Temptation Episodes 9-10

Welcome back Tempters to another controversial week of Temptation Talkfest, where me and my partners gab about the lunacy that is marriage resignation and characters that find it impossible to own their own dirt. What do you think?

 Well, they certainly owned up to much more than they had been. I felt like throwing my hands up in praise to the drama gods when Seok Hoon admitted that their divorce was not just brought on by Se Young or anyone/anything else for that matter. They had issues long before which is generally the case. The same applies to Min Woo and Ji Sun’s marriage which was doomed to fail as it was a business transaction from the very beginning. After all that growing apart, I think that the two divorces and the two time skips were simply ways to get the question of said dirt’s legality out of the way. Well, at least we got to see Seok Hoon getting all romantic(ish) again.

Watching Seok Hoon with Se Young not only gave us a glimpse of who he was before we were thrown into his and Hong Joo’s crumbling marriage, but it also reminded me why I love Kwon Sang Woo so much. He’s not all hot bod and steamy showers. Although that certainly helps.Was that romantic?  'Cause it felt more like death ray seduction stares. But all in all, I am glad he's back and ready to move forward. However, I do admit I'm concerned about Se Young entrusting too much of her business responsibility to him. I think he's good at his job and with him, she's better (someone who takes risks and views multiple perspectives) but I have a suspicion, relying on him or at least seeming to, may have negative repercussions. The one advantage Seok Hoon has (other than his death ray seduction stares) is that he forces her to escape her cold business tactics. She’s a woman in a business mainly dominated by men, so I understand why she has the persona she does, but Seok Hoon reminds her that sometimes tapping into her (and other’s) humanity can be important in business as well. Seok Hoon is smart; I’ll give him that. I do also think that he may be getting too much from her. Se Young is also an intelligent woman, but her emotions (well, emotion, since her “first love” has come around) are starting to set the stage for those repercussions. There’s nothing wrong with having emotions, of course. Her love is a sign of character growth on Se Young’s part. However...I have a feeling that dinner party’s getting a little too heated as a result of past weeks’ events…
