La Dolce Vita Episode 2

A further glimpse of our main characters

We are starting to delve a little deeper into the pasts of our characters and their motivations. I suspected that Hye Jin and Dong Won were a marriage of neccesity rather than out of love. But even then, there are signs that they were happy with each other. Dong Won is obsessive and a little prickly but not hateable at this point. Da Ae is a mystery at this point but I suspect we're going to find our about her in the next few episodes. This episode belonged to Jong Won, though. The friendly smile of his is clearly masking many painful, twisted array of stories and secrets, including a shocking borderline dangerous friendship with the man, soon to be known as, Sung-gu. Hye Jin's tempted by Jong Won, despite him following her around Japan, but she is hesistant and currently unfufilled by her current life, even before finding out about her Husband's affairs. It'll be keen to see what she decides to do. This is evidetly different than the usual drama structure.
