Although their marriage is void of happiness, Angeline tries to be an excellent wife to her husband, and takes good care of her in-laws, Romeo and Stella. However, she soon learns that the life she chose is full of lies and betrayals. Adding to her woes is her unexpected miscarriage.

Origin

Main article: Temptation of Wife

Temptation of Wife (아내의 유혹) is a 2008 Korean drama series originally broadcast by Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) from November 3, 2008 till May 1, 2009. It was written by Soon-ok Kim and directed by Se-kang Oh. The series starred Seo Hee Jang, Jae Hwang Lee, Woo Min Byun and Seo Hyung Kim as the lead characters.[9]

Despite the controversies regarding the storyline of the drama[10] and the "plagiarism" issues,[11] it still remains to be one of the most popular and highly watched dramas in South Korea. The series also won several awards in 2009 SBS Drama Awards including the Daesang (Grand Prize) award for Seo Hee Jang; Best Actor award for Woo Min Byun; Best Supporting Actor award for Joon Yong Choi; Best Actress award for Suh Hyung Kim; and Best Young Actor award for Yoon Suk Jung.[12][13]

The series also had a huge success in the Philippines during its run.[14] GMA Network aired the series (dubbed in Tagalog) in an early primetime slot from October 4, 2010 and concluded on May 27, 2011.[15] Due to its popularity, the network decided to re-air the series on primetime from June 6, 2011 – August 25, 2011.[16]

Production and development

Mid-2011, in a press lunch, the then GMA Network's senior vice president for entertainment, Wilma Galvante[17] formally announced that they would be adapting the Korean series, Temptation of Wife to a local version.[18] The network had started its pre-production earlier 2012. The assigned head writer, Dode Cruz stated that he develops "a bit serious, sexier and edgier version" than the original. The producer assigned Dominic Zapata to helm the series.

GMA Network released a sneak preview of the series via an omnibus plug, entitled "Ang Tahanan ng Dramang Inyong Mamahalin" (lit. Home of the Dramas That You Will Love) on October 6, 2012, along with the network's three other primetime offerings intended for the last quarter of the year.[19] Though originally planned for December, 2012 premiere, the show, however, moved to an earlier playdate.[20] following the cancellation[21] of the supposed Dingdong Dantes-Kylie Padilla series, Haram.[22]

Casting

Cast and characters were all announced in September 11, 2012 during the series' story conference, with the main cast being, Marian Rivera, Dennis Trillo, Alessandra De Rossi and Rafael Rosell. The network personally chose Rivera and Trillo to reprise the characters of Angeline Santos and Marcel Salcedo, respectively, for the local adaptation of Temptation of Wife. The two first worked together on 2010 Filipino adaptation of another Korean series, Endless Love. As for her preparation, Rivera stated that "Whenever I have a new soap, I make sure to ask some tips about the role. Then I talk to my director how he wants me to approach my role. I'd like to have an idea of the character that I am going to portray and how I would give life to it onscreen," she said. She further stated that she wants every role she does to be different from the previous one in terms of how she going to approach it. "I was challenged to alter the concept of being a "damsel in distress" in my role as Angeline," she added.[23] On the other hand, Trillo described his character as a "not-so-typical-leading-man" role.[24]

Actress, Alessandra de Rossi[25] was originally assigned by the network to play the antagonist role, Heidi Fernandez.[26] She is known in her villainous roles in the hit series, Legacy. However, the role was eventually given to Glaiza de Castro.

Another series' regular, Rafael Rosell portrayed Nigel Armada, the main protagonist's romantic interest.[27] This series served as Rosell's first major project[28] for the network after he inked an exclusive contract on August 13, 2012.[29][30] Series' director Dominic Zapata, made the entire cast watch the original series before shooting began to familiarized their characters.[31]

Filming

The series’ plug, teasers and opening title sequence were filmed on September 11, 2012 in a studio at GMA Network Center in Quezon City. The said teaser is actually an omnibus plug for the network's final set of primetime offerings for 2012.[32] Filming for the series began on October 9, 2012. Many of the series’ scenes were shot on location in Quezon City.[33]

Reception

Although the show's initial weeks could only muster a top three standing, its fortunes changed when Marian Rivera's character (Angeline Santos) returned with a new, feisty identity (Chantal Gonzales). According to the Comparative Program Ratings and Audience Shares data of Nielsen Philippines from December 1, 2012 to January 4, 2013, the show headed the NUTAM, Urban Luzon, and Mega Manila with household ratings of 19.6%, 21.9%, and 22.9%, respectively. The show also registered high numbers in household shares compared to its counterparts, with 38.3% in NUTAM, 40.9% in Urban Luzon, and 41.3% in Mega Manila (using the assumption of an estimated five viewers per TV household, the show's margins of 1.2 points and 6.5 points translate to more than 500,000 viewers and almost 3 million viewers, correspondingly).[34][35]

The series was also considered as a "critical success" from its first season: Vincent Anthon Garcia of gulfnews.com said that "Marian Rivera has proved why she is truly the Queen of Primetime TV. Her current series, Temptation of Wife, has zoomed to the top of the ratings".[36] Mario Bautista of Journal praised the show's main villain, Glaiza de Castro, said that "One reason why Temptation of Wife clicks with viewers is the fact that de Castro is so effective as the villainous Heidi. We know she didn't want to play kontrabida (villainess) again after she did lead roles in Grazilda and Biritera. But Glaiza made the right decision in accepting the Heidi role as it's really so "mark" and she can show her versatility as an actress who can do both lead and villain roles."[37]
