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”)

I can’t express how much I’m absorbed in this drama now, but yeah, so glad to know what despite the low ratings, this series has seriously and steadily captured my attention every single weekend. La Dolce Vita ROCKS! If you haven’t started watching this series, then you’re missing out BIG TIME.
Hands down to the write, Mr. Jung Ha Yeon, whom I just read that he’s not only a male writer, but for someone pass 65 to write so good about these characters (especially Da Ae), that is indeed beyond amazing. And apparently he hasn’t lost his ‘touch’ yet after the famous Shin Don (61 episodes, historical drama, which WITH S2 is currently subbing also as a side project.)
I’m so impressed at the progress of this series, and episode 8 captured me so much that I couldn’t choose only 20+ screencaps. So I went ahead and did around 30′ish for this one episode.

The more I see it, the more I admire Oh Yeon Soo’s beauty and that new short hairstyle she had for this drama. I’ve been following her dramas for the past years, and right from the start, I fell in love with her acting.
She’s really a great actress, especially with this kind of role. I feel like I’m being absorbed in the story and her character, Hye Jin, from a woman’s point of view. Though I’m not married yet, it gave me something to think about marriage life and living with a spouse like Dong Won must’ve been such a stressful thing for any married woman.
Episode 7 shows us more about Hye Jin and Joon Soo’s relationship, and in this episode, we got to see more about Detective Park and his past.

I couldn’t resist not to put this picture as the front image for this episode *chuckle*
Darn, by midway of watching this episode last Sunday, I got soooo hungry and now I’m craving for this spagetti lookin’ thing (alfredo sauce? with shrimps? ooh-lala~)
Anyway. La Dolce Vita ROCKS. Seriously.
I had my reservations at first and I didn’t want to blabber too much about it, but definitely, I’m hooked. There’s something about this series that is really very intriguing. Though the theme is very adult-like, and not many viewers will like this kind of theme. Some may hate it a lot, since there’s deception, cheating spouses and whatnot, but there’s another element to the story that I find it very unique.
Some drama it is, and it’s written across and all over the story, but yet, there’s always room to explore in each episode.

Episode 5 was obviously a showcase for Jeong Bo Seok’s character (sorry, I think I messed up on his name before. His name is Ha Dong Won, not Dong Wook, so it’ll be corrected from now onwards.) And though I have never seen him in any drama before this one — apparently he was in the KBS2 historical drama “Dae Jo Young”, after episode 5, I’m really quite impressed at his acting. Playing as a scumbag husband, a loving father, yet very rich and successful in his career, usually tends to make me despise the character no matter what. But Dong Won is actually an interesting character, and the most important thing is that he’s smart and manipulative. He seems to know what he’s doing and him playing with ‘fire’ is not that he did it recklessly.
In short, Ha Dong Won rocked this episode, and his sleazy character is getting more and more interesting. This episode brought us even more closer to each character, and especially zooming in more to his character as a husband, a father and a man.
Thumbs up, episode 5 is such a great one that I was pretty much intrigued again to keep on following this series. (despite of the low ratings it’s been getting every week. Sigh. I guess ahjumma dramas are still the #1 watched TV drama in Korea. Though I’m glad, SBS weekend drama “Happiness” which I’ve been watching all this while is placed second to KBS2 weekend killer ratings “Angry Mom”)
