    Han Ji Min posted a lot of photos of herself and co-star Jung Hae In at One Spring Night's wrap party on her personal IG. Han Ji Min knows the ways of good and appropriate fan service. PMY and KJW, be like Han Ji Min! :lol: (Okay, mostly kidding, and to be fair KJW did give us some good Ryan Gold fan service on his IG throughout the show's run.)

     

    It's possible that PMY was disappointed with HPL not garnering high ratings. Maybe, that's why she disassociated herself from HPL as soon as possible. To the best of my knowledge, PMY did not post anything on IG with her QF7D costar as well. Needless to say, QF7D was also not a successful show ratings wise. WWWSK was hugely successful and uplifted PMY's brand tremendously. Maybe, that's why she posted farewell pictures on IG with her costar and director.

    My addition to the list!

     

    - The male lead is a lesbian and gay ally (proactively supported a lesbian couple's relationship as well as their right to privacy, and was unreservedly supportive and accepting of a gay relationship)

    - sensitive and positive treatment of a gay love story/relationship (instead of being used just for laughs)

    One more:

     

    ML and FL did not bond over a bowl of instant ramen (its there in almost every k-drama I've seen till date)!

    Here are a few more:

     

    No temporary amnesia

    No parents disapproving of romantic partners

    Second leads move on with their lives

    No sudden U-turn or rushing to the female lead’s home in the middle of the night in a jealous fit (waits for a decent hour - 7am, lol)

    Main leads decide to travel to another country TOGETHER (no long distance relationship)

    Main leads get engaged and take their time, going at their own pace, instead of jumping to the wedding right away for the ending

    Male lead quits his job as director and female lead finally gets his job that she wanted and deserved

    Fathers who abandon their sons and don’t look for them deserve zero effort and zero curiosity from their sons (main lead and second lead)

     

    No piggy back rides!

    No putting ointment on each other's cuts/scratches while starting intently into each other's eyes!

    [OFFICIAL] Kim Jae Wook ❤️ Park Min Young [MinJae] ❀ Ryan ❤️ Deok Mi the "LaBit" Couple

    in shippers' paradise

    I know this is not going to be a popular opinion and I mean no disrespect to anybody in this forum, but very rarely there is any smoke without any fire.  If there was no truth to PMY dating PSJ, there is no way this rumor would have been going this strong for all this time.  I despise the PPC shippers but I cannot completely disregard their claims.  KJW and PMY did an amazing job and it would make me very happy if they were indeed more than friends, but I just wanted to put it out there....there is a reason PMY completely cut herself off from HPL right after it ended. She is a professional and she will do whatever is necessary to make the audience believe in her character.  A lot of PPC believe that PSJ was also in LA and even have pictures to prove it.  I have seen the pics and from behind it looks believable.  So please fellow shippers, be hopeful but please prepare yourself for an undesired reality.  

     

    There is nothing wrong with PMY dating PSJ, but after all their "denials", if it in fact turns out that they are together, I am going to lose respect for PMY.  One of the main reasons I admire PMY is because she seems honest and straight-forward.  Yes she is a very good actress, but so are many others.  If she turns out to be just as dishonest and fake as most other actresses, I am going to cut my losses and invest my energy and attention on hopefully someone who is more worthy of it.  I feel a little sad that KJW and LE is facing all this crap because PPC shippers want to PROVE that KJW is not available to date PMY.  PMY and PSJ might as well admit it if its true, rather than allow more of their friends and fellow colleagues to bear the brunt of their shippers.  At this rate, most leading men would think multiple times before signing on a project with PMY.  She will again create incredible chemistry because she is so good at it, and god forbid if that guy is not in a public relationship, his name will be dragged through the mud for no good reason by the delusional PPC shippers.

    @fauna Well said.  PMY is indeed a very capable actress.  I first saw her in City Hunter and have been a fan ever since. There is no doubt that KJW did an amazing job with Ryan Gold. But the reason we enjoyed the tandem so much is because both KJW and PMY are seasoned actors. It is a fact that KJW received the lion share of the attention and oftentimes credit for HPL and I get it. He is such a brilliant artist and has been overlooked for so long that it is only fair that he is receiving the much deserved accolades. But that cannot undermine the fact that PMY made Sung Deok Mi such a lovable fangirl. In the beginning there were a few scenes where PMY overacted, but I think it was what was expected of her. If you try to reason why as 33 year old woman is squealing in joy over meeting a 20 year old idol, it would seem ludicrous. But fangirling does not follow logic. As you said, the swing scene was heart-fluttering (even though none of us really wanted or even expected the outcome to be different) and it was a very thoughtful suggestion. So I'm not sure if KJW really steadied PMY's acting. they fed off each other's energy and created some memorable moments as Ryan-Deok Mi. Love them both to bits!!! :)

    I think that Ryan always tried to hide his fragile child who was abandonned behind the image of a mature, arrogant and successful man. His nature was not arrogant (according to his attitude to children, old people and LGTB ) but he believed when he acted as an arrogant, people wouldn't see his weakness and only people get closer to him (as Cheum's staff did from the middle of the show), they could see his kind-hearted side... Nobody, even his few friends as the doctor and Da In knew st about his private life and DM at that moment is just a colleague that he was protecting (feelings for her is just at the starting point). The fake-date at first was to cover DM's homosexual relationship in case Sian's fans stalked her (in his mind)

     

    His secret is also his biggest trauma, to the point that caused his greatest loss of a talented artist: ability to paint. To a man who believed since his childhood that people only see his value in paintings, this ability is his pride and his identity. Nobody knew why he stopped drawing (except the doctor) and he told DM about it only when they are stabble in relationship later on. Imagine he rushed home to save his paintings from the water leak, and saw DM standing in the middle of his sacred secret that he never shared to anyone. We don't have to forget that he's American too, for them respecting one's privacy is very important and people must be allowed to enter someone's secret corner... I guess in one second he lost his mind and shouted at DM cruelly. I'm not sure that he got mad at her. For me it's more like he was shocked that his traumatic world was discovered when he was not ready to unveil it. 
    That's why when it was over, he explain to DM that "I shouldn't have got angry at you. Just because I was lost for a moment" (it's translated like that in my language. Not sure in the english version it was the same). IMO, I think his reaction is totally reasonable, given that he was not a smooth-tongue guy right from the beginning.  

     

     

    I totally get what you are saying. He had all the reason to be mad at her. She did invade his safe haven, his private space.  I'm sure DM would have been upset as well if Ryan entered into her private space without permission.

     

    But he wasn't just angry, he was cruel to her. He probably knew at that point that DM cared about him from the way she took care of him when he was drunk, but he threw that to her face and mocked her for taking their fake relationship for real.  His exact words were "Did you really want to play the role of somebody's girlfriend so bad?" That is so hurtful, especially to someone like DM who has been nothing but sweet to him after they sorted out their earlier issues. That is why I felt that DM forgave him too easily. He hurt her pride as a woman, almost making her sound too desperate. If I were her, I'm not sure if I could have forgiven so easily. I think it is in Deok Mi's character to be happy and forgive easily, but I wanted to see more of Ryan trying to make up to her for his abrasive behavior.

    Hello everyone,

     

    Still missing HPL! If anyone can recommend any other good K-drama, I'm all ears! :)

     

    I wanted to discuss something that has been in my mind for a while.  Do you remember the episode where Ryan yells at Deok Mi for entering into his house without permission? I felt Ryan was not just angry, but very mean to Deok Mi. He insulted her for taking their fake relationship too seriously. Ryan was cruel because he attacked Deok Mi where he knew it would hurt most. At that point in time, he had already started to fall for her. But can you do that to someone you care for? Yes he apologized but I wish Deok Mi had not forgiven so easily. I wanted to see Ryan reflect more on what he insinuated and how that would be so disrespectful to Deok Mi when he was the one to offer to fake-date? I guess, a little angst of this kind would not have been all that bad! :)

     

    What do you guys think?

    Hello, how is everyone doing? I’m still not over HPL and our favorite Labbit couple. Every now and then I check Twitter, instagram, soompi etc. to see if there are any updates. I do wish PMY and/or KJW are interviewed about HPL. But I’m not so optimistic. I checked to see if TYH leads were interviewed after the show ended, but could not find anything. 

     

    Anyways, I’ve started watching Voice. It’s not an easy watch, to say the least; but I’m giving it a shot. I followed somebody’s recommendation and watched “BUTTERFLY SLEEP” starring KJW. it’s an exquisite movie. Initially, I was a bit unsure because it’s about the relationship between a young man and a much older woman. But it’s beautifully executed and I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to see more of KJW.

     

    Im impressed with KJW’s acting range. It’s a different version of him in everything I’ve seen so far. He is so underrated that it makes me a little upset. There are so many Korean actors who basically play the same type of characters in almost every drama they do, and the dramas are so popular. I really hope that KJW’s talent is better appreciated and we get to see more of his awesome performances.
