Their First Meeting

Their first meeting was on Jeju Island (Jejudo), their supposedly honeymoon. :) It was probably an arranged meeting. However, they have no idea whom they’re being partnered with. Finally, they saw and greeted each other (awkwardly ofcourse lol). On the interview room KHJ said: “I really didn’t think that it would be HwangBo noona (older sister). I thought that it would be a cute girl. But when I saw HwangBo noona, It was really unexpected.” HwangBo Hye Jung (HBHJ) started clapping with a big smile on her face and said: “How do I say this…I won the lottery?” They were very awkward while driving to their destination. They talked about the year they were born, how they would call each other, that the husband needs to earn lots of money and if the husband will do everything a girl tells him to do. It is like the wife is investigating the husband’s personality… He said that he wont do ridiculous things like give me the stars in the sky… to him that’s very cheesy/annoying (and perhaps unrealistic).

When they got to their honeymoon suite, the wife brought out lots of shirts. She wants both of them to wear it. But since the husband didn’t like cheesy things like wearing couple shirts, he fix/reformed (as per translation) the shirt so as not to look like couple shirts.

After that scene, they went to a fishing trip. They fished for 6 hours and didn’t catch any. Since they didn't catch anything, the husband had prepared a dinner for two (provided by the yacth). My fave scene here is their "love shot" :)

This Is It !

Since I hibernated for a very long time in blogging, I'm sure no one's reading my posts anymore. That's okay... I just had the urge to revive/update my blog because of the reality show I came to enjoy and one of the couples in it that I came to adore and love. I wanted to write/document everything I could about them and be able to go back and read it over and over again till I'm 90 years old (that is if Blogger is still alive and kicking) :P Anyways, the reality show is called We Got Married, sometimes it's We Just Married. It was first broadcast in 2008. The show pairs up Korean celebrities to show what life would be like if they were married. Each week, couples are assigned missions to complete, with candid interviews of the participants to reveal their thoughts and feelings. All of the recorded material is then played in front of the participants (the celebrity couples), MCs, and audience who add commentary or clarification. We Got Married, as far as I know, is not scripted. So the dialogues/conversations between couples, their gestures to each other, or whatever actions they do on the show was all on them. The only thing that is probably "scripted" there was their budget, their concept of the day and probably where they stayed :)

Here's a photo of my favorite couple:

The Wife: Hwangbo Hye Jung 

The Husband: Kim Hyun Joong 

They first appeared on the show on May 11, 2008. Hwangbo Hye Jung is six years older than Kim Hyun Joong, hence, they are called the older/younger couple. Honestly, I was not interested at first because I felt like they were not paired well. One of my friends even commented that she's not pretty enough for KHJ...However, after watching just the first episode, I got hooked. Why? I am not sure why...
