Plot

Cíntia Dorella (Maisa Silva) was a romantic 17-year-old girl who lived with her parents in a big and beautiful home. She sees her world crumble when she realizes that her father Cesar (Marcelo Valle) was cheating on her mother Ana (Miriam Freeland) with her evil stepmother Patricia (Fernanda Paes Leme) by kissing her behind a closed curtain (which her daughter, Graziele (Leticia Pedro) opened) during her parents' anniversary party. Ultimately ending the parents marriage and the father marries Patricia. Cintia gains 2 new stepsisters.

After this event, Cintia moves in with her aunt Helena (Elisa Pinheiro) and her boyfriend Rafael (Sérgio Malheiros), who taught Cintia lessons on how to be a DJ. Since Cintia wanted to be a professional DJ when she grows up, she always begged Rafael to get her to play at parties. Rafael always fulfilled her requests.

The first time she was DJ-ing was at a senior pool party, and an elder lady asked her to turn the volume down. Cintia refused, because she said if she turns down the music, then no one will be able to hear it. This made the lady frustrated, which made her ask Cintia's name so she can complain to the host. Cintia gave her her name, but instead of hearing Cintia Dorella, the lady thought she said "Cinderella" and then left her alone.

Freddy, a boy who's reputation as a love song singer, is admired and is invited to attend Cintia's step sisters birthday party.

Anyway, Rafael let her cover as a DJ for him. The event was her twin stepsisters birthday party. Freddy comes up and believes he is in love with her. When he asks for her name she says "I am Cinderella, DJ Cinderella." she "disappears" when called up by Freddy, afraid of the disapproval of her fathers. Freddy keeps trying to find the identity but fails.

Cíntia ends up falling in love with Freddy but has to deal with her , Graziele (Leticia Pedro) and Gisele. (Kíria Malheiros), daughters of her stepmother and who also want the boy. In the end, they weren't even that bad as one of them helps prove how evil Partricia is. As very cliche ends, Freddy finds out about Cintia and end up dating. Both of them work together in their music and become number 1 in the music industry. Partricia goes back to live with her mom, who is not as rich and way more strict.

Critical reception

Julia Sabbaga, reviewing for Omelete, published a positive review saying that "Cinderella's great triumph" is a version meaning of "such an old plot," casting a spice of Cinderella in a romantic comedy without any outdated meaning in no time."[4]

Sérgio Rizzo, writing for O Globo was the least complimentary in his comment: "The realism of the original plot, with a language that can easily be localized, gives way to a caricature custody of those who have 'new money'."[5]
