So handsome!! I know JE used to say that she doesn't like handsome guys but how can Ji Eun not fall for him . Also didn't JG doesn't want to work with an idol before CMIIW , but often the steps we take to avoid destiny leads us to it..

@kriswu @caramelovers75 Chinggus I'm so grateful for you two for taking the time to make our OTP videos. It inspired me to try and make one too. Don't think it'll be as good as yours but I want to try and cheer up our ship. I was wondering what app did you make the videos? Thanks in advance! 

 

Awwwe I'm also not an expert chingu. I just use iMovie and add filters in Photoshop.  If you're using PC, I highly recommend Sony Vegas Pro. For Android mobile, I honestly don't know since I'm an iOS user but I looked it up for you chingu, apps with good reviews are Adobe Premiere Clip and KineShot.

I would definitely watch your FMV when it's out! Fighting!  

(just excuse So LOL)

eehh thanks for taking notice of my request! I'll be waiting but probably not getting my hopes up because its indeed difficult to find those moments. 

No problem chingu

However for your second request, I compiled pics of Jieun from the BTS where she's looking at JG with affection. If only we have videos of these moments. 

We can see in these pictures that JG's chubby cheeks are kinda gone so these pics were probably taken during the last few months of filming (where they obviously got closer and are more comfortable with each other.)

Something I've always wanted to ask about this clip. What is So saying in Korean? It matches up perfectly to the English "what". Even if it's wae his mouth closes at the end so it looks there's a "t" pronunciation. Does that make sense?

That's because he was actually trying to say "Hwaiting", like Jung.  so he was just like "Hwat?", couldn't pronounce it well

I noticed he's always making shortcuts of Soo's modern words. Like with Pegasus, it became "Pesus". Hahahahahahahahahaha oh Wang So 

And btw, @Silvermaine GURL I LOVE YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU WROTE. I PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO YOU IN THIS WAR AGAINST THOSE SAYING JOONU HAS NO CHEMISTRY. I'M READY TO FIGHT LOL

Just came back laughing my a** off from WookSoo fandom forum. Something like "why choose abusive relationship with So" and "Wook and Soo are sizzling with chem while So have none of it" like WAT ARE WE EVEN WATCHING THE SAME SHOW.

 

 

I was laughing sarcastically while reading your post. I don't know how i'll react if i am the one reading their comments.

Anyway,  Wook didn't love Soo. True love is selfless and it is prepared to sacrifice. He showed the opposite. It was So who showed what true love means.

Those who insist that Wook and Soo have this sizzling chemistry are dreaming. Even to use the word sizzling is too much because it's not that very obvious besides their chemistry is nothing compared to SoHae. SoHae's chemistry is simply too much. 

 

[Lyssa]

Seem our stargazers wandering around..scattered all over the places...haha.  Then..back here to share the findings..analyse, review, brain storming and share our tot...  Some may focusing on fmv, fanfics & digging the histories of our JoonU interviews...assist to translate any articles countered so that all of us here can be updated...

The rest may cheering, encouraging, motivate & become tension remedy wif their spontaneous comedies...Oh how i love this thread!  Gud job stargazers..  We're bunch of creative, intelligent and super talented shippers..

For those new shippers...back read this thread all over again..all the juicy infos, gift, tumbler, JoonU profiling...i mean EVERYTHING are here.. Think again, wow..we actually can raise a fund for MLSHR 2 & engage 'Goblin' PD for the project guys!! *delulu to the max*.  I don't be surprised if the advertisement agency offer to sponsor...because some of stargazers here..really can make the birds to come down wif their words...

But...i really miss them like crazy...our LJG & LJE...How the girl is doing?  Yes..yes..HER ALBUM ikr... and LJG...his birthday, Singapore invitation and Criminal Minds...  Pls..Pls..BBJX miracles come true..

[sooji28]

I Miss both LJG and LJE. Why i'm sensing the two of them are now getting low because of the news this past few weeks. Especially when JE and JKH broke up news were resurface. They want to cooling down all the news related to both of them. 

LJG is probably taking his time off with his family in Busan, because it is a new year holiday. 

But he was online yesterday, but didn't update his social media whatsoever. I just hope this only for a while. And when LJG or LJE updating their SNS, it will give US crumbs, or another cake. Please let BBJX miracle be real. 

[postnihilism]

@NoonaE and @Gabi Bros Thanks a lot for the links! IU and Jang Geun Suk were cute / hilarious in those clips, but yeah, there’s none of the non-professional intimacy of JoonU (i.e. flirting, gushing, touchiness, giggling over nothing in particular…)

@Silvermaine LOL thanks for sharing this dissertation. More in spoiler:

“Pseudo-feminism” is totally right. I look at fiction with a feminist lens too, but let’s not confuse that with appropriating other people’s triggers for petty shipping wars. 

Honestly, I don’t have a problem with people criticising So’s behaviour, but you can tell it’s disingenuous and petty when worse behaviour (i.e. Wook’s) is given a pass or hardly discussed. What’s REALLY happening is that people are pressed that a thing they don’t like is popular, so therefore feel the need to vocally oppose the thing because they apparently cannot handle lots of other people having different tastes and opinions. 

It’s also telling when people are purporting to defend a female character while ignoring/dismissing her choices in canon. E.g. the argument that “So was a bad boyfriend, therefore she should have stayed with Wook” (????) which totally ignores the fact that Haesoo chose to cut ties with Wook and never wavered romantically about him again. Like, if the argument in favour of Wook in the first half of SHR was that Haesoo chose him over So, then the same logic should apply in the second half when she repeatedly chooses So out of all FOUR of her options. But apparently not because the heroine’s choices are only acknowledged so long as they favour whatever dude the viewer prefers. (:

Anyway, complaining that SoSoo was unhealthy is a moot point since SHR isn’t supposed to be a model for real-life relationships, it’s supposed to be a tragedy — and not just the “star-crossed lovers are doomed by forces outside their control” type of tragedy but the kind where the characters’ own flaws screw up their chance for happiness. The show is quite clear about framing problematic things (e.g. the forced kiss, Gwangjong/Haesoo being imbalanced) as problematic, so squawking that these things are PROBLEMATIC!!! really isn’t adding much to the conversation. 

 

 

~ end shade ~

Hear hear on IU pulling her weight next to LJG~ (I remember people were dragging her for looking uneasy and O_O with him in earlier episodes… yet they totally missed the point that Soo was supposed to be extremely conflicted about her attraction to So. After getting the visions about Gwangjong, Soo is meant to be at war with herself and doing her best to close her heart to So. IU played that exactly as written — you can just see her struggling to get a grip in scenes like “you should forget me now” where So gets physically close to Soo. ) IU in general is just a great romantic heroine — I didn’t think she and Kim Soohyun had any romantic chemistry in Producers but she sold her character’s unrequited love 100% and pretty much carried that ship by herself. 

Nothing to add about LJG, he exuded heat 24/7.

THIS SO MUCH. Their pre-existing bias and weird stance on pseudo-feminism is what really got me. So is one heck of a problematic character, but he was written that way, and he had the history to account for it. I'm not saying that this is an excuse, but it is a reason. The people on other side of the MLSHR shipping war are totally blinded imo. They would willingly forgive anyone, including a fratricidal maniac; but not So, who was an abuse victim, just because of their unfair bias. 

Anyway, you're correct. So and Soo were never meant to last in Goryeo, it was just impossible. That was one of the points of the story: it was a historical paradox. And I get it. As a SoSoo shipper, it was hard to accept, but I understand. Maybe they were two souls connected, who can find their way back to each other a few hundred years later (poetic interpretation). AND I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. But to declare that Soo would have been better off with Wook in Goryeo or in the present era is just way up disgusting and condemning crime.

Oh, and to say that the main pair had no chemistry just because of one's bias is absolutely distorted. Every time one sees a scene of the pair that he/she does not stan, then it's understandable if he/she dislikes it outright regardless of the scene. But what's annoying is to invalidate the opinion of the majority just so one could turn the tides favorable to one's own opinion. 

That being said, I believe that IU and Ha Neul had no romantic and sexual chemistry; at least, not even 5% of what IU and Joon Gi showed.  

HAHA OBVIOUSLY THE SHOW LEFT ME BITTER AF SO I HAD TO WRITE MY OWN FANFICTIONS AND DRAW MY OWN STUFF. HERE'S A PICTURE OF QUEEN SOO. THIS SKETCH IS AN ACCOMPANIMENT TO MY FANFICTION "IMPERIAL". ENJOY LOL

First I think that IU has low self esteem and so she says she isn't attracted to handsome men. Maybe she thinks handsome men will not like her. But she came across a man whose not only handsome, but caring, and funny. I'm sure she now has a change of opinion. And the older she gets and more confident she becomes, she will see that she deserves to fall in love with a handsome man. 

Sorry for cutting your post. I think you are right.

[akinahana89]

Yes, IU has admitted it before, that she doesn't like handsome men because she will always doubt and get the feeling that they are too handsome to really be hers.

Joon Gi would be the perfect exception to that because he will show her time and time again that he is only hers. ^^ He has already done so much for her as friends, can you imagine the depth he would be willing to go for her when they are more than just friends? Wow~!!

Oh I hope this wasn't referring to my previous posted clip and discussion on 'Bel Ami FM' + the comparisons? Because if it was so, I would like to say that my message's been totally misunderstood then. My sincere apologies for not being able to deliver my intended points well. That post was supposed to highlight the points to those who regarded JoonU interaction as merely a 'brilliant, pure business-related' strategy i.e. fan service-- that it can't simply regarded as so.

Anyway... I'll refrain from posting a bit of irrelevant, ambiguous stuffs in the future .

Stay happy and cool, fellow Stargazers. Out there, there are a lot of seemingly sound arguments for one NOT to ship JoonU- to merely point a finger that we're just too delusional. Maybe those people also need to read some equally sound arguments for one to stay in the JoonU ship without being seen as too overly emotional and defensive without a solid base. They might not understand our thoughts fully- yet it might earn the respect we would like to have anyway.

Good night!

I was reading your post about some people says about what LJG and LJE did was purely fans service and branding strategies. I am totally agree with your analysis. 

I also read in other thread about it too. That what LJG did in Taiwan is basically only business, fans service, and brand strategies. Because he as a strong Brand image about him self (ie, caring, loving his fans above all) is doing it purely fans service. But just like you, i have to disagree with their opinion. Because we can't deny their glowing interaction to each other. They are good actors. But one can not lie, especially when you are looking blushing and OBVIOUS shyness.

Well, if people called me dululu, I am not the only one to see their OBVIOUS INTERACTIONS.

Look at LJE wide laugh. She dfntly so happy to see him. Especially in front of her fans.

 

look at LJG adoring eyes.

 

Look at both LJG and LJE eyes and smiles.

 

There is something going on between them. But my opinion, there were not just a merely their Brand Strategies.

Miss them so much! Hope to hear from them soon, even any news remotely related to them.

I've been watching Goblin and found something interesting. Lee Dong Wook (second male lead) was co-star of JG in My Girl. They enlisted to the army at the same time. Lee was paired up with Yoo In Na, JE's best friend.
