According to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, the Cinderella at 2AM plot goes like this:
‘Cinderella at 2 AM’ is a romantic comedy drama that tells the story of a realist who believes there is no Cinderella in reality, and a romanticist who thinks conditions are not important when it comes to love.
Shin Hyun Bin plays Ha Yoon Seo, a woman who is armed with a sense of reality.
Yoon Seo is a character who breaks up with her younger boyfriend, Seo Joo Won (played by Moon Sang Min), after finding out that he is a third-generation chaebol and receiving an envelope of money that Joo Won’s mother gave her to break up with him.
Seo Joo Won, however, is a younger man with a pure heart. He believes conditions or differences do not matter if someone is in love, and so tries to change Yoon Seo’s mind even after she tells him they are done.
The upcoming K-drama will tell the romance between a successful career woman who is not good at dating and a conglomerate man who hides his identity as a regular employee at his mother’s company.
