Cruel Intentions is one of my favourite movies. It's a Dark Romance and I was hoping to see some of that in this drama. Unfortunately what we got was neither "Dark" nor any "Seducer". It started with a bang, and got me hooked. The trio's dynamics and their chemistry exploded and that is what attracted me initially.

Where exactly did it fell?? Could be because of the irritating sub-plots like the Parents' story arc, Tae Hee's irritating friend, and because instead of dark, we got mushy, characters whining over stupid stuff. Instead of tragedy the the original source material, we got forced happy ending (with very little tragedy).

Acting wise I think Joy was a little mediocre. Moon Ga Young stood out for me. She was literally the Queen with her eyes and her beauty. Actually the Trio were great in the beginning. The Piano music was brilliant sometimes and suited the dark heavy scenes. Rest of the music was Ok, Ok.

Could have been great. Felt Meh. Rooted for Soo Ji and Se Jo throughout.
