help Tempted FAQ
Is the K-drama Tempted really based on Dangerous Liaisons?
Yes, it adapts Les Liaisons dangereuses, the 1782 French epistolary novel by Choderlos de Laclos. The story is transplanted to modern-day Seoul among wealthy university students, much like the film Cruel Intentions did for 1990s New York.
Who stars in Tempted?
The 2018 MBC drama stars Woo Do-hwan as the wealthy heir Kwon Shi-hyun and Red Velvet's Joy as Eun Tae-hee, alongside Moon Ga-young and Kim Min-jae. The central bet is that Shi-hyun can seduce Tae-hee, who doesn't believe in love.
How many episodes does Tempted have?
It ran for 32 episodes on MBC in 2018, with the season split into shorter broadcast segments across its Monday-Tuesday slot. This makes it a much quicker binge than typical hour-long 16-episode K-dramas.
Is Tempted the same show as The Great Seducer?
Yes, The Great Seducer is the alternate English title for Tempted, and both refer to the same MBC series from 2018. The dual title causes confusion on streaming listings, where it has appeared with English subtitles on platforms such as Viki and Netflix depending on region.
