Black Cinderella is a coming of age drama that follows Kamiya Manaha, a highly pessimistic 17 year-old high school student as she deals with youth, friendship, love, and constant self-doubt.
Kamiya Manaha may seem like the usual awkward heroine at first, but once her ordeal begins, you'll see that she's not a stock character. She's a kindhearted girl who often feels insecure and discouraged but always manages to persevere. Also, her relationship with her family is just so heartwarming to watch and I believe we could use more supportive parents in dramas. Meanwhile the will-they-won't-they romance is actually really cute and refreshing as both love interests are sincere and unselfish. I personally think that whom she chooses is exactly the type of person she needs by her side as she slowly rebuilds her self-confidence.
I honestly, truly, didn't expect the show to be this inspirational and uplifting. Young or adult I thought we could all get a lesson or two from it. Plus it's got a vivid cinematography and beautiful soundtrack, just the stuff I always love to see in films and shows that I watch.
8/10.
