Story
The series is a comedic, award-winning reimagining of the Cinderella fairy tale. Miya is the illegitimate child of a prominent family who, after her mother’s death, is taken in by her father’s household. Bracing herself for a life of misery under a wicked stepmother and cruel stepsisters, she is completely caught off guard when the women turn out to be genuinely kind and warm-hearted — a heartfelt comedy full of surprises.
