Thanks for the translation, chingu! Highlight on the bold part— for a second, I thought it said “...NJH, his ideal girl” Hehehe. But I get what you meant. I guess they’re asking him again about his ideal girl. Standard question. He must be tired of answering the same question. But, I’m curious about his answer. Lolol. 6 pages long? Wow. Maybe there’s something we can spazz about. Lol. And, excited about Hyunnie’s vlive! I know the topic is not related but hope she can drop hints of a new drama. *fingerscrossed*
Sorry if my phrasing mislead you for a moment!
Nope, based on the text I read, just the standard question (a more literal translation would be: the kind of woman he likes) , which is kind of unavoidable, I guess, and even more so since he starred in a romcom for the first time. But just like you I am curious to read his answer this time After all, we know that Hyunie perfectly fits the description of his ideal girl he gave on a few occasions in the past, before SP, and that is a fact .
Anyway, I am really looking forward to rewarding this long interview and yes, we are blessed to get it months after his enlistment
. That is unexpected but welcome May be we can really reach page 1500 before the DVD comes out
Happy Wednesday and Happy White Day, chingus!

I don't quite understand Japanese but I think Wookie had an interview regarding SP and (Hyunnie I think) before he enlisted for this magazine. Do correct me if I'm wrong though.
Correct, dear.
It says that that in the interview he explains why he choose SP as his last drama before enlistment, what he learned from his co-star NJH, his ideal girl, highlights of the drama, etc. It seems the interview will be 6 pages long, and the magazine will be released on March 16th.
It looks like we have a lot to look forward to for the coming Friday!
Hyunie's Vlive & Wookie's Japanese interview, in addition to the anniversary of Wookie's confirmation as the male lead of SP!
Count me as a happy fan
BTW, everyone who is going to watch Hyunie's Vlive: especially since this time it's for such a good cause, please send lots of hearts
for me as well! As usual I'll be at work so I won't be able to watch live and will have check it afterwards... Thanks in advance!

After getting new pictures of Hyunie - and I am very happy to see her healthy and spending time with her friends - it's #throwback time, fellow shippers!
'Cause I was reminded by this, and other posts going around on IG that it's been exactly one year (since it's still March 11th in my part of the world
) since Wookie's Taiwan fan meeting...
Which obviously means that it' s been a year since the media interviews when he was asked to draw his ideal girl. And you know which drawing I am referring to.
But since despite the striking resemblance we will never know for sure if he really had Hyunie in mind
, I'll leave that to you and just repeat that also the description he gave to explain his drawing (the heart is more important, she is smiling brightly, she has a beautiful smile) fits Hyunie perfectly. Whether he knew it already at that time or would find out in a month or so... Ctto

@midorinokerochan If you have free time,can I request "101 Reasons why I ship Namji Couple " from your POV ? Thank you in advance
By the way ,I will go for a short vacation to Indonesia from 12-16 March .Huhu..hopefully neither good nor bad bombs will be dropped within this dates
Your request got me seriously thinking. And you know what? I don't have 101 reasons why I ship NamJi Couple. No, that's not right. Let me rephrase: I do not need 101 reasons to ship them.
1 reason is enough for me. Ok, let's make it 2 reasons, but the second one is simply a consequence of the first one.
I know this is probably a surprise coming from me, since I am the verbose one, and while I have good analytical skills synthesis has never been my forte.
But that's the truth in this case:
So:
#1. Their happiness. Their laughter, the smiling eyes, the joy that radiates from them when they are together.
#101. Their contagious happiness. The happiness, the contentment, the joy, the elation I feel watching them together. The idiotic smile that spreads on my face when I watch them together.
It's not that I cannot find 99 entries to fill in the space between #1 and #101, but they would be just specifications of my two main reasons and/or simple "ornaments", that would mean very little without #1 and #101.
But on the other hand this "101 reasons" sounds like a fun "challenge" so, yes, I want to do it!
I'll try to get the full list ready for when you come back, ok? 'Cause I will have to think about the proper arrangement, and then I am pretty sure I'll need to trim down my list, since once I start writing for real I am afraid I will get carried away
BTW, I am sincerely happy you get a vacation, and hope you will enjoy it to the max and have a wonderful time in Indonesia, but we will surely miss you and your posts here and on IG!

@midorinokerochan : on your last picture you post, Wookie obviously looked nervous, a little bit ashamed and Hyunnie stared at him brightly...
No regret that he waited her for eight years, untill she reached above 20 ....
Sorry my delulu
100% agree!!! Yes, he was nervous and looked away, which I find quite endearing already (especially considering that he is considered one of the best kissers in Kdramaland), but the way she looks at him is really
For me, it rivals the best Wookie's adoring stares towards Hyunie. That's why I love this pic so much. Besides, it's just a fleeting moment if you watch the vid, and you could easily miss it. For this reason, I am truly grateful to whoever captured this bright, loving gaze and gave us this 2 stills.

I don't know what their current status is but I was just imagining what if one day I get a similar news regarding our otp. Just imagining it gave me goosebumps and butterflies. How we all would be on cloud 9 and how this thread would be exploded with all the celebratory messages and kissing gifs. Forgive me I may sound too emotional right now but I really miss Namji interactions all their interactions felt so real. They looked so adorable and happy whenever they were together in their own world. Thank God I watched SP or else I would have never come across such beautiful couple whose sizzling chemistry onscreen made me curious about their real life chemistry only to find out that there were more romantic/cute/couple type moments between them than the characters they played.
I was really anxious when SP ended thinking that their responses and reactions to few questions would make me drop this ship but guess what it made me hold onto this ship even tighter. One thing I found out from the interviews is that they share a profound respect for each others work and care about each other. I am still not over wookie's reaction to the mbc section tv interview question his expression after he mentioned her name still gives me butterflies and hopes.
Sorry for cutting your post, chingu. But I wanted to quote at least this part - and in particular the sentences in bold because you have perfectly expressed my thought and feelings about this ship. I couldn't have said it better.

And yes, i am trying to keep expectation low for the DVD BTS too because logically what was shown to us is alr so explosive. LMAO. How much more explosive can it get! Hahahaha. But that said.. i still wanna see new clips of namji together, even if this was almost 1 year back. Haha.
I had done my homework for a post not too long ago, so based on my previous research (and then I added a few more dates) here we go with a few key SP dates. Feel free to add more if you realize that I have forgotten something. If by April and later we are not too busy chatting about the DVD, we can celebrate all these anniversaries
- March 16th 2017: JCW confirms starring in a new drama (tentative title: "Please be careful of that woman"), the last one before his enlistment and his first rom-com (because he waited 8 years for NJH, of course
) . On the same day, the actress (Lee SungKyung) who had been offered the role as his partner declines, and another one (Han JiMin) is in talk to join. On March 23rd also HJM declines.
- March 29th 2017: Nam JiHyun is reported to be in the final stage of negotiations and then confirmed to be JCW's leading lady in the the romantic comedy now titled Suspicious Partner.
- April 4th First script reading.
- April 11th : SP photoshoot and first JCW interview about the drama.
- April 12th: dance (election) teaser shooting.
- May 10th: Press conference and first 2 episodes of SP airing.
- June 1st: Episode 16 airs with JiBong's first kiss. A longer version of the kiss appears in episode 17, on June 7th and on the same date SBS Catch YT channel uploads the BTS + uncut version of the first kiss.
- June 22nd: Episode 28... laundry basket kiss + bed scene.
- July 13th: Episodes 39 and 40. End of Suspicious Partner.
But for us not the end for NamJi .

I am like this with friends. I too feel involve and would want my friends to end up with each other.
I feel very attached to both and I think we have been given a gift to witness a magic that is NamJi.
Again, that's exactly how I feel. Thanks for putting it beautifully into words.
A little visual reward, after so many words:

The way Namji stare at each other Part 1 .
I m using this hashtag on ig for all the Namji's "Staring " photos/videos #thewayjijistareateachother

No difference of this photo the way he look at her still the same.love her ig update and his ig update
One more (quick, I promise) thing I was reminded by the pics you posted here, but forgot to mention in my previous comment...
About this...
Hyunie tagged PD nim here. But I've always wondered if she realized that she posted a pic of the PD... looking (with an amused expression behind his mask from what we can guess) at Wookie who was - unsurprisingly - looking at her (while she was looking at the script).
Or, maybe she had a problem finding a picture with the 3 of them where Wookie was not looking at her, and this was the pic where his stare was the most inconspicuous, so she choose this one

awww i like how more people are confirming. Korea is usually really good about keeping the whole dating rumors quite until they make news about getting married. im glad they are opening up a little more. it isnt a crime to date but i know how korean fans can get. that part gets me all confusing. but oh well.
now time for my love birds to confirm...lol or not confirm.
like i said before the part that gets me questioning me and thinking that they are dating or was is that they have no interviews together afterwards and even on instagram or any other sites they dont send encouragement notes. they dont have to...trust me they can do whatever they want but usually from ALLLLLL the other actors and actress and such they have little comments here and there.
but even in interviews they are very careful with who they talk about. they dont talk about each other unless its regarding a very specific question about the drama. if you know what i mean. like on vlive i know they had tons of question about each other and they can say "oh no we are friends" or "oh no she is too young" etc but they just skip it allll together.
i wont bore you all with my other thinkings.
odd i say odd i tell you "raising fist up in the air"
so me personally, my own view, i think they are dating.....heehee
Being the difficult (i.e. hyper-rational) shipper that you all know I am
, I would never go as far as to say that the fact that they did not have any interview, cm or photoshoots together automatically means that they are dating, because realistically speaking there was not much time for that. But I fully agree with you here that the complete lack of questions by the media despite the sizzling onscreen and offscreen chemistry that didn't go unnoticed should at least make one wonder. And even more so the fact that they they had plenty of chances to just pick fans' questions coming up all the time during V-lives, etc. to say "nope, we are just friends / oppa-dongseng, really!" and thus get things straight stopping all (or most of) the dating assumptions by shippers, but never did that is suspicious. And, instead of a straight out denial, we got:
1) a 30 y.o. guy who looks like a teenager with a huge crush and an even huger smile when he gets to mention her name on national tv + has hearts and stars pouring out of his eyes during his last concert before enlisting as he watches the clips of his scenes with the girl (and the list could go on and on, as we all know).
2) complete silence on her part. She could easily get rid of hoards of annoying and nosy shippers on the one hand and an army of envious haters on the other with just a couple of words, but so far she hasn't. And at the same time she has carefully avoided any mention of his name except for her acceptance speech at the KBS awards.
Considering what transpired in the BTS, the closeness, the playfulness... the camaraderie (if I remember correctly this was a word she used in a post drama-interview, or at least that was the translation)... either something is going on (though I wouldn't say that "they are dating" unless/until they confirm it
) or at this point they should be "best buddies", and behaving as such and openly showing their friendship should be no big problem. If she can like CTJ's or SIG's IG posts, why can't she like Wookie's?

Haha I lost my words looking at this pic..
Credit to owner..
Flip it however you want, that one's gotta be one of my favorite JiBong/NamJi (kissing) pictures
Well, ok, I have a lot of favorite JNamJi pictures.
But this one is really one of the best. Their kissing here is hot. Very hot and passionate. But full of love too. Awww... And let me add this: I love the videos of their kisses. Obviously. How could I not? And with some special effects such as zoom-ins, slow-motions, etc. skillfully employed by talented fellow shippers we are sure not to miss *anything*. But how also the still cuts manage to convey the same hotness and sensuality is still beyond me. But I am not going to complain.
In fact, I am very grateful also to our PDnim because in his PD notes he captured this explosion of absolute "NamJiness", forever crysallized for us to enjoy. No movement to distract us. Pure magic to take in and feel with no hurry, for as long as we want.

Maybe not literally #thewayjijistareateachother in the sense that it's not a mutual gaze here, but it definitely fits the category "the way they look at you when you’re not looking at them"... can I suggest an image that is very dear to me (and I don't think I need to explain why... seriously, don't get me started here, 'cause I could blabber for hours about this and you would end up with another endless post of mine
but really I think the picture speaks for itself and is worth a million words ) ?

Don't know the original source, and even if it's reliable we don't know the details, so take it with a pinch of salt. But I just read this:
So it could get easier for NamJi to keep in touch if it's true and gets effective soon
I can't believe that because of Wookie and NamJi I am more informed about MS in Korea than I ever was about MS in my country when it used to be mandatory (and I had 2 boyfriends going through it while I was dating them... not at the same time, of course
) Off to work now, since my back and neck are doing better. Have a great day, everyone!

Annyeong, chingus!
I hope everyone is doing fine. I had to take a day off from work due to a really bad back pain and stiff neck, but thanks to this at least I have some time to spend here during the week, which is a gift for me.
So...
Slightly OT, but as for today's news... Congrats to Choi TaeJoon and Park ShinHye!
Love them both. So happy for them. I was surprised not so much about the rumor, since it was not even the first time, but rather for the confirmation, since PSH had always denied any dating rumor in the past. Maybe this means that they are really serious about their relationship. In any case, I wish them all the best.
Then, belatedly, @malaya @achinawa @marcjoy2012 Glad that you enjoyed my research on the fmv with the 2 precious additional seconds of NamJi's hotness
And I don't even consider myself someone with good observation skills BUT I can't help paying attention when it comes to NamJi and then yes, I can be very dedicated to our OTP and happy to put my analytical mind (as I am often told ) to good use for our ship Anyway, credit to our @masthu for discovering the FMV and sharing her observations in the first place . 'Cause that was my starting point.@happyheart1 welcome on board & nice to meet you! After receiving so many "like" notifications for my old posts from you lately, I was getting curious
so I am happy you have now caught up with us and decided to delurk! It's brave of you to join now, during the drought season and knowing that we have a long wait ahead, but of course each of us here understands how you feel. Once you get to know NamJi and fall in love with them, there is no way back and it's difficult or impossible to move on. And obviously we also understand the need to spazz about NamJi. So, even if you missed some discussion the first, or the second, or the third time feel free to share your observations and thoughts any time. As you must have noticed, we don't mind bringing up old stuff again and again since it still gives us happy vibes even after several months. And reading a new opinion is always stimulating. So, if you have time please join the fun and share your comments.
LOL, this reminds me that, despite having been active on this thread since last August and having posted here much more than in any other soompi thread in almost 9 years, I still have things to say about NamJi (yeah, I still have notes for at least 4 or 5 long posts I've been promising to you and to myself to write sooner or later
) and what stopped me is only my limited spare time combined with the fact that I usually get sidetracked by the "hot topic" of the day or week or by watching NamJi's BTS or fanvids, etc. Finally, I was thinking... we are now at page 1464. At the current pace, we will get close to page 1500 (One Thousand and Five Hundred, chingus... that's awesome!!!!) by the time the D-cut is released. Or maybe we might be able to reach page 1500 before the DVD is out if there is any news about the final casting of the drama that was offered to Hyunie, and considering that the first "SP anniversaries" are coming up. In 9 days (March 16th), we have to celebrate the first anniversary of Wookie's confirmation for the role of No JiWook in SP (and at the same time Lee SungKyung declining the offer, which of course was instrumental in giving us NamJi, or if you prefer it was fate at work to bring Nam+Ji together again). Then, on March 29th it will be one year since Hyunie officially confirmed to star in SP as JCW's leading lady. Then of course there is the first script reading anniversary (April 4th), etc, etc, so I am expecting a lot of throwbacks to enliven this thread while we are waiting for the DVD. And then, when we get our hands on the DVD and the 2 couple disks, we'll see what happens here.
Frankly speaking, I am trying to keep my expectations low for the new content that will be included in the DVD because of course it won't contain bombs or earth-shattering stuff ship-wise, but I'll be happy about any new bit of NamJi - even if it's just-friendly interactions - we will get, because these two never failed to bring a smile on my face. And on the other hand I believe that they did keep some NamJi goodies for the DVD because it must have been clear since the beginning (i.e. since when the drama was still airing) for the production company that NamJi's BTS would be the main selling point of the DVD. So, I can't wait!!!!

@midorinokerochan I think that « new » scene from that fmv is actually from the beginning of episode 29 where they replay a little differently the kiss and bed scene of episode 28.
I had thought about that... because SBS usually shows the PG 15 mark at the beginning of the ep, But the clips from ep 29 I saw on the SBS YT channel only had the "bed" part, when JW sees the picture of BH's dad...
Here:
But you are right... that's should be the explanation. Must rewatch the full Ep 29!
ETA: yep! that's it! The very beginning of Ep 29. The SBS youtube channel and their "best scenes" playlist had fooled me
but you are right. thanks!

I was watching this FMV of NamJi and the kiss near the door felt familiar but at the same time something was really strange about it. I’ve watched this MV several times but this was the first time me noticing it. I checked the drama scene and the BTS and guess what? I found something I’ve never seen before (may be a chingu can double check it for me).
OMG!!! *faints*
I think this part was cut from the drama. We were shown the close up version but the wide angle shows what really happened. Could it be the Japanese version?
(JK)
That hand movevment! Why is my face turning hot!
*fans self*
At this point its tucked in neatly
But here
(slow motion)
The scene starts around 1.54
Good catch, chingu! This was my first time watching this FMV and seeing it, and I am mighty intrigued. No, the truth is that I will be restless till I find out where this fan got the video of the best scene. As you say, aside from some light enhancement, it's exactly the same of the aired version up to a certain point, but then it shows 2 more seconds of pure NamJi hotness.
Unfortunately I am totally unable to compile a video showing the two versions side by side, but I am sure that some of the more talented shippers we have here could do that (if you want and have time, of course).
I did what I could, i.e. I opened two windows of my browser, and played the two vids (the FMV and the clip of the end of Ep 28 from SBS YT channel) together in slow-mo and then frame-by-frame
for a comparison. Screenshots in the spoiler space if you are interested
SpoilerFMV is on the left - official vid is on the right.
At the beginning it's exactly the same scene/take - the only difference being that the FMV is cleared because the light was enhanced:
Up to here, its the same:
But from there, it changes:
full vids are here:
It's the same take, I am sure. But with a wider angle, so we get to see a bit more of our OTP including that swift but hot hand movement and NJH's untucked blouse
But I really don't know where the fan got the original clip with the 2 additional seconds... It's definitely not from the BTS. The fmv was uploaded last July, so it can't be the Japanese version either, 'cause SP aired later in Japan. And I have checked VIKI and some unofficial streaming sites but they all have the same version found in the SBS YT channel. Since the FMV uses a cropped version, any logo that might have been on the vid was removed. The only hint we have is the PG 15 yellow "circle", that did not appear on the SBS video at that point. Naver? Dramafever? Viu? I could not check those, cause they are not available in my country.
Anyway, 2 seconds of new (for us) NamJi action are welcome and precious during the drought season, so thanks for sharing your findings
And, since because of this I was "forced" to replay this scene several times, let me add a couple of comments:
- If I remember correctly, back then I read somewhere (probably in her post-drama interviews) that Hyunie mentioned bumping her head against the wall during this scene. Maybe it was during the rehearsal or one of the first takes. In the aired version - as well as in the bts video - we see Wookie putting his right hand on the wall to shield her head (just as we see him supporting her body when they have to fall on the bed, and he often supported her head during their kiss scenes so that her neck won't hurt too much). I've always found it very sweet -and gentlemanly - of him . And kudos for having the presence of mind to do so while engaging in a passionate kiss
- every single time I replay this scene, and even more the bts version, I can't help thinking that it really looks like they cannot get rid of JiWook's jacket quickly enough so that they can go back to having their hands all over each other. Just saying.
Happy week ahead, everyone!

SP never leaves my mind, even when i'm asleep. I dreamt that i received notification that our dcut is ready for shipment! Hahahahaa. Can dreams become reality soon? Keke..
Based on this, it looks like we have to wait a few more weeks, since production schedule was changed to March 30-April 10. But we have waited for 8 months, so we can do it...
Happy Sunday, everyone!
Some NamJi hugs to cheer you up...

You Are My Everything..Good night

Ah, but I really did not mean to debunk you with my post, chingu! As I said, I could be wrong, so don't take my word for it.
After all, as you all know I am that kind of difficult-to-please-shipper that doesn't pay attention to couple items and that sort of things, so even if she really had that sticker on her phone it is a detail I could have forgotten
My bad!
@achinawa thanks for your reassurance, and for letting me know that I am not the only one who is quite ignorant about Pokemon
And likewise I feel you. I can't get enough of NamJi and this ship. And so I keep coming here, and/or replaying every single bit we have of their interactions, while feeling a little envious of the SP crew and all the other people around them who witnessed NamJi firsthand. Am I too greedy?
On a different topic now, remember, chingus, that last week we were talking about that part of the press conference when it looked like Wookie - while answering a question - had his hand invading Hyunie's personal space, close to touching her hands or her thigh?
Frankly speaking I have never given this too much importance for a number of reasons, but earlier I was browsing @pauliza's recent IG posts and I noticed/remembered something, that reminded me of that discussion.
Here:
Unfortunately it's not very clear because it's almost out of frame (and this is the only footage we have of the first Hanbam interview, I'm afraid), but you can see that when Wookie says that he waited 8 years to meet NJH, she is the one who put her hand over his. Yes, the situation is a bit different from the one during the presscon because she did it as a reaction to something he said and that involved her too, but still...
So I stand by my opinion thinking that during the presscon Hyunie did not move her hands away to avoid Wookie's touch in public, because she had no problem touching him during a TV interview on the same day.
And let's not forget who casually put her hand on his thigh as if it is the most natural thing in the world as early as the first photoshoot
I know that Hyunie is very easy-going, warm, bubbly and touchy by nature. And I do think that they might have talked right at the beginning and decided to drop this kind of "formalities" to get close and build up chemistry quickly, but you must really feel very comfortable with him/her for it to come so natural in a matter of a few days or even a month.
No doubt they clicked right from the start
Gotta agree with @dearyou
Happy week ahead!

Maybe its not related to ggoma & another coincidence BUT if I m not mistaken before this both of them had pokemon sticker on their handphones,right ?I can't find any Namji posts related to pokemon except this two
Not sure if she had a pokemon sticker on her phone (I don't think so, but I might be mistaken), however I remember that she had posted a pokemon character on her IG, but stacked as the second pic, during SP. Here (swipe to see
)
The pokemon character is relevant to the drama scene because of the 2 spoons, obviously.
But it shows that probably both of them know and like Pokemon
(while this ahjumma here knows almost nothing about them... I would have never been able to make such a connection
)

all pics many times including BTS and pics from the drama, but why today I just realise that: this pic is not from the drama but they gaze at each other like that. That pic must be BTS because Hyunie doesn’t take gloves yet.
Okay-BTS and they gaze like that! Oh my shipper heart
I like both of them smiling at each other while they eye contact <3
Well, I guess they were rehearsing there. So maybe I personally wouldn't count this as a BTS stare
However, about this scene and BTS.... Thanks to one of our silent readers who is slowly working her way through our thread (for when you reach here: hi there!
I hope your are enjoying the ride ) these days I am getting a few like notifications for my old posts, and yesterday out of curiosity I checked out a couple of those old posts and what they were about. So, by chance I noticed this gif that was posted by another chingu in a comment immediately following one of my own.
I guess I had never paid enough attention before:
(ctto owner for the gif)
Love how Hyunie lovingly looks at Wookie for a couple of seconds
as she waits for his reaction to her "spraying" him with water before bursting out laughing. Since you shared an IG post about this very same scene, I wanted to share this with you as wellAlso, speaking of sweet BTS gazes, that seem to be the topic at the moment, I wanted to add to my previous post that I love how during the presscon we have a few instances of not just eye-contact, but veritable "eye talk" between NamJi. It's just a couple of seconds every time, but oh-so-lovely
Borrowing @pauliza 's IG posts again:
here, just before they shake hands:
... and here, deciding to re-enact the teaser's dance move and pose as requested by the press:
And then of course we briefly witness the same thing during the Hanbam interview as per the lovely collage you've just posted
OTOH, @pauliza that pic you regranned and were asking about... I don't think it's a real screenshot, as it looks photoshopped to me. Am I wrong?
Spoilerthis one, I mean:
ETA: yep... just look at Hyunie's right side... definitely edited.
At first I had noticed the body proportions between the 2 that did not feel completely right, but taking a better look, it's clear watching Hyunie's side /right arm that this is photoshopped.
BTW, suggested by what I wrote above, on how to give confidence to shippers who might not feel positive about NamJi right now, since we can't have ship-friendly updates from them... I wholeheartedly agree with what you wrote, that it's all about having fun while knowing and respecting the fact we don't know anything for sure and the ship might not sail to its final destination. If people are just losing interest because this might be a long journey, it's ok... no one should feel forced or obliged to keep shipping, so I am not trying to convince anyone. But my own suggestion for shippers that are still on board and just feel a bit "bored" because we don't have any news from NamJi would be to go back to page 1 of this thread and start reading again. Yes, it's almost 1500 pages and this might keep you occupied for a while
, but seriously it's a lovely trip down memory lane and you can feel the thrill of when we were discovering things for the first time and falling in love with this couple. And you might realize now things you had not noticed before, or be reminded of small things you had forgotten along the way... -

I managed to backread everything I had missed during the past week, at last!
I love how - despite the drought season - this thread keeps moving forward. Thanks to the awesome people here who keep it alive and fun
And just for fun, let me add a couple of comments...

Forgetting for a moment CTJ and Nara's expression, my first thoughts when I clicked on the vid you posted:
<<Ah, yes, this is from Ploy Jularat's "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" FMV on YT!
BTW that FMV opens with the fancam of Wookie and Hyunie playing and being in their own happy NamJi world while waiting to film the scene with the stalker...
That fancam was really gold
... must rewatch, now!!!! >>
And at this point I paused, and realized... "girl, you even know by heart the content of the NamJi FMVs?!?
"
(and, for the record, this is not even one of the vids that I replay on a regular basis...) Hopeless much, I guess?
BTW, if anyone feels like rewatching the full FMV now, here you are:
ctto
Now, back to that part of the press conference and CTJ and Nara... Two things stand out in particular for me and make their expressions really suspicious.
1. (I've mentioned it before, but...) the fact that Nara's reaction is not even prompted by Wookie offering his hands to Hyunie to shake. She starts to smile and turn away before that, when Wookie begins to intently stare at Hyunie.
2. the fact that both Nara and CTJ try to cover their reaction. They could have simply smiled/laughed openly because after all their colleague did something a bit funny there (prompted by something the Director was explaining about the story/characters, if I remember correctly). But nope, they tried to hide their expressions and that gave them away.
So, maybe it's not that "they know something we don't" - not at that point - but at least it shows that they have the same perception as we do, i.e. that NamJi's behavior, or in this case Wookie's behavior towards Hyunie in particular, is not "normal". Well, "not normal" between co-stars /colleagues.
And judging from the fact that a stare (and then a handshake) was enough for them to show those funny expressions and exchange knowing glances, it must be something they had witnessed already a lot during the first weeks of filming. -

SP is bad for me man. I do want to have everything related to namji just so i wont miss out on anything! Kekeke.
Ctto
ok... here we go, dear
Based on my understanding... I hope it is correct and I apologize in advance if there is any mistake.
This is the announcement of a limited offer for the fanclub (Wookie's fanclub in Japan)
Basically as far as I can understand the part written in the blue box should be the standard content of the Japanese version of the DVD for Suspicious Partner, and the part in the purple box below describe the bonus the fanclub is going to add for the members who place the order through them.

From March 2nd 2018 (Fri) at 3 p.m. to March 18th 2018 (Sun) at 23:59.
For inquiries: www.jichangwook.jp
That's it.
Even though based on this announcement I was not 100% sure (also because I admit that I am not familiar with these fanclubs and their announcements, etc and I don't know how these things normally work
), however reading also the post and comments of one of JCW Japanese fan accounts in IG (cr: jimizujd on IG) it really seems that the bonus discs + photo sets are for the members of the Japanese fanclub. Almost 2 hours worth of previously unreleased Wookie's stuff is quite a treat and pretty tempting, but if you are only after NamJi's stuff I guess you are not missing out much if you are not a member of the fanclub.
As to the BTS that are going to be included in the standard version, my guess is that the "presentation/introduction of the drama" included in Box 1 might have bits of the first script reading, interviews with the actors done during the posters' photoshoot, and presscon. And Box 2 will have BTS from the set and some NGs. I know that Japanese DVDs of Korean Dramas usually do have some unseen footage, but I think it will be more a mix of old and new stuff. Not much, probably. But of course during the drought season even a few seconds of unseen NamJi interactions might be enough to make us happy and have us talk and discuss for days
Hope this helps if anyone is considering purchasing the Japanese DVD set. I don't think I will, because it's not cheap and I have to add also transport fees to Europe and import taxes, so it would cost me really too much, especially considering that it would be in addition to the Korean D-cut.
I urgently need my beauty sleep now. Yawn. Will try to backread tomorrow. Happy weekend everyone!!!

Hi everyone. I was hoping and planning to catch up with you all tomorrow when I have more time, but I just saw the notifications and requests about the Japanese DVD... Give me some more time and I'll check it out for you, OK? I can't do it right now because I have to start work in a few minutes and above all, due to poor eyesight, this ahjumma needs a B I G computer screen to read Japanese, not a tiny smartphone
. This night when get back home from work + dinner out I'll will do it. But from what I can already see without granny's magnifying glass, it looks like this is a special edition for Wookie's Japanese fanclub? Aside from a few goodies (postcards, etc..) it's going to include some making-of videos and an interview with JCW.
I'll come back with more details later, I promise. For now, happy Friday chingus!

Whoa. I've just cast my last vote for today and for this year.
So hopefully from tomorrow on I'll have some more time to spend on this thread, as I used to do
I have to say that voting from my Soompi + FB + google accounts for all the categories were NamJi and SP, including the supporting actors, were nominated took up a lot, probably too much, of the little time I can spare from RL. But I was happy I could do it and give back to this drama, the people who made it, and above all to this couple, be it reel or/and real, some love in exchange for the laughter, the many heartfluttering moments, and then the poignant and the heartwarming ones this drama gave me, and also the fun of being in this virtual family here that I wouldn't have met if not for SP and NamJi. Besides, I guess this was the last chance we had to show our support SP and to NJH+JCW as JiBong, one of my favorite Drama (fictional) couples ever, so I felt I had to do it. I got my closure knowing that we did what we could and the final results will (hopefully) show that, so I am now fully ready to hearfeltly support whatever project these people will take up in the future, because SP and JiBong/NamJi got the love they deserved. And yes, I admit that one of my motivation was also to "rectify" the not-so-fair awarding by SBS... judging by the current ranking when there are 3 hours left to vote, it looks like this mission was at least partially accomplished
So, even if we have not succeeded in topping all the categories where SP and our OTP were nominated (and of course I regret in particular not getting Hyunie among the top 3 in the best actress category as the situation is at the moment I am writing), I feel like a proud NamJi soldier now. We (Sutners and NamJi shippers here and on IG, Twitter, etc.) should all feel like that. We did well, we did great. We did our best. And we did it with all our heart.
Now, let's cheer for SP, for NamJi and for ourselves.
We deserve a reward for our hard work. And right now nothing less than the one-and-only, inimitable, still unmatched in Kdramaland, age-restricted, full 4 minutes long, NO CUT and no bgm, first kiss video will do.Switch off the lights if you can, put on your headphones/earphones and turn up the volume, and enjoy:
I am off to bed at last now, possibly to some sweet Namji dreams
Good night to the others who might be about to go to bed and happy Wednesday to everyone who is waking up now!

So happy about all the updates from our baby girl!
So she really went to Japan with her friends! Hope she enjoyed her trip.
And, judging from the pics she posted, it looks like she followed someone's piece of advice and ate a lot (yeah, even if technically her trip was before the Lunar New Year's holidays, still... )
Now I just hope she recovers from her flu and feels better soon!

Who can resist that sight of hot kiss like that ?
exactly, it's impossible.
Let her feel / relive the hotness and understand why so many people ship NamJi and can't move on from this OTP.
We'll never know, of course, but I am sure I am not the only one who wonders if they have ever watched those BTS who made all of us fall in love with NamJi... Have they contributed to the 3,7M views of the age-restricted uncut kiss video on YT (or more probably to the I-don't-know-how-many-views of the same vid on Naver)? Or, worse, have they seen some of the clips edited by shippers with light enhancement, zoom in, slow motions, etc.? Even if only out of curiosity...
I know it's a totally pointless question, because we'll never get an answer, but I really can't help being curious
On 18/2/2018 at 12:53 PM, pauliza said:I don't think this is a new photo ,right ?Hehe...but this is my first time noticed their hands interaction in this off screen photocredit to the owner
Reposting the pic for reference:
In the break-up scene that was aired, during the part they were shown walking and holding hands, their positions are switched.
To be honest I've always assumed that they were rehearsing here. Unless it's a bit that did not make it to the final cut, of course. Hyunie's left index finger is pointing at something, so I thought she was making sure that was the spot where they had to stop walking and BH would remove her hand from JW's hold, or something like that. And maybe JCW is looking at PDnim? What I would like to know is if here Wookie is letting go of Hyunie's hand because they had finished that part or on the contrary grabbing it as they were getting ready. Probably the former and that's why her fingers are still curled, but we can't completely rule out the latter, and if that's the case it's yet another instance of the he-doesn't-even-need-to-look-where-her-hand-is-he-knows-it-instinctively
On 18/2/2018 at 6:04 PM, pauliza said:Someone left this comment on this post " Hyunnie move her hand away as Wookie's hand move towards her hands ..looks like she is afraid Wookie forget to control his action " .
And they made it into slow motion video .Credit to the owners
Well, I have no idea whether she was aware of his hand's movement since she was looking straight towards the audience, even though it's possible that she sensed it. However, watching that part - even before this slow-mo - what I had always noticed is that yes, she removes her hand for a second, but ends up placing it a little more to her right, i.e. closer to him. Or am I seeing wrong?
Rather than that, I have to admit that ever since I saw that part of the presscon for the first time, I've been wondering if he was going to put place his hand on her thigh
@achinawa I see your point about that article, but don't take it to heart, dear. I guess the writer was just trying to make some original and witty comments and in relation to the dramas. Yes, there would be so much more to write about JCW and how he portrayed his character, but at least it is undeniable that looked better than anyone else donning glasses. Thanks to SP, he could prove - among other things - that he doesn't even need to show his abs and muscles, because he looks insanely hot even playing a prosecutor/lawyer and wearing glasses
Off to my third to last voting session now (I am so glad there are only 2 more days left, because I am seriously exhausted and I don't think I could do it much longer
), and then to bed.
Wish a great new week, everyone!
PS: It's not just the orabeoni who can't keep his hands to himself...

Hyunnie just followed 2 of her fan's ig accounts .And she will find this if she scrolled down their accounts
If she really scrolls down I guess we should expect this kind of reaction :
Or she might just swoon and enjoy the sight like we all do

Hopefully I will be able catch up with you all tomorrow about CTJ, and everything else, but now - having duly fulfilled my voting duties for today - I admit that my priority is sleep, cause I slept only 3 hours last night.
However, before i say goodnight (or good morning for most of you
) I have to say that I was expecting a flood of kissing gifs and vids to celebrate that NamJi finalley reached the well deserved top spot in the best kiss category of the soompi awards. So I am a bit disappointed with you guys. Let me make up for it, then.
First and foremost, with my very favorite kissing gif:
then with this:
and then this:
This should do for now, also as a reward for our hard work voting and as vitamins to provide us the necessary energy to keep voting for SP and NamJi till the end and till the top!!!
Aja aja fighting, everyone!!!
Not enough? Need more? Click on the spoiler
Spoilerfinally, on the "cover" where NamJi kisses should be!:
ctto
But, recalling what was being discussed yesterday, let's hope that NamJi kisses won't be held responsible for the global warming (with the contribution of us shippers to keep reposting and replaying them over and over

You know there is absolutely no way to move on from NamJi when you are browsing the soompi news website because it's almost voting!time but try to stay away from this thread (because you can't get distracted now since you have to start mass-voting in a few minutes, and because you are trying to prove to yourself that you are not that addicted
) and you read an article about a Chinese celebrity couple who announced they are dating and how they met, and the very first thing you can think about is... yes, obviously, NamJi! Who else? The article about Former Super Junior Hangeng and actress Celina Jade, for your reference:
https://www.soompi.com/2018/02/08/hangeng-announces-his-relationship-celina-jade/
Their story sounds familiar, right?
'Cause of course we have the NamJi version...
SpoilerSpoilerctto
As I've repeated many times here, I never take couple comparisons seriously, because every single couple has its own story, journey, gestures, words, etc.
And of course the couple in the article has nothing to do with NamJi. The fact that they also met as they were presenters at an award ceremony obviously says nothing about NamJi.
But the fact that I immediately linked the two stories, says a lot about my own mental state.
LOL, I am hopeless, I know.
But I can't help missing these two. And the kissing close-ups and slow motions you chingus keep posting are NOT helping
(at least, I am also in a cold place, so rising the temperature is not a bad thing during these cold winter days
)
Happy Sunday everyone!

Nope, based on the text I read, just the standard question (a more literal translation would be: the kind of woman he likes) , which is kind of unavoidable, I guess, and even more so since he starred in a romcom for the first time. But just like you I am curious to read his answer this time
After all, we know that Hyunie perfectly fits the description of his ideal girl he gave on a few occasions in the past, before SP, and that is a fact 
.
. That is unexpected but welcome 
Sorry my delulu
But for us not the end for NamJi

[OFFICIAL] Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun Couple (JiBong/JiJi Couple)
in shippers' paradise
Posted
The preview of the article that was shared, did not mention when the interview took place but it must have been sometime between the end of SP and his enlistment. Probably on the same day he met the other Japanese media that have already released their video and written interviews months ago. Considering how he had these promotional activities and also had to do the photoshoots and film many CFs in advance for the brands he endorses (and he was also preparing for his Jiscovery concert), he must really have super busy after SP ended. Can't blame him or the production company if he could not take part in the DVD commentary, even if it is a pity. I am just happy that he managed to have a few days to relax in Jeju before he enlisted. He needed and deserved that.
To be precise, the main Japanese title is あやしいパートナー (also written 怪しいパートナー) that is the proper tranlsation of "Suspicious Partner".
This is the title I've seen in the hashtags of the IG posts and Tweets by Japanese fans from the start. If I am not mistaken, "Destiny lovers" was added later, only for the DVD. I'm pretty sure it was not used for the Japanese TV broadcast, and don't remember seeing it anywhere when we were voting for the KNTV poll last December and January. But Japan has been playing with the destiny element in SP using the catchphrase "are you my bad fate? Or my destiny?" (obviously meant from JW to BH) and something similar was used for the DVD cover as well, together with the new "English" title Destiny Lovers. It makes complete sense in the contest of the story, so there is no need to find further explanations. But I concede that it's not completely impossible that the Japanese marketing people in charge of deciding the title choose that one because after watching the drama and the BTS they had become shippers too.
Or we can't rule out that they were inspired by comments of fans and shippers not only about JiBong but about NamJi 
And yeah, in DeluluLand the Japanese title can become one of those meaningful coincidences that show how these 2 are really meant to be and fate doesn't miss a chance to point it out for everyone to see 
Sorry to cut your post, dear. But on a similar topic, I saw this tweet earlier and wanted to share:
Ctto
I need to quote this, in particular:
"JiJi really has this one helluva chemistry that you will not see in other OTP. Im almost conviced they invented the word chemistry".
I can say that NamJi redefined the meaning of "chemistry" for me, and they set the bar so, so high that it's difficult to find an OTP that compares to them or at least is convincing enough for me to completely buy the love story in a drama. And to think that I have always been a rom-com junkie...
BTW, I regret not purchasing the SP photobook back then.
A couple of these pics here are new to me. I've seen a lot of BTS pictures included only in the photobook because many fans were kind enough to share them on the social media, but I am sure there are some I have not seen. But in a way it's good, because I can still find something new to swoon over after all these months while I am waiting to get my hands on the D-cut! 
Lastly, @masthu Thanks for explaining that hearts given to the Vlive in advance count. After reading it, I've pressed a loooooot earlier (and she has already over 2M hearts as of now - before it begins, yay!!!) and will give more in a short while, before going to sleep! Let's support Hyunie and this cause as much as we can!
