It is an incredible thing to see how someone who lived all his life being someone who toys with people meet someone that peels off all the nonsense and realize that he's been living as someone else. Realizing who he actually is, he sends ripples in the lives of those around him and they slowly but surely follow foot. This is definitely a series that stands in its own genre being both beautiful and ugly, comforting and painful, Loving and hateful. A great experience overall. Despite the ending being quite concise, the journey remains worth every second spent.

Rewatching this one after a few years and I still loved it.

Is not perfect by any means but because it has many dark twisted plots you get hooked into it and you won't be able to stop watching.

The characters of this show and I mean all of them are impossible to like, quite hateful and full of flaws. You will like them at times and understand their struggles and past experiences so you will feel empathy for them but at the same time you will see how twisted, perturbed and imperfect they are and hate them too. Perfect depiction of the human nature, nothing is romanticized in this drama and i am all for it.

The main characters are playing a disturbing game of emotions just to relieve the pain they feel inside and its dark but beautiful. Love the loyalty they have for each other and their friendship and at the same time you can see their dislike for each others too at times. Such an unique and different concept.

The main leads have chemistry and although I am not a big fan of Joys acting, i have watched all of her dramas and Is very average and plain but Woo Do Hwan is just incredible here, you can see how he swifts from one side/personality of his character to the other, even his eyes and expressions change. Didn't rate his performance on Mad Dog but here and The King is just outstanding.

2nd leads are awesome as well, mostly Moon Ga Young who is 10 times the actresses Joy is and fills the screen when she is on stage.

Overall is very entertaining and non traditional. Could have been better? Yes, more darkness and more focused on the ill intentions of the ML and his relationship and feelings towards the FL would have been perfect. But still was a pretty good outcome.

Watch it.

The Great Seducer (also known as Tempted) actually became one of my favorite dramas of 2018. There were certainly some issues with the script and direction; with the plot and writing at times letting down a talented cast. The drama isn't tied to one genre, with it shifting between a darker mystery and a romantic comedy. This could be confusing to some viewers, but I was able to enjoy the way the drama didn't fit neatly into one definition and I embraced both the comedic and the dramatic scenes. The two leads had great chemistry, with Park Sooyoung and Woo Do Hwan delivering fine performances ranging from romance, comedy, and heartbreak. Overall I thought the cast was able to make their characters compelling enough to make this drama a worthwhile view and one of my favorites in 2018.

Watching this was very weird. I still don't know if the drama served a purpose. The cast is mostly stellar and I think joy did a pretty good job in her debut role. But the main criticism is that what purpose did this drama serve? The plot is nonexistent and things just...happen for whatever reason. No lessons were learned and all characters are back to square one. Especially Se-ju whose story is barely explored.

It's reminds me of cruel intentions, pretty good so far
