Lee Jae Wook Captures A Brilliant Architect Caught Between First Love And Unfinished Time In “Last Summer”
A poised, quietly aching performance anchors the drama’s rekindled-first-love storyline.
“Last Summer” charts two childhood friends who uncover the long-buried truth behind their first love. Lee Jae Wook steps in as Baek Do Ha, a prodigious architect with razor-sharp focus and a carefully guarded heart, while Choi Sung Eun plays Song Ha Gyeong, a civil servant dreaming of life beyond her hometown.
In the latest episode, Do Ha returns to Patan Village for the first time in two years, setting the stage for an emotional reunion with Ha Gyeong after 17 years apart. Lee balances a playful, love-hate rhythm with a hushed current of yearning, letting pauses and glances speak to the years they lost.
He embodies the polish of an architect educated abroad—precise, composed, and effortlessly refined—while revealing the fractures beneath that cool exterior. Small shifts in tone and gaze track Do Ha’s inner turmoil, adding texture and authenticity that deepen the drama’s slow-blooming tension.
With this layered portrayal, Lee lays strong groundwork for a story about memory, regret, and the courage it takes to revisit a first love.
“Last Summer” airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m. KST. Ready to start? The first episode is currently available with subtitles on Viki.
