A new drama coming out in May has a crazy premise: the male lead is an eighth-generation chaebol who always carries an umbrella, even indoors.







The Teaser for the Drama


With Pyo Ye-jin taking on her first lead role in a romantic comedy and Lee Jun-young playing a character who is neither a villain nor a murderer,
the TVING original drama "I Openly Dream of Cinderella" is set to premiere.
The story is about a woman for whom Cinderella has become a dream due to a harsh reality and a prince on a white horse who doesn't believe in love. The drama portrays the hybrid romantic comedy of these two characters who go through ups and downs, ultimately leading to the woman growing into a figure of strength. It's a mature love story where the woman becomes her own "prince on a white horse."
The drama is slated for release in May, so please give it lots of interest and love.

πŸ“’ While we're discussing it, I should mention that besides a few still images, the drama's setup hasn't been fully revealed yet, so please refrain from jumping to conclusions in the comments. πŸ™
(For those interested in the previous works of the actors, here are some additional details)

Lee Jun-young: "Avengers Social Club," "Love and Leashes," "May I Help You," "Mask Girl," "Brave Citizen"

Pyo Ye-jin: "Fight for My Way," "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim," "VIP," "Taxi Driver," "The Moon that Rises in the Day"


THE COMMENTS

  1. They say you can't progress to the third generation, but the eighth generation is refined. I'm curious about the drama aside from this point.
  2. What kind of historical era are we discussing for the eighth generation?
  3. Yejin Pyo 🩷
  4. I need to check it out, haha.
  5. Isn't the current generation the fourth or fifth generation?
  6. I’m looking forward to the romantic comedy. The lead actors have great chemistry.
  7. This is going to be fun!
  8. During the Japanese colonial era, you couldn’t become a chaebol unless you were pro-Japanese, so it usually ended up with the third or fourth generation chaebols. I wonder if there's an explanation for this, haha.
  9. This is my first time hearing about an eighth generation chaebol.
  10. Eighth generation chaebol, hahaha.
  11. Lee Jun-young, I love you!!!!!!!
  12. Is it possible to have an eighth generation chaebol in this context? LOL.
  13. Was your ancestor an interpreter?
  14. How high can an eighth generation chaebol go?
  15. Carrying around an umbrella is an interesting concept, haha. I really like Lee Jun-young’s romantic comedy.
  16. Given that it's an eighth generation chaebol, it makes you think of pro-Japanese groups, haha.
  17. If you're going up to the eighth generation, that's way beyond pro-Japanese territory.
  18. An eighth generation chaebol, haha. This should be fun.
  19. Pro-Japanese people, haha, everyone seems to think the same, haha.
  20. Lee Jun-young works really hard, haha. His works keep coming out.
  21. I'm sure Namjoo's family isn't pro-Japanese.
  22. Everyone thinks the same, haha. If you're an eighth generation chaebol, does that mean you come from a pro-Japanese family? I thought that, lol.
  23. It could be a family where people tend not to live long.
  24. It could be a goblin or Do Min-jun, haha.
  25. If you count 30 years back, you've been wealthy since 240 years ago.
  26. Pyo Ye-jin's acting was so bad it was painful to watch her as a model citizen.
  27. An eighth generation chaebol setup feels a bit strange. I'm curious about Lee Jun-young, who isn’t playing a villain.
  28. This setup is interesting.
  29. If you're an eighth generation chaebol, people might assume you come from a pro-Japanese family. Wouldn't that make you look like a villain by default?
  30. No, it's a romantic comedy, so it can't have a pro-Japanese storyline. Maybe he went abroad and supported the independence movement, or something similar. You'd have to watch the drama to find out.
  31. If he's an 8th generation chaebol, am I the only one thinking about pro-Japanese connections? Shouldn't it align with Korean history? lol
  32. Even if they weren't pro-Japanese, some families were wealthy for generations since the Joseon Dynasty. They might not have reached the chaebol level, but they were still quite wealthy.
  33. I have to watch it, haha.
  34. Even if they weren't pro-Japanese, there were families that had been rich for generations. Though, they were very rare.
  35. Who is the female lead? I haven't seen her before, but she's very charming.
  36. Haha, I'm not the only one who thought he might be pro-Japanese when he was 8 years old. The premise is amusing.
  37. It's impressive that they kept their wealth without sacrificing anything, lol.
  38. I think Lee Jun-young will do well, haha.
  39. If you're an 8th generation chaebol, thoughts about the pro-Japanese faction come to mind... And given our country's complete collapse in 1950, it’s hard to imagine an esteemed family that survived all that.
  40. Isn’t this inspired by the richest family in Gyeongju, haha?
  41. Pro-Japanese..?
  42. What kind of romantic comedy involves a pro-Japanese setting?... The drama setup seems lighthearted.
  43. Eight years old? Did the writer create this without much research? Haha.
  44. Why is the male lead carrying an umbrella? It’s hilarious.
  45. When I saw "8th generation," I immediately thought it was pro-Japanese. Seems like we're all thinking the same thing, haha.
  46. Lee Jun-young is back at it again, working really hard, haha. But if you’re from an 8th generation chaebol, did your ancestors live abroad during the Japanese colonial period? Hahaha.
  47. Isn’t this a fantasy set in 2214 rather than in the present day? Haha.
  48. It might just be a setup intended to get a laugh (is the 3rd generation of chaebols boring? How about 8 years old!!), but it gets too immersive.
  49. I’m looking forward to Lee Jun-young's romantic comedy because he seems to be well-liked.
  50. Is this "Another Korea" in a fantasy world? Haha.
  51. It's like a mix of "Saturday Night Live" and romantic comedies that women enjoy. Ahaha.
  52. When I heard "8th generation chaebol," I also thought about a pro-Japanese background... haha.
  53. You have to trust Lee Jun-young as an actor.
  54. If you're an 8th generation chaebol, does that mean you're from a family with short lifespans?
  55. When I heard "8th generation chaebol," I thought it might be a fantasy or even something set in the future, haha.
  56. Maybe the drama's setup involves a conglomerate who went abroad to do business during the Japanese colonial period and raised funds for independence. I'm curious to find out.
  57. Logically, if it were a pro-Japanese drama, people wouldn't be watching. This is probably just a humorous setup in a drama...;
  58. Did he live a short life and become an 8th generation chaebol?
  59. Maybe it's an overseas company...
  60. This is a romantic comedy, so it’s unlikely to be about pro-Japanese themes...lol?
  61. Rather than being pro-Japanese, the fact that inherited wealth has continued through 8 generations stirs up revolutionary ideas for the proletariat class.
  62. Lee Jun-young is trying out different roles. It's commendable.
  63. The 8th generation of MZ Chaebols seems to suggest this, but it might not be about the future—it could be something they wrote without much thought. But given historical contexts, it might come across as careless or requiring forceful smiles.
  64. No, the trend now is for people to say they won't watch because of pro-Japanese themes, but this is just a setup in a drama... Why read too much into it?
  65. This feels like a random community comments. Seriously.
  66. It's a drama that hasn’t even aired yet, but people are making all sorts of comments... Just think about things before reacting. Why would pro-Japanese characters be in this drama?
  67. Isn’t it a comedy? Some comments seem overly serious, lol.
  68. Korean dramas are getting more and more childish. Why are they so obsessed with chaebols? There aren't many dramas that don't involve chaebols; it's like China is obsessed with money.
  69. Oh, the male lead's acting was good. Finally, a protagonist who isn't a villain.
  70. It's adorable, lol.
  71. I wonder if there will be pro-Japanese characters in the romantic comedy, lol.
  72. Looking at the comments, yes, this is a community, lol. Pyo Ye-jin is adorable.
  73. Maybe it's just a setup for laughs? It might be a scenario that didn't exist during the Japanese colonial period.
  74. I like Pyo Ye-jin!!!
  75. There are various reasons for ruining a story. A distant pro-Japanese connection in a romantic comedy is one of them...
  76. I have faith in Lee Jun-young.
  77. It's going to be fun.
  78. Looks fun, haha.
  79. Lee Jun-young is neither a villain nor a murderer, hahaha.
  80. Haha, it's just a drama setup, but I never thought there would be a pro-Japanese connection in the story.
  81. This is the actor I always see as a villain! He looks different in this role, hahahahaha.
  82. Pyo Ye-jin, finally!!!!!!!!!!!
  83. This is Junyoung. The 8th generation chaebol is so interesting, haha.
  84. In "Heirs," Yurachel got criticized by some in the community for mentioning her family's generations of wealth, from her grandfather to her great-grandfather, hahahaha. If you're an 8th generation chaebol, you must be pro-Japanese, right?
  85. If you're an 8th generation chaebol, you've probably been rich since the Joseon Dynasty, right? LOL
  86. I'm tired of obvious plots like these...
  87. γ……γ…‚It’s absurd to think of someone as a pro-Japanese 8th generation chaebol. It's ridiculous to even consider it.
  88. If you're 8 years old, shouldn’t your ancestors have been pro-Japanese during the Joseon Dynasty? lol
  89. If you're an 8th generation chaebol, aren't you a descendant of a pro-Japanese group? Why is this comment so silly? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. This is a reaction you'd expect in our country, haha.
  90. Pyo Ye-jin's role, with Joo-yeon walking down the street, is fantastic.
  91. Are you not from the 4th or 5th generation of chaebols, but the 8th? Hahahahaha. An 8th generation chaebol who never even imagined it, hahaha.
  92. Pyo Ye-jin is great.
  93. I like Lee Jun-young.
  94. The LG family is also very wealthy, but they are not pro-Japanese?
  95. The reaction was, “Why did it end up like this?” When you become an 8th generation chaebol, it’s worth considering, but it’s like an unexpected outcome. γ…œγ…‹γ…‹γ…‹γ…‹γ…‹
  96. Junyoung is finally not playing a villain!!!
  97. I really like Junyoung.
  98. Well, it could be a world setting that our country didn't experience during the Japanese colonial period.
  99. No, it's not reality; it's a drama, and there's even a pro-Japanese faction... I’m not interested in this drama, but it seems a bit wild.
  100. It must be a virtual setting.
