Jang Seo-hee wins grand prize at SBS Drama Awards (Source) 2010/01/04


Korean actress Jang Seo-hee at SBS Drama Awards [SBS]


Korean actress Jang Seo-hee won the grand prize at the SBS Drama Awards, held at SBS' Open Hall on December 31.


Jang was awarded the top honor for her role in "Temptation of Wife", which was one of the most-watched and most controversial dramas of the year for its sensational storyline.


"I didn't want to cry. I wanted to be cool about receiving [the award]".. said Jang in her acceptance speech. "I thought I wouldn't be able to win this because of the genre. I would like to thank writer Kim Soon-ok... I was in a slump for three years but she helped me make a comeback".##

2009 Drama Awards Wrap Up With No Surprises (Source) 2010/01/03
By Han Sang-hee
Staff Reporter

There were no big surprises at the Drama Awards held by the three major networks ― KBS, SBS and MBC ― last year.

The Grand Prizes each went to Lee Byeong-heon for his work in "Iris" (KBS), Jang Seo-hee for "Temptation of Wife" (SBS) and Ko Hyeon-jeong for "Queen Seon-deok" (MBC).

Year-end drama awards have been criticized for being too generous when giving out awards and also not meeting the public's consensus. Last year's events were indeed generous, yet there were no decisions that caused anyone to shake their heads. However, there were distinctive trends that made the three events different from the past.

'30s Reigning the Small Screen

Unlike the pop industry where young idol bands are main stream, the older crowd is on top in the drama scene.

Lee, Jang and Ko are all in their '30s, beating their younger colleagues with their charisma, experience and impeccable acting skills.

'Queen Seondeok' (Source) 2009/12/04
MBC TV's "Queen Seon-deok" has become the year's most viewed drama, according to TNS Media Korea, an audience rating agency.

"Queen Seonkeok", which began to air in May, topped the list of this year's TV dramas with an average audience rating of 35.3 percent.

SBS TV's "Temptation of Wife", which had been under fire for being lousy, came in second with 34.6 percent, followed by SBS TV's "Brilliant Legacy" ("Shining Inheritance") with 31.9 percent and KBS TV's "Iris" with 30 percent, which is now being broadcast amid high popularity.

Despite the bright performance of "Queen Seon-deok", MBC TV managed to rank only two dramas in the top 10.

Now showing on evening TV: provocative, racy themes (Source) 2009/11/16
What do you get when you combine a broken family and betrayal, throw in some adultery and revenge and top it all off with a dash of violence? A daytime soap opera.

Provocative, exaggerated and often unbelievable story lines have defined daytime soap operas almost as long as they've been in existence. The formula is a no-brainer: The more dramatic, the better. Sprinkle in a few scenes where a mean mother-in-law slaps her son's wife on the cheek or a guilt-free man lashes out at a woman with chauvinistic, insulting remarks and chances are the ratings will soar.

While this is nothing new in the world of daytime soap operas, these racy and controversial elements are quickly creeping into prime-time dramas as well, when children are more likely to see them. They're also getting even more provocative - and therefore controversial - as shows go all-out to gain more viewers.

The trend has even given birth to the word makjang, which literally means "blind-end", implying that things hav... |More
TV Decency Rules to Be Tightened (Source) 2009/10/18
By Kim Tong-hyung
Staff Reporter

The government is vowing stricter control on television materials amid growing viewer complaints over sex, violence and indecency.

Although the strengthened decency standards will be enforced to all national, local and cable channels, the Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) said, the dramas and game shows on national networks clearly seem to be the biggest targets.

It remains to be seen how television stations will react to the plan of heavier fines and sanctions, as they have been moaning that the commission's decency rules were vague and curbing creativity.

However, KCSC was under pressure to take stronger action to clear up the airwaves, with an increasing number of national television programs being slammed for their disturbing content and offensive language.

The debate over taste and decency has reached a point where extreme dramas and blunt game shows have become part of daily vocabulary here.

"Extreme dramas, based... |More

Alternative title : "Wife's Revenge" (Translation), "Cruel Temptation"

Synopsis

Eun-jae (actress Jang Suh-hee) majored in fashion design at a prestigious university and starts preparing to study fashion in France as a post-graduate student but she becomes pregnant with Kyo-bin’s (actor Byun Woo-min) child and then marries him, jettisoning her career hopes. Her in-laws are part of the nouveau riche class and lack any class but Eun-jae tries to get along with them during seven years of her marriage. Her first pregnancy, which led to her marriage to Kyo-bin, ends in a miscarriage. When Eun-jae becomes pregnant again after a long wait, she is overjoyed.
Around the time of her pregnancy, Eun-jae’s best friend Ae-ri (actress Kim Seo-hyung), returns to Korea after studying in France. Ae-ri was also Eun-jae’s brother’s girlfriend at one time and when she left for France 5 years ago, she said a “sponsor” was footing the bill for her tuition. But Ae-ri’s so-called secret sponsor turns out to be Eun-jae’s husband Kyo-bin. Eun-jae later finds out that Kyo-bin was cheating on her with Ae-ri. Eun-jae is shocked to learn of her friend’s betrayal because she thought Ae-ri would marry her brother, making them sisters-in-law. On top of that, Ae-ri had Kyo-bin’s child, a five-year-old boy. When Eun-jae’s brother Kang-jae learns about Kyo-bin’s indecent past, he physically assaults Kyo-bin. Due this incident, Kyo-bin and his mother pressure Eun-jae to sign the divorce papers. After Kyo-bin and Eun-jae get divorced, Ae-ri doesn’t find her married life comfortable because her father-in-law looks at her with disdain. While nursing her broken heart on an island, Eun-jae is visited by Ae-ri, who demands that she abort her second pregnancy and move to another country. Kyo-bin also confronts Eun-jae and takes away the wedding ring he gave her and throws it into the sea. Eun-jae jumps into the ocean to try to retrieve the wedding band because it means a lot to her. But Eun-jae can’t swim and Kyo-bin doesn’t try to rescue her. Eun-jae is lost at sea. Kyo-bin and Ae-ri become partners in crime and hide the terrible secret of causing Eun-jae’s disappearance. They return home and tell the family that Eun-jae committed suicide.
Meanwhile, Lady Min, a wealthy woman who built a fortune in the retailing and money lending businesses, happened to be in the area near the island where she was searching for her missing daughter together with her adopted son, Gun-woo (actor Lee Jae-hwang). She spots Eun-jae floating unconsciously at sea and rescues her. After she loses her baby in another miscarriage, Eun-jae is taken care of by Lady Min and her adopted son. Eun-jae assumes the name of Lady Min’s missing daughter

Temptation Of Wife, example of cesspool writing.  Drawn out, weak writing, bi-polar characters for no reason. Even worse than Aquarius. The ending is retarded beyond belief. To go from Glass Slipper to this trash, sad and embarrassing for the better Korean writers.

There's a few mistakes with the synopsis.   KyoBin didn't throw the ring into the ocean. He tells her to get an abortion but she continually refuses and pleads him to just let her child and her be and that she won't contact him to ask him for any parental/financial support. KyoBin doesn't trust her and tells her that if she can't do it, then they both should die together, and so he drags her into the ocean with him, but soonafter, a tide starts to come in. KyoBin gets scared and tries to get back to shore but EunJae is holding his hand because she can't swim. He starts panicking and forcefully pulls his hand from her grasp and gets back to shore, while EunJae is crying out for help and is visibly drowning.   The ring is actually used in AeRi and KyoBin's attempt to fake EunJae's will. They ripped a page of EunJae's diary that said "im sorry mom," rolled it up and inserted it in the ring.   Lady Min is not the one who saved EunJae. GunWoo was desperately trying to find his sister's body (SoHee). He's on the shore calling out her name in desperate attempts to find any signs of her, but he comes across EunJae's body that drifted ashore. He immediately brings her to a hospital. He helps her get through the pain of losing yet another child through miscarriage.   Lady Min becomes involved in EunJae's life after EunJae wins a makeup contest that Lady Min sponsors. From there, EunJae rejects the chance to study abroad and asks for a place to stay. Lady Min allows her to stay in her daughter's room for the time being. GunWoo comes home to find out EunJae has assumed the name of his sister. Lady Min finds that out and kicks her out, but EunJae makes desperate attempts to ask Lady Min to listen to her story. After hearing EunJae's story, Lady Min realizes that EunJae's revenge and her [LadyMin] revenge are tied in together and offers to help her. From there on, EunJae is allowed to assume the name of her dead daughter, SoHee.
