Background & production 
Sweet Temptation is a joint venture between South Korea and China. It was co-produced by Naver TV, MBK Entertainment and SBS The show and was scheduled to air in both countries. 6 posters were released to promote the show, one for each T-ara member and her co-star. In August 2015, when T-ara was preparing for their comeback, Brave Brothers' "So Crazy" and Shinsadong Tiger's "1,2,3" competed for the title song, but "So Crazy" received more votes, while "1,2, 3" was used as the opening and closing theme of the drama. However, the song was never officially released on any platform. Due to high complaints, T-ara members spoke about the issue and revealed that they thought the song was already released. In 2021, during their 10th anniversary Live on VLive, Eun-jung revealed that she would think about releasing the song in the future. On August 13, the drama premiered at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea and was attended by the cast and staff. Soundtrack
