Is It Possible To Have Season 2?
Unfortunately, there has been no news out about Temptation of a Wife season 2. However, the kdrama is a part of the ‘Wife Trilogy,’ which covers ‘Two Wives’ and ‘Wife Returns.’ Both dramas are similar to Temptation of a Wife but not exactly interlined. Since the drama concluded with a sweet-bitter ending, closing off all loose ties, there are fewer chances to make Season 2. Plus, already ten years have passed since it aired. Even though kdrama writers take years to make a sequel, they never take a decade length gap. So the continuation of this storyline will not be possible in the current frame. However, you can watch the other two parts of the ‘Wife Trilogy’– ‘Two Wives’ and ‘Wife Returns.’
Besides the trilogy, the drama has two local adaptations from China and the Philippines. Furthermore, there is a male version with the tiled ‘Temptation of an Angel.’ The Filipino remake is called ‘Temptation of Wife,’ while the Chinese remake is The ‘Temptation of Go Home.’ You can check out any of these series if you love the Korean version. After all, all installments have one similar concept, revengeful wife!
