    Park Bo Gum ❤ Girl's Day Hyeri aka REPLY 1988 TAEK x DEOKSUN

    in shippers' paradise

    Posted

    I never root or entertained the idea of a SW-DS. While DS tried to catch his attention, SW seem like he did not care for her other than a friend. The hint of him liking someone else was too strong from the start that I just waited for DS inevitable heartbreak.

    Since eonamryu is too strong from the getgo then I set my assumption to that ending. I was in team Taektanic with JH ending in my mind. I was prepared for the oncoming heartbreak. 

    JH lovestory was like a firecracker. Intense and colorful. I saw him realized that yes, Dukseon is a girl in that alley scene. He was awfully endearing when he protected her in the bus. I smiled when I saw his effort (the veins!!!). When he gave her the umbrella, when he ran to MCDO just for her, when he waited for her and tying his shoelaces like a dork, I found it very sweet. But I still couldn't jump ship. I tried. But it was hard to when I couldn't connect to Dukseon's feelings. I felt like DS was bemused with the attention and nothing else. And the bickering was also different. It was not SW-YJ/NJ-TR bickering. I couldn't feel that intensity to bicker from DS.

    I really thought episode 10 was the beginning of my ship sinking. I even stop watching the show and just relied on live recaps, youtube and dramabeans. I was that prepared to spare myself from heartache. 

    But the oddity continued in their dynamics. I thought for sure that Dukseon would finally pay attention to Junghwan after the ep 10 confirmation. I thought they would forge a bond that is different from the squad. I thought they would developed deeper feelings. I thought she would want to know him more. But what I got was the Dukseon that fell in love with SW. It felt like it was all in the surface for her. But I could see how it was so different for JH. He was falling deeper but he looked so alone in it. It felt like he was the only one trapped in the nightmarish love triangle. He pushed her away - he sulked; she forged on running after him. He looked at her in the distance; she was comfortably in Taek's side. He did not clarify the misunderstanding; she did not try to find out why. He brooded about her, Taek and him; she brooded about her future. They never intersected. It was really hard to jump ship in that kind of lovestory.

    I realized now that it was all frustratingly one sided. That's why I really couldn't see it, no matter how loud and sure the other ship were. I agreed that JH was the ending out of pure kdrama logic (the angst, the first to be the noble idiot, the first feelings to get discovered) but it was different story wise. The oddity I felt about their dynamics was because DS was never part of jh lovestory. He was so lonely in it.

    Each of the characters really have a story to tell. I chose to focus on DS lovestory. So everything else just become a wonderful sidepiece. But the 2nd viewing made me realize that Sunwoo's storyline was another bigger focus/impact on the overall story. I think its because his life intersects and connects with Taek, Deoksun & Bora.

    So the first official release of the cast might be correct. GKP-Hyeri-PBG. It just that GKP is not the husband or part of the triangle but he is a very important character and it was felt by the audience (considering that his appearance time was bashed by the translated comments).

    But it was JH storyline that got the viewers reaction and sympathy. It made RJY the breakout star of this series.

    I wonder how it was for everyone else? When have you decided on your OTP? And when did you feel like Taek could be the end game?

    Ep 2, the butt patting. But I was on team Taektanic that time. In ep 15 I was on the maybe he is really the husband. After watching ep 18 I am team my ship is sailing.

    Looking back now, it was fun having my emotions up and down as I followed DS-JH-TK lovestory.

    Taek's obsession is on another level. The writer gave him warmth and PBG played him with all that fluff, innocence and cuteness that it was so easy to disregard him as the perfect male hero. But strip him with all that then he would be a very swoon worthy kdrama usual male lead. He is very rich, smart, competitive, cold, detached, obsessed & an addict. If he uses his brain for evil then he could probably be a cunning and manipulative criminal mastermind.

    I reread the threads relating to reply...and I think if jh-ds shipper went back to page 90 of their thread until page 300 they would probably realize that without realizing they already wrote why Junghwan is not the husband.

    Common topic in the thread:

    1. There is no movement in their romance

    2. She always spends time with TK. She really likes TK (motherly, sisterly, friendly...lol)

    3. There is no screentime of JH-DS together and basically no development at all

    4. DS is not a whimsical girl. She knows who she likes.

    5. Junghwan is doing nothing. He is so frustrating.

    Can someone please translate Ryu Jun Yeol's V app broadcast? Apparently, he and Hyeri were very disappointed that JH wasn't the husband and that Jun Yeol wished that TK's confession never happened :(... I don't understand why JH fans are acting this way.. It breaks my heart to see them hate TK and to that extent - Park Bo Gum... 

    I don't think Hyeri said that.

    Not a bad thing.  I like it.  No drama and no bickering fights about stupid stuff.  They just like each other and are happy with each other, and are happy to tell each other what they feel.  

    I know. It makes me want to have that kind of love. But I guess it also described how the general audience viewed it? I see it because I'm a fan but there are others that needs a second viewing to discover how it happen. The love is always there that it got overshadowed by the fireworks of jungpal's first love.

    I read blue's interpretation and it was very logical. It is also the interpretation that had me on team taektanic. Every episode I always asked to myself, 'when will my ship sink?' or 'when will the ship get holes'. But right now, I don't want to care about that anymore. Reply is already ending and I am just happy to how it turned out. Dukseon is my most relatable character. Her growth was gradual. We can see her struggles, her insecurities, her search for happiness and her wanting to find her own path. Her worry because she had no dream just struck a chord to me. Taek is my favorite character. I think it is because of the pacing of his character arc that left me wanting to know more about him. The character that I find so hard to relate to is Sunwoo. Maybe because he was presented as the perfect child to his single mother. Of course there are more of him but I just find it hard to empathize with his character. The most frustrating for me to watch is Junghwan. His actions towards his parents made me smile, made me happy when he's happy & his inaction just makes me roll my eyes. There is a point in the story that I come to hate him :lol:. But episode 18 just made me say aww to his struggles. DR is relatable with his struggle with his family. But (maybe I am wrong) I don't think he found what he wanted in his life.

    To the mean user emy something or other who was mocking pm3? It makes me wonder if there's a way to block people on soompi. That person's posts puts me in a bad mood. *no time for people on their high horses*

    She is a jh shipper. I don't think they accept any other direction to the story. After all their motto is 'junghwan is the husband anyway'. 

    They reeeeaaaaalllyyy get affected by pacmule's post. It is so fun to read. I get giddy everytime packmule post because it iritates them too much.

    The fight in MT is no joke...

    But I dont know why I have a lot of fun lurking there.. I must be the crazy one here..

    It is fun in MT. Different opinions and analysis that helps make the show fun and interesting. And there are a lot of lol worthy petty fights going on. 

    I was having fun reading different sites and different soompi thread and there were post that caught my interest. Since obviously I cannot ask this in JH thread so I will say it here. 

    Spoiler

    So...um...why are we still peg in the delusional ship? Lol...the delulu ship sinked a long time ago.

    'his long fingers placing the baduk stones, was like a slow motion movie playing in front of me. That was when I really saw him as a man.'

    I want this to be true. I really, really want a flashback and a slow mo of Taek's long fingers...like a slowmotion movie, how romantic.

    Visiting MT really makes me down. i was so sure of uri taekkie to be the end game, but then there's interview with little jinjoo and NL regarding who they wish to be the husband and they both answer JH T.T

    I really need to re-read some posts here to strengthen my belief again. but anyway, we are team low expectation from the start thus i always prepare for the worst

    Cheer up. We survived ep 1-10. We decided our ship will sink earlier. But here we are. We got the first kiss (dream), the noble idiocy, discovered the feelings of the competition, the princess carry bride that affected the main lead more than the close encounter in the wall, heart to heart talk with lead's daddy & the sweet head to shoulder scene. Actually, it is funny that we got the scenes the jh-ds shipper really wanted to happen. 

    I cannot assure it will be TK endgame (i am not the writer) but all I can say is that JH is very kind and he would not hurt DS again. He ended the heartfelt and swoony confession like a joke because he already saw in her eyes that he has no chance.

    Who won in 1989 music festival? 

    No matter if the husband is JH or TK (#teamlowexpectation #notdeluluanymore #wedon'tmakeupclues) we will still get flasbacks right? So we will get:

    - the reaction of DS after TK told her he likes a girl and wants to confess to her.

    - if dream kiss is real or not

    - when the times that tk-ds meet at night after his competitions or baduk practices was it coincidental or was she really waiting/timing it.

    - why she wants tk to be her manito

    - ds-tk in a room together in china. TK said he wanted to spend his time with his friend in his room. I wonder what they were talking about. From that day on the head patting stop

    - when tk's first love started. We saw junghwan's pov in episode 18 so I know I will see TK.

    - DS feelings after TK rest his head on her shoulder. She should feel something since she stuttered. 

    - when DS started to love someone without anyone telling her.

    - if DS ever wondered why TK asked her out to a movie in that snowy night.

    - how TK knew DS got dumped by SW

    Watching with sub I'm now 99.999% sure Taek is the husband!

    With 2 episodes to go there's no way there'll be enuf time to make JH dates around, convert his interest from novel to comic, change his right handed to left hand habit, sudden liking for smoking, to name the least!!!

    It actually is a straight forward love story.  DS first 2 crushes were influence by her friends, and her 3rd love she finds out the hard way as her own heart beats for him.

    Yeah, the subs helped tone down the anxiety. I don't want to rejoice. Not yet. I have to see it to believe it. But yes I am 100% sure who the husband is. The expression on her face after the confession when the door rings said it all.

    I am so ansty and excited that I cannot help myself but post here lol. I hope you don't mind some of my post (some of it are kind of negative :sweatingbullets:).

    Do you have any other interpretation about the dream kiss? Because for me if it is not a dream and DS lied about it in the next morning that just means her feelings for Taekkie is 100% not friendship. So why are some people take that as a clue that Taekkie is not endgame because she lied to him about it?

    The twist is that there is no twist. :lol: And then there will be meltdowns saying that it is a twist and that there is definitely script changes :w00t:. Who would have thought that the genius, silent and kind guy will get the girl? It is still iffy though that he confessed in episode 18 and with 2 more episodes left.

    Reminiscing how we started just make me feel so sad that is almost ending :tears:. And you are all right. We started this knowing that it might sink and reaching this far and still going strong is already miraculous enough.
