The drama Forbidden Temptation dives into a web of betrayal and family secrets, portraying a man whose life unravels as he faces both his father’s infidelity and his wife’s deception. Airing on Wednesday via GTV and Kstar, the series follows Lee Jun Young as a seemingly content husband living with his beautiful wife, played by Park Yoo Jin, their child, and his bedridden mother. Although the household appears harmonious, dark undercurrents soon surface. When the mother-in-law, portrayed by Kwak Eun Young, stops by to visit the ailing matriarch, the father-in-law, played by Son Seon Geun, insists on personally driving her home—an act that sparks suspicion. The wife begins to notice his peculiar attentiveness to her mother’s favorite foods and flowers, which the husband dismisses as part of his father’s colorful past. However, the façade shatters when the couple catches the two elders sharing wine in an intimate setting, completely disregarding the sick mother. Tension explodes as the father-in-law defensively justifies his behavior while the wife furiously condemns him for dragging her mother into scandal.
The tension reaches its peak in Couple Scandal 3: Forbidden Temptation as the couple faces yet another devastating revelation. Just when the dust appears to have settled, they catch the father-in-law and mother-in-law together outside a hotel, with him handing her a bouquet of yellow roses—her favorite. Their feeble explanation that they simply fell in love while consoling each other’s loneliness only deepens the family’s outrage. Though the pair vows to end the affair and restore harmony, the situation spirals further out of control. The husband’s suspicions soon turn toward his own wife after discovering unexplained shopping bags, accessories, and cryptic text messages. Driven by doubt, he installs hidden cameras, uncovering a new layer of betrayal that leaves him shattered. The explosive aftermath of these intertwined deceptions will unfold in the next episode of Couple Scandal 3: Forbidden Temptation, airing on Wednesday at 10 p.m. on GTV and Kstar.
