We already knew that they would eventually be working on other projects with other people..

All I can say is never falter in your faith in JoonU because it is REAL. 

 

Agreed. Now we will have more opportunities to see how unique the bond is between Lee Ji-eun and Lee Joon-gi, by comparing what they have shown us against the (likely more "professional") rapport (and stricter fan service) they will demonstrate with other colleagues.

refer to the post where our chingu @farida1012 posted about JG talking about Jieun...

gosh this guy really can't cover his fondness toward Jieun at all.. at first he like yes she is great co star and bla bla.. but when he talk about how he always do somethig just to make her laugh and how they keep teasing each other really show how much fun he have filming with her.. the way he talk about it really show that Jieun really make the set is a fun place and notice that he said they keep teasing each other?? its mean that not only him but Jieun also tease him a lot and make him relax.. its been a year  since they work but JG seem to love that a lot.. even when he said its a fun memory that he have... lastly i think its about 2 times he said that he wanted to work with Jieun again in future... JG really LOVE working with Jieun i guess... kekekeke

p.s the N.G?? i think its safe to said that JG really cover himself cause up until now he really making a LOT of NG when with Jieun... LOL its okay as long as they have fun i guess....

 

And what was with the utter lack of eye contact with the interviewer? I don't think Lee Joon-gi's eyes rested in the same place twice or for more than a second. I'd be curious to see if his eyes were equally shifty when discussing his other cast mates.

And JG commented something like "Why did u both go out without me and others cast members?" and JE reply is somthing like "im sorry to left u out but we have something to discuss Pyehaa.." kekekeke the way they teasing/joking each other is just so unique.. I love them so much

His voice is different, it's deeper. One more thing is he looked tired on the video. I don't know when did the interview happen but i hope that they are getting more than enough rest now.

It amazes me how he can ninja his way out of Seoul and as our captain said JE also went to Japan before without anyone knowing about it, this is a good thing cause they can just sneak out of Seoul to date somewhere else.  Just want to ask JG's longtime angels if this is the first time that he sneak out without his fans knowing it .

well.. he did before for RE... and also two weeks. we really didnt see it coming that he will be the male lead. hahahaha

but his ninja way is getting better now.. i dont know who teach him all that stuff.. kekekekek

Hi everybody! Finally I can post again after getting some troubles signing in for a while phewww...

Geez... another 'not-yet-to-be-revealed' project for JG? we really didn't have a clue until those photos and clips were posted on weibo and other sns accounts of fellow JG fans. Normally he'd just update while throwing hints lol... this time he's being a pro ninja. Oh, some fellow JG fans mentioned that according to the person who posted the clip of him in Italy,  JG's been filming some sort of variety show (hence his being busy with handphone?) but I'm not sure about the reliability of this info yet. He could have a magazine photoshoot as well. Now that he's been 'caught', he'll probably post his current selfie or photo or video on IG or weibo soon? haha... ninja Joon Gi suddenly appearing in Italy... really didn't see this coming. the last time he's in Italy was for filming 'Never Said Goodbye' in 2015 if my memory serves me well. I thought with his upcoming schedule in Singapore he'd rest and prepare a bit but apparently he's being a busy bee in a low key way lol... I just hope he keeps on posting on their MLSHR group chat and sending private messages of encouragement to his 'close colleague' who's been busy preparing her comeback album, too hehe...

 

u are right @NoonaE. its on 2015. before he filming for SWWTN. 

thanks @farida1012 for sharing.. do u guys notice something? he kinda avoid the interviewer eyes when he talked about ji eun! he also smile meaningfully when he is reminisce his happy time with ji eun. kyaaa.. this oppaa.. hahaha

( u guys should watch the whole interview video so that you know what i meant with he avoiding interviewer eyes. ) 

 

[meeibe16]

IU TV IN TAIWAN!!!! 20 mins long GOD!!!! DAEBAK!!!

 

 

[farida1012]

@meeibe16 watched it,  there's footage where JG come to Her concert and he come to her concert.  Can't hide my giddiness when she talk about him.  Really looooove it    

Edit: I think leather jacket that she brought on her way to JG oppa concert is his jacket

Can any JG fan tell me, what is he doing on a show like 'candy in my ears' ? I thought he likes JE!

[postnihilism]

@sublimelyheureuse IMO endless dragging of IU’s acting has a few sources:

Spoiler

 

1) Tall Poppy Syndrome. 

2) Confirmation bias - netizens were already biased against IU’s casting from day one and watched MLSHR with anti-bias goggles that caused IU to be judged nth times harsher than any other actor. (Compare that crowd’s opinion with international kdrama fans who watched MLSHR not even knowing IU is an idol)

3) Latent sexism, tbh. This narrative about LJG “having no luck with female leads” just reeks of it. Basically, people feel possessive about LJG and resent his “unworthy” female co-stars. (Note: Having an opinion about someone’s acting isn’t sexist—that’s just subjective—but the sheer amount of vitriol and the tendency to put IU down in order to prop LJG up is really telling.)   

 

 

Anyway, totally agree IU really excels with dramatic material. She stole the show in Producers, but she really levelled up in SHR and gave her best dramatic performance to date IMO. Also, I’m glad I’m not alone in being most emotionally invested by Soo’s character!

Spoiler

 

My most unpopular MLSHR opinion might be that I don’t think Soo was poorly written. The thing I appreciate most about SHR is that the characters are actually psychologically realistic—and that includes Soo. There’s been plenty of talk about Soo behaving inconsistently and irrationally. But… humans are inconsistent and irrational… especially when they’re in love.  Plus, Soo had serious trust and communication issues as a result of her experiences. A lot of “critics” (see: Dramabeans) seem to assess female characters based on how much they inspire and empower female viewers... But Soo’s character wasn’t designed to inspire and empower the audience. (Nor was any other MLSHR character… this was a tragedy, after all.) 

 

 

Back later to yell about the new material!!!

[cherrynea]

Jieun was talking about when joongi came to her concert.

when she finish singing ,she can already feel tht joongi was behind her..doing the the bat thing

and then when she take a look at  jg, she saw that jg is acting cool and into the character like that she don't know what to do..'ohh i shouldnt do like this" haha

 she take a look again at jg,and see jg looking at her giving a smile.that's when she thought jg is different.  

then she said she wants to do well today and didn't drink beer yesterday.manager ask her about her neck and she do that little dance.. (so cute)

she's  said she really thankful to jg about yesterday concert and how can she repay him back.the she said jg smile like in the picture saying

JG;'no~~jieunah,i had fun too" 

JE;but still oppa,reallyy i'm thankful i'll repay for it

JG: no..(if you come?)..hahahahah

JE ; oppa always said like that..

        oppa really the best..see you later

 

p/s:that's the best i can do..hehe

@MrKobegiant don't worry... 'My Ear's Candy' is actually not a matchmaking variety show like 'We Got Married'. The idea or the premise of the variety show is to show the audience the personal, more humane side of the participating stars. I think JG might have been interested in this idea since he often mentioned that despite being a popular star- not to mention a super friendly one- he's actually lonely. This program enables him to speak freely to an anonymous friend- who can be either male or female. If the rule hasn't changed yet, they are not allowed to meet at all- they can only speak until the battery of their handphones dies. Of course, to spark the interests of audience, the mystery of who the candy really is will be the main point... as well as the 'spicy flirts' or 'romantic talks' just like Jang Keun Suk and Yoo Inna did in the very first two episodes. Both JKS and Yoo Inna were trending on Naver Search after the episode broadcasts... talking about increasing popularity as well! However, the level of intimate talk depends on the person. I think JG would be less flirtatious if he is aware that someone might be watching him lol *cough JE cough* hehe...

I actually recommend JG fans and perhaps stargazers here to watch... I myself look forward to hearing JG's talks... I would like to know his personal opinions on stuffs and perhaps more of his personal stories, too...

And if JG is seriously thinking about taking a drama offer, this kind of variety show is the easiest for him. It won't require him to go on the set... he just needs to do his 'regular' activities and talks on the phone while the cameramen follow his every move. At least this is what I understood from watching Jang Keun Suk's 12 episodes of 'My Ear's Candy' before... Some episodes were really touching, when both of him and his candy shared their similar struggles and encouraged each other.

So please don't worry... I think this won't change anything unless he's actually fated with one of his Candies instead of JE lol... *knocking on the wooddd... please noooo*. He'll surely gain more fans after this show and perhaps also public sympathy which will be good for his future projects

PS: Since the setting of 'My Ear's Candy' should be 'natural', I think JG might have another project in Italy (photoshoot? or something else) and then the team of My Ear's Candy tagged along.

[darker91]

So it looks like JG will play Criminal Minds?

Stay positive guys, stargazers this the best gif from LJG

 

[gijoe8]

I just love the usage of 'You & I' and 'The Meaning of You' as the BGM for JG-related segments at 6:57 - 7:09 and 11:24 - 13:48  

At the waiting room of JG's fanmeet, uri jieun looks so touched/grateful/proud of JG (our OTP can't help but be proud of and praise each other) 

And at 13:17, she looks like she wanna kiss JG's pass photo haha (i know she's just imitating what JG said to her abt appearing at her concert). You know, like when we misses someone and keep staring/looking at his pic and suddenly we wanna kiss it like we kiss the real person 

So much love, tq IU TV (even no sub yet). Our ninjas : please keep loving each other even in lowkey mode

Yow!! I love your reasons for the invectives directed toward IU's acting! All three drivers definitely apply, and now that I think about them a bit more, I can see one or all of those trends in the posters who decry IU the most. Thanks!

Also, I completely agree with your take on MLSHR. Much of the show's power lies in its unflinching presentment of how people so often treat one another, based on their priorities and limited knowledge, at the time.

anyway to fill up the weekend i randomly made a short story about JoonU, it has no connection with the chapter I made previously, just something for fun, hope you guys can enjoy it  as much as i do,

  Reveal hidden contents

A Random interlude (A Jump to the Future)

 

His brain froze, he blinked, trying to process what he had just heard and he was too shocked to say anything. Slowly he turned his face to her, trying to read her expression. There was nothing but a happy excitement on it. Her beautiful face glowed more these past months, despite the couple bad months in her early pregnancy. She has become more beautiful than ever, his heart always pounded like crazy whenever he saw her.

 

“Triplets, doctor?” her voice pulled him back to reality, she was excited. 

 

“Yes congratulations! Looks like you are expecting triplets, we need to be extra careful and take additional care of your health.” The doctor smiled wisely.

 

“Oppa! We are having triplets! Isn’t this exiting?” 

 

Joon Gi, who was still too shocked by the news only nodded with blank eyes. He tried to put on a smile, but it was like pulling up a big truck with their own bare hands. 

 

‘What have I done.... oh my god.... What have I done to my Ji Eun ah... ommo... Ottokeee’ 

 

“Okay, let’s decide  the schedule for check-ups and other things too,” the doctor continued.

 

They discussed all things they needed to pay attention to, such as the food and also exercises. Joon Gi wasn’t really present , his mind was in mess. He had always loved kids, since he wa young. When he finally married the love of his life, Ji Eun, he directly told her he wanted kids. Ji Eun agreed because she loved kids, too. But to have three babies as their first born - he felt blessed and cursed at the same time. It was like being in heaven but at the same time in hell. 

 

‘How are we going to take care of them? It’s not that we don’t have money for it, just Ji Eun has always said that she wants to take care of the baby herself without a babysitter. I promised to help her, but three babies?’

 

He automatically grimaced because of the thoughts on his mind, when Ji Eun saw him.

 

“Are you okay, oppa?” she touched his elbow, concerned. “You have been very quiet since we came to the doctor. Is something troubling you?”

 

They were on their way back from the hospital. Joon Gi had been moving around like a robot without saying much since he received the news. Ji Eun seemed to notice. He didn’t know how to tell her how sorry he was, how much he worried and how he panicked thinking about the fact she was having his kids, all three of them, inside her petite figure. He was happy, he always was. When she told him that she was pregnant with their baby, he shouted and jumped around in joy. But now - hearing she would have these three babies at the same time, he couldn’t help to curse himself. He couldn’t imagine how much pain she would have to endure, how exhausting it would be and how much danger she would face. He had heard from his mom and sister the fact that women were always putting their life in danger when they gave birth.  He didn’t want to lose her.

 

“I am sorry Ji.... so, so sorry,” he blurted out in the end. He pulled the car over, because it was impossible to talk while driving.

 

“Sorry? What do you mean, oppa? Why are you sorry?” Ji Eun looked confused.

 

“I am sorry.... Oh gosh.... what have I done?” He put his hand over his face. He seriously didn’t know what to say.

 

Ji Eun looked at her husband with a wise smile, “I think you have done a lot oppa, like our honey moon remember?? Two times in the morning, then three times at night. We barely got out of the room,” she teased him.

“Oh yeah, also whenever you were back from your tour or I came back from my tour, you didn’t let me sleep till morning.”

 

Joon Gi slowly dropped his hand in devastation; listening to her, like it was all his fault.

 

“Oh my God, you should have told me to stop. Now, what have I done? I put you in this situation. I am the worst!” he exclaimed in guilt. Seeing his panicked face, Ji Eun chuckled.

 

“Are you not happy for our kids?” she asked calmly.

 

“No! I am happy, I want kids with you. It is the best gift you could ever give to me, but... but... straight to three??” He frowned and his eyes glistened with worry.

 

“We can do it, oppa! Don’t worry!” she entwined her fingers with his and smiled encouragingly.

 

He took a deep breath, calming his jumbled mind and just stared at her deeply. He softly brushed his hand on her cheek.

 

“It will be hard for you, Ji. I feel so bad that I am the one that put you in this situation. Having one baby is already hard enough. And here we are going to have triplets.”

 

Ji Eun smiled lovingly and quickly hugged him.“I won’t say it won’t be hard, oppa. But I am not alone, right? I have you right here at my. I can do it! No actually, we can do it. We will get through this whole pregnancy, because I have you. Because we have each other, please don’t worry, oppa.”

She pulled back and gazed deeply into his eyes, sending all her love to him and smiled assuringly. Then she dropped soft kisses on both of his eyes, one by one, on his high nose before finally going for his lips. The kisses, the way she stared at him, the message she send trough her gaze and her words had some kind of calming effect. Somehow he felt better and slowly gathered his confidence. He grabbed her face gently and gave her a slow and deep kiss. It was a kiss that was filled with all the love he had for her. He caressed her lips gently, taking his time in exploring her soft lips appreciatively, pulling out a little bit in between the kisses and returned to give deeper pressure. He could feel them both smiling in the process. He heard her sigh softly and eventually his tongue dwelled in, twirling with a slow dance inside her. When they finally parted, they closed their eyes in peace and hugged.

 

“I love you Ji, thank you for loving me,” he whispered with a determined look. “Thank you for being here, I don’t know what I would do without you. I promise you that you won’t face this alone.”

 

Ji Eun smiled, “I love you too, oppa.”

 

---

“Oppa…wake up. The plane has landed; we need to get off.” Ji Eun shook him awake. He blinked drowsily and rubbed his eyes lazily. How long had he been sleeping?

 

 

“Ji,” he took his time looking at her, something was different, something was missing. He tried to remember, and when he did, he suddenly grabbed her arms in surprise.

 

 

“Hey, why are we travelling when you are pregnant with triplets? We should be really careful. It can be dangerous for your health!”

 

 

Ji Eun just looked at him, confusion written on her face  “Triplets? Pregnant? Are you okay, oppa?”

 

 

“I am not okay! We shouldn’t have travelled! Let’s exit the plane  and meet a doctor. I need to make sure that you and the babies are okay.”

 

 

“I think you are still dreaming oppa. This is not even our first honeymoon night," Ji Eun laughed so hard in response, "unless you have knocked me out without my knowledge, but I am not pregnant, yet”

 

 

“Eh? ... a dream?” he looked dumbfounded

 

 

Ji Eun roared with laughter. She could hardly reply as she was nodding and repeating the word “triplets” and burst out laughing over and over again.

 

“Thank God, it was just a dream!” he finally exclaimed in relief, when he realized it had been only in his dream and joined her laughter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kyaaa, thank you @NerinaC  this short story is so amazing, I can't hold my imagination if Joon Gi and Ji Eun become newly husband and wife, please BBJX miracle become true ! 

[postnihilism]

After watching that short Joongi interview I've concluded that, potential romancing aside, the JoonU friendship is a beautiful and miraculous thing. Despite his seniority LJG actually treats Jieun as an equal. And it looks like he finally found a co-lead who can actually keep up with him/keep him in check.   (Mutual teasing!! Jieun poking fun at him at every opportunity!!!  )

And it's a long shot that IU and LJG would be cast together again, but if it happened I have a strong hunch that their chemistry would be even more sizzling and electrifying the second time round......

Also, I understood little of the IU TV vid, but every time she calls LJG "oppa" my soul leaves the building.
