This drama had so much potential!
(i'll keep this brief)

After discovering that is was based on Dangerous Liaisons, I was intrigued and rather excited- maybe FINALLY we'll have a drama that strayed away from the usual cliches and kdrama tropes, and instead explored the darkness, manipulations etc. but unfortunately we didn't get to see much of that.

Everything was confusing, why would you introduce so many characters, without completing their character arcs? characters disappear and then reappear throughout the entire drama whilst there actually wasn't any need. What was the point of some of these characters? Eun tae hee's best friend could've had a bigger role in this, there was a lack of support and friendship, why was tae hee suffering alone for the most part. WHERE WAS SHE?? Her one-sided crush on se joo was half hearted, it lacked seriousness and impact, and overall added nothing to the storyline or her character development.

Which reminds me, we didn't need multiple storylines. The drama with JK Group (whatever it was) it was so long and boring that I cannot even recall what happens- it added nothing to the story. The girl Eun tae hee was tutoring (forgot her name), -again, it added nothing to the story. in my opinion, the drama would've done well without all this.

In terms of acting, it wasn't THAT bad, Joy did ok- maybe not lead role material. Her facial expressions can do a bit of work, but i'm sure she'll improve. The other leads did amazing- I can't really complain

Overall, i think this drama just succumbed to bad direction and a bad script. Would i watch it again? nope. except maybe some of the cute scenes. :)
