I’m always impressed when an actor can do both protagonist and antagonist roles well. What’s more if it’s a young actor.

Lee Jae Wook has the type of face which can fit both extremes well and the ability to pull it off. I didn’t even recognize cutie pie Ji Hwan as rogue Marco in MoTA(he fitted the role of a rather Japanese looking gamer programmer so well!).

All of 21 years old, Lee Jae Wook more than sold me Ji Hwan’s cute romance with Cha Hyun. So age and age gap aren’t issues when you have the right people.

The best part is even though I am loving Jae Wook’s Ji Hwan now, I know I will hate him when he plays a villain. Now, that’s really something.

    @Cloggie I am all caught up with WWW now. I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat during the entire ‘confession’ scene.

      that confession scene was awesome. Even more so because he didn’t tell a single lie during it… And that they were holding hands at the time.

    I think Hyun Bin started a management company to grow some talent and LJW is one of the actors. Good eye, Hyun Bin.

      Oh, is that why he was cast in MoTA? He is such a rookie, I can’t believe this is just his 2nd drama!

      I looked for versatility in an actor and he seems to be quite a chameleon.

    He was Marco in MoTA? Wow!!! He’s such a versatile actor! I didn’t even think that was him. Yep. He’s basically palying three roles in this drama and he nails them!
