All of a sudden I am a lot more reconciled to a boybander in Cinderella Unni...

[dangermousie]

Apparently he is a baseball player attached to Moon Geun Young's character because "she's the only one who fed him". I am confused as to why he couldn't get a meal elsewhere but am pleased to see she clearly did her job well - that's some prime rib there.

Of course, another burning question remains - why must one practice baseball shirtless? I have attended baseball games and the players always had their shirts on. I have been rooting for the wrong teams!

On a more serious note - I am confused. This is supposed to be a Cinderella reimagining but so far we have:

Rough, gang-fighting Stepsister who turns hard under lack of love.
Her childhood friend Chun Jun Myung
Her childhood friend (and feed-ee) Baseball Boybander
Cinderella herself who looked kinda creepy and spoiled in the stills.

After that and the trailer I actually think the story has little to do with hardworking poor girl abused by spoiled stepsis who marries a prince. I am much happier assuming it's just an original melodrama which threw Cinderella in as a sort of catchy title (sort of how Prosecutor Princess was going to be Prosecutor Mata Hari even though it had nothing to do with the sultry WWI spy). If that is indeed true, it will make me much happier - I like my fairy tales left alone and not redone, but emo melodrama with shirtlessness? Much better.
