Today, I was able to rekindle the reasons why I got so addicted to SHILLANG and BUIN.
I have always found myself hopelessly addicted to shows or dramas. I was into TV Dramas like ONE TREE HILL, GREY'S ANATOMY, GOSSIP GIRL, THAT 70'S SHOW and the likes, and then it went to Korean and Taiwanese Dramas. But, never did I follow a REALITY SHOW religiously. I often got so bored of them or disliked the twists and/or format that they take on, especially Pinoy reality shows.
I do not know, but for me, shows like that just become too scripted and forfeit the purpose of becoming a reality show—except maybe for this one.
Although I stopped watching after Shillang and Buin left the show, I have to admit that at the time they were both there, I was hooked.
Perhaps, Kim Hyunjoong's (or better known as Jihoo sunbae) looks (still with black hair) then got me thinking, HEY, THIS KID DIDN'T LOOK TOO GAY AFTER ALL. He had such a strong feminine touch when I first saw him in Boys over Flowers that I was so sure I would cross him out of my eye candy list. Apparently, he made it back just after watching ONE single WE GOT MARRIED EPISODE.
Maybe, because it was of Hwangbo. I never knew her before I started watching We Got Married, but now, I am such a big fan. I even think I am currently developing a major girl crush on her. I just could not help but admire the character she plays or is it her real personality?! On the many shows I have seen her on, I have come to conclude that she was not, is not and will never be the cutesy girl. She is one tough woman and through WGM, we all saw how capable she was of becoming the perfect wife.
WE GOT MARRIED is a segment of a Korean variety show. Celebrities are paired off and pretend they are married. Each week they are given tasks to accomplish together as a married couple.
My favorite couple, of course, is the SSANGCHU OR LETTUCE couple (Hyunjoong and Hwangbo—next in line, of course, is the ANT couple—Crown J and Seo Inyoung). I was not so keen on the idea of pairing off an older woman to a young boy. I've always been a skeptic to relationships like those, but oh well, they sure pulled through and proved to me that it can work, too.
I am not sure if it is just me, but sparks fly when I see Hyunjoong and Hwangbo. Despite the age difference, they seem really good together. AGH!!! Their personalities just seem to click!
I know there is a fine line between reality and fantasy, but I wish in my heart that they are together for real. I only discovered about WGM last May or June 2009, but I thought their air time was too short when they made an exit last December 2008. And when they said goodbye, I was heartbroken, too. When I was catching up WGM episodes with the SSANGCHU COUPLE, I was completely hooked to Youtube and MySoju. Like the other 'JOONGBOERS' out there, I thought there should have been more.
THIS MAY SOUND REALLY CRAZY, BUT I KNOW THEY ARE A COUPLE FOR REAL. So SS501 fans, please be kind to Hyunjoong's BUIN.
