Joo Sang Wook, Choi Kang Hee, and Cha Ye Ryun are the Confirmed Leads of MBC’s Glamorous Temptation
There’s casting movement coupled with a major reversal for upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Glamorous Temptation. Earlier this week saw the casting of the teen leads Kim Sae Ron and Nam Joo Hyuk, roles that are less the typical child portion length but will be holding down the fort in the first 10 episodes of what is scheduled to be a 50 episode drama. Their casting has been received as a hit and a miss, and I feel the same way with the now revealed casting of the adult leads.
Joo Sang Wook and Choi Kang Hee are confirmed as the leads of Glamorous Temptation, with his casting a surprise because his name was not one of the rumored leads attached to the project and her casting an even bigger surprise since her side claimed she turned it down already. They will be playing the adult counterparts to Nam Joo Hyuk and Kim Sae Ron’s teen roles. Glamorous Temptation will follow the currently airing Splendid Politics (Hwajung) sometime in October and run for 50 episodes to end in March of 2016.
Rounding out the main love triangle will be perennial second female lead Cha Ye Ryun, who formed the life and love rivalry with Choi Kang Hee that will be the center of the story. Hopefully the adult second male lead will be someone that I love and thus give me incentive to check this drama out. Otherwise right now it’s a total pass for me based on the casting alone, not to mention the long length and makjang sounding synopsis.

So, NJH's characters will shorten 8cm when he become an adult. lol.
Haha very funny. Great casting for me, 100% glad to miss them all!
Looooooooooooool tha's really funny
maybe the tragedy that separates the otp as children is NJH's character getting some rare spinal disease that will make him shorter as an adult, and not telling kim sae ron.
Awful casting... I can already tell there won't be any chemistry between the lead pair.
I'm usually not too picky about the child actors having to look like the adults, but... NJH is super tall and lean and just does not look like Joo Sang Wook. I guess people do shrink in their old age...
And I agree, can't really see the chemistry with the adults, but I think the kids will work out all right. Though someone is still miscast here.
I'll probably check out the first 10 episodes. I do like JSW, but nah...
I like JSW too but not enough to watch it..though i liked CKH in HTH but still it won't make me watch another drama of her..pass
Ughhhh. Cannot stand Choi Kang Hee at all. Skipping.
Choi Kang Hee is a miss for me guess I'll pass on this drama unless it gets good ratings or very HIGH positive reviews...
Yikes Choi Kang Hee! Now all my initial interest fizzled for good. I guess I'll just tune in for the first 10 episodes of the young counterparts just to see my baby boy Nam Joo Hyuk then drop it. Sigh. I have a weak spot for Joo Sang Wook but Choi Kang Hee is a deal-breaker for me. I don't find her pretty nor charming at all. Sorry to her fans, I don't hate her but I just can't stand her on my screen so instead of ridiculing her, I'll just avoid her dramas and shut up.
Same here yo!!! I can't Stand Choi Kang hee. I just can't..... I'd just watch the paint dry off my walls instead
I can't stand Son Young Mok (the writer) -_-
Giving it a miss as well. Adults role played by JSW & CKH non incentive for 50-episode drama.
