Show full of cliches

The male lead looked like he was really attracted to the actress but she looked disgusted by him 😂 she was cringing half of the show.
I watched all the episodes and hated how they gave this cliché of "the woman should only be pretty, serve her husband and shut up"
I hated how they made being pretty the whole personality of the female lead
It was also way too long. The only positive note is the life of the giseang and their colorful costumes and cute Andre
Don't waste your time on this please!

When everything you love has been stolen from you, all you have left is revenge.


This review contains spoilers

Eve is about real/sun bin who plots a revenge against the people responsible for the death of her father and disappearence of her mother 13years ago.
The master mind behind it : Han So Ra the daughter of an influencal politician and wife to a rich chaebol (chairman of LY Group) Kang Yoon-gyeom, So Ra is the main antagonist of the show.
Sun bin is helped in her revenge by Seo Eun pyeong.

Characters:
Kim sun bin/ rael (28 yo)
The main protagonist, she represents Aphrodite
Her attractive looks helps her in seducing the cold hearted Kang Yoon-gyeom.
She suffers from sever PTSD along with other psychological issues ( such as self harm).

Han So Ra (45 yo)
She represents Hera.
The only daughter of a politician and wife to Kang Yoon-gyeom, a strong woman who looks like she has everything but one thing : the love of her husband.

Kang Yoon-gyeom (41 yo)
He represents Poseidon

CEO of LY group and his father's successor, he is the richest man in Korea.
Cold and workaholic, his only goal is to succeed. His life changes when he meets Sun bin whom she becomes his obsession.

Seo Eun pyeong (38yo)
He represents Orpheus
A charismatic politician, youngest presidential candidate.
He is the only one aware of sun bin / Rael's past, he becomes her guardian angel and risk his own life to help her achieve her revenge.

The good:
Seo yeji's acting: that woman can definitely act ! She convoys her emotions incredibly...no matter what other people say about her, yeji is a great actress and a very talented one!

The duo sora/ Rael was just mind blowing, they pushed and pulled thorought the show and made it their own

Each episode keeps you on edge ! You can't stop watching, wanting more and more ...this show will surprise you in so many ways.

The cast: the four main lead are amazing in their own, each character added to the show a beautiful touch.

The reference to the Greek mythology

The fashion !!! This show is a true fashion show

The bad:

The pace in this drama is pretty slow, the revenge element happens at the end of the show

The characters lack depth, a part from sunbin/rael no character has a real backstory so it's difficult to connect with them throughout the show ( ex: So ra has a compulsive disorder but we don't know much about it, we only know that her father used to physically abuse her, we're supposed to understand her constant anger and rage but we don't have any backbone to it)

Almost no chemistry between the two main characters: the chairman is madly in love with sunbin/ Rael but we as viewers don't feel it .. it comes a cross as weird stares and creepy behavior from Kang gyeom

The makeup of seo yeji, it sounds weird talking about the makeup in a review but please watch for yourself!

The messy scenario and plot holes, the writers have missed so many stuff that sometimes it's hard to follow ( ex: where is sora and Kang gyeom's first daughter? )
The ending! What a waste !! Bad ending, rushed ..

This might be good to some but I didn't enjoy the sex scenes honestly not my thing

Do I recommend it ? Absolutely! If you look for a melodramatic soapy show this the right one for you...please be prepared for a turbulent ride.
