Fan-Fiction: When Kang Mu Gyul Met Hwang Tae Kyung

SO. ADORABLE. I spent this afternoon reading, with the world’s silliest grin on my face, a fan-fiction done by a Baidu netizen called Xiao Mao, who postulated what would happen if Kang Mu Gyul were to meet Hwang Tae Kyung and write songs for him to sing. Yup, the what-if story is pretty much as cute as the concept – with the boys not liking each other at first (so arrogant, each thinks of the other), reluctantly accepting each other’s musical talent, moving in with each other to produce an album while poor Mi Nyeo moves in with Mae Ri temporarily, and both couples becoming friends and learning from each other.

The reason I even came across this fan fiction, which Xiao Mao narrated using pictures from both You’re Beautiful and Mary Stayed Out All Night, as well as BTS pictures from both drama, was because my SIL just watched YB after the entire world has pretty much watched it.

She wanted to chat about it with me, so in talking about YB, I realized that I really did love this drama so much until the last few episodes which let me down. But with time, I only remember the wonderful times spent with A.N.Jell.

My love for M3 remained strong from beginning to end. I hope that for those who felt let down by M3’s crazy second half, perhaps time will also temper your disappointment and you will only leave with the sweetest of memories from watching Mu Gyul and Mae Ri’s love story.

  • Oh Koala, you just cant get over with M3 do you?
    Well, so do I! >_<
    Thanks for sharing this.
    Love it. <3

    • No, it's still ongoing. I could do it, but I'm too lazy. :-P

      I gotz zee President calling me. Perhaps when the story finishes, and I find some free time in an alternate universe, I'll translate the entire thing. It's fluffy cuteness, very spare in details but high on the probability meter.

  • Dear Koala,

    Might too much to ask but can u please translate the fanfic for us who cant read chinese?
    thanks..

  • What a special treat! Thanks ockoala for this new post...I'm under the weather but seeing this new post gave me energy. Oh, the creativity of YB and M3 fans is just amazing! :) Will patiently wait for your translation of the fan-fiction story.

    While waiting...HTK meets KMG...In my mind, both are so into their music styles. I think neither will win a music argument; neither will lose either... Go Mineyo meets Maeri ..One can sing, the other can dance...what kind of dance was that again?...it made me laugh so hard. :) Both however transformed their loves (i.e. KMG and HTK) into better persons.
    Thanks again ockoala for brightening our days/evenings.

  • Well, see why my squee is strong but it feels incomplete? This, fics, squeeing together in one place that makes the fandom experience thorough for me. *sighs*

    I wish I knew Chinese. And yes, the story sounds wonderful. :)

  • I feel that mary Stayed Out All Night is not only the story of MG and MR, also is the story of Guen Suk and Guen Young. Why? After I watched the long time TV show that had young Guen Young and Guen Suk were together and had pinky promise, I felt that someone did want them together, which is similar to the M3 's story. The man with the pink and white t-shirt stared his eyes to then while they were making their promises. Then sundently the wind blew both of them. I may missunderstand because the video was translated in vietnamese language I don't understand. However, from the guestures, I assumed that there were some barriers between the guy in the show and Guen Suk. I guest that the guy is a famous actor at that time. By the way, 2Guen were very shy. Moon was very shy to look at Guen Suk on his face. She had a very strong reaction to that event. Guen Suk looked more fun that his early reactions in the show. He was pretty quiet more than other guys. I am not sure that it is because he was shy sitting next to her, or he wasn't know what to say.
    Finally, I always hope that they will be a friend forever-lover, and support each other.
    I love both of them.
