Cinderella's Sister (DVD) (11-Disc) (English Subtitled) (End) (KBS TV Drama) (Premium Limited Edition) (Korea Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Applying a modern twist to the classic fairy tale, the 2010 KBS drama Cinderella's Sister follows the contentious relationship between two stepsisters as their lives and loves intertwine. Tamra Island heroine Seo Woo is the Cinderella, while Korea's little sister Moon Geun Young grows up into the role of the older "evil stepsister". The two petite actresses deliver big performances as reluctant sisters whose polar personalities and love-hate relationship bring them through many ups and downs from adolescence to adulthood. Making his post-army comeback, Chun Jeong Myung adds to the angst and rivalry as the man they both love. Cinderella's Sister also co-stars veterans Lee Mi Sook and Kim Gab Soo, and 2PM's Ok Taec Yeon in his acting debut.

Since a young age, Eun Jo (Moon Geun Young) has learned to trust no one and live strong on her own. Used to being dragged from one broken home to another by her manipulative, money-grubbing mother (Lee Mi Sook), Eun Jo doesn't know what to make of her mother's latest catch Dae Sung (Kim Gab Soo), the solemn head of a traditional rice wine brewery. Both Dae Sung and his daughter, bubbly spoiled princess Hyo Sun (Seo Woo), warmly welcome wary young Eun Jo into their sprawling home, and treat her with a kindness that she simply can't stomach. Instead, she forms a bond with brewery staff Ki Hoon (Chun Jeong Myung), the first person to see past her tough act, and it is his betrayal that will hurt the most. Naive Hyo Sun, meanwhile, stubbornly seeks affection at every turn, only to slowly realize she's losing Ki Hoon and everything else in her life to her cold stepsister.

Premium Limited Edition comes with 384 minutes of special features including commentary, making of, behind-the-scenes, interviews, scenes, and music video.

No evil, just acting
Moon Geun Young has really grown up. Not the face - she still easily passes for an underfed 15-year-old - but her acting has really grown up. At 23, Korea's little sister looks better suited to play an angry schoolgirl than a conflicted career woman, but she comfortably covers both ages in Cinderella's Sister. The air of precociousness that naturally followed her previous roles in Love Me Not and The Painter of the Wind is gone when she appears as Cinderella's Sister's heroine Eun Jo.

Playing the misunderstood stepsister in this modern-day twist on Cinderella, Moon is a prickly, vulnerable ball of defensive spite. We first meet Eun Jo as a disenchanted teen who's been dragged by her opportunistic mother from one house to another too often to believe in families, fathers, or false hopes. When her mother's latest husband turns out to be a decent, dignified man, she's unable to accept the normal life suddenly pulled over her head. As much as she wants to inside, she can't open up and trust others, so instead she fights back, answering kindness with coldness and resisting feigned relationships with honest resentment. Moon's portrayal of Eun Jo is extraordinary, hiding anger, yearning, and vulnerability behind a tough front of cutting words and embattled tears. More remarkably, she succinctly essays Eun Jo at two different time periods - a willful, distrusting teenager on the brink of believing love, and a wary young woman who's found her place but learned to not let her guard down again.

Moon Geun Young is duly matched by Seo Woo, another petite, baby-faced actress whose appearances belie her age. In contrast to Moon's glaring eyes and stoic rage, Seo Woo bubbles with energy and expressions as Hyo Sun, the clingy, naive, dolled-up "Cinderella" who pours out the emotions she wears on her sleeve to no avail. She just can't compare to her do-all sister, be it in work or in romance, but she can endure all bumps and bruises for love and family.

Both stubborn and soft-hearted in their own ways, Eun Jo and Hyo Sun's stilted love-hate relationship is achingly realistic. It is above all the setup, growth, and character drama of Eun Jo and Hyo Sun that make Cinderella's Sister such a special story. They rely on, protect, and complete each other despite themselves. They hurt each other, but not in the typical Korean melodrama, backstabbing-stepsister ways; they hurt each other like family. That's not to say Cinderella's Sister isn't a melodrama, because it most definitely is. The triangle love with Chun Jeong Myung and his character Ki Hoon's very K-drama chaebol family feud are integral to the girls' lives and rivalry, which play out at a traditional rice wine brewery (suitably obscure and interesting for a K-drama concept location).

Cinderella's Sister isn't the ideal K-drama if you're looking for a cute romance or a flat-out super melodrama. For all the same reasons that Cinderella's Sister is great - the flawed characters, the angsty and stagnant relationships, the spot-on acting - it can also be frustrating, because it frequently denies the emotional release that makes a satisfying watch. Eun Jo, Hyo Sun, and Ki Hoon do not make good heroes to root for, because their mistakes, failures, and conflicts are largely internal, and they often come painfully close to confession and consolation, only to back away.

Every time the characters seem to have walked away too far from each other and the audience though, they bring you back in with raw emotions: Moon Geun Young's defiant eyes, Chun Jeong Myung calling out Eun Jo's name, Seo Woo's hurt puppy face, and Taec Yeon's wide smile, which comes free of baggage thanks to his simple, immensely likable character as the second male lead (i.e., that guy who loves the girl in the most sincere and adorable of ways, but doesn't get loved back). And, of course, Lee Mi Sook and Kim Gab Soo hit it out of the park as the parents. Lee Mi Soo, in particular, is a force of nature as the two-faced mother whose life of deception weighs down on her daughter. She fulfills the "evil stepmother" role, but for all the damage she wreaks, she's still nowhere as evil as the other K-drama stepmothers out there. More than anything, she's frustrating, a steely, beautiful woman who, like the daughter she loves dearly but hurts so much, is too busy fighting the world to appreciate what she has.

Cinderella's Sister requires a bit more patience than other young, trendy melodramas, but the complex characters and stellar performances by the cast are worth the emotional investment and the occasional frustration.

Brilliant - deep characters and wonderful acting Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Having watched this entire series in two days I can certainly say that this series was thoroughly engaging. This is the first time that I have "wolfed down" a series this fast which tells how much I enjoyed this.

YesAsia's Editorial Description gives a pretty good idea of what is going on but in my opinion it doesn't fully explain what kind of character types are involved here. Without going too much into the actual plot I would say that this is not a "Cinderella" story where there's a clear good vs. evil setting but rather a story about two totally different character types (the sisters) and how they slowly evolve through various challenges which life throws at them. And yes, the main attraction are the sisters whose characters show multiple dimensions and let us be honest, the two female main leads are very nice to watch and they do know how to act. The two female main leads portray a huge range of feelings which will definitely connect to the audience. By the end of the series one cannot help feeling a deep sense of sympathy for both sisters and let us be frank, the ending is perfect. You will shed some happy tears there.

Technically this release is near perfect. Picture format is anamorphic widescreen and picture quality is OK. Same can be said about the audio too (2.0) although it wouldn't hurt to have a 5.1 audio track but then again this is a production issue. English subtitles were OK for most the time but some smaller stuff (mostly titles) wasn't subtitled. Don't take this the wrong way, the actual dialog and most of the the stuff which had Korean writing was subtitled but some (not a lot) went missing. A "heads up" here, nowdays more and more people outside Korea are watching these nowdays so special attention should paid to the non-Korean language understanding side of the world.

Overall verdict ? Wonderful series with deep characters and good female lead actors. In my opinion no. 1 Korean drama series at the moment.
