• Their skinship is a must-see. Keke

  • i hate the fake 'We Got Married' series, but this couple is just hot hot hot...they definitely have a chemistry that makes for great entertainment...and of course i'm watching...

• Kim So Eun can have good chemistry with any guy she's paired with. Even when she did another reality dating show before WGM (with some 2pm guy I think), she sets the screen on fire.

  • It was Junho 2PM in Music & Lyrics..

• Song Jae-rim's nauseating cheesy lines are hilarious to watch and Kim So-eun's masterful deflecting responses to those lines are entertaining me to no end. Love this new couple!

• What makes them amazing is when you see them, you just want to say "YOU TWO IN BED RIGHT NOW" lol.
  No but seriously, they are actually really hilarious. Y'know, it's not just one of them who is hilarious and the other just reacting but both of them are just amazing especially when put together. Like, SJR will thrown some cheesy and lame stuffs and she will counter-attack with "Do you want to get hit ?" Or my favorite is when they were pasting some wallpapers. They were on the floor with SJR behind KES and when he helped her with it, he sang the BGM for Ghost and then, she rejected his help by throwing away his arms and said " That's it, I am doing is by myself" XDD.

• I had not watch WGM after RnB couple Hwanhee & Hwayobi leave...but now I got my new favorite couple. Song Jaerim is the most wanted guy but he only see Soeun. Aish..damn lucky girl.

• I still don't get the interest of this show. If I want to see sexy action (what with the commenters filmed like voyeurs?), there is adult movies for that. Add to that the fans who still don't get that it's scripted: Toxic tv stuff.
  If the man wants to come back as a real actor, he is welcome on my screen though.

  • It is a "reality show" after all or as the Koreans call it, "variety show", and the sense of voyeurism is in itself inherent to the format, though perhaps most if not all of these variety shows are far more wholesome fun than most of its Western counterparts, it's not any less voyeur however.

    It is still scripted, though for the most part you can lift the actual personality of the participants in the show as it still relies on each "actors" participants' stock of emotions, speech, and reactions to propagate the intended narrative. It is in essence an extended ad lib for the entire duration of the actors just interacting and seeing what material would come out. And though it is perhaps sometimes difficult to take each reaction at face value, but seeing that many of these participants aren't even actual actors (as most are idols and a slew of different performers), then there is a sense of legitimacy in each of their spontaneous response, no matter how conscious they may seem to the camera.

    The comparison can easily be made out of the more disparaging Western reality shows, though I wouldn't go as far and call this one as "toxic", as more of it has to do watching the participants have fun and it being shared with the rest of the audience who can choose to root for the personalities they like. And without an imperative of competition, which in most cases creates the "toxic" nature in between participants and fans alike, they can all have a good clean fun. It's almost no different from watching a drama after all, albeit without the burden of written narrative and constructed drama, while the audience can root for their favorite OTP all they want. It is pure unabashed gratification sans the effort and resolution. There seems to be very little harm in that.

    • That was very well explained, I totally agree with you

    • I loved the way you explained it. It is so spot on!

  • I seriously don't get it either. It's scripted and fake and people still fall for it. It also might help a career a little buzz to some delulu fans since it's a very niche show, but in end it's a burden since you get these shippers following you for life (ask Nichkhun or Yongwha). It would be better to go do some real acting instead of this crap.

  • Haha. Reality show/scripted it may be, it is still really fun. I just see it as a really good k-drama without all the pesky conflicts and misunderstandings in the way. It is pure, unadultered fun! :))

• He's so cheesy that you get goosebumps listeni to it. But we know thst it's s cover for his shyness. SoEun is awesome because she has harnessed the push/pull so well. She gives as good as she gets. Imagine getting him dumb founded with her equally cheesy retorts. She's all sass and feisty and she has Jaerim wrapped around her first fingers, but he loves it! They are so REAL in the chemistry department that I think the line between reel and real blurred.

  Come on, who in the history of WGM has there been a groom like him. He behaves like a real hot blooded virile man instead of playing the innocent card. And he actually made the couple rings himself !!! They really are a match made in heaven.

  • Sorry some typos. ** She had Jaerim wrapped around her fingers.

  • SJR definitely " loves" her more and I had to keep reminding myself that "it's a show". The SoRim couple's chemistry is HOT....( SJR being adorkable helps )

• koala, did you watch liar game korean version already? you mentioned you did not watch the japanese drama live action version and wanted to watch the korean adaptation... so how was it? because it just finished airing.

• This is the OTP of the year!! I highly recommend their episodes.. it really is a must-see if you enjoy rom-coms..Their videos are available on YT btw.. Nothing can beat SJR's cheesy lines and their interactions feel au naturale

• What did he do to his face, again?
  He really looked different from tmtets

  • Nothing? is the makeup, or maybe that now has put a bit of weight and his checkbones are less protuding. But if you watch WGM you'll see he has the same face. And, seriously, watching him with period clothes and here in this pictures, of course he looks different.

  • He gained weight and cut his mane of glory.
    He said he went from 65kg to 72kg recently. Good, beccause i prefer him with more weight on his body. He also got alot bulkier.
    His old pics and his new pics are completely different though. I get you. It's the hair.

    • Your 100% right, he used to be WAYYY to skinny. He is one of those guys that shows in the face as well in the rest of the body. He is GORGEOUS NOW!! And funny!!

  • IT IS THE HAIR! ^^
