I Hope MBC Won't Cancel We Got Married Program

Yes. I really hope MBC would not stop this program. Not for my sake, but for celebrity sake. Hurm, maybe a little bit for my entertainment. Haha.

Even though some K-netizens didn't like this program, calling it is not interesting and should be canceled, and the lower rating make it worse. But people, especially celebrities, cannot deny that this program sparks their popularity. Well that's why they join variety show on the first thing, isn't it?

When MBC introduced Global version, they bring this show to a new level by broadcast it on other countries and upload the infamous Behind The Scene on Youtube. This program is so well received by foreign fans.

One more point is, more advantage to the celebrities. They can date publicly. Haha. Well, some of them debut from teenage like Taemin and it'll be hard for him to go on date or at least experience normal couple date.

This is a program that make fans stress but make celebrities happy. Haha. And there is possibility this program to be a matchmaker if Lee So Yeon and Yoo Han be the first WGM couple to marry for real. Don't put your hope so high though.

I end this post with a quote from Michael Hyatt's Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World:-

Why do you think reality television is so popular? People crave for transparency and authenticity. They long to connect with real people living real lives. It gives them perspective and helps them see that their lives are normal.

What do you think? Should MBC keep this program running or cancel it?

When DramaCrazy is Gone

I used to watch drama at DramaCrazy.net and when the site is gone, I don't have favourite site to watch new drama. But glad that I finish watching Nine before that.

So, for few months, I watched We Got Married Global and become an avid fan of Daramji Couple (Hongki & Fujii Mina). My favourite place to hangout at that time is Hongki Mina GWGM Official Soompi Thread.

Because I didn't find any good streaming site, I've been reading new drama recaps like I Hear Your Voice and Good Doctor on DramaBeans. The recaps is so good. It's like watching the drama and I have to say thanks to them for saving me an hour from watching the video. It's not that I don't watch the drama at all. After reading the recaps, I can choose which scene and episode I want to watch. This way, I don't have withdrawal syndrome after the drama end.

My Favourite We Got Married Couple

One of the most popular Korean variety show - We Got Married (WGM). Sorry to those whose didn't like the show but I do love the show and I watch it every week.

Even though people said, "WGM is a lie.", "Only for delusional fans." and what so ever but I still like the show as a variety show. Even sometimes I thought that the couple looks good together, wish they will become a real couple but that's it. As long as I have fun watch them every week.

My favourite We Got Married couples...so far.

1. Adam couple

One of the best We Got Married couple. - Jo Kwon & Gain

2. Jungin & Jungchi couple

I love this couple! They're dating for almost 11 years. Hope We Got Married help them to get married for real. Update: They are going to register their marriage this month and spend time with family from both sides.

3. Taemin & Naeun couple

It's good to see Taemin's other side. He is married right now but I still look him as SHINee's cute and adorable maknae.

4. Hongki & Fujii Mina couple

This one also cute and adorable couple from We Got Married Global Edition. Should I say, they look so great and compatible with each other. I hope Hongki treats Mina well even after the show and makes her forget gap between you two, since you are HongStar, Hongki-ah.

We Got Married is Scripted?

Recently, several photos, titled “‘We Got Married (WGM)’ Is Scripted(?),” were uploaded to various online communities, surprising netizens who were under the impression that the stars in the show were acting candidly and spontaneously.

In the photos, make-believe married couple T-ara’s Eunjung and actor Lee Jang Woo are enjoying their trip to Indonesia. However, the camera also captured a member of the “We Got Married’s” staff holding up a sign directing the couple on what to do next. The sign reads, “Let’s try the coconuts.”

“We Got Married” has described itself as an unscripted, reality show. As a result, the photos disappointed many viewers who believed that the words and actions from the cast were truly candid.    

Netizens commented, “Now, I don’t believe anything the stars say on the show is spontaneous,” “I don’t think producers understand the term reality show,” “Nothing is unscripted,” “The cards don’t necessarily mean the entire show is scripted. They [crew] were only directing the flow of the show.” and more. 

WGM Producer comments:

On March 12, the main producer Kim Joon Hyun spoke with Sports Chosun and said, “There are no scripts for the cast members. The staff members get the basic synopsis, but the cast members don’t get to read it in advance. They don’t have a script, and that’s why they actually have to use a cardboard on the set.”

“At the time, we were walking down a beautiful trail and Eunjung wanted to try the coconut. So we promised to have it on our way back up, but because there were so many people, the couple totally forgot about it. So in order to remind them of the coconut, our staff member used the cardboard,” he added.

“In fact, there are no variety shows that don’t use cardboards while recording. For ‘We Got Married,’ it’s a reality show, so we can’t really get involved directly. We use the cardboard once in a while, but that happens only very few times. Also, in a lot of cases, the cast members miss the sign or don’t even mention it on the show,” he continued.

The producer actually said he’s thankful for all the attention and he takes it as a positive sign. “I think it’s actually a good sign that so many people are interested in our show. And if anybody can find a writer who can come up with the script for any of our ‘We Got Married’ episodes, I’ll gladly sign that person for over a million dollars,” he said.

SeoHyun Never Had True Feelings for YongHwa(?)

SNSD’s Seohyun made a shocking revelation on the December 15 episode of KBS “Happy Together,” giving a “no” sign when asked if she ever had true feelings for CN Blue’s Jung Yonghwa.

On the show, Seohyun was given three sentences that she either had to agree or disagree with by holding up an “O” or “X” sign. The first question was “I am pretty,” to which she gave an “X” sign. The second sentence was “I had true feelings for Jung Yonghwa,” but she held up the “X” sign again, surprising everyone on the set. The final phrase was, “I would date Jung Bum Kyun, who looks similar to Yoo Jae Suk,” which she disagreed with again.

She didn’t further explain her response to the Yonghwa question. Instead, she only talked about her standard for beauty and revealed her actual ideal type of man—who turned out to be Yoo Jae Suk.
