Japanese Drama 'Black Cinderella' gives a new twist to the school romance dramas.

The story centers around the main character and her struggles to keep her smile when everything is falling down around her. Her determination and her journey to find herself and love herself were pretty much the highlights of the drama. Especially since the female lead was a well-constructed character. The love triangle was a nice touch too, cute and sweet. However, the main romance was predictable, adorable though. The male lead was not handled with that much care, however. The wicked second lead was a generic character who had a rushed character development and showed only specs of what was going on in her life.

Finally, the performances were pretty good by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, 7 out of 10.
