Cinderella Unni: episodes 7-8

24 Apr

These two episodes were just okay for us- mainly because nothing really happened, other than a lot of angsty, emo longing/glaring from the love square. Which is okay in small doses but when, it’s a key foundation for a show it can be a tad tiresome to take. That’s why we’re super pleased that Jung Woo is around to distract Eun Jo. How cute is this guys? He is just such a sweetheart. We loved when he picked her up and ran for her *sigh.Do we even need to mention that dance routine he performed? ha-ha.

How rare is the following picture? Yes that’s right Eun Jo is ACTUALLY smiling!
 

-Ki Hoon is really getting on our nerves- as a drama viewer we like our leading men to have alliance ONLY to the leading lady- if you like her, like her properly. We can’t stand to see him staring at Eun Jo as if he’s completely heartbroken (which he does really well and you feel for him) but then he goes off and plays with Hyo Sun- sure he made himself clear to her that he’s not interested but come on, we too would be confused by his actions and we don’t love him like Hyo Sun does.

‘If you treat Hyo Sun badly, I’ll kill you’ – Just when we thought we had Eun Jo pegged, she goes and says that. She is by far the best thing about this show.

– After we watched episode 7, we feared that the end was near for Hyo Sun’s Dad sob*

We love him and Eun Jo together. She finally found that parental figure in her life that she never had and their tentative relationship is so lovely to watch on screen. We can’t explain how relieved we were when he didn’t die in ep. 8, although we know it’s going to happen soon. L 
 We wonder if she’ll ever call him dad, although we imagine that the fact he asked her out right was a bit much for Eun Jo’s emotions to take. Moon has the conflicted, hurt look down perfectly, we don’t know about you, but she has us as viewers captivated whenever she’s on screen, she is THAT GOOD. Even her longing, envious/possibly jealous looks at Hyo Sun and her dad’s interactions make us feel for her.
We totally don’t get those people that can dislike Eun Jo as a character- she is so complex and emotionally broken that it’s hard not to understand why she is the way she is.     
                                                                            

Other mentions:

-We really didn’t like how Hyo Sun was praised for getting those Japanese contracts. She used her looks to secure those contracts, not her hard work, intelligence or even her charm – for us, that’s nothing really to be proud of. Although we guess it’s a starting point to show her progress from being completely incompetent to learning the ropes and building up her character to be a decent adversary to Eun Jo.
                                 

– We love Eun Jo and her mother’s interaction- it’s just so good to watch- brilliant acting, writing and they share such great chemistry together. Can you imagine how tired you’ve got to be to speak to your mother that way?  

‘It would be a whole lot easier to endure hell, than to be with you.’

Yikes.
