The hit K-Drama 'Tempest' is making waves following Episode 6, which broadcast a bed scene that has been dubbed the "sexiest ever" in Korean drama history by fans.

The political action-thriller, featuring Jun Ji Hyun as diplomat Seo Mun Ju and Kang Dong Won as top mercenary Paik San Ho, had audiences in suspense with its thrilling storyline about an assassination linked to both South and North Korea.
But the show surprised everyone when the melodramatic tension between the two leads was at an all-time high.
Last episode had a surprising bed scene between Seo Mun Ju and Paik San Ho. What was an initially heated kiss turned into a more ardent encounter, which has now become one of the hottest topics on social media, according to Koreaboo.
One viewer, commenting on X (formerly Twitter), described it as "the most romantic, sensual, and passion-filled scene I've ever seen in a K-Drama."

As the reactions kept flowing in, others appreciated the delivery by the actors and the production's sheer boldness.
"This wasn't what I expected from a show like Tempest," one viewer confessed, "but I'm not complaining."
Fans also applauded the show's willingness to push the boundaries of intimacy in a manner that is hardly ever seen in mainstream Korean dramas.
One Reddit user posted, "It's about time K-Dramas leaned into adult romance without being shy. This was tasteful, emotional, and powerful."
Although the show had already attracted attention based on its drama-filled storyline and heavy-hitting cast, the new development has sparked interest.
