I’m always lamenting how K-dramas shy away from reuniting actors who have created unforgettable OTPs in another project, but the same lament goes for the even rarer instances where actors have created unforgettable bromances that might even have stolen a drama or two from the OTP. Case in point would be Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In, who were the only reason I stuck around in Sungkyunkwan Scandal as long as I did. As Yeo Rim and Geol Oh, the pretty one and the rebellious one, they pretty much added all the fire and spice that was missing from the plain vanilla OTP in that drama. I love how much they cared about each other as friends (even with all the wink wink Yeo Rim really loves Geol Oh jokes aplenty), and how they found something reassuring and admirable in each other. Plus its undeniable that Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In had smoking chemistry with each other, in the non-romantic way, of course. Fuji is smartly reuniting them to shill for its new camera, so here is a sneak peek at the upcoming CF.
Not sure why the concept appears to be contrasting spies vs. frat boys on holiday, but I’d be lying if I said I cared. If these two showed up in a potato sack I’d still be giddy as a bee.

I love and I miss them!!! Thank you, Koala-san..
wait a second..the first photo is what? no wonder YAI shied away....ha ha ha..
I always amuse by the fact that actually YAI is shy being paired with SJK. Come on boys, you know you love each other and you know fans love you being together! This is so cute, i always shipping this OTP. They should do new project together, in modern piece preferably.
I totally so agree! SJK feels more comfortable with the pairing than YAI. hahha So its like SJK is running this OTP! I wanted either one of them to end up with Park Min Young in SKKS and thats the only reason why I finished that drama :)
They need to be in another drama, asap! Haha SJK loves being affectionate while YAI is still shy about it. Fuji is awesome for choosing these two as their models~ I want a camera now :D heehee
Daebak! What cracks me up about these two is that Joong Ki is always the bold one while Ah In is often the bashful and shy one...hahaha. Totally a reversal of what you expect from their personalities. ;)
I agree, they have great chemistry. Another drama please.
OMG LOVE. I just wish I could extricate YAI away from the mess that is Fashion King
Oh how I wish that was possible
Nonononononono! Leave him there so I can keep watching him (and LJH, of course)! They are both doing so well with the crap script they were given.
Plain vanilla OTP? I'm not a fan of that pairing but I think they did a decent job, a girl standing up to a male-occupied society vs a straight-laced boy? That ain't vanilla to me or others who ACTUALLY watched the drama.
anyway... they're so cute. no qualms about that.
Um, that was kind of a rude thing to say, especially when this is Koala-unni's own blog. Everyone is entitled to their opinions about dramas, writers, directors, characters, OTPs, and everything else. You don't have to agree, and you have the right to respectfully disagree. This often leads to interesting and thoughtful discussions. But comments like the one you made above only lead to name-calling and arguments, and that is not why we come to unni's Playground.
Thanks for getting my back, dongsaeng. I've known plenty of folks who love the SKKS OTP but no one ever resorts to alleging I didn't bother watching the drama ergo that's the only reason I could possibly have for my opinion of them. I bailed on SKKS right around the time it decided to go Disneyland on me, but even before that, it was good but never thoroughly enthralling for me. I thought Micky and Min Young had good solid chemistry, but I didn't fall for the OTP for whatever reason. Cute, but rather boring for me. Eh, c'est la vie. Or really, I just wanted an entire drama to be about Geol Oh and Yeo Rim. Can anyone blame me?
Um, i don't blame Miss Koala for having a different opinion but i think MEI-MEI is disagreeing Miss Koala's point of view respectfully. Or maybe my english is poor? Because i don't see the "rudeness" that she have or is it the part pointing to MM saying "actually watching the drama" because Miss Koala did say "Plain-Vanilla OTP" as well which might also sound rude to some OTP shippers.
I understand that this is Miss Koala's blog and i enjoy most of her articles but i just think that there is room for disagreements as well. Peace. Let's continue playing in this playground :)
Btw, I love SJK and this pairing is cute, i love both of them seperately and not together =p I like PMY and SJK interaction more than the main OTP. I'm the weird one.
i totally agree with you and ockoala. the OTP are ok (that's right cute but boring) but what totally captured me was Geol Oh and Yeo Rim. i survived and finished SKKS because of those two.
I can watch those 2 together all day long!! So cute!!! Thanks for sharing this Koala, seeing those 2 having fun filming the CF definitely make my day!!
I wanted them to get together so bad when I watched that drama. They would have been so hot together.
Amen to that. Who was the girl already?
he..heee...let's just say SJK was more feminine ;)
OMG.. Fun and total hotness!! Miss these two! :D
Thanks for posting this! I really loved all the bromance in SKKS. And I'm always up for some Song Joong-ki :-).
