    @Gavn2310 and all my dear shipper friends here.. Tbh I am not sure where to start n share.. Since this is my 1st time shipping a couple n hype about their art works n everything about them at the same time so~ hard, actually something quite bothering my mind in the past few days. So I need your opinion n comforts may be.. since some of you might more familiar with this shipping stuff..

     

    A few days ago, unintentionally I read someone write about how shipping could affect both parties journey on their career or even in social life. It's said that shipping by masking it as "supporting" will only harm than benefiting them more. Idk if it refers to our thread or else. Still, I respect that arguments n try to look from that perspective, but in the end I keep arguing inside my mind that what we do here is normal, permitted n safe. Right? Since we see them as an ordinary human too, so why don't we support them both in professional n personal life. This kind of support isn't a mask tho, bcs for me the more we love them the more we look after their journey n willing to do more to.. istg.. support them. As long as we don't push this too hard on others and stay on the ground then it will be fine. 

     

    Am I right? correct me if I am wrong :brokenheart:

    I would like to say upfront that I don't usually watch K-dramas. I just happened to discover PEB on Netflix in 2022 when I chanced upon EAW. I didn't know the female lead. I just thought that she was really autistic. I even said to myself something like: "Wow! Look at the dedication of the production team. They really got an autistic woman to play an attorney". I searched her online, realized she was not autistic and I became a fan girl. What a great actress, who seems to be a light in this world, who didn't have to show her private parts just to be popular. She is pure, modest in dress and banks on her pure talent and positive attitude. Almost like an ANGEL. Two things: 1) I am not a fan of any celebrity. I don't usually fan girl because I am more than 50 y/o 2) I didn't even know what "shipping" meant until two years ago. Then after EAW and because of PEB, I watched the TKA just lately, in 2022 also. I was hooked again. Darn it!

    Now back to my comment:

    a) If you are a reasonable person; you will look for consistent, hard or not so hard evidence to ship two people. If you consider yourself a fool, then you will arbitrarily ship two people who will likely not ship. Case in point: Because of PEB, I watched some BTS of DYLB. I watched the (maybe) last episode of the BTS of DYLB. Maybe it was a rehearsal. I don't know. It was a kiss scene between KMJ and PEB but their backs where toward the screen and you couldn't really see the actual kiss but they were angled in such a way that you could partially see the R-side of KMJ and the L-side of PEB. When the Director said "cut", you will notice that KMJ still held his right hand embracing PEB and his left hand still grabbing the back PEB's head. It was maybe 3 more seconds of holding by KMJ. When he finally released, you could see that PEB was a bit annoyed. No smile at all. She was probably expecting that when the Director said "cut", she should be released from the clutches of KMJ. haha. Why do I mention this? This scene alone should have given you a hint that PEB is not interested in KMJ beyond a co-actor but it seems KMJ wanted more. Therefore, there should have been no shipping of these two.

    b) While I agree that you can ship two people but you should also support their careers. I see no harm in shipping folks that are actually worth shipping as long as there are crumbs along the way to support this. In fact, I think the opposite. I think the buzz of shipping folks will keep the actors top of mind.  If they are top of mind by an ever growing fan base. The more this helps both of their careers.
