Pre-produced drama series "Cinderella And Four Knights" will finally hit the small screen on Friday in more than 63 countries. The tvN drama will feature actress Park So Dam and actors Ahn Jae Hyun, Jung Il Woo, Choi Min and Lee Jung Shin.

According to Korea Joongang Daily, the 16 episodes of "Cinderella And Four Knights" were filmed from January to May. Producer Kwon Hyuk Chan made clear the upcoming tvN series is different from other dramas based on the best-selling children's novel.

"As the title implies, it's about how young people live, struggle and overcome problems together. However, I tried to think out of the box and gave a twist to the series that's beyond imagination," Kwon said in a press conference.

On the other hand, "Cinderella And Four Knights" stars Park and Jung expressed how they feel about the project, thus, the actors also hope they have delivered their respective roles convincingly.

Meanwhile, Ahn linked the tvN drama series to "Boy Over Flowers," which featured his wife Ku Hye Sun. The actor revealed he often consults his wife about his character on "Cinderella And Four Knights," Soompi reported. "It feels a little bit like "Boys Over Flowers." The relationships between the characters are similar," Ahn said.

The upcoming drama series is based on the novel "Cinderellawa Nemyungui Kisa" written by Baek Myo. "Cinderella And Four Knights" will also feature stars like Son Na Eun, Kim Yong Gun, Kim Hye Ri, Seo Hyun Chul and Choi Eun Kyeong.

"Cinderella And Four Knights" is the first-ever tvN drama series to air every Fridays and Saturdays at 11:00 p.m.
