I just cannot keep my eyes away from the computer monitor recently. I had been so tied up with watching the korean soup opera, Temptation of Wife / Cruel Temptation. I had been watching this drama like crazy at PPS. Until last night, the day before school-reopened, I had finally finished watching the drama. And I would just give it 4.5/5 stars!
in Korea, Temptation of Wife was aired on 2008, 3rd November and ended on 2009, 1st May. And it is currently airing on Channel U, from 7:00p.m. until 8:00p.m., every weekdays.
The story starts off with the pitiable female lead withstanding hardships while living under the same roof as her nasty in-laws, who was later almost drowned by her weak-kneed husband. After going through all that trials and tribulations, she schemes against the obnoxious family of her in-laws, reducing them to a state of bankruptcy...and the story goes on from there.
this is an interesting melodrama with a marvelous plot. It infused with cliché themes and motifs such as betrayal, wealth-obsession, family turmoil, terminal cancer and frame-ups. From the drama, we are not only obtain the chance to observe the transformation of a tame housewife into a successful career woman, but also the life of depravity among the humans being. While the drama is pretty long, 129 episodes altogether, it is nevertheless a drama worth watching.
in fact, I like the ending part mostly, particularly the last 3 episodes. It was mainly emphasize the retributions over the so-called baddies. I cried for these episodes as the story was utterly touching and absolutely tragic. Almost 2 hours... non-stop! Oh my God... As the result, my eyes were merely swollen and felt uncomfortable in this morning. Still, I never feel regret for watching the drama. It can be considered as the best Korean drama of the year.
