If you are not very patient (like me), you could skip a few episodes in front and still be aware of the entire story line even towards the later half of the drama. As Eun Jae/Sohee carries out her revenge, you will see that it is related to the past events that has already happened in the earlier half of the drama which in my opinion, was too long (but not draggy, yet) for me.
Story 9/10
The story is a kind of cliche faithful wife who serves her husband's family despite their ill treatment... you kind of get the drift. But the excitement kicks in when Eun Jae/Sohee makes up her mind to return with a new identity for revenge after Gyo Bin pulled a failed attempt to murder her and her baby (only the baby is dead, but Gyo Bin doesn't know). Every single episode has you on the edge of your seat, relishing those moments where Ae Ri goes crazy as Gyo Bin cheats on her with his supposedly dead wife.
Acting/Cast 9/10
I deducted a point because of Ae Ri and the real Min Sohee. I simply cannot stand their characters and at some point I wish the scriptwriter will just kill them already. Then again, this goes to show how well every character portrays their role to have me as the viewer feel so much for them. Besides, all the awards that the actors swept due to this drama are enough to certify their skills.
Music 10/10
Can you not love the music? Enough said, every song has me hooked and I find myself replaying the songs even after I finished this drama. Can you believe it, I'm still not tired of the music after 129 episodes of it!
Rewatch Value 7/10
If you're asking me to rewatch episode 1 to 129... My answer would be a no, 129 episodes is simply too long. But I'll definitely be willing to revisit some episodes that were exciting for me.
Overall 9/10
If you have plenty of time on your hands (or if you simply crave some bad woman action), be sure to check out Temptation of Wife. It brings you through the most dramatic marriage life ever through Eun Jae's experiences and you simply cannot help but to feel sorry for her.

Story 7/10
I'm sure many would agree that all was fantastic before Da Dong vanished from the future and returned to his own time. And then, the story started going downhill from there. The twists in the plot were very much forced together and the abrupt change in their love interest was also fustrating. It's disappointing that a drama so hyped up and anticipated for turned out this way.
Cast 8/10
I have to say the cast has great chemistry, especially between Jiro Wang (Da Dong) and Ceng Pets (King/Lei Ting). I feel they portray their roles as leader of the class extremely well in their own ways.
Music 7/10
Ceng Pets is a great singer and her theme song (yi ge ren xiang zhe yi ge ren) for Da Dong was practically the fuel for me to continue watching till the end. On the flip side, I wish they changed up the closing song of the drama to suit the story line as King suddenly let go of her love for Da Dong. I mean, that song was for Da Dong and now that her love interest has changed, it did not make sense to play that song any longer.
Rewatch 6/10
Although the story line was frustrating for a Zhong Ji series lover like me, I have to admit the cast did a great job at portraying their roles. I started out watching this drama not knowing a single one of them except for Da Dong, Duan Chang Ren and Jin Bao San, but as the drama progressed I find myself accepting each and every character as well as the role that they play in class. However, this does not mean that I like how the plot headed enough for me to rewatch it. Perhaps I will when I run out of dramas, and rewatch only the first half of the story.
Overall 7/10
To end off this review, please pardon my fangirl rant:
I feel that I have been cheated to watch till the end of this drama. Why didn't I stop watching when Da Dong vanished from the future?!
Oh, a fangirl's frustrations...
