“Cinderella at 2 AM” Story
“Cinderella at 2 AM” is a romantic comedy drama that tells the story of two people with contrasting views on love. Ha Yoon-seo (played by Shin Hyun Been) is a firm realist who believes there’s no fairy tale ending in real life. On the other hand, Seo Joo-won (played by Moon Sang-min) is a hopeless romantic who believes love conquers all.
Ha Yoon Seo, a team leader at a large corporation, is everything one could ask for in a partner: attractive, kind, and well-respected. But her past is marked by hardship. Fleeing domestic violence, she left her family with her younger brother in tow. These experiences have steeled her into a confident and practical woman.
Yoon Seo’s world is turned upside down when she discovers her boyfriend, Seo Joo Won, is the son of the chaebol family that owns her company. To her further astonishment, Joo Won’s mother contacts Yoon Seo, demanding she end the relationship in exchange for a hefty sum.
Yoon Seo, a firm believer that fairytales are just that – fairytales – decides to take the money and sever ties with Joo Won. However, Joo Won, a man who prioritizes love above all else, refuses to give up. He fights tirelessly to win Yoon Seo back, determined to prove that their love can overcome societal pressures and his family’s disapproval.
