No doubt in my mind – the cutest onscreen couple I have ever watched in any K-drama. Oh, bring on the pitchforks people. As much as I unabashedly love Kim Hyun Joong–Jung So Min in Playful Kiss, the natural acting talent of Jang Geun Seok and Moon Geun Young vaults this onscreen duo to the forefront of the pack. Now that the KBS Drama Awards are over, I’ve finally compiled a set of stills from the awards that show how adorable the Geun-Geuns were during the ceremony.
It’s too bad that Kim Hyun Joong and Jung So Min barely interacted during the MBS Drama Awards the day before, because it’s always a treat to watch a beloved onscreen couple reunite in real life. Especially dressed to the nines and looking so gorgeous together. Sigh, I don’t envy the next actress that gets to act with Jang Geun Seok – I am going to have a hard time not comparing her to Moon Geun Young.
I really don’t care that the plot of Mary Stayed Out All Night went to hell in a handbasket. A week later, all I can remember are the sweetest of moments between Mu Gyul and Mae Ri. That’s a wonderful feeling, none of the bitterness, all of the happiness it brought me.
I’m waiting for my M3 Part II OST to arrive in the mail. The fact that I went ahead and bought it when I declined to buy Part II of the You’re Beautiful OST speaks volumes about how much I adore this coupling. I also have selective amnesia, and am able to block out everything crappy about M3, retaining only what I love. I suggest all M3-fans develop this ability ASAP.
It was also reassuring to see them both enjoying themselves during the awards ceremony. Joking, laughing, and generally in a happy mood. Especially after the insanity that was the M3 shoot for the last few weeks.
I still get bombarded with people shrieking when they find out that the new writer intended to kill Mu Gyul off in episode 15 of M3. The evil part of me now wonders what type of fan-pocalypse the writer would have created had she accomplished her goal?
When Moon Geun Young won the Top Excellence Actress Award for her performance in Cinderella Unni, the picture below is the look on Jang Geun Seok’s face as he watched her give her acceptance speech. Tenderness, happiness, and a sense of pride for his co-star. I am not fanning any shipping flames, only noting that they really seem to be friends now in real life, which is really lovely to see since they just seemed to melt so naturally into each other onscreen as Mu Gyul and Mae Ri.
I clearly haven’t moved on from my Geun-Geun love, and unlike PK, which gave me seven additional Youtube episodes to spend with Ha Ni and Seung Jo, I’ve been left in a lurch from abrupt M3 withdrawal. Here’s to hoping that 2011 brings great personal and professional accomplishments for the two actors who took me for a wild and joyous ride.
Can I just end with a teasing aside? They really are coordinated so perfectly – it looks like they are headed to get married. 🙂 Lots of folks still post comments about how much people are missing our Holiday Couple. You’re not alone. Me, too.
So there are new posters, stills, and a first teaser out already for modern C-drama…
This is an interesting twist on what sounds like a standard legal K-drama, the male…
So Xu Kai is back in period drama land and has a new actress costar…

yeaaaaahhh...finally!! another post on the Geuns, gomawooooo
YAY!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaaaaawwwwww you're not alone, I've been unfaithful to GMN/HTK *sigh* these two, they just look perfect, and they really look like a married couple loool *hides*
You've been unfaithful? I tried to rewatch YB and had to stop because I felt like JSG/Mu Gyul was cheating on MGY/Mary!! I'm glad I'm not the only one with issues....
huaaa...LizzyD you know I don't watch YAB or JGS other drama because I felt like he's cheating on MGY/Maeri..ahaha yep I felt the same, if MGY playing with other I'm a bit okay because she never have the best chemistry with other that her Happy New Year
LizzyD, I think you are a fan of Shin Hye but I saw a picture of her in a wedding dress, no competition, MGY wins it hands down.
OMG.. That's how i felt as well.. at first i want to see again JGS in You're Beautiful but then it's not appealing anymore compared to M3.. It's like i'd rather watch M3 over and over again just to see GeunGeun Couple chemistry.. <3
I just love them...
Someone please tell me if they are really a couple
are they really in a relationship ???? I do hope they are.
Someone please, anyone please tell me that they are !!!!!
I wish them real couple too..lets cross our finger together..ehehehe some said that if many people pray for one thing, that might be happening...
Well Done! that's positive thinking working on you and everyone else here, I believe..
No, cause he wouldn't act the way he's been in Thailand if he were in a relationship with anyone. The boy is wild. They even put a silencer on all his fans cause too much stuff was leaking that could be negative to him in Korea. But I am sure they will remain friends.
rory's mom,
really? what kind of stuffs?
LOLZ rory's mom, how do you know these things?? ^O^ Amazing... especially considering you live that far away from the center of the action ;P
they are really couple,,,I just love them...
LOVE THE BIG PICTURE OF THEM... You're the best Koala ! you with your love to them is representative of our LOVE to THEM too.. mmuaahhh
Ahhhhh thanks so much...I was hoping some of m3 left over and I'm glad you come up with this...can you put link where they received the best couple awards???me want to watch it....aaahhhh I miss GeunGeun couple a lot...want to see them again...can't they make like special episode like PK???oh I would pay billions to make that happen..too sad I don't have billions in my account..ahaha
Madame Koala,
You have earned my eternal devotion for this post. I don't love you like Mu Gyul loves his Mary Christmas, but it's getting up there. :P Tomorrow is to be the day I assigned myself to disembark the Holiday Ship, so I am very happy you provided this opportunity to squee one last time (until the DVD is released heehee.). You are completely right in that all the lovely little holiday moments outshone the production craziness. That said, there are also some scenes I watch, while fingering my blunt butter knives....
I've also decided that these two are dating in real life and I'm saving up my money for the plane ticket to crash their wedding in Korea sometime later this year. :)
i swear LizzzyD, you crack me up. : ) and thanks Koala for your post.
Thank goodness lizzyd, you're more extreme than I am.. but I thought YOU are his girlfriend :P
LOOOOL that's the JGS effect for you ;)
they are dating...it's just that they need time to rethink again in real life...perhaps a short of time separate from each other will make them realize they love each other like what happen to Hyun Bin and Song Gye Hyo..and when I'm hoping my fave OTP become a couple most of the time it happen like when I want Vic Zhou and Barbie tsu in Mars (sadly they break up at the moment), Hyun bin and Song Gye Hyo,
so lets keep praying and I'm sure we can be sure that we can hear good news a year from now....a wedding invitation maybe????
he he he
Your wish may just come true 'cos I gather JGS likes older girls and perhaps, MGY would suit him to a T 'cos she is about 3months older than he is!!! Am sure all of you are aware that dear MGY made him mittens. Have not heard of his other co-stars making anything for him with personal touch like our cutie MGY. She is definitely a notch up above the rest.
I know it's wishful thinking but guess, you never know. Maybe, they need some time of separation like HB and SHK. Like the saying goes, "Absence Makes The Heart Grows Fonder" Let's keep our fingers crossed, shall we?
awww, cute. I sadly gave up on M3 after ep 13 or so, but thanks to your recaps i at least know what happened. damn shame, but hopefully their next project will be better. I'd love to see them do a movie together in a couple of years - it could be amazing!
p.s. i read about plans to kill off MuGyul. My thoughts - had the writer laid a decent foundation, *maybe* it could have worked. but it would have been like jumping a whale, as the show had already jumped the shark multiple times over. *sigh* i'm gonna go listen to My Precious and think happy thoughts.
now am also looking forward to your blogs of the geun geun couple! I have been a fan of moon geun young but i never link her to anyone not until i saw mary stayed out all night and learned of the promise they once made when they were still young (saw that too) they are good friends offscreen and I was glad that mgy accepted the role of mary i was surprised to learn that JGS shouted hooray when MGY accepted the role, although she's someone you will really hope to pair with because she's a very good actress. Sad that MSOAN ended already but I still watch it on cable channel, after the kbs drama awards am looking and searching for more new stories about them...there are many detractors of the geun geun couple because of the PSH/JGS tandem, I just hope they'll understand, I hope they'll end up together in real life for MGY doesn't want to get married if at the age of 25 she will not still meet the man of her dreams, i hope JGS will see through MGY beauty the kind of the girl he's looking for. Thank you for the update and don't stop researching for will always want to update what's new about the couple.
Hello Patch,
Wow love the way u describe MGY and JGS - - i agree with you love them so much
when watch MSOAN and so far all the dramas i hv seen , they are the most compatible couple in Korea. Thank God both MGY and JGS agree to act together and they hit so will I praying hard that they will appear together in movies and dramas and may they again win the best couple and excellent acting awards together. Me too love updates of them if any.
Lets cross our fingers for both of them to in love in real life. Fighting
