` Temptation - Drama Platters `

Temptation

May 01, 2019

 

My first love was KDramas, but after Scarlet Heart I fell out of KDramas, although I've watched one or two new after that. 



I think after Sung Hoon's My Secret Romance I completely dropped KDramas, I was eventually gonna return back to KDramas, but right now I am taking advantage of being sick, and watching the KDramas that I have put on hold for so many years.      



I decided to watch Temptation, woooww, One of the most realistic KDramas I've ever watched.  


The drama revolves around three women, & two men.  


This drama shows us how people who are deeply in love can fall out of love, how a determined woman can do her best to get the man she loves.

 
How both couples might cheat in marriage.   


I can't tell you how I love the OST.


We have our cold hearted Ice Queen CEO Yoo Se Young (Choi Ji Woo.


We have our businessman Cha Seok HoonKwon Sang Woo) who's gone bankrupt, we have our loving, caring, warm Na Hong Joo (Park Ha Sun)she's married to Cha Seok Hoon.


We have our handsome, womaniser CEO Kang Min Woo (Lee Jung Jin) and we'll see how this trio's paths crossed and what will happen after that fateful day..


Yoo Se Jin (Chae So Young) married to Min Woo, they have three daughters together and she has a mother in law pestering for a grandson, Min Woo has a son from his mistress and he only finds out on the day he learns that his mistress had passed away.  
My heart broke into pieces when Min Woo met his son Roy, 
 
When SEO saw Cha Seok Hoon at the restaurant in Hong Kong she immediately recognised him, they both did recognised each other 
How Hong Joo helped them out first in the hotel then at the airport and later on became his baby sitter, and developed a deep connection with him.   
When Hong Joo tried to kill herself, SEO Se Young helped her out, & drowning in water that doesn't even coming up to her belly is just doesn't make sense.   
After her suicide attempt SEO Se Young takes Hong Joo to her room, and while chatting she told her that her "Seok Hoon" is not a type of a man who'd have an affair" she put the first suspicions to a woman who just committed suicide by using her husband's name.. 
Hong Joon's worst night mare was her husband is having an affair with SEO Se Young takes Hong Joo and that had happened..
After that SEO Se Young starts to search / investigate Seok Hyun and reasons behind her suicide ...
As I said before Hong Kong is where all the ill fate starts.  

  I don't think this is a drama singles can understand.

  
There's no angel here, there was an innocent, sweet, loving wife, but after her husband's betrayal she changed.


  Not everything is a simple as it looks..  


Imagine you are happily married, and one day something happens and destroys that happiness.   

It might happen to anyone any time, you don't have to be a CEO or rich..

 
Things move pretty fast in this drama 

Yes the husband was unfaithful, yes the CEO has a something to do with it, but if he was not weak and if she had not refused to recruit him many years ago when she first saw him, things would be different 

Yes Hong Joo refused refused her husband's offers reconcile but any woman would do the same. 

It was not really a cheat in the beginning,, but it became a cheat when the male lead finding excuses to see her over and over again, when the CEO finding excuses to see him.  Cheating is not only physical, it's also mental 

This drama teaches us anyone can be a cheater or a home wrecker, they are anywhere but everywhere 

This drama trying to tell us men can cheat, it's their habit and we got to brush it under the carpet and women pays the price 

If I was Hong Joo I'd most definitely would do the same, seek for revenge, never give up until I took my revenge saw them suffering till the end and than stop, after bringing them down to zero, after making them to pay for what they have done, I'd not give up..  

 
I thought when Min Woo got married with Hong Joo he would gave up being a womaniser, sleeping around with various women, no he continued fcking around, even with his cold ex wife

 
Moral of the story is Money can buy anything and everything, it's just about how much you are worth for?

Hong Joo married to Min Woo to get revenge, but her life turned into misery, by her mother in law, by her eldest step daughter, by her husband. and the demons she's fighting with..
 

She shouldn't have married Hong Joo, she should have stayed single and marry a decent guy.
The paparazzi or detective wanna be got hired by Min Woo to spy on his wife, by Min Woo's wife to spy on Min Woo and finally hired by Hong Joo to spy on her husband.   


That irritated me, a paparazzi w/o any morals that showed us money can buy anything, especially a person who has no work morals / ethics 
  
What broke Hong Joo's & Seok Hoon's marriage is the doubts., him not being honest to his wife about what had happened in Hong Kong, her being insecure, and suspecting from her husband.  
It's always easy to say take it or leave it, you won't understand unless you are in that person's shoes, so I understand Hong Joo why she suspected from her husband. A woman understands when her husband is physically there but mentally not.  His heart moved to another woman while being married and that hurt her. 

 
I hatted Seok Hoon he's not my type of hero,  Min Woo  is another jerk, Seo Se Young is a woman who's lonely and suddenly decided to get a married man.  Seok Hoon was the most innocent one, victim till she married to Min Woo.  Se Jin is an evil unfaithful woman. who just wants nothing more than money, and shows no love to her kids either. 
I don't care how good he was too CEO, how he took care of her, he's still as jerk as Min Woo

  Seok Hoon was stupid enough thinking of killing herself over her husband's debts so her life insurance would pay for the debts.   

Hong Joo's ( Lee Jung Shin of CNBLUE) brother & Ha Ji Sun (CEO's little sister) relationship also a weird one.  
Little desperate sister of CEO is also another stalker

 
It's weird, I mean you can't just go and get a married man, while as a CEO you could get any men you want.   Why him? if he was your first love, why did you refused his job application when his wife was not even at the scene? Woman let bygones be bygones
  ; font-size: 15px;"> The last straw for me was Se Young hiring Hong Joo  as her personal nurse after her surgery.
 At first i thought Seok Hoon & Se Young is such a cute couple.  
 

 Telling a lie to the shop keeper to buy that Black Sparkly Jimmy Choo Shoes, which was originally reserved for CEO  Se Young, the cute moments in between them. 
 

  But it changed after Seok Hoon accepting Se Young's proposal, yes it sounded like she wanted to hire him for sexual pleasure but it turned out to be different, at the end this simple game caused him his marriage. 
And my blood boiled seeing those shoes on CEO's feet, Seok Hoon bought it for Hong Joo


For the Seok Hoon & Se Young shippers sorry I don't find them cute / attractive or even acceptable


 
  I got angry when Se Young told Hong Joo told her that she wants her husband, and Hong Joo gave up quickly I'd most possibly said you want my husband, OK I'm giving him to you free of charge, enjoy, but I don't accept returns.
   
 
I don't understand any of these female leads, why did they made their world revolve around men. 
We just can't blame SEO for wrecking marriage, it's a two way street 

 It's just despicable.   Nothing to good to say.   
 
Ending was another disaster, happy ending for CEO & Seok Hoon, who least deserve happiness.  
Nothing for Hong Joo & Min Woo
I'll always remmeber Seok Hyun as the guy who sold his soul for 1 million dollars  
CEO & Seok Hoon are the last ones that deserved any happiness, she should have died and Seok Hoon should have turned into a monk after her death, end of story..   
Both Min Woo & Seok Hoon are cheaters, CEO Seo Young is the marriage wrecker they don't deserve anything at all, I have no mercy for cheaters and marriage wreckers. 
Hong Joo didn't wreck her own marriage, when her husband asked for forgiveness his heart was already belonged to CEO Seo Young, so there was no reason for her to forgive her  husband, and there was no guarantee he was not gonna be Seo Young's shadow.  
Hong Joon really cared for Roy maybe more than his own dad.  
At the very end when CEO Seo Young told she's sorry to Hong Joon and she said she can't even give children to Seok Hoon (due to cancer they removed her ovaries & uterus), but I still didn't even feel sorry for her.  Sorry no Sorry
Maybe that was her Karma.
