Finally finished this drama. I forced myself. It became uninteresting towards the end. I thought it would be a remake of Cruel Intentions, but the characters are too weak and emotional. Then they twisted the plot really badly. Then they put a really fake but cute little ending just to appease viewers. Like you don't need to do that. Its botched up the way it is, why bother saving it. ...I just watched it till the end so I can put it on my completed list. I like to finish my dramas. Glad its done and over with. I guess, watch it at your own risk...risk of wasting your precious time...
I thought at first that they will really follow the footsteps of "Cruel Intentions" purely, but they did not. It is about students, for sure, but then again, Cruel Intentions is a movie and The Great Seducer is a drama, so they gotta "lengthen" that plot...and add a touch of Korean of course. So they went the "Gossip Girl" route...which is cool, but none of the wild American culture...you know what I mean...so still good. They also divided the personality of Sebastian (from Cruel Intentions) to 2 guys, Si Hyun and Se Joo, thus making it like the 2 characters from Gossip Girl, Chuck and Nate with a mix of Dan, because of their ability to sympathize...they are Korean men after all... Anyway, its all good. So in my opinion, its a mix of "Cruel Intentions" and "Gossip Girl" with the conservative Korean touch. Love it!
This concepts of mine will mix Korean and Taiwanese dramas, so excuse me if it doesn't agree with you.
