Promise Cinderella

Japanese Drama 'Promise Cinderella' is a, surprisingly, enjoyable drama.

Even though the prospect of a love story with an age gap that included an underaged partner is offputting for me and I tend to not pick those dramas up, this one kind of makes it works and, in the end, their personalities, chemistry, and story create the perfect environment for the viewer to root for them and for the conclusion to come more naturally. The pace of the love story was another factor working in its favor, as it gave the time for the relationship to grow and develop naturally and not right from the start. However, the love triangle was not that successful, though it gave the opportunity for the girl to open up about who she really is and what she has been through.

Another enjoyable element was the workplace. The setting was brilliant and the small cases were a nice touch to make the main story more than a basic rom com. Unfortunately, that can't be said about the family drama that needed more scenes to be properly presented.

So, overall, 7 out of 10.
