If you’re on the lookout for a captivating series that blends romance with thrilling deception, look no further than "Tempted." This South Korean drama, which aired from March 12 to May 1, 2018, has gained popularity for its intriguing plot and complex characters. With a total of 32 episodes, each filled with emotional turmoil and unexpected twists, it’s bound to hook you from the very first episode. The series features a stellar cast including Woo Do-hwan as Kwon Si-hyeon and Park Soo-young as Eun Tae-hee, drawing viewers into their tangled web of relationships.

"Tempted" cleverly adapts Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's classic novel "Les Liaisons dangereuses" into a contemporary setting. The storyline revolves around Kwon Si-hyeon, who is challenged by his friend Choi Su-ji (played by Moon Ka-young) to seduce the disillusioned Eun Tae-hee (Park Soo-young). What begins as a playful bet quickly evolves into an emotional rollercoaster as genuine feelings develop amidst chaos and manipulation. As Eun Tae-hee grapples with her beliefs about love shaped by her parents' troubled marriage, viewers are taken on a heart-wrenching journey exploring themes of loyalty and betrayal.

One standout element of "Tempted" is its dynamic character development. Kwon Si-hyeon starts off as a charming playboy who thrives on games of seduction but finds himself in over his head when he realizes he’s falling for Tae-hee. Likewise, Eun Tae-hee's transformation throughout the series is compelling; she moves from being cynical about love to discovering its complexities through her interactions with Si-hyeon. Their chemistry drives much of the narrative forward and keeps audiences invested in their fates.
