When talent meets creativity
My kinda series... this one, in my very personal opinion, is by leaps and bounds the best kdrama I've watched thus far.Every character has a story, and every story has a purpose. The winner of this drama is actually the penmanship of the scriptwriter. Everything you hear (or read in my case - subtitles), and every bit of detail conveyed, intricately weaves into the storyline. There's no buffer or filler or gaps left for malarkey.
The directors vision and the actors execution is perfectly aligned with the writers perception, or so it comes across.
Delightfully Deceitful was a delightful watch.

Different from usual revenge dramas.
As implied from the headline, this is a revenge drama.The story is about a teenage girl falsely implicated in the murders of her parents, released from prison after 10 years and going on revenge mode to avenge her wrong imprisonment and murder of her parents.
The plot: Taking a u-turn from usual revenge dramas, this drama focuses on the main leads getting revenge by conning the bad guys. As said above, FL is implicated in her parent's murder but found support in an able lawyer who has the problem of being overly emotional with the cases. FL is supported by a bunch of her "colleagues"and together they formed a perfect team to avenge for what they had to suffer in the past.
Acting: This is the best thing about this drama, the acting. Everyone has done a splendid job here. I loved the dynamics between Ro-Um and Moo-young.
This drama do suffers from the obvious low moments in the plot which can be overly complicated at times. But the biggest positive is that the writers were able to wrap things up perfectly. In an era where kdramas are sucking at the ending, this drama feels like a breath of fresh air about how they approached the story and how well the ending is written.
I feel like the ratings are not doing justice to this drama. We have mediocre products like movies of certain big stars getting ratings of more than 8, while such good dramas are stuck at 7.7.
Don't go with the ratings. You will surely enjoy this drama.

Most refreshing drama of 2023 (contains spoilers of the first 2 episodes)
The female lead is cunning and is deemed a "sociopath" (though this is probably not the case as hinted in the first 2 episodes). The female lead is smart, funny, "antisocial" and charming when she needs to be. The male lead is a top-lawyer who is described to have a condition where he is highly empathetic. However, while this is true, it seems this "empathy" is more so of a selective nature, especially towards the female lead. He and the female lead have a childhood connection, that influences the male lead to help the female lead. Essentially the show is about the female lead being falsely accused of the murder of her parents, and the male lead becomes her lawyer to help prove her innocent. The "good boy" "bad girl" trope is not common in kdramas so I recommend everyone should give this drama a try.Was this review helpful to you?
Drama with fake description
He has great empathy for other people and observant of their mental state. He is sometime too immersed with others. Even he looks at people who are hurt,this was Written on male lead character
Great empathy but after watching first episode it look like the wrote everything opposite he just look annoying arrogant
he is always looking down on others
he has no emotion at all
there is nothing like empathy inside him he is like robot or even worse then robot
he even look at people who are hurt
yes he just look at them and then just pass by like a inhuman

captivant et bien interprété
J'avoue ne pas comprendre certaines critiques affirmant que la série s'éteint progressivement au cours des épisodesBien au contraire, l'histoire est bien menée et l'interprétation excellente.
Chun Woo hee (the atypical family) joue avec justesse les différentes facettes de son personnage appuyée par un Kim Dong wook toujours aussi bon.
Tous les autres acteurs sont aussi bons.
Quant à l'histoire elle rebondit à chaque épisode et n'est en rien faiblarde et ce jusqu'à la toute fin.
On passe un bon moment avec la mise en place des différentes arnaques...

décevant
Cela aurait pu être un très bon polar, avec des enfants utilisés, de la vente pyramidale etc.Or, après un bon début, cela fait pschitt. Le rythme est très (trop) lent être les épisodes 4 et 12, visiblement le scénariste manquait d'inspiration.
C'est une histoire de revanche, mais très mal construite et mal écrite, on n'est pas dans "the double".
Des enfants génies ont été utilisés (torturés si besoin) pour devenir des criminels de talents.
On les retrouve 10 ans plus tard, la FL en prison pour le meurtre de ses parents. C'est le début de le revanche.
Aussi incroyable que cela puisse paraître, seuls les personnages secondaires sont intéressants, pour les leads, des claques :
Lee Ro um pour qu'elle arrête d'être froide, pas sympathique et sans expression sur le visage.
Han Mu Yeong pour qu'il se réveille
Go Yo Han pour qu'il parte tellement il est pénible (jusqu'au milieu de la saison, après on ne le voit plus lol)
Une mention spéciale à Ringo, le seul personnage vraiment attachant de toute la série (et qui s'en prend plein la tête)
C'est difficile de juger le travail des acteurs, vu les personnages peu engageants, mais dans d'autres séries ils sont bons.
