On September 17, 2025, Disney+ released episodes 4 and 5 of Tempest. By the end of episode 5, the chemistry between Mun-ju (Jun Ji-hyun) and bodyguard San-ho (Gang Dong-won) intensifies when the two kiss. The scene sparked backlash, as it came only days after her husband Jun-ik was assassinated in a church.
However, many viewers defended the moment, pointing out that her husband had been a "cheater." Episode 4 revealed that Jun-ik already had a mistress, Kang Ha-na, with whom he fathered a nine-year-old child. His family, including his grandmother and mother, showed support for the relationship as well.
"I screamed when they kissed 😭 like her cheater husband doesn’t deserve her loyalty like that. tbh she should kiss her bodyguard moree #tempest," an X user commented.i screamed when they kissed 😭 like her cheater husband doesn’t deserve her loyalty like that. tbh she should kiss her bodyguard moree #tempest
Others are criticizing her husband's character, alleging he cheated on Mun-ju for political gain, with many questioning whether he deserves to be grieved, given his betrayal.
HE HAS A WHOLE CHILD WITH HIS MISTRESS TOO LIKE 😭
The same husband that had another family??? Please leave her alone
The marriage was already broken even before he died. He's a purposed cheater, not just some 'accidental cheating by being drunk case'. He deliberately cheated on her, even knowing she would have allowed him to divorce her. He still keep the dead marriage for political images.
Meanwhile, others are celebrating the kiss, saying that regardless of her husband's past actions, she deserves happiness. Her "chemistry" with San-ho has left many in awe.
I once saw a kiss post before the kissing scene actually aired. And I felt kinda guilty thinking her husband died and what's going on? But after witnessing today's EP. They should do much more than kiss. 🙂↕️❤️🔥
SQUEALING, GIGGLING, TWIRLING MY HAIR, BLUSHING, SCREAMING INTO PILLOWS, RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE, HIDING FACE INTO HANDS, TEARS IN EYES, KICKING MY FEET IN AIR! THEY KISS! THEY F*CKING KISS AHH I'M GOING FERAL #Tempest #TempestEp5
The build up to the kiss was INSANEEEEEEEE 🔥 #Tempest #TempestEp4
