These adorable snapshots come to us courtesy of the wrap party for Playful Kiss. You gotta have a wrap party, even if the drama continues on with the 9 Youtube episodes.
I love peeking at wrap party pictures – you can always tell if the OTP really have chemistry in real life based on how much fun they are having with each other after the drama has wrapped.
It definitely looks like everyone is having fun, and our OTP are as comfortable with each other as it comes across on camera. But please, someone, anyone, can you tranquilize Kim Hyun Joong? That boy needs to sleep for at least a good week, undisturbed. It pains me to see how exhausted he looks. Poor boy, he really needs more rest.
As adorable as they look below, it makes me sad we never got to see our Seung Jo and Ha Ni have their first baby. I’m hoping we get to see some happy expanded family scenes in the Youtube episodes.

Lovely photos of so lovely people. Thanks. I will miss PK, the leader, JSM, the young Baek and even the lovable mom! I hope to see them again and I hope Group 8 make similar drama soon. Thanks for this nice blog. I never fail to read it each time a new one comes.
Whaaaa, they look like family together.. so comfortable.
BSJ&BEJ are sweetness!
after getting used to her face, JSM turns out to be such a beauty!!
however much I crave updates about KHJ, I do wish he'll get some rest (and be able to take the rest)... *sigh*
they look like a family..hahahahhaha
eun jo look like they're son..hahahaha
thank you ockoala..love it..keep up the good work and morew powers..
i always check this site to know the latest update about this two couple...
we really miss them..so much
SO CUTE!! you know a drama succeeded when I seriously wish they could be family for real...
but yes, leader should get some rest... i've been saying it since the early episodes but the poor guy looks seriously drained.
and Jung so min is so so so pretty!! i don't think i ever thought an actress to be as adorable as JSM, not even the minah even thought she is the cutest gumiho ever...
kk. and won hong looks so adorable!! i really wish he'll grow up and overcome his child actor status cuz i want to see more of him in the future!
PK family daebak!
I love the pictures! I hope they show more. They do look like a family! I'm a fan a both Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So min! Choi Won Hong is so cute! I hope they do a lot of promotions internationally!!! Excited for the you tube episodes! :-) Thanks again!
Ockoala, Kim Hyun Joong has really bad insomnia, so it's not just the work sched but his own body reacting to stress. I'm just happy this filming went off without a hitch; no auto accidents, no fainting, no pill overdoses. Good GOD you don't know how hard I was praying--for real. I'm going to write an awesome thank you letter to KeyEast for taking care of him, the production company and the fans.
I had the same worries. Kid is ridiculous with his work schedule.
:sigh: his life's motto: "Do everything in one punch" was it? :shakes head: I have the same concern about Youngbae, but the only difference is HJ likes to internalize and store everything in... but at least YB has this spiritual outlet... :(
btw, the puffy eyebags make him look like awesome actor Park Haejin. <3
they look so adorable together even not as baek seung jo and oh hani!
it seems like they are having fun!!!
eun jo is really the cutest and seem close to his seung jo hyung!
im missing them so much!!!!!
nov 02, can you please come earlier!
i badly needed my dose of PK!
SJM IS GLOWING LIKE SOMEONE'S IN LOVE. PLEASE DATE YOU TWO
I know fans like to imagine the OTPs to get together in real life.. what with the Joongbo-ers going berserk in other forums during PK airing... eeep, but if KHJ is gonna date every actress he's ever worked or gonna work together.. then he's not as professional as he should be.. :P
But if it's true love.. like Jang Dong-gun and Go So-young.. then I'm all for his happiness.. of coz ~~
HAHAHA
what you said made me LOLed so hard because that's exactly what I had in mind without realizing it.. with the exception of GHS and his cfs partners, all the girls he worked with, even ryeo won, I wanted him to date them.. kk
I don't mind if it's just fangirling over the OTP (God knows I do that a lot too).. but I stumbled on some Joongbo-ers' comments that, thinking about it, still creeps me out. Please don't let those psychos near KHJ or JSM/any girl he works with who's not Hwangbo... -____-
yeah... for me, it's just entertainment and wishful thinking... i do realize the guy / girl have their own mind on who they want to be with... and I'm not confusing what's a job to them as reality, even if it does have some real feelings involved... I have seen those joongboers comment as well, lamenting on the fact that jsm and khj were too close to each other and some even bashed JSM (that baffles me.. imo, she's so unhatable) ... i mean, khj needs to work, he can't just be exclusively reserved for hwangbo. even though i love the ssangchu couple, i don't feel like i have to right to own them.
GOODNESS THE "ESSAY" I WROTE GOT DELETED! T_T
(retypes)
I feel like a bad human being when fellow Joongbo-ers attest to the "apparent" exclusivity of Hyunjoong to Hwangbo. I will use a throw back song, "How To Deal" by Frankie J, to help my argument.
Fans have to realize that Hyunjoong, though having hit stardom with SS501, reached a new level with Hwangbo in WGM. However, irregardless of the bond they shared in WGM, we must realize that HJ has his own dream he's trying to attain in the Industry. "Do I go on and pursue my lifetime dream?
I gotta do this for me" While HB was able to help him with his dream that by no means his dreams are irrevocably changed by her. She and other people may have helped shape it, but I'm sure because it's his conviction it hasn't changed.
Going further, "How do you deal with The fact that you had a chance But you chose to turn away for your career". I've read that WGM slated the Ssangcho couple end around Feb '09 instead of Dec '08. It was a sad parting to us because we saw how well they developed and it was short lived because of the drama filming. In the end it was a prudent decision on both their parts to go focus fully on the tasks at hand.
Another point: "To be in this industry Money, shows, and hoes come along with luxury and pain." Hwangbo said it so poignantly after their "Manager for a Day Mission". "...it felt nice coming home to someone other than pets...it makes me feel as if all the hard work was worth it...this is what Shillang meant by the comfortable life." The Industry is filled with people seeking fulfillment, some gain it some don't, which is sad. They're as tired, lonely, as the rest of us, but they've got more pressure because on slip up and all their hard work bites the dust. I'll use Tablo's controversy as an example; one day he's on top and the next he's dragged through the mud thanks to one idiotic notion.
"But this is the life that I was given So I have to live it to the fullest". This is by far a close contextual interpretation of Hyunjoong's "live life in one punch" motto. He needs to fulfill his dreams, and to be honest, I don't think his dreams are fully realized yet. He said that after acting, and being in a band, he just wants to perform with his guitar, sitting on a stage, drinking alcohol with his fans. (Rocker, much?)
I'm a Hyunjoong fan first and foremost, and although Joongbo is a happy place for me, I feel (and I'll use a politically acceptable word--) miffed by my fellow Joongbo-ers at times. It's fine spazzing and speculating, it's quite fun. But harbouring a two year notion? At some point either you take it as a grain of salt, or you get enveloped by the idea. It's basically projecting one's self onto another person. But HJ's got a face, he's got passions, dreams, and cares like any other person.
Sorry for the essay. I felt really strongly about this.
I'm sorry your essay got deleted... I know how it feels -_-".. and I'm so impressed you came up again with a really well-formed and well-written essay, no quotations marks needed.
It's okay to feel strongly about this... I love KHJ but I can't claim to be either a TripleS, or a hyunnie or perfect, nor am I a true joongboer... However, I consider joongboers as my "friends" I can chat happily with so it makes me upset sometimes how some, a minority but still a substantial portion, of them make joongboers appear like unreasonable fanatics... Of course, it's thank to fans like you that make we see it's not the case.
And like you said, leader has his own dreams and I'm sure fans are important but he can't just base every single ones of his actions on fans... besides, you can never please everyone. And yes, hwangbo helped him in his path but that's no reason to stay behind and hang onto it. He has to and can do what he thinks is best for his own satisfaction.
LOL.. don't even get me started on the whole Tablo isssue... I'm still baffled that some individuals like that exist on this planet... I can even begin to fathom what on earth goes through their mind. Sometimes, I tend to think there's another side to the story but the guy didn't even REGRET anything...
anyways, back to topic, point is, let's not take this whole pairing thing too seriously. It's fun but at the end of the day, it's their lives, not ours.
can't begin to fathom, not can begin...
@v, @JJ.
Well said, ladies. While I may swoon over our Lettuce couple and engage in "wild fancy" over what could be, I also love them both as individuals (maybe KHJ a little bit more than HB) to wish them nothing but the best in their careers and loves.
The way I see it, JoongBo in WGM is like one of my favorite books. I pull it out and re-read it every now and then, laugh (or cry) at certain parts...actually more laughing, especially with KHJ's unforgettable lines (i.e. "Do you want me to wear my boxers and nothing else then?") but that's it. To think in terms of exclusivity is futile and would certainly not do me or them any good.
Its their story that I love more than anything else. And although that chapter is now closed, it also doesn't mean that I can't go back and enjoy re-reading it. :)
kk. well, i think i might be natural for us to love khj a little more than hb.. after all, he has a natural and natural advantage over her where we're concerned... (i assume we're all girls here.. haha).
your analogy about the book is brilliant! well said!
and for me, in the boxer matter, my fav line is actually, "it would have meant trouble if I really wore my boxers" it gets me EVERY TIME.
I second this analogy. Forgive me if I was coming off too strong or "ridged". I am all for fun, really I am. But I've got this low threshold for the ridiculous, contextual and not saying that people are ridiculous. -_- I <3 my joongbo friends, my sister's a joongbo-er before she is a Hyunjoong fan, FYI.
@J.J..... very well said!
@JJ yeah well said indeed!
I loved 4D Shillang and Hwang Buin in WGM, but honestly, I can't see them as a real life coupe... however much I love them together... But if they are... that will only be nice, because despite my deep fandom love for our Leader, i do wish him (and HB) all the love he (/they) could master to find in this world... be it in each other or somebody else. For me, that is true love from a fan, to wish your idol eternal happiness!
LOL thank you for liking my "essay" I did it right after waking up. It's quite a feat when I'm coherent right after waking, but it's all for the sake of clarity.
I like clarity.
The little boy who plays Eun-jo is SO ADORABLE sitting on his hyung's lap. Seriously. The pictures of them together make me grin from ear to ear. Thanks, ockoala, for taking the time to upload these. Since I don't speak/read Chinese, I've definitely benefitted from you putting up stuff from the Chinese fans on your blog. A big, resounding "thank you!" from me. :)
