In the end that was just a disaster.
The main problem in this drama are director and screen writer.
Cruel Intentions and Les Liaisons Dangereuses are well known projects that we admired to watch and read.
When I first saw the casting, I was really excited because of Woo Do Hwan. He had a really good dramas and he proved himself in acting.
Also, Kim Min Jae and Moon Ga Young were perfect for the roles. Than everyone worried about Joy but she was not the main problem in this drama. Even she was trying her best.
Basically, director don't know how to direct. Screen writer don't know how to write.
If you are watching The Great Seducer, you will always have confusion about what is going on.
Why scenes are separate like that?
Why parents love have that much screen time?
So many unnecessary questions...
In conclusion, if you make an adaptation of a great book that is influence French Literature, you have to stick to the ending.
We don't want your pitty happy ending.
