Development

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 in the lead roles.^[9]

The series also had a huge success in the Philippines during its run.^[10] GMA Network aired the series (dubbed in Tagalog) in an early primetime slot from October 4, 2010, and concluded on May 27, 2011.^[11]

In 2011, GMA Network's senior vice president for entertainment, Wilma Galvante^[12] stated that they would be adapting the Korean series, Temptation of Wife.^[13] Pre-production started in earlier 2012. The head writer, Dode Cruz stated that he would develop "a bit serious, sexier and edgier version" than the original. The producer assigned Dominic Zapata to direct the series.

Originally planned for a December 2012 premiere, it was later moved to an earlier date.^[14] following the cancellation^[15] of the drama series, Haram.^[16]

Casting

The cast was announced on September 11, 2012, during the series' story conference, with the main cast being, Marian Rivera, Dennis Trillo, Alessandra De Rossi and Rafael Rosell. As for Rivera's preparation, she 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 added that she wants every role she does to be different from the previous one in terms of how she going to approach it.^[17] Trillo described his character as a "not-so-typical-leading-man" role.^[18]

De Rossi^[19] was hired to play Heidi Fernandez. The role was eventually given to Glaiza de Castro due to de Rossi's issues with the role.^[20]

The series served as Rosell's first major project in GMA Network.^[21][22][23] Zapata, required the cast to watch the original series before filming began to familiarize their characters.^[24]

Critical response

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".^[29] 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."^[30]
