Tempted .... steam is everywhere.


When I read the synopsis of the serie it totally didn't seem to come from Far East 😅 Sorry to say that but the idea of seducing someone for fun and to laugh about it with friends sound so much like Europe that I had to dig in. And I found! Tempted is loosely based on old French novel "Les liaisons dangereuses" and it totally explains it's steamingness.

So as mentioning before, the story goes around Kwon Shi Hyun (Woo Do Hwan) who sets a bet with his friends to seduce Eun Tae Hee (Joy) only because they thing its fun and that people who follow their heart are pathetic. The dangrous play of hearts is based on deep research of Tae-Hee's personality, perfectly timed encounters and designed moves. Problems start when Shi Hyun starts to subconsciously change his view on love.

Despite many negative comments about the serie I really really liked it 💗 The main actors and the story line were fantastic. The additional stories of supporting characters completely changed how the story of Shi Hyun and Eun Tae Hee developed and allowed for a better understanding of, for example, the actions of their parents. What I notice in several comments to the drama, people didn't like Eun Tae Hee being the antagonist of the show but bor me it was a nice combination with over the top 3 best friends. The trio was kind tempting her to go to the other side but she had enough of stamina to stay by herown side 💪 In the end she was the strong character that could express herself well and I admire that.

Then it comes to the trio.... They were toxic 😵 one to the other. But what do you expect when you have a family backgroud like that? People hate how Shi Hyun treated them in the end but for me this is what they all needed. This vicious circle of one wanting the other doing something bad for fun had to stop. They were destructive for themselves and the surrounding. 

What I personally didn't like in the shop was the lacking of Seo Joo's character. The short scenes at his home with the (even more toxic) family were too short to understand him and what's going on there. He could easily have his on show on that! In the story he was present only when Soo Ji was there 😕 not cool. Kim Min Jae's character needed more depth.

As promissed at my review of The King - Ethernal Monarch to go for a quest of finding drama where Woo Do plays main role 😍😎 Found it and he did not dissapoint me. Despite the fact the drama is generally quite unliked I personally recommend it 👌👏 The amazing chemistry between the leads, interesting story line and insane finalle won't let you be bored.
