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.

The great seducer was one of those dramas that got everyone talking about. The posters and teasers were full of a dark spark, promising the best dark romance in the drama land. Seductive and aesthetical was the description as well. And then, Episode one was a dive in reality. It seemed more of an episode from gossip girl rather than what it was promised to be. The characters were rich, spoiled youngsters, playing drama with anyone. Plus, the "great seducer" had, like one (?) girl seduced and that was it. So, seducer was more like a title that everyone repeated rather than the real deal. So, one should expect that the big plot will play nice and with a slow built up so that the drama will keep up with appearances. Well, that wasn't the case either. The romance was developed so fast, that we spent the rest of the episodes lovey dovey or breaking up. Wasn't the girl supposed to be cold and not to believe in love? In addition, there were too many secondary characters, so many stories here and there, to, probably, distruct you from the main story that wasn't going as planned. But, they were boring too. Even the secondary love story didn't help. And there was the ending. I personally don't really like the "five years later" spin offs, but here we are, having one of those meaningless time skips, with no real ending. Finally, the acting was okay, and it did got a bit better, though, I think that Joy didn't fit her character. Maybe I see her more of the younger girl characters, in a more happy concept drama. I really enjoyed Min jae at least. He was a nice delightful surprise. So, 3 out of 10.

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.

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.

I was excited to see this because i have a massive crush on Woo Do-Hwan but .... it was a bit of a let down. I get it , the series is about young love and it's target demographic is definitely not the mature crowd but I couldn't help but thinking his talent was wasted on this script.

The female lead was cute and I did feel she acted good at times, but most of the time she was not believable and really ditzy (not sure if that was on purpose). The other female lead (the mean girl) was tiring to watch constantly angry or pouting. The story was good ,a bit drawn out which is the case with most k-dramas but after the 10th episode I was losing interest. Only Woo Do-Hwan kept me watching..., I guess it was a fun project for him and he is trying to appeal to the young female crowds.

I would love however to see him in more mature love story ... maybe something similar to "Something in the Rain" with a more experienced/older female lead.
