Discovering Koreanovelas and Kim Hyun Joong - Part II

We Got Married

I discovered the Korean reality show, We Got Married (WGM), after watching Boy Over Flowers. I was curious about the comments made on Boys Over Flowers youtube videos about Kim Hyun Joong’s “wife”. She seemed well-loved by a lot of fans although there were the occasional nasty comments from jealous ones.

We Got Married was a reality show that partnered single celebrities as married couples. They were given missions through several episodes and this was where Kim Hyun Joong started really getting popular with his pretend “wife”, Hwang Bo Hye Jung. They became known as the Lettuce/Ssangchu/Joongbo couple.

I started watching the show out of curiosity on youtube but the awkward but often hilarious moments of this quirky couple sucked me in to watching it episode by episode (even finding the missing episodes in mysoju.com. I was actually rolling on the floor on midnights for almost 3 weeks except for the tearful ending episode that took me a while to finish. It was just difficult to end the happy times, I guess.

It was in the WGM show that I was able to “meet” Hyun Joong’s SS501 bandmates and Hwang Bo’s friends, Wonder Girls as they made house visits to the couple. Both bands are quite good and wildly popular in South Korea and both are expanding their fan base all over Asia and the US.

Nowadays, I cannot help but recommend the reality show, We Got Married, to anybody who likes to watch TV shows. Curious? Here are the links for it:

Since WGM usually featured 4 couples in one episode, it would be better to use the youtube link to exclusively watch the Joongbo couple but if you are curious enough to watch the other couples who can be as entertaining in their own way, then use the mysoju link. Do not be surprised though if the link I gave started on episode 9 because it was where the Joongbo or Lettuce couple started their episode.
