Seduzida (2018)

It's very hard to rate this drama, I watched it a year or 2 ago and struggle to remember everything that happened but I remember it enough to leave an honest review. I watched this when it first aired as I had heard about it and had high hopes and expectations from the chosen cast.
After re-watching the first episode I remembered that it wasn't as bad as I recalled, I actually enjoyed it, the story let itself down in the middle I do wish it stayed as good as the first episode.
That being said I would suggest giving it a go because everyone will have a different experience with it.
,he acting from the main leads was not great and I feel as though that was down to the fact their characters were bland and had no real personality traits. (Joys character mostly). The story was also a letdown, and repetitive. despite these facts I finished the drama which I wouldn't normally do if it's not great meaning something drew me in.
I did enjoy parts of this drama especially the first few episodes and certain storylines within it.
This being said I wouldn't say it's a terrible drama it was definitely just a let down to a lot of our expectations.
I STILL LOVE THE CAST THOUGH AND THINK THEY ARE ALL GREAT ACTORS JUST NOT FOR THE CHARACTER ROLES THEY HAD WITH NOT VERY GOOD WRITING!!!

Story:
The huge plus for this drama! The storyline is something I really LOVE here. Cruel intentions, which has a similar story line, is one of my favorite movies up to date. So yes, of course I was thrilled to have the storyline made into a kdrama. And overall it kept it's promise and was just what I had expected. I liked the characters and hated and loved them in all the right places. The reason why I took off 0,5 points is because the on-and-off relationship betweem Tae Hee and Si Hyun got a little annoying in the end. Tae Hee's character was definitely my least favorite....They could have done better with her.

Acting/Cast:
It was my first time seeing Woo Do Hwan and Moon Ga Young in a drama, but I reaaaally liked them. They are great actors!
I had watched Kim Min Jae in some other dramas and productions before and was ecstatic to see him as one of the main roles. He did great! He was my favorite character throughout the drama.
Well, and then there's Joy....What can I say? I watched her before in The Liar and his Lover and din't like her at all. But as the story captured me and Min Jae was part of the main leads, I still decided to watch it. And I have to say her acting was quite alright. What I really didn't like was her role, Tae Hee was supposed to be a strong girl, but was a weak character in the end. So Joy did an alright job, although she will never be my favourite actress. Her facial expression is somehow always the same...

Music:
I believe it was okay, don't really remember though ;)

Rewatch Value:
Maybe some scenes, but not the hwole thing.

Overall:
Great story, alright actors, sometimes a little too much, but enjoyable and not too bad!

Fast-paced and easy watch

I feel like I'm missing something when I read the other reviews because I genuinely enjoyed this drama. It's a solid drama and maintains an appropriately fast pace.

Storyline: Perhaps this is why some folks end up disillusioned, and it could be that reading a handful of reviews before watching set the stage for my expectations. At no point did I find myself rooting for the ML and the second FL (the friend), which left me open to embracing the central relationship. In fact, the second FL's character acted out in such selfish ways right from the very beginning that it made sense to me that at some level that turned the ML off given his natural disposition was more sweet. The incorporation of the friend groups added depth to the plot, a detail I thoroughly appreciated. While there were moments where characters' choices gave me pause, viewing it through the lens of 20-year-olds often brought clarity – after all, sound judgment isn't a given with underdeveloped frontal cortices. One critical aspect left unaddressed was when Soo Ji's mother fell for Shi Hyun's father, a key piece to comprehend her willingness to endure such adversity.

Acting- The entire cast delivered commendable performances. Particularly, Soo Ji emerged as the most captivating character, benefiting from the strongest parts of the script.

Overall, the drama proved to be an enjoyable and easy viewing experience.

This drama is definitely not for everybody.

The storyline and the relationship between each character can easily confuse anyone, so if you're searching for some light, funny story, I don't recommend you watching it.

After watching the first 3-4 episodes (the drama consists of 32 episodes) I was reaaaally excited, I liked the whole plot, actors/actresses and dynamics between the 3 main characters. Then the storyline started to get confusing for me and I really had to focus so I would still know what was happening.
I stopped watching it for a while, but then I realized that I do want to know how it all ends. So I read a looot of reviews but most of them were negative ones. Obviously, if someone wants to watch/continue watching a drama, they rather read positive reviews, that's why I focused on only those. And I don't regret it! I continued watching it but due to personal matters I stopped again (I needed light and easy stories).
Weeks later here I am, I finished the drama and I'm writing a review. Let me tell you something: the last circa 10 episodes were so amazing that I finished it in less than a day.

What I want to demonstrate here is that watchng this drama requires attention, patience and the will that you want to see the outcome. I really liked this drama because its topic is not 'we're some rich kids", but more powerful and complex issues.

If you feel like you like drama and conspiracies then you definitely should watch it.
If you feel like you're alone and nobody understands you then you definitely should watch it.
If you think living as a rich person is childsplay then you definitely should watch it.
If you happy and you know it clap you-... Oh wait that's not it.

All in all, this drama is not for everybody.

P.s.: I started to watch this drama because of Kim Min Jae. I can firmly say it was/is worth it.

not bad, not great

well yeah, I will agree on one thing. Both Tae-Hee and Se-Joo were annoying and whining bitches. They were so full of themselves that I almost felt sorry for Si-Hyun and Soo-Ji. Soo-Ji was actually very practical and brave kind of girl. Yeah since she was the second lead so she gotta show some evil moves but even that wasn't as irritating as Tae-Hee's normal behaviour. I mean... Yeah Si-Hyun did hurt you and that was wrong, but you gotta get acts straight girl! Everytime Si-Hyun comes with an apologizing puppy face, you melt down. I mean.... C'mon!!!! Have a personality of your own dude!!! But anyway, Soo-Ji carried the show way better than I had expected. Y'all can try it out once

don't press the play button

If nobody liked this show, then why did it get this rating? :) I understand that some users are trying to convince us that it’s good, but it’s going to be really hard to persuade those who have actually watched it. The show centers around a love story with a revenge plot, and considering how often these themes are explored in K-dramas, it definitely lacks originality. Every scene is quite predictable and simple. Up until the 10th episode, almost nothing happened; the pacing was really slow, which made me lose interest while watching.

There were way too many unnecessary characters, and I couldn't see how they contributed to the story at all. For those looking for depth in emotions, you're going to find a pretty shallow love story waiting for you. Does anyone understand why and when Kwon Shi fell in love with Eun Tae?

abandoned and humiliated her in front of others; despite this, she was too foolish to blame herself and couldn’t grasp the situation. Moreover, even though this was one of the key scenes of the series, it failed to evoke any excitement.

I also don’t understand the praises for their friendship. They are just three people manipulating each other. They claim to be the most important people in each other’s lives, yet they hide so much from one another and are not honest with each other. Moreover, they are not good people. No, I can’t justify their behavior by blaming it on their families or traumas. They have no valid reasons for what they do; they hurt each other and others as well. That’s enough for me not to like them.


Oh, I have no words for Eun Tae’s close friend. I hope no one has a friend like that. She was definitely the worst-written character in the series.


They are deceiving themselves because they are not honest about their feelings. Lee Se Joo, in my opinion, was the most caricatured character. Especially during the moments when he was being spoiled, I found his acting to be insincere. Yes, it was a mask he wore, but he still couldn’t make a leap in his performance. Despite everything, he was the only one who genuinely seemed to be interested in Soo Ji.

The family relationships among all the characters didn’t seem to capture anyone’s interest in the story. The love triangle between the parents and the coincidences that occurred were almost comically simplistic.

In the plot section, they jumped into the story suddenly, almost like it wasn't even the first episode of a new show. They introduced the topic in a way that was quite complicated, which was really confusing. Like everyone else, I wanted to give up watching after a few episodes, but let’s admit it, it was pretty hard to do that with Woo Do-Hwan in it. But even his presence wasn't enough to save the show. His character was also pretty shallow and underdeveloped.

Of course, I can’t skip over the directing skills and the poor screenplay. It was a complete lack of skill. The transitions between scenes, the superficial way emotions were portrayed, the dialogues—all of it felt very basic, almost like a cheap movie done carelessly.


I’ve always loved themes of love born from hatred. K-dramas have always been quite generous with this topic! :) But this show didn’t give us any warmth other than the warm feeling that Woo Do-Hwan’s sweet smile brings to our hearts. I haven’t seen our female character in any other drama; she might be a pretty girl on her own, but I couldn’t find anything about her that would make anyone fall in love with her. If I had to describe her, I wouldn’t even know what to say. Is she innocent? Beautiful? Does she have a good personality? No, I couldn’t find anything. She didn’t have any qualities to make a man who has loved someone else since childhood fall in love with her. Moreover, it wasn’t even love at first sight. That’s why even the romantic scenes weren’t impactful because none of us understood why he loved her.

Honestly, there’s no need for a long review of this show. Despite all this, I finished it because I felt uncomfortable leaving something I started unfinished. If your time is valuable and you have a million other things to do—or even if you have nothing else to do—please don’t waste your time watching this show.

If you want to know about it you have to watch the drama to know your views on it

Story plot is overally good. It started well but afterwards it was not so well plot. Ending has some small small thing that gave a closure but still expectation was not satisfied. I think some character need in some scene but they don't get that and some characters story was not completed. But if you watch it then only you know it. Ya it's sometimes depressing, frustrating can't get over it as a audience. We want both friendship and love can get equal screen. Both to be valued.

4 character are main but don't understand what actually they trying to do. They just involve and tangled but separated not having proper reason.

Eun ta hee - She has very powerful character which is strong when in times of her love but not a good character. I mean that she suffers a lot yet she doesn't understand others feeling. If you can forgive one you have to forgive all because they all are equally responsible. She doesn't listen any other when times of her love only believe in him. Then why can't she understand friendship. I don't want to write much if I started then I don't know I can't control myself to write but it may be not good to other viewers they might be get spoiler. You have to see to understand it.

Kwon si hyun - He has good character development from starting to end. But when he going towards further he forgets his base. I know you find better in fact best according to you i don't deny it but how could you left them alone who were with you from starting. What they do is wrong but you are also equally responsible then how could you forget all. You can keep love and friendship both. Actually you don't deserve their friendship. Sorry if I am rude I don't want to rude but I also suffer with the character don't know how but understand them so well. I also understand your situation but you have a chance to keep three most favourite people in your life but you didn't all the thing you said was just in vain. You don't deserve to be their friend. You have to trust them they understand you if you have them time and just talk clearly but no you just left them.

Choi soo ji - she did wrong thing but everyone knows why she did that. How she feels inside. Suddenly one precious thing will lost. Her friends know her well but who we think, she think was the one who will be always with her he slowly slowly disappeared from his life with not a valid logical reason. If all of them started something then why only one to be suffer. I literally felt so sad for her. You deserve much more good thing only believe in your self. You are so lucky that you have someone with you like se joo who is just their without any relationship just be there everytime you need someone. Only he is the best thing of your life. Be strong my girl. They don't deserve you. You and se joo have to be stay forever.

Se joo - only good and best character in the series. He tried everything to keep everyone happy. He tried keeping both friendship and love. Such a good person, good friend, good boyfriend and everything is good. He just want that all of his friends to be happy in their personal life but also keep their friendship. Till last he is the only one tried so hard. But everything has a limit till when he will be tried. Then one day he will stop. But at least not a bad closure he get just small tiny time of him with her love in the end. He deserves so much but thankfully they gave him a beautiful closure. I really love the character. You are the main and only reason for viewers to watch them for you we keep connected to the series.


Every character touches our heart or connect with us only when the casting mean the actors did fabouls job. Only for them we understand character. And to the whole team who were behind it from director, producer to the whole team of set, light, edit, script, dialogue and etc you did a very good job . It has not a great story but still a story so thank you for all your hardwork.

De sedução não tem nada!

Ok, talvez a culpa seja minha por ter visto uma cena de 1 minuto e acreditar que esse dorama era muito bom. Ou talvez o título me vendeu uma coisa que não acontece nos seus 32 episódios.
A história é baseada no livros Ligações Perigosas, que deu origem ao filme americano Segundas Intenções. Eu assisti ao filme e então eu sabia o que poderia acontecer durante o dorama.
Um trio de jovens ricos e mimados se vingam daqueles que os incomoda de diferentes jeitos, fazem uma aposta de que o sedutor deles três consiga fazer uma jovem sonhadora se apaixonar e depois abandoná-la. Obviamente que o sedutor se apaixona também e não consegue cumprir a aposta e passa o dorama todo lidando com os amigos para que a amada não descubra a verdade.
A amizade dos três herdeiros foi o que me prendeu nos primeiros episódios e mesmo sendo torto e errado, era uma amizade verdadeira e significativa. Cada um deles sofria em casa algum tipo de abuso mas podiam contar uns com os outros. Até a bendita aposta ... O sedutor amadureu muito durante a história, a evolução dele como pessoa foi muito bonita, mas o mesmo não pode se dizer dos outros 2 que ao meu ver mereciam um final melhor. E a amizade que me fez querer ver ao dorama não resistiu, achei triste e não queria isso.
A protagonista feminina (alvo da aposta) não me prendeu, achei ela infantil, sem sal, sem expressão e extremamente chata. Mesmo passando por vários momentos difíceis, eu não consegui torcer por ela. Mas o casal como um todo entregou cenas fofas e românticas, mas sedução ... não teve.

Por el trío principal ya vale la pena verla.

¡Bienvenidos nuevamente a mi charla incesante sobre Woo Do Hwan y todo lo que hace! En el episodio de hoy les traigo Tempted o The Great Seducer (que está basado en el mismo libro que Cruel Intentions, les aviso desde ahora por si es que llegan a ver el parecido).

La trama sigue a un trío de amigos con mucho dinero y desbordante estilo. Ellos se relacionan, hablan de sus conquistas y no dejan que nadie los pisotee. Las cosas se complican cuando, por cosas de la vida, Soo Ji (Moon Ga Young) hace una apuesta con Kwon Shi Hyun (Woo Do Hwan): él debe seducir a Eun Tae Hee (Joy), una chica que Soo Ji toma como objeto de venganza, para luego dejarla y de esa forma destruirla.

Para empezar debo decir que sorprendentemente disfruté mucho este kdrama (sobre todo durante la primera mitad). Hay muchísimo drama en todos los capítulos, los personajes son muy extra, el trío principal es una locura (por favor, dejo que me hagan lo que quieran, son FA-BU-LO-SOS) y en general todo este "juego de seducción" que se plantea se me hizo muy interesante y algo fuera de lo común en las series coreanas. Encima los actores que interpretan a los tres amigos no podrían estar mejor elegidos.
Además los capítulos se pasan volando, eso es lo bueno de que duren solo media hora (a pesar de que, siendo 32, es como ver un dorama típico de 16 episodios).

Todo el tiempo están pasando cosas, hay muchos personajes secundarios interesantes y los besos que protagoniza Woo Do Hwan te dan ganas de verlos una y otra vez sin parar.

Pero no todo es bueno (lamentablemente casi nunca lo es)...

Durante los primeros 5/6 capítulos estuve muy perdida. Son muchos personajes, demasiados nombres y bastantes conflictos juntos. De hecho, tuve que recurrir a leer un recap para sacarme algunas dudas.
Otra cosa que no me terminó de cerrar fue Joy. No es una mala actriz, pero queda muuuy opacada por los demás.
Y por último, desde la mitad en adelante, la esencia inicial de la serie se va perdiendo hasta convertirse en un kdrama cliché más (con final predecible incluido).

En definitiva, una serie entretenida que les recomiendo más que nada por el trío principal (y por si buscan drama del bueno jaja).

Esse dorama é um pouco diferente dos demais que assisti, ele tem muita coisa acontecendo ao mesmo tempo ou em seguida, que chega uma hora que falta até ar e você fica com ansiedade para o próximo episódio. Maratonei em um dia virando à noite porque fiquei bem submersa na história.
Acredito que talvez tenha pecado um pouco pelo excesso de drama por coisa boba e resoluções muito rápidas sem digerir de fato, mas pensando pela narrativa de ser o primeiro amor e toda essa descoberta saindo do ensino médio e ingressando na faculdade e vida adulta faz total sentido.
Vi muitas pessoas reclamando do final, mas acho que precisou se passar 5 anos para que o amadurecimento ocorresse entre o quarteto principal e ficou claro que eles se afastaram, mas sempre se preocupavam ou lembravam do outro.
