Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a good day/night! Now if your a person who wants to watch this but not so sure, then you came to the right place!
First off, this drama is one of my top favorites! In my opinion, the storyline was perfectly well made, I know a lot of people have gotten confused about it, which is normal. This is a type of drama where there is a lot of drama, action, excitement and some love. If you read romance books then this is perfect for you. As a writer myself, I found this just perfect, amazing! I fell in love with this drama and because summer is coming so soon; I plan to rewatch this drama all over again which I do rarely. When people recently ask me a good show the first thing that put up in my head is this one! This drama has this some kind of chemistry and attraction to it that just gets you hooked really. Now as for the music, I think they could have done it little better. I am a big fan when it comes to Kdrama music, my ears are always open when it comes to there music. I just love it when they put good music with it, it makes everything way better in my opinion. Well I am trying to keep this short so, an overall view I give it a 10!

So the drama ended today and I finished watching it. I am so disappointed in the drama, the plot is whack and frustrating.

Story/Plot: I thought the story was supposed to be based on ''Cruel Intention'' I couldn't find anything alike in this drama. The storyline is so frustrating and annoying plus disappointing at the same time. The Writer wrote the script badly I can't even deal with it. I finished the because of Kim Min Jae and Moon Ga Young. Especially when the writer decided to end the drama with a happy ending felt rushed to me and doesn't make any sense.

Acting/Casting: The greatest mistake with this drama is casting an idol to play the role of Eun Tae Hee - (Park So Young9(Joy) really made the drama more frustrating. Her acting really made me puke, I had to skip most unnecessary scenes.WOO DO HWAN really nailed his role as Kwon Shi Won but the script couldn't showcase more of his acting and his costar really made is acting look inexperienced. MOON GA YOUNG did so well with portraying her character as Choi Soo Ji she acted the role so well you hated her for acting out her role. She really made the drama nicer with her body language and her eyes. Her eyes spoke millions of words. KIM MIN JAE nailed his role perfectly as Se Joo, he showcases himself as a good actor with this role. MOON GA YOUNG & KIM MIN JAE nailed their respective roles perfectly

Music: The music seems quite good but not hooking. I could hardly remember the songs I heard from the drama

Rewatch Value: I'm definitely not going to rewatch this drama expect the first 4 episodes. I cant go through the frustration once more.

Overall: I will say this drama really lacks in different aspect especially the scripts and Joy's acting. The drama is so boring and annoying. I know I am not the only one with the same thought

XIEXIE

THERE ARE SOME DRAMAS THAT NO MATTER HOW LONG THEY'RE YOU NEVER WANT THEM TO BE ENDING AND THIS WAS ONE FOR ME.

Maybe i'm too late to write a review but i don't get why is this drama getting such a low rating and is getting bashed,i seriously enjoyed every bit of this drama the plot and the chemistry between the leads everything was perfect in my opinion,in fact the messiness of the relationships made the story more exciting and unique.even though joy's acting was just OK but it was definitely bearable.i didn't skip even a second of this drama in fact took my time to watch it rather then rushing it and attacking the episodes all at once.I definitely enjoyed every bit of this drama and was one of the best Korean drama,well everyone have their own perspective towards things,but seriously if i get some free time in future i might re-watch it.

This drama was absolutely one of the most original and enjoyable that i have ever watched.
The story was interesting and it makes you want to argue about those social problems that appears in the drama.
The actors were all great, specially Joy, all the crying scenes seemed so real and touching.
The first episode was a little strange, i couldn't understand the situations but in two episodes i got attracted by this drama.
I wish that lee minjae and moon ga young will do another drama together, they were really awsome .
The most beautiful thing about this drama is that the places were all so beautiful and full of the newest korean ithems. I really enjoyed it

I've just finished watching this drama and I just have to say, it just isn't as good as I thought it would be.

The story was very confusing to me and there were many unnecessary plots and moments that didn't help to enhance the drama at all. Sometimes I felt like the drama forgot about them when I thought that maybe something should be done to resolve the plots but it just left plot holes. The drama to me, felt very rushed especially the romance between the two main characters.

Honestly, I could not acknowledge any chemistry going on between the characters and it just seemed forced to me. If the drama had stretched out the time before the two characters actually do love each other to leave space for the development of their romance (rather than jumping from point A to Z), the drama could have been better. Although there was a lot that goes on between the couples in terms of conflicts, it was hard for me to have any sympathy for them because of the lack of screen time for the development of their love. The romance was just too rushed !

As for the characters in general, I didn't find any that I liked. In fact, I got annoyed with most of the characters in that drama. I didn't mind it at first since I figured that as the drama progresses, there would be some sort of development that would occur for these characters to improve themselves but no, they still stayed the same as episode 1 until the very last episode when all of a sudden, they are 'slightly' better. But it didn't give me closure at all.

I think this drama had a lot of potential but there was just so much confusion and disinterests in these characters. Maybe it is because after watching so many dramas, I've become picky, but I wouldn't watch this again.

Tempted's (The Great Seducer) only temptation is the cast roster, and they should be ashamed.

Tempted (The Great Seducer) has no intention of dealing with anything of substance from the 1782 French novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" though it based on this very writing. All it does is take the simple base concept of the novel, male and female wealthy, beautiful, young, bored 20 somethings who want to control each other as much as screw each other decide to play a game to take down a "good" girl. Mostly everything else contained in the novel is left to die and instead we get all the tropes and story contrivances that plague kdramas. The story's kdramification is damning of the genre as a whole. Instead of giving the audience something new, or being faithful to a great work, or letting the audience decide if they like a different type of story, it seems the writers job was to specifically fit the work into the nice neat little box of kdramas and thus rape the soul of the original material while creating something broken, simplistic, repetitive, and basic. Never has the 1999 Teen film adaption of the work "Cruel Intentions" shined so brightly in comparison.

Early on, the series begins to lay groundwork for a backstory that forgives or excuses the horrible nature of our leads. Now we have comatose and dead mothers with abusive cold hearted fathers that disown and degrade their sons. For our female lead, she is psychologically unstable and suicidal with a father that brought shame upon her family and a mother who is driven by lust to be part of the wealthy elite. These parental figures end up getting entire plot lines, back stories, and central roles to the story. They are sleeping with each other, cheating on each other, backstabbing each other, and doing illegal deeds for success. So our three main protagonists are caught up in the horrors of their families. Brought up with poor role models. And lacked the love of households with two parents. Thus anything they do should be forgiven, it is not their fault. Hello Kdrama time warped mentality and story lines.

Our main protagonist Kwon Shi Hyun played by Woo Do Hwan is an echo of Vicomte de Valmont from the novel and merely a shadow of the 1999 Cruel Intention's Sebastien. Valmont, and to a lesser extend the films Sebastien, really are horrible human beings when you meet them. They use their looks, money, and status for everything. They seduce, are extremely sexual in nature, and destroy women around them of all ages. Valmont is a rapist, and while Cruel Intentions keeps Sebastien from crossing that line into nonredeemable territory, he still does extremely questionable activities with his and other peoples bodies. Woo Do Hwan is as sexy as they come, but not once does he make the screen smolder like Ryan Phillipe. He isn't allowed.

Shi Hyun is a puppy who seduces with only stares and tugging on specific pieces of clothing. Never once does he use his body, or anyone else's, for anything and in fact it becomes a running gag that our female lead wants to corrupt him to which he calls her an animal. As the series even tries to recreate some of the now iconic scenes from the 1999 film, like the pool scene where Ryan Phillipe is skinny dipping using his abs to every advantage and ultimately revealing his nether regions to our female lead causing her to falter in front of him and blush. Here that same scene is a wimpy non-effective version. Still in the swimming pool, and trying to have the same effect, but its just lustful looks at our female lead with Shi Hyuyn fully clothed and wet. It is like eating soggy noodles. Boring as it comes and nothing of the flare brought by the novel or the film. Do Hwan, I suppose, does what he can here, but everything comes off blase. Hello Kdrama purification.

Woo Do Hwan has shown he can act, and when he is forced to be emotional towards the end you can see his craft on display. However, at possibly the fault of the director, the lackluster female lead, or just how the story is told, Do Hwan even stumbles at times here. Scenes go awkward. At times he looks wooden and uncomfortable. There is even a lack of genuineness in his performance. In all, while he shows he has capabilities, this role and series is a very strong mark against him and tarnished my respect for him a bit. That he read this script and thought it a project he wanted to be a part saddens me. Maybe he was just unaware of what work this was based, but it seems he didn't take the time to research it either.

As mentioned, our female lead doesn't help matters. Eun Tae Hee is played by Joy and I did not find out she was a Kpop star until I was finished watching. So my dislike for her in this role has nothing to do with her icon status. Madame de Tourvel is the original character she is based, and that character is a MARRIED woman that is religious, pious, kind, forgiving, loyal, beloved and pure. As she gets lured into Valmont's game she fights against it. She holds on to her laurels and keeps him at bay forcing him to work harder for her than any woman previous and thus causing him to actually get to know her and in the process fall in love. Cruel Intentions updates this character as in a relationship, still part of the Christian league, but now world wise and strong willed who calls Sebastien on his games and manipulation and gives him back as much attitude as he serves. Still she holds him off for the bulk of the films run.

But Tae Hee is in love with Shi Hyun by the 3rd episode. She does not have a single character trait from the previous incarnations except that she is forgiving. She claims she doesn't believe in love once in the entire series run instead of being married or in a relationship or religious or steadfastly moral. Then ten minutes later, after spending the day with a man she promised to not even have contact with, goes weak at the knees while street lights illuminate when he asks if she has feelings for him. It is utterly ridiculous and a full assassination of the intended point of this character existing in the story. Again hello kdramaficiation where the female lead falls for the asshole guy just because, with no reason, and with neck breaking speed. He almost hit her with his car, blamed her for it, and then leaves her in the street. He made out with her friends mother at a club. He has said and done some very questionable things straight to her face and she has watched him be cruel to others. But, there she is, not believing in love, but almost fainting in his presence under moonlight by only the 3rd episode. Its infuriating to behold.

It doesn't help that Joy plays the character very one note keeping the audience at a distance and not allowing us to really feel or see this from her side. When she gets angry she pouts with the same expression every time no matter the severity. When she wants to be cute she wines and stomps her foot like a 3 year old. When she's happy she smiles. She is simply dry in her role. It isn't a failure, she isn't horrible, but she also isn't up to task either. There is something missing as if you are watching someone act as programmed without having the actual true spark of life. It becomes worse when she is in scenes with our three main leads (Do Hwan, Min Jae, and Ga Young) as they are much more effective as actors in their roles. Her performance just withers and pales in comparison.

Ga Young's portrayal of Soo Ji is nearly perfect for how it is written. Unfortunately how she is written is horrible. Marquise de Merteuil is the original and she is a force to be reckoned. She is ruthless in every aspect and is designed, in all honesty, as an unforgiving villain. Her strength comes from her beauty, how she controls men's sexuality, and commands the undying respect of the elite around her. Yes her and Valmont are male and female versions of each other. However, she still garners the respect of society. Valmont does not. He is allowed his conquests and horrific actions, and is still a part of this noble world because society is misogynistic and he is still a nobleman. However, Mereuil is revered by the people, respected, and followed while she does these incredibly horrific things in secret and thus controls everyone around her like stupid puppets. Sarah Michelle Gellar's performance in Cruel Intentions as Katherine Merteuil kept most of this character in-tact be it a teen version or not. Even those that didn't like the film, critics who panned it, couldn't help but call out the devilish delight that was Gellar's performance.

Ga Young seems up to the task, there are moments where she digs in deep and really allows the vileness to flow, but the story, just like Shi Hyung (Valmont), holds her back. She must be a victim. She must have redemption. She must be weak. Here men are in love with her and feel they need to protect her. There is always fear that she will succumb to her emotions. She is not revered by the world around her, but is always alone. The most poor of any of the wealthy elites, she is even looked down upon. Again, this is a "fuck you" to the novel as this is the exact opposite of who this character is. Hello kdrama making women weak, fragile, and in need of love and protection.

Then there is Kim Min Jae and his Lee Se Joo, a character that doesn't exist anywhere else. A character that could be argued is an amalgamation of multiple characters from both the 1999 film and even more from the novel. A character that is honestly the worst of the bunch. He just sits by watching everything delighting himself as a spectator and egging the others on in their dastardly ways. He is the one truly in love with Soo Ji thus relieving the story of the pressures of Shi Hyun having mixed emotions. He's the one that will do the final dastardly deed, because doing so by our other two would completely keep the audience from being able to forgive them. It also makes his character have purpose (because until then he has none). Finally it allows the story to introduce a triumvirate with a love triangle where there wasn't one. Hello Kdrama tropes!!!

Kim Min Jae is the strongest actor here, or at least, he falters the least at pulling off his character. However, that might be because his character is designed to fulfill the kdrama portions of the story that in any other adaptation doesn't exist. Thus, he is playing at material that is commonly handled in kdramas comparatively to the other characters. Se Joo is very problematic. He is constantly oscillating in having hurt feelings, wanting Soo Ji, being a friend to Shi Hyun, kind at times toTae Hee, being a decent guy, and being a monster. His personality and motivations switch as the plot needs them to picking up random plot points, that go even against themselves, in order to make the story work. Ultimately, he is not truly a character but a plot device designed as Gossip Girl's Chuck Bass. He gets a little bit of trauma, a little bit of backstory, a little bit of action, a little bit meat, and a little bit of kindness. His true purpose is to water down the heinousness and sexual tension of our Soo Ji and Shi Hyun main leads by carrying the burden of committing some of their crimes while creating a protective sheathe never leaving them alone in a room at night. He helps make them not so bad to set up the ultimate ending of the series.

Instead of Soo Ji and Shi Hyun betting over sex or a night between them, its marriage to keep their parents from getting together. Instead of them setting up the stupid simple side character Park Hye Jung (Cecile in both the novel and movie version) played by Oh Ha Nee they decide to befriend her. In the book and movie, Shi Hyun character should have taken Hye Jung's virginity while Soo Ji seduced her sweet tutor lover and demoralized her. But, that would have Shi Hyun character actually be sexual, and put him wanting to be with Soo Ji and willing to sexually destroy Hye Jung while also simultaneously trying to woo and seduce our female lead Tae Hee. That is just too much for this kdrama to handle or expect their audience to accept. It also would show how truly vile these characters are,and how unforgivable their deeds. So instead, here comes kdrama purification and simpleness to wipe all of this away and instead make them all friends.

This is also to ensure that Lee Ki Young (Played by Lee Jae Kyoon) becomes our true villain in the end instead of any of our core characters. He is not even met in the book but just talked about as the man that broke Marquise de Merteuil or Katherine (Soo Ji's) heart. He has left the world all the characters are in for somewhere far with his new lover. But here, in this drama, he becomes an entire character that rises to be the worst of worst. Again, his whole point a plot device to make our leads more empathetic. See they aren't so bad, they could be Ki Young. Hi plotted audience manipulation.

When the plot gets to its big moment, the moment that galvanizes the watcher and readers it comes off tame and lackluster. Shi Hyun's public humiliation of Tae Hee is a short simple affair. While Do Hwan's ability to set his eyes with hatred and assholery is nothing new, (His boringly long list of ultra masculine and evil characters should make this second nature at this point). His words, though hurtful and cruel, are very soft considering the impact the scene is supposed to have, and the damage he is meant to cause. Like Tae Hee, it didn't make me hate him. But that is the point here. The story never lets you hate him, the plot and writers do everything in their power to make sure he can come back from anything he does.

No, they are going to save the biggest reveal for the penultimate episode and have it delivered by a completely made up character Se Joo with no true stakes in the whole affair. It does make this character out to be the worst of them all. In the end its the kdrama made-up love triangle that hurts Tae Hee the most and finally gives the series anything that acts like a deathblow to her relationship with Shi Hyun. While the scene is very effective and cruel, Min Jae showing the monster that hides inside him, it sucks away what little is left in the meaning of the relationships as they were originally designed between anyone else.

All the kdrama created story lines take control near the end overpowering and subduing the original story and premise of the show. Tae Hee's hit and run mystery that may have been done by Shi Hyun's dead mother on the very night she dies because she is trying to get to Tae Hee's mother who was having an affair with Shi Hyun's father while Joo Si's mother coveted the spot as the powerful wife and revealed secrets that caused the whole tragic story to begin in the first place becomes the most important story line. Seriously, this is what breaks them apart. It is so absurd and soapish and completely void of any depth or artistic integrity it becomes one of the final stab wounds of this series having anything worthy of giving praise. At least it fits the atrocious violin music that swells as if the world has come-to-an-end at the break of every episode.

All the depth, deconstruction of religion, exploration of morals, thoughts on class status, decay of wealth, psychology of sex, examples of misogynistic double standards, and politics of genders are diluted and scrubbed clean from the story so we can watch yet another tale of conglomerate succession and backhanded corrupt government dealings. (Yes this kdrama trope is forced on us yet again here as well, for some reason.)

When we reach the end, every single character that mattered gets their forever after. In what is the ultimate moment of Kdramafication. This tragic tale of horrible people doing horrible things and destroying multiple peoples lives all get off clean and clear. Everyone, before the credits role, becomes deserving of love and forgiveness. Everyone will have a happy ending. Not even the 1999 teen focused Cruel Intentions was this dirty, the evil characters in the end paid the price there too, just as they all did in the novel. But not here, oh no sir, not here.

While Woo Do Hwan never speaks of that rape filled almost softcore porn film "Let's Go To Rose Motel" from 2013 when he was in his early 20s, and when he showed ample amount of skin himself, I would consider Tempted much more a blight on his resume. At least Rose Motel took chances, went against Kdramafication, and tried to be its own story. Yes it failed too and is very bad, but it was an honest failure and not a large production network-backed empty shell creation pretending to be a great romance. It didn't lure teenage girls into falling for toxic broken men and admire the abuse they deal out. It didn't exemplify passive wet blanket female archetypes that forgive every transgression done against them by the man they love and ultimately stand by his side forever. It didn't paint over grotesque characters with false happy endings.

People say grade it for what it is and not for what it is not. As a kdrama teen romance it is confusing, long winded, overly dramatic, cheap, trope filled affair with few redeeming qualities. It will NOT replace anyone's favorite drama or likely even make it to their top 10 lists. As an adaptation of a 200 year old western novel, it is an utter monstrosity and failure that should hardly be mentioned in the same breath let alone be allowed to claim it as source material. It is a completely different tale in every way that just plagiarizes the central crux of that novels plot.

3.0/F/ 1 1/2-Stars. A complete failure and a blight on everyone involved careers. If you don't want to read the novel or sit through a period piece, watch the teenagers of the 1999 Cruel Intentions instead. It just had its 20th anniversary and is still decades ahead of this Kdrama trope trapped horrendous mess, there are even gay characters there. The horror!

Tempted is about a young woman who thinks love is quite pitiful until she meets young man (who happened to be a playboy trying to seduce her due to a bet).

This drama was not the most terrible thing I have encountered. There are a few dramas I simply could not bear to finish watching, but Tempted/Great Seducer had this intangible element that kept me until the end.
Was I enraptured the whole way through? Ehhhh...for the most part.
Did I skip (a lot), though? Yup. Unfortunately.

Tempted does not have a great rewatch value but it did justice to the typical bad-boy-cliche. For a cliche, it worked okay? Sometimes we're looking for a cliche unrealistic storyline of a drama to satisfy our romantic notions. This definitely did the trick.
Could it have been done better? Absolutely. I do like a soapy drama but it was a tad on the messy side. Okay. A lot on the messy side.

In spite of all the flaws of the screenwriter, producer, etc etc , though, they at least selected a most excellent actor to portray the bad boy/seducer. AND DON'T CORRELATE bad acting to bad characters -- I have seen my fair share of awkward acting. All in all, I have always loved all of Joy's dramas (GO WATCH LIAR AND HIS LOVER IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY) & I LOOOOVED WOO DO HWAN. #newfan :)

In short, the bad reviews should not deter you from watching this. The cast evidently worked really hard & there WERE good elements (eg friendship, bromance, some relatively deep revelations). For me, the acting and production quality was enough to keep me til the end. Overall, I think it's def worth a (one-time) only go if you have time to spare and no dramas to watch at the moment.

More like The Great Disappointement

They really managed to make me go from having a great time to hating every second.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when the love interest suddenly goes full 180 the moment he gets with the girl and boi oh boi does the drama go there.
Not only was I infuriated by this character shift, but the fact that he blamed all his bad deeds on his childhood friends while he was out and about doing all sorts of ridiculous truly was mindboggeling.
I wish his childhood friends would have had more screen time instead of the main couple

Sexy characters? Nope. Weak characters? Yeah.

I'll be honest, I had high hopes. The story itself had potential. The synopsis sounded yummy, juicy, I was ready for the tea. The first episode showed me the chemistry I needed between the main leads. They're touchy, mean, beautiful, popular, alluring, but what I loved the most is that they were there for each other. I like it when the leads are a little bad but united, it only makes them more human.

But then, the main lead (Sihyun) met a girl (Taehee) and started to make dumb decisions I couldn't understand. Honestly, it's the first time I HATED the mc.

(From here on it's a little spoilery, so read at own risk).

He just betrayed the friends he knew for idk how long for a sweet looking crush of two days? I don't know, I don't think normal people would've discarded their best friends just like that. He did Sooji dirty, promising her a wedding and then cancelling without previous notice. She trusted him because his eyes said I love you, but he was just as fickle as a candle. I think Sihyun was a little bipolar actually. Sooji (and Sejoo) was my favourite character here, she was the most real one, handled like a human. She didn't just swallow the situation and move on, but made a move. Even though I found her a little weak in the end, the writer could've made all of them more wicked. Sejoo's move to avenge his love was also pretty, but it could've been more grand.

Another point I'd love to highlight is the lack of attention for other characters by the writers. It's like they focused on the main couple and didn't give any importance to the second leads. Their story was way more interesting if you ask me. Many things were super random in this drama.

The actors did an amazing job though, I really hated some and loved others, which means they played their characters very well. Only Joy was a little out of place tbh, she might've been trying, but she was such a controversial character, trying to act bad and all when the whole point of her personage was to be this weak soft girl that made events biggest playboy settle. This role wasn't an easy one, and I can't exactly say she nailed it.

The whole aesthetic created by the cover and the synopsis is kinda misleading, don't let that get to you. It's nothing sexy here, it quickly becomes one of those overly dramatic sappy (lame also?) drama's we've seen a lot. I'd watch it just to tick it off my list, nothing much more to say here...

what the fuck is going on

i was just watching to watch, i guess. not once did i know what was going on ?? all i knew was one guy slept with some older woman and that was scandalous, weird family dynamic (as in… abusive?), rich people, mental issues. why the hell does any of that matter?? are the main characters even friends?? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY MAIN CHARACTERS?? WHAT IS GOING ON.
overall, i think that… maybe this drama just wasnt my thing. maybe i just dived into a genre i dont like, which is fine. just… this gives me a headache lol

Hmmmmmmmm……this was….interesting. And I never want to hear a piano again.

Do the bad parts outweigh the good? Do the good parts outweigh the bad? I guess its what you choose to get out of it.

Personally, I was just in it for Eun Tae-hui and Si-hyeon. I'd seen so many youtube edits with them in it and wanted to see their drama. Welp, it was better before I did.

So yes, I was only in it for them. Everything else was just background noise and unfortunately, that meant it was 90% background noise. There was no real ‘plot’, it was just scandals and family drama (my pet peeves). It’s the kids’ parents and their affairs, with the rich kids fooling around as their way to blow off some steam. Wow it’s asian gossip girl. Basically, everybody is just messed up.

I didn’t like the trio either. Which unfortunately is what everything is centred around. Choi Su-ji is such a bitch really. I know she is multi-layered and whatnot, but I just disliked her so much. She gathers up everybody’s secrets around her, has fun setting up schemes that mess with people’s lives, and messes with both of the boys in their trio, leading both of them on. But then gets mad whenever any girl approaches either of them. That’s what really annoyed me, how it was her idea from the very beginning to set up Eun Tae-hui and Si-hyeon as an act of revenge (for what? being your ex’s first love???). Then she tried to break them up?!??? The whole set-up was pretty bizarre tbh. Su-ji betting [her and Si-hyeon’s] marriage on it? I’m sorry what? How does that make any sense……
…moving on

I also just didn’t like that Eun Tae-hui wasn’t the protagonist. I mean, she is the love interest and yet she feels like a side character. She was just Si-hyeon’s girlfriend. I'm pretty sure (after they started dating) that all of her scenes involved him in some way.

Sue me, I didn’t like Se-ju either. His character was just so bland, it was nothing but 100% based around Su-ji.

And as I said before, the rest of it is just family and company drama. ~sigh

If it weren’t for the fact I quite like Tae-hui and Si-hyeon’s relationship, I would have dropped this drama long lONG ago. Even though their relationship is faaaar from healthy, they are cute when they’re together.

Also, Tae-hui is girlfriend goals. She loves so hard and is so precious. She puts her entire heart into her relationship, communicates well and tries her best to stand by him (welp she deserves betterrrrr). But also, she fell for him quite quickly for someone who 'believes people that are swayed by love are pathetic' (as this drama description describes). Hmm.

And I can’t believe they broke up and got back together like 3, no actually FOUR (4!!!) times, that’s a new record omg.
Meanwhile Si-hyeon can’t seem to say something and mean it, and yes I’m talking about:

Si-hyeon: “I want the biggest punishment, don’t let her ever forgive me”
Also Si-hyeon: “oh wait not like that, that’s not what i meant :(“

One last thing, and I couldn't believe that this actually happened at one stage in this show. As one of the male leads is getting beaten up with a golf club and an asshole is filming it on his phone, they added PPL for the phone llololol, that is just this drama all over. Never miss an opportunity for PPL

Anyways, now I get why it has a lower rating than I expected. I’m just glad it’s over.

This drama was overall very mediocre— not exceptionally horrible, but certainly not good. I had a feeling that much of the issues were in the production of the drama itself because the acting was completely fine, wonderful even. The cast was lovely, but the writing was very poor even when based on an existing intriguing story. Also, the editing was shoddy, and the post-production seemed to cut the story in a way that really didn't take it anywhere interesting.
The good: the characters were wonderfully complex and the acting was good. The music was also okay.
The bad: MBC really doesn't know how to produce an interesting melodrama.
