Tempted is about a young woman who thinks love is quite pitiful until she meets young man (who happened to be a playboy trying to seduce her due to a bet).

This drama was not the most terrible thing I have encountered. There are a few dramas I simply could not bear to finish watching, but Tempted/Great Seducer had this intangible element that kept me until the end.
Was I enraptured the whole way through? Ehhhh...for the most part.
Did I skip (a lot), though? Yup. Unfortunately.

Tempted does not have a great rewatch value but it did justice to the typical bad-boy-cliche. For a cliche, it worked okay? Sometimes we're looking for a cliche unrealistic storyline of a drama to satisfy our romantic notions. This definitely did the trick.
Could it have been done better? Absolutely. I do like a soapy drama but it was a tad on the messy side. Okay. A lot on the messy side.

In spite of all the flaws of the screenwriter, producer, etc etc , though, they at least selected a most excellent actor to portray the bad boy/seducer. AND DON'T CORRELATE bad acting to bad characters -- I have seen my fair share of awkward acting. All in all, I have always loved all of Joy's dramas (GO WATCH LIAR AND HIS LOVER IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY) & I LOOOOVED WOO DO HWAN. #newfan :)

In short, the bad reviews should not deter you from watching this. The cast evidently worked really hard & there WERE good elements (eg friendship, bromance, some relatively deep revelations). For me, the acting and production quality was enough to keep me til the end. Overall, I think it's def worth a (one-time) only go if you have time to spare and no dramas to watch at the moment.
