she never thought they ever hated her. Because to her, other people should love her.

After she knew her stepsister hated her though, she decides to start a war against her stepsister to reclaim the things which belonged to her from the first time.

 

Taecyeon as Han Jungwoo

A reckless simpleton who was raised by hairy Mr. Chang, 10th immoral lover of Mrs. Song Kangsook. Mrs. Song is mother of Eun Joo. (So Jungwoo's father was with Eunjo's mother before). Fat boy whose weight was almost 100Kg in his middle school age.

Nobody had cared about him, so he took care of himself. He had joined the wrestling team as the team gave him food (T^T how sweet). He moved to the baseball team when the team gave him more food (okay getting greedy lol). Food was some kind of religion to little Jungwoo. The food, which even (hairy?) Mr. Chang or Mrs. Song Kangsook never prepared for him, was served by Eun Joo.

After Eun Joo came to Mr.Chang’s home, there is a smoke of cooking. The never ending hunger was smoothed out by EunJoo. He decided to love Eun Joo who cared him. So, even after Eun Joo left, he never gave up love to Eun Joo. He decided to grow up as a nice smart man for the purpose of giving royalty to Eun Joo. Then, he came back in front of Eun Joo as a wonderful man.

*Tear, tear, cry, cry* I think Jungwoo's description is the sweetest to read about..

Anyways I know all of us have been waiting like crazy for this drama to air on KBS World, I especially can't wait! Moon Geun Young looks super crazy but really awesome and even though I'm not the biggest Hottests in the world I am so psyched about Taecyeon shedding his Beastly Image to a super sweet dude! Seriously I won't put it past me to fall for another Jihoo sunbae character, especially if he goes with a bad girl.. eek! Yall know I'm already daydreaming in my head right..
