THE SHORT VERDICT:
For me personally, Cinderella at 2 AM is a show with a fun concept, that successfully plays with some tropes, to deliver a sense of freshness in the watch experience.
Unfortunately, to my eyes, this show is better in concept than execution, in just about every area. 😅 Generally speaking, I found the writing, acting and overall delivery to be on the ungainly side of things.
In terms of silver linings, I count the secondary OTP as a big, fun plus 🤩, and I also found the music pleasant enough to smooth over a number of rough edges.
In addition, I’d also say that this show does manage to serve up a decent amount of heart, despite its shortcomings.
Not a must-see by any means, but might be worth a whirl, given the right mood.
