Pasta is getting more and more fetching as it goes along--the strength is the characters, rather than the plot or the cinematography, so the way it's unfolding makes a lot of sense.
It is, however, still a rare specimen in that way.
The one I've really been won over by is Secondary Lead Man San, who is decently matched against my top middle-aged crush by being more conventionally handsome, and having a voice not quite as distinctive but definitely in the running. I mean, if *I* was being playfully wooed by one and playfully tormented by the other, I would have a hard time picking, too...
One thing I like about him is you get this vibe that it's a crush that's lasted longer than he expected, and now they're in more direct contact it's getting swiftly worse. He's never been very serious, and his heartbreak is starting in realizing his mistake--how hard is that, realizing it's real because you've lost your chance? Yoo-Kyoung the adorable still treats him the same, and that makes it obvious she has no clue.
It's his own fine fault, but that don't ease the sting...
And I'm curious, watching him stew a bit, what he's going to do to make her realize. Man, we have 10 more episodes, though, so I'll keep still...
The female second lead is also rare, instead of being one of those venom-bots with no human motive in their mechanizations of EVIL

or even the more reasonable, but somehow surreal tenacity of Bitter Bitter Jealousy of less beautiful, less successful, but at least CHEERFUL people

we have a chick with long hair, a bright smile, a somewhat fluctuating motive, tho' her tenacity links her to the above sleek-coiffed Ambition Divas. I'm not sure what Secondary Girl wants from her Ex, because she's not really doing what anyone would call good at making up with him. She's said in the latest episode I watched that she wants to be acknowledged by him--with her history of getting ahead by betraying him, rather than being the best, she's probably trying to exorcise that.
Though it's hard to tell with an actress who just smiles in her incredibly adorable way to give punch to any line of significance, I'm thinking she's got this bulldozer way of proceeding, and so this is her way of making it up to herself.
And what's up with her and secondary lead Man?
Something else I'm halfway into the show and can't figure. I mean, Se-Young pretty much doesn't seem to see our Lead Girl as a threat at all, so it's kind of hard to tell which guy she'd be jealous over...
But, you know. These two are just going to end up together, so it doesn't really matter.
This is my own abysmal screencap, to get a shot of that mad fashionista scarf, but it really actually captures the charactters and their interactions so far REALLY well.
After the first episode he yelled in, his shouting is more an outburst of frustration now than terrorist tactics, so I'm okay with him. Not in love, but...
It doesn't matter, because Yoo-Kyoung is so adorable and yet strong that I'm happy every time he's nice to her and snicker every time he's mean and then smirks as soon as she's out of the room. And also, I want him to get over his past heartbreak.
