Esperaba adrenalina en cada episodio, situaciones riesgosas, manipulación y juegos mentales que fueran destruyendo lentamente a cada uno de los antagonistas.
Aunque me gustaron algunas cosas, como Rael, Eunpyeong y Sora, siento que el guion fue cayendo mucho.
Para empeorarlo, odié la narrativa de las “llamas gemelas”. No encontré ni una chispa de química entre la pareja principal y el CEO no despertó nada de empatía en mí.

Tinha potencial mas...
Não vou te dizer que esse drama é de todo ruim ele até tem suas partes interessantes , confesso que o enredo é interessante até certo ponto e consegue te cativar no inicio, bem no início depois é só ladeira a baixo. O drama se torna tão arrastado e por mais que tenha várias reviravoltas ainda sim me daixava cansada. Era presidente para lá presidente para cá presiso conquistar ele , achei muito cansativo.O que me manteve nisso foi para ver o desenrolar dos vilões sim você leu certo os vilões pois na minha opinião eles sim eram interesssantes nesse drama ,principalmente a Han So Ra, essa atriz arrasou na interpretação, suas caras e bocas o modo como ela deu vida a esse personagem insano foi iteressante de acompanhar, ela realmente carregou este drama nas costas.
Vamos falar dos outros 3 protagonistas, apesar de lindos e bem vestidos, eram tão sem vida , apáticos e sem quimica nunhuma entre si, não consegui senti nada quando eles estavam em cena, nem mesmo as cenas mais tristes da mocinha chorante ainda era raso e artificial para mim.
Em fim teve momentos bons mas esse é um drama que com certeza não aasistiria novamente.

Interesting, yet trying
I understand where the writers were trying to go. But they didn't quite land the plane. The corruption, violence, mixed relationships and revenge were understandable. Yet, some scenes tried too hard, and others missed the mark. The FL showed range in acting yet by the time you get to the end the believability of desire falls flat. The SFL was all over the place and was in constant conflict of who she described herself as in lieu of what was on the screen. The OST was okay, and the production became choppy in staging, editing and sequence after a while. ML was good in conveying a torn individual within self, love, family and career. The 'romance' believable to a point. I will admit that I felt horribly bad for the ML as he was always the innocent bystander that continued to get injured by others till the very end. Concept script was good, but after seeing the ending, it all feels lacking. It's worth the watch if you want something a bit different with a little edge and if you love looking at Seo Yea Ji.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Seduce To Conquer
Typical grow-up and return to revenge K-drama, done unusually well in a lot of ways.Every character in this drama was acted to perfection, with the exception of maybe the annoying child actresses that played the two little girls that would be periodically forgotten as if they never existed, since they were nothing more than a detail to the drama and subsequently to the characters.
If I was to point out performances that really stood out to me, it would be the central antagonists. The SFL, with her complex personality.... disorder and mental illness, the actor that played the evil father, and the other guy... who ends up in hospital... for me, personally, as much as I loved to hate them as characters, the amount of thought and work that went into breathing life into those characters was the most impressive for me. I want to see all of them again in something else. They are superb actors.
The plot point about tango was so stupid to me. I mean, tango isn't sophisticated in any way. It was invented so that the opposite sex could have physical contact with one another. Tango music is just European classical music with a South American folk twist to it. The way they talked about it like it's this spiritual dance, instead of what it actually is, which is an intimate dance that developed into a dance to envoke sensuality. Well, that's so much like the ML and FL's relationship, isn't it?!! They both lived in an imaginary place in their heads, where they romanticized their relationship to more than what it was, which was a sexual affair. Claiming they are "Twin Flames", after he recently asked her to just forget about the lawsuit? LOL. Nope! If two people in this drama are actual twin flames, it's the FL and SML. The SML actually loves her as a real-life human being, not as an imaginary sexualized figure of his imagination. The ML has no idea what love is though, having never been loved before, except by his daughter, so it does make sense that he wouldn't be able to recognize it.
I guess the writers wanted to evoke the biblical Eve, who was Adam's second wife. The first wife, Lilith, is often depicted in classic novels such as "Jane Eyre" as the mad-woman in the attic. From the drama title alone, I know that our SFL was headed for "the attic", via madness. The scene with her putting on her war-paint mask of make-up was a stroke of genius, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it was done spontaneously the first time, as it looked so organic and instinctive.
I know I keep mentioning the SFL as if the FL wasn't fantastic as well, I don't mean to imply that, it's just that the SFL role is so much juicier and more interesting from a character point-of-view. The ML was excellent in his role, though, he was a character severely stunted by lack of love, which I mentioned before. The ML sacrificed himself for nothing, as it turns out, since I mean, everything would have turned out pretty much the same had he lived (though, I wouldn't have wanted him to just survive the crash, that would have been too far-fetched).
All in all, well done to the cast and crew. SFL, I loved watching a mature actress steal the show! I'll be looking for your work from now on. Also, I liked her outfits even more than the FL's, and some of them (ep 15 & 16), I want to wear myself, which doesn't happen often.... actually, that's never happened before.

Revenge is sweet, but excessive romance felt bitter
Seo Ye Ji's comeback show, Eve, started off well in it's first few episodes where she plays the lead character Ra El, looking for revenge on those who had his life trampled upon. The first half of the show's plot development is fantastic. The pilot episode and the initial sequences, including the opening scene, all had a constant flow and a number of peaks. The show's plot thickens with each passing episode as Ra El accomplishes more of her goals. We must acknowledge the way in which the characters' pasts were handled during times of uncertainty.It's sluggish in the later half of the show, but it keeps you engaged and curious about what's to come.I felt there was too much of romance and less of revenge story going on in 2nd half, which made me uninterested a little, however Ye Ji was phenomenal in her role and she portrayed it really well, which made me stick to the show very end. The penultimate and concluding episode were the weakest episodes of the drama and evidently doesn't compares tp to other revenge thrillers, this is not one to write home about and ultimately struggles to stand out.
My Rating : 7.5/10

it's a hot mess
I headed into this drama with high hopes after watching Seo Yea Ji's other completed drama which was a big hit, "It's okay not to be okay" however it was quite the disappointment.The storyline left me feeling quite icky and during some parts of the drama, it was straight up disgusting.
The main plot of the story was seeking revenge to get back those that harmed the character Seo Yea Ji was playing however the methods in which she decided to seek revenge did not sit well with me. Destroying someone's family by being the mistress was repulsing.
I wouldn't recommend this drama who anyone who's against adultery as a means of seeking revenge, so save your eyes if you're one of those people.
This is just my personal opinion on the drama so by all means, watch it at your own risk.

A mature drama worth watching
A very interesting plot, kind of a slow burn because you can not be sure about what will happen next. Maybe not the best drama ever but had great performances and interesting twists! I also enjoyed that finally Korean dramas are less "innocent". I mean that most of the times you can be sure about the couple that ends up together simply because they share a kiss - it's like a seal of true love. In this story not, the protagonist is far from being innocent and perfect, as she's already married to another guy. In this drama you can enjoy the story of a mentally mature independent woman who focuses on the goal of getting revenge from the people that destroyed her family (as well as the families of many others). Be prepared though, it's a long unhappy road and sometimes you might wish for a better outcome. I also enjoyed the ending, as I believe it was the best that could happen. It was a form of the ancient Greek hubris-nemesis-atis-tisis. Overall I recommend it!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Extremely riveting with good pacing
Where do I start... This drama caught me by surprise I must say.The story was an interesting premise that unfolded in an engaging way... Of course we had the typical tropes and endless plot holes.. to list a few - Where was Sora and Yoon Gyeom's older daughter? What truly happened to Sora's mother and even Yoon Gyeom's mother? What will happen to Boram now? because La-El was portrayed as a character who truly cared for kids so it seemed out of character to abandon the child like that.
As for the acting, it was good. I'd have to praise the actress that played Sora who was extremely convincing and entertaining. Seo Yea Ji was good too but sometimes took on extremely intense facial expressions that she struggled to switch out of when she needed to portray a different kind of emotion.
My main complaint though is with the Seo Eun Pyung character who was a very weird and unrealistic plot device to help La-El accomplish otherwise impossible pursuits. A guy who looks only a few years older than La-El herself but happens to be so powerful in government that a former tyrannical prime minister who commits murder to get his way somehow respects him? It was a very odd choice. Oh and he's in love with her too! Why?
Back to what I liked... the drama did a good job of portraying that people aren't inherently good or bad but make certain choices as a consequence of their upbringing i.e. Sora has only known and been taught evil so how else would she have turned out?
All in all, the drama kept me entertained all through. I was never bored or felt like it had lost its way. Truly a good watch!

Good Enough
Korean Drama " Eve " is a revenge melodrama with a strong female lead.The drama starts strongly, with the introduction of the characters and their background stories. It is intriguing and twisted, with lots of dark scenes and more mature themes.
However, the drama lost its way after that. It focused on the romance and got messy, with the pace being all over the place and no cohesion. It also got boring and lost its initial charm that had it being original, and got predictable.
The performances, on the other hand, were all great.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Good potential, but lacking something else.
In general I enjoyed this drama. It was something strong and I loved some characters.I liked all the seduction and how the whole plan was planned.
But on the other hand, there were several aspects that were missing.
So... I feel like I needed more details about La El's past, her family etc. Nothing more is explained to us, just the fact that his father was a genius and was brutally murdered. And so... nothing more...
They doesn't talk more about Moon Hee history, they just show us some parts of her past almost in the middle of the drama. Moon Hee just appears on La El room and that's it, you're mine now XD
They didn't focus on the other crimes Pan Ro and Jung Cheol did, they start the drama with a bloody scene and nothing more is explained ?????? it's just to see how relentless they are, muahahah To be honest, it was what I looked forward to most, to see more of what they had done and to see them disgrace themselves in misery.
I really enjoyed to see how Han So Ra was getting crazier and crazier. I laughed a lot in the last episodes when she puts that make up on her face, help. But I "liked" her character!
One more thing that I found it unnecessary, was the 15648 different glamorous outfits La El's had. It's a plan, a revenge, it's not the Fashion Week XD that scene when she meets Yoon Gyeom at the hotel that white or beige outfit, that dress that covers her entire body and that hat.. help, I couldn't take her seriously... where did she get that outfit from??
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed a lot this drama!! But there's a lot of negative and questionable points when I start to thinking about. I loved the OST, the songs were amazing! And the actors did a great job!

Another awesome work by Seo Yea Ji
Seo Yea Ji's courage to deliver everything as Lee Rael really puts her in the select group of top actresses in the world, but especially in South Korea. She showed sadness, grief, happiness, passion, spoke many languages, was a mother, lover, wife, deletive, businesswoman, CEO and dancer in Eve.The fact that Eve tasted a forbidden fruit in the bible also happened in the series. I understand it was a coherent plot, despite several issues I had with CEO Kang Yoon Gyeom's character.
It was an exciting and incredible journey, it made me feel a lot of feelings and made 16 episodes fun.

A estrela yeaji
O pessoal falou desse final mas eu achei totalmente compreensivo e gostei! Fiquei feliz que ela não terminou com ele, claro que minha opinião continua sobre ela ter se apaixonado por ele (extremamente desnecessário e "estragou" o drama) mas a Lael não era uma pessoa ruim e no coração dela ainda tinha amor que acabou amando o Yoon kyum, como eu não sou ela não sei o que se passava mas por mim não concordo que ela tenha de apaixonado por ele mas aconteceu. Pelo menos no fim deu tudo certo e ela conseguiu provar a inocência da mãe, do pai que é o que sempre quis e fazer justiça com tantas pessoas que morreram. E eu acertei o fim da So Ra! Ja era desequilibrada e tava na cara o final dela. Vou fazer a fanfic de que ela ficou com o Eun pyeong sim e nada mais importa. Acho que ele era o amor que ela merecia e é minha opinião. Queria saber o que aconteceu com a Bo ram e com quem ela ficou? E a Da bi também!Mas a Yeaji parabéns pela atuação e pelo seu comeback que foi perfeito. Admiro demais você e seu trabalho!
