Stolen Midnight Bride

About this drama

The source for this entry is a one-sentence logline of 232 characters. What the source states: a maid, covered in stardust all over, knelt beneath the midnight ballroom in Area 51, but the alien prince's crystal starshoes ignored the girl wearing them and turned towards the person whose existence everyone was trying to erase. The line runs on a single object doing the choosing: the starshoes are worn by the maid and honor someone else, so the Cinderella template is inverted at the shoe itself, the artifact refusing its wearer in front of a court that erased the other person. Area 51 is the only named address, and it relocates the fairy tale onto a military base, with the alien prince supplying the non-human crown and the midnight ballroom supplying the curfew the clock enforces. The cast is three unnamed roles, the maid, the prince, and the erased one, joined by the stardust as the only material given, and the record stops at the shoes' turn, with no ending stated. The run is seventy-nine episodes, standing alone at that length between the eighty-episode mode and the sixty-nine-episode entry, and the registry column lists fifteen against the API's seventy-nine, part of this batch's systematic split between free counts and full counts, disclosed with the API figure used here. The counter reads 365 views, seventeenth of twenty, in the lower half, and the platform marks the series completed.
