Lee Dong Wook, the man behind this cool shades, I must say he has taken a great challenge by taking up the role of Joon Soo. Very complex, but yet still appears as Mr. Softie when it comes to women, especially to those who matters to him. Who exactly belongs in his heart? Da Ae? or Hye Jin? A question that is still a mystery to me, though we’ve passed halfway through our La Dolve Vita journey.
Episode 13 is like a snowball rushing down from the mountain top as it reveals a great heart-opening revelation through each of the characters. Superb episode!

I love this shot. ㅋㅋㅋ So seductive and alluring…
Big props to both of them as always. Park Shi Yeon has that soft aura within her so when she becomes Da Ae, though it’s a bit complicated to mix the two characters, Da Ae and Joon Soo have that special bonding between them. And up until now, I’m still not 100% sure that these two (Da Ae and Joon Soo) are obviously madly in love with each other, especially when Hye Jin came into the picture (plus there’s Dong Won on the side too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ)

Despite of all the seriousness and dark atmosphere in this drama, I’m glad they inserted this lasagna-making scene at Da Ae’s place because we get to see how comfortable they can be around each other. Lee Dong Wook and Park Shi Yeon have worked together before in “My Girl” so I guess it’s easier for them to break the barrier.

For a young, sophisticated, yet very complex character like Da Ae, I must say Park Shi Yeon nailed it successfully. Different than her previous roles, I can actually see there’s a solid development in the character that makes Da Ae interesting to observe. Her indecisiveness but yet, very witty and alluring, can make a smart guy like Dong Won willing to jeopardize his marriage to be with this girl.
What makes Da Ae so attractive? I sometimes ask. A girl like Da Ae, though can be hated by housewives, and envied by single women, she knew just how to be herself and still be lovable. In episode 10, I’m surprised to see more stories between her and Joon Soo. And of course, there’s a surprise at the end which makes it a perfect cliffhanger for this weekend’s episodes.

Joon Soo is one complicated character, isn’t he?
No wonder Lee Dong Wook said this is the hardest role he ever got so far, and as the story progresses, I’m still 50-50 about how exactly Joon Soo feels about Da Ae (including his recent ’stalker’ activities towards Hye Jin). But one thing for sure, I think Lee Dong Wook did a great job here, especially when he has to potray certain insanity level being given a past like that (I’ll explain more later in episode 10), and because the script is this good, it seems like all the cast are doing one heck of a marvelous job. (Yes, including the dead guy, Seong Gu, in which the actor appears in the new KBS drama, “Women in the sun”)
