Art photographer Kristal had always lived in a mansion and indulged in her photography as a hobby since she has a trust fund that can easy support her frugal living. But her father passed away, and her step-mother abruptly informed her that the mansion is being repossessed, and someone stole her trust fund. She's off chasing another man to support her lifestyle, sayonara! Kristal is reduced to couch surf at her best friend's place (and babysit if available) and waitressing at a high-end restaurant, but she won't take handouts... // Hunter rose from humble beginnings to a tech billionaire and he never forgot Kristal, the rich but kind not spoiled girl from school When he suddenly found Kristal as his waitress, he was stunned. But his attempt to help her was rebuffed until he came up with a white lie: he needs a roommate at the rented mansion to help pitch a TV show with his six housemates, often jokingly called together, the seven dwarves, and Kristal can be their Snow White. Hunter will fund the TV show himself if he can just get Kristal close to him... even if this Snow White never finds her prince in him...
This is a modern retelling of a classic fairy tale, and the setup isn't too bad. The tension however, doesn't ratchet up quite right, as the darkest hour pretty much had to be her moving out to pursue her own career and place to live, probably far away. And the ending was a far-too-convenient overheard confession by the two people that betrayed Kristal. 3.5/5
