It’s been a wild summer drama season so far chingus! Prestige dramas like jTBC Insider hasn’t resonated, scandal tinged dramas like Eve didn’t garner the love or hate watch viewership it could have, wildly ambitious and looked like a hot mess pre-airing drama Alchemy of Souls is the surprise hit, and an unknown drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo from nowhere has dominated South Korea. This week Eve wrapped up its run with a drama ratings high of 4.497% and averaged around 3.7% during its run. Not good and not bad but I thought there was a loyal fan following for the drama so I hoped it was at least satisfying for them. Unfortunately the ending was reportedly terrible all around and I just found it weird that Seo Ye Ji went from gorgeous makeup to this weird washed out look with minimal eyebrows by the end that made her look like a ghost. The one who made out like a bandit from this is second female lead Yoo Sun who took a crazy character and went full crazy and I respect that.

Don't know why syj didn't seem as appealing in this show. Maybe iotnbo's fashion game really was That strong. Even when they dressed her up in this one she didn't come close to her role as kmy... and it wasn't just the clothes, it was the make up too...or maybe something else.
IOTNBO’s fashion game was one of the best. I don’t know if they changed stylists for this show. I’ve seen all the Eve outfits featured heavily on Xiaohongshu and she’s wearing big brands, but the styling is off.
The makeup and lighting are the worst offenders. Holy filters. I get that Asians love the pale, blurred look, but this is too much.
The IOTNBO stylist team really did wonders on her looks. It’s no wonder her dramas can’t generated hype before and after that show.
The only good thing about Eve was two loveless ppl finally finding love ( but I’m the end the writers wouldn’t let them have it). With all the hate, violence and corruption in this world it would have been nice to have an ending that finished well for the main leads finding love and happiness together. I was hoping with everything in me that Kang Yoon would finally be happy.
They found love but they always looked like they were in pain, Even when together. Like I've never seen the chairman happy.
OMG that was a horrible ending. I really loved Eve but the ending was the biggest disappointment. Why? Why? Why? The ending made no sense why would Kang kill himself when his wife would go to jail. Why would he leave Eve if he loved her so much and why would he leave his daughter an orphan. Ridiculous. Really big let down I would have gave this 10 now I give it a 3. Terrible writer. NEXT TIME THINK!!!!
Exactly.
Yeah what a waste of Lee Sang Yeob’s character … the rest are so so … could have been better written. No chemistry between Eve and Chairman Kang.
Yh,I don't even know why there was a need for his character since he was totally disregarded in the plotline
@isaid
Yes you are right. They just put him aside as if he is just a supporting lead… the only decent character in the show. Sigh….
The drama ended so-so. Throughout the show, the outstanding performance I felt was yoo sun who throughout the drama displayed the evilness. It is really a uphill task acting opposite to SYJ. Greating acting skill.
I remember back when the drama was announced as her comeback and people predicted it would flop, one of the usual “experts” on here claimed the script was highly sought after/praised in the industry blah blah blah so it would do well. Yet the whole thing was a mess and the ratings couldn't even touch 5%. SMH.
Because those "experts" are SYJ rabid stans LMAO
They quiet now haha
Lol there was a moment in the 1st two episode where SYJ was walking, and she really looked like a ghost floating around, with her stick-like figure, unnatural make up and all. I dropped it soon after because too makjang, couldn’t buy into her revenge plans.
Cara que desperdício de tempo véi,pense decepcionada totalmente.
1st of all iotnbo and eve are entirely different.it follows that the whole production would be diff. as well. make up is pale, lighting etc.. is diff. too. As expected this genre being a melodrama is something new for Yea Ji. One thing remains the same- Yea Ji's insane acting. blame the writer for the storyline folks.
I like the ending.i don't see how it us lacklustre when it ended in a way I didn't expect it to end. There are no true happy endings. But at least it was different.
Yeah.... I totally love this comment, I really loved the ending when Chairman Kang died though the revenge plot was shitty, overall the ending was satisfactory 💖
Because his wife even from jail will hire someone to make our heroines life miserable. She won't stop until she's dead. But we all know it takes being insane to stop her so he didn't really have to die. But I guess it makes for dramatic TV.
I notice at the end after all the revenge, pirates heroine weaes lipstick and looks like she has some colour back. Maybe looking like alabaster white without colour lipstick for almost entire series is deliberate? Even her fashion changed at the end. Less bombastic.
@Sirey the clown, where are you? Quiet as a mouse, huh? Looks like you're the one whose mouth has been shut by your scandal queen's flop drama where she was overshadowed and outshone by the second female lead. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know right, "This drama gonna shut a lot of mouths" my ass 😂😂😂
Where's that SYJ simp anyway lmao
