Lee Dong-wook is a playboy and a snob
by javabeans
Law drama Partner really is promoting itself strongly, isn’t it? I suppose it doesn’t hurt that it’s got such good-looking actors (although, really, what kdrama doesn’t?).
Here we see some more photos of lead actor Lee Dong-wook as his playboyish, sarcastic lawyer character Tae-jo. Naturally he’ll clash with the quick-tempered but well-meaning Kim Hyun-joo, his snobbishness challenged by her down-to-earth personality.
Tae-jo is described as “making all the ladies’ hearts flutter” with his “arrogant way of speaking and attitude, and sly gestures.” Yeah, I can totally see it.

I agree, recently all I see in Lee Dong-wook is Mr. Sly-Playboy man. He really has that vibe...or at least plays that role really well ^.^
It terms of preformance, I loved him in Dolce Vita so I am super excited for this dramalama!!

I just have to say that I loved him in My Girl, and he wasn't playboyish here. But i think i will definitely enjoy him in Partner. I can't wait!

Hahahahaha, when I think about LDW playing a playboy, I can't help but have a flash of that imagination scene in My girl (episode 4 or 5, I think) where Gong Chan thinks Yoo Rin is avoiding him because she sees him a player!! I've seen that scene too many times, I guess! Too good!
:P

Hahahahaa..Lee Dong Wook is comin' back with playboy image..
Sometimes he just fits that image..Back to 2003 he played Song Do Il, a playboy, snobbish, and rich man..No wonder, he's gonna fit the new role..
I don't know if i will watch this drama since i'm not really into lawyer's story..
But anyway, good luck to you Lee Dong Wook..

Many snobby lawyers, but playboyish is a stretch. I'm a lawyer and most of my cohorts are not terribly attractive, sry2sy. Oh my people and your fantasies about professionals. You would think they would assume that people who had to study and slave away would be less attractive not more. OK, OK, I know, fantasy. But still, one feels the need to bring lawyers down a notch or three.

I wish he'd get a tan. He looks a little too pale and sickly.

If I didn't know better sometimes I would confuse Lee Dong Wook with SJ's Donghae. lol

I'm watching this for KHJ, I suffered thro a bit more of BOF watching her than I would otherwise. There's just sth in her acting that is very engaging and maybe it's because she does not overact, there's a genuine warmth she brings to her characters that speaks to me.
LDW, I'm not a fangirl, he did improve a lot in La Dolce Vita...but still, there's sth about his eyes that lacks an intensity. His stares at times feel blank, I can't really fish for what's going on with the character. I'll admit, I'm weird, esp when I do think he's very good looking at first glance but I lost interest watching his acting in MG.
I don't think he'll ever tan, him and Jung Il Woo. If they r doing a K remake of Twilight, those 2 r top choices.

Haha...that's funny about him being a good cast for Twilight. I was just going to say he seems pale, almost sickly not white. Then I read your post...and that just cap it all.
On another note, I don't know if the suits he wears are typical of what lawyers would wear. Striped tie and checkered shirt just does not seem to scream 'seriousness' or 'I'm going to beat you in court'. Am I wrong? How say you, lawyers?

I am so happy that Lee Dong Wook has a new drama. I watched La Dolce Vita and it was too dark for me.
Btw, he looks adorable in the first pic. :-)

"I don’t know if the suits he wears are typical of what lawyers would wear. Striped tie and checkered shirt just does not seem to scream ’seriousness’ or ‘I’m going to beat you in court’. Am I wrong?"
I am actually just trying to wrap my brain the idea of korean fashion and satorial style to begin with, much less figure out what lawyers should or shouldn't wear. For example, I still have diffculty with all the fur lined clothes that Wookie and Junki were wearing in My Girl, and I personally don't like the idea of wearing blazers with tanktops underneath that seems to be the rage. And the tie pins with the little chains worn by Ji Sung in Save The Last Dance really was a puzzler to me.
To answer your question though, at least for lawyers I know, nobody goes to court. I spend maybe 2% of my time in court. So, my dress reflects merely what is comfortable and what is appropriate for a business environment. Suits and ties when needed, buttondowns and slacks when we can get away with it.
But, actually, the more I learn about style, the more I figure out that my opinion means less and less. And so, I think I'll just nod and say general pleasantries about other people's style from now on. After all, what do I know - not much. I dress as my wife finds appropriate, with a lot of pastels for weekend wear and making sure not to have stripes against patterns for the work week, and not be too matchy-matchy.
