Temptation of Wife continues on 40% of high viewer’s rate and this seems to be this way for a while.  People are in love with this drama regardless of their ages.  What made this drama draw so much attention in Korea now?

Temptation of being home early to watch

Some call this drama as the second version of the Hourglass which broke the record of the highest viewer’s rate in 1995.  It has attracted  various ages of viewers.  There are many posts in TOW website about how difficult it is for young viewers age 20s to come home early enough to watch this show.  One said she had never tried to get home by 7:00 after studying in her college.  Another said it is an addiction to falling into this show than any other trendy dramas.

It is true that youngsters have much more attractive things to spend their evening time, such as dating, spending time with good friends, pursuing hobbies, etc.  They have to forgo all of their usual pattens and come home to watch this show.  I think that is a sacrifice and they are willing to do that.  This shows how powerful this drama is to people.

How about people aged 30s?  They usually hang out with colleagues and friends and pouring some alcoholic beverages down to their throats but they give up their precious time to release their day’s stress and head home.  I think it is a real dedication.

Take a look at the time the show is on.  It is 7:20pm.  They don’t have time to waste any time after their work.  Usually the most popular TV shows are on 8:00pm but this changes even the time table of the best show on TV.

Temptation of Wife takes over many DMBs on the road.

Popularity of the show isn’t limited only at homes.  There are TVs in show windows, in a grocery shops, in some local restaurants, and even fitness centers.  There are so much Temptation of Wife when the time comes in cities.

Most of all, technological advantage keeps people addicted to this drama.  DMB is well spread to general public and it shows broadcasting on air almost everywhere in Korean cities, not only on the ground and up but also the underground levels.  I personally like to watch a show from a little DMB player in subway.  It is a great tool to kill your time until it takes you safely to your destination.

You can easily witness 2 or 3 people watching TOW through a small screen DMB player.  It sounds a little dangerous but even some male drivers, not to mention female drivers, watch it in their car while driving.

Temptation of the great acts on all the castings

There must be reason for the addiction.
1. It is an interesting story.
2. It has many fighting and yelling scenes that release viewers’ stresses.
3. The process of story goes really fast.  If a conflict happens, it must be solved the next show.
4. Most of all, all the actors and actresses work so perfectly that you don’t know who is the main or not.

There are many top rated veteran actors and actresses in this drama, such as Jang Seo-hee, Kim Seo-hyung, Byun Woo-min, Jeong Eri, Lee Jae-whang, Yoon Mira, Kim Yong-gun, Choi Jun-yong, Kim Dong-hyun, and Geum Bora.  Their splendid names themselves tell us TOW is a good one to enjoy their acting and their acts have been so magnificent.

We don’t know until when this drama will lead people’s lives but there is a hope from the fans.  The temptation has to go on until the end of the show.  That might be the only hope that all the royal viewers want.
