what do you think?


She’s caring for me with each detail, I thought.  I’m really thankful.  -Kim Hyun Joong
There are moments in life when you know things are definite, like your first love, your first heartbreak, or when someone’s changed you for the better.   Every time I re-watch WGM, I sit there and try to figure out the exact moment they truly started caring for each other.  Was it after the photo shoot?  Or was it during the first farewell episode?  Maybe their friendship blossomed on the farming trip, perhaps?  And then when I’ve totally annoyed the crap out of Tommy, he tells me the same thing (though worded differently) each time, “there doesn't always have to be a defining moment, sometimes it just happens, you won’t find it on any one episode, it’s their combined time together.”  His reply always appeases me, yet I still catch myself wondering from time to time, “hmmm?  When did things start to change for them?”

I'm going to agree with Tommy. There were alot of moments that made me think they really like each other but I think it's a compilations of moments.

Awww, when did he fall for her? How about the vacation with Alex and Shinae. I believe they definitely bonded there!

i think it was japan...kim hyun joong opened up to her after japan a lot more. She showed him compassion and he returned it.

Definitely AFTER the first farewell. We could see that they're at ease during Ant Tour, especially during the fight. A lot of whispering.. touching.. BTS..

for me, the turning point was wedding photo shoot but Hyunjoong already showed his interest with Hwangbo in Japan episode ( Yeobo slip)..kekeke

I kind of agree with anon above me, in that I think he started to think more about what he feels for her when she was in Japan, especially after his Freudian slip. The wedding photoshoot probably allowed him to decide what he wanted to do about his feelings, and it was probably also at this time that Hye Jung started to think more seriously about what HJ was doing and saying in the show, and to look at them as not just things to do for the show. The first farewell is a turning point because it is here where they both expressed the wish to stay on, thus telling the other a bit of what they feel. In the succeeding episodes, you can see that they seem to have come to some understanding because they were freer to express what they felt and more "touchy-feely".

I had a feeling they meet outside of WGM . To me it was the match making eps where i actually could see he was showing his feelings out freely. To me everything seems to change in that eps.Before that they seem to be holding back. but in that eps it was like Wow! they were showing their feeling for each other freely/openly.

Its not love at first sight but liking at first sight.See the way HJ look at HB when she was opening the coke bottle with the spoon.They started caring for each other after Japan trip & friendship blossomed on the farming trip.Then definitely theres more than caring&feeling at the last episode.Just see how everybody who watched the show followed HB cried.So stressful!!!!!!!

ICE said...

Oh I've gone crazy rewatching the show again. MEME watch the last part where they were on the horse taking pictures. If u watch carefully I think u will notice something.

hmm... after the japan trip

at first, hj was suprised hb really come to japan but at last he seem to appreciate it since hb was so kind to cook for them, tried her to entertain them and he even got the chance to date someone in his 'own' way.. and the person who fullfil the special date is hb... so this is the turning point..

ICE said...

I just finished watching the last ep. Just feel how heart ache HB was when she's suppose to tell HJ future wife those things. When u're in love and got to hold back your feelings; just imagine how painful its going to be. I always can't get over it after watching the final part.

I think they started opennig their hearts from the housewarming party while HJ was holding HB in the water. They sang to each other and his & her friends all witnessed. Then, they more opened their hearts on the beach w/ Alshin couple. HJ gave her some cranes & told her that he was going to give 1000 cranes as keeping love. That is a strong statment to keep their love until die. Why was he going to give 1000cranes if he did not want to keep his relationship forever w/ her? Then, he felt deeply appreciation to her when she came to Japan to cook & clean his room & brother-in-laws. He was so happy for her devotion for him to come Japan & cook for him. He repeated about his keeping promise not to look at another girl. That is a strong statment also. Usually, any popular celebrity does not make that kind of promise even though they have realtionship; however, he made that promise again on the party in Japan. After that, the wedding scence made their love relationship deeper by doing kisses on their chicks. Even though their kisses on the chicks, they were more nervous w/ full of emotions compaired to the recent drama of his kissing w/o emtions. Then, the seperation episode, he was really changed to keep his relationship w/ her. Also, he was so nervous that when she was going to say "I love you or I'm sorry." In addtion, he was sure she was going to say "I love you." He read & knew what her reaction would be when he was asked what she could choose. In addtion to the farm episode, he was jealous about her comment. Justin.

i think in the first episode, they already made good impressions towards each other. they may be aloof and awkward but those little things when put together made them grow fond of each other. As they got to know each other at every episode, the more they realized things so there is really no defining moment. I think the fondness is there already, they just got hold of it as they knew it is just show. but as time goes by, they had difficulties suppressing the feelings and it was shown through their actions. It became automatic and natural.

and this is what i love in them...LOVE is truly....MAGICAL!

The Turning Point....
For Both Of Them to really open up to each other....
I think it's the Farm Episode when Hyun Joong serenade to Hye Jung!

I think Hyun Joong Open Up to Hye Jung first in Japan Episode with the slip of "Yeobo".... I love that moment seeing his shy/red face reaction...

In terms of Hye Jung, although she's very caring to Hyun Joong, doen't really mean that she's opening up for him yet....I think it's after hearing his serenade, she's started to open her heart for him....

On the side note, I can't help but to mention another slip of Hyun Joong during the farm episode, when the elderly teased Hye Jung of her age and she seems hurt by that (although she laugh it out), Hyun Joong slip and mumble, "Are you okay, Baby?"
OMG, if you don't pay attention to it, you may not notice, but this made me imagine how intimate they would be OFF Screen.....Wild Fancy.....

MeMe, All your post keep making me missing them a ton!!! Re-watching WGM trillion times.....

i agree with anony9... plus, when HB made the white vest for HJ as his bday gift and he made her the peanuts necklace... they fell for each other already...
