HERES THE BETTER TRANSLATIONS FROM SJK Interview

 

Source:: http://m.entertain.naver.com/read?oid=213&aid=0000864685  (Trans by smiletall)

 

 

 

Interview Part 1:

 

Q: We heard the show was monitored by the cast. Where did you watch the show?

I watched the show at (Lee) Kwang Soo's house a couple times. Recently, I think I watched the show a lot while filming commercials. It was because I was curious about the real-time reactions. I was partly curious about the reports I would see being written by journalists, so I watched a couple times with my close school friends too. They tell me things others might not say.

 

 

Q: YSJ was a man's (Tn: referring to the viewers) enemy but also a hero. What is your dating style in real life?

To answer the second question first, I learned instead from YSJ what women would like. Of course KES and KWS (the writers) created aspects (of YSJ), but I think I know why so many female viewers liked YSJ. I think I learned what women would like to hear from their men. In reality, if I was similar to YSJ I would have received a lot of love. I wonder if a man like like YSJ really exists. Like the writers said, YSJ seems to be a fantasy. My married friends said a lot to me. But it doesn't seem right to say that the character I acted out is an enemy because of that. A hero is a bit burdensome. Let's just say he's a cool guy.

 

Q: Did KES writing make you cringe?
I think it's just a matter of preference in writing style. Of course, there are probably people who feel that way and I respect it. In truth, I didn't feel like the lines I was acting out were very cringeworthy that often. If there were moments when I did feel that way, I tried to add my own skills and charm. If someone has a weakness, then I can cover for it with a strength of my own, and likewise, if I have a shortcoming, I believe my partner also cover for me. That's why I thought this project was really great. If someone thinks that a line is cringeworthy, then I don't have to deliver a line that way. I think it's a matter of working together.

 

Q: YSJ kept coming back to life that you were called a phoenix. What are your thoughts?

I think a phoenix is right. I came back a lot. Personally, I liked those aspects. Despite everything, our drama genre was a melodrama, and I think it was important to reinforce the melodramatic aspect. With that in mind, I was satisfied with writers plans, I respect it. When I was watching ep 15 and saw YSJ return, I also felt touched. While watching ep 15, I talked (Tn: Kakao/messaging) with the cast. In those terms, it seemed good. I am satisfied.

 

Q: Any lines that were memorable?

There are quite a few. While filming for a CF yesterday, I rewatched the past espisodes of DOTS. In doing so, there was a line that made me think 'That's quite charming.' "Don't think that you lost. I still like you more anyways." I thought it was charming. At the end of ep 15, "That hard thing to do, I did it" was also a line, though it is said often, that had a different appeal at that moment.

 

Q: Any parts of the script that were hard to understand?

More than hard to understand, there was a moment I couldn't understand. While filming the wine kiss, I was worried. From the viewer's perspective, if we do the kiss so early, I worried if there would there be enough emotion, enough emotional investment between KMY and YSJ. But I was wrong. The viewers really loved the fast pace. I was really surprised when I watched the episode. I felt like I had worried for no reason.

 

Q: When watching SJK, it seems like melodrama is your speciality. What is your secret?

It feels wrong to say that it's my melodrama acting secret, but even if it's not a melo, the most important and basic thing is "books" (Tn: It literally says "book" but I think he's referring to the script).  If you go according to the book, it will be fine.  That's why I think that the script is the most important.  This line, this scene, the scene before. I think about why the writer would have written this from the writer's perspective a lot. And if I have have to really pick an acting secret, I wonder if its showing who I really am. When acting out melos, I believe in not overacting (Tn: He actually said not to act "ëŠë¼í•˜ê²Œ" which means like "greasy" as when a guy is really cringeworthy but that translates weird lol.)

 

Q: We heard there were a lot of adlibs.  Which scenes?

I couldn't match up to SDY in terms of adlibs. But it's true, YSJ did a bit more adlibs than SDY. Generally, I didn't do very many adlibs. I only did it often with SDY. Even when it's very sad, guys don't discuss these things. We express things by joking and so we did that a lot. JG-ssi responded to my jokes well.

 

Q: JG-ssi said you alcohol tolerance was comparable to him.

I went out to drink a lot with the actors who played soldiers. Rather than an equal tolerance, it was more like I didn't want to get drunk because I had filming the next day. I think that's why hyung said that.  I can never beat hyung (laughs). (Tn: hahahahaha poor JG).

 

Q: There are opinions on the "pro-military" aspects of the show.  What are the thoughts of the cast?

I was going to leave the answer to the writers, but in terms of the cast's perspective, I will answer earnestly. I think those sentiments arose because of the occupation as a soldier. I received a similar question from the 9 o'clock news anchor and saw a lot of reports. I respect their opinions. If the viewers felt that way, I can't say anything. But I didn't interpret it that way.  Largely because I also received the project and reviewed it, read the script, acted it out, and watched it, I thought a lot about how people would consider it. Whether it was about how we salute our nation, YSJ's death, these responsibilities can be considered,  But I didn't really think this way.  You can consider the nation's standards just by who you save and the tactics used, but I also thought of the word: "promise." I thought of the promise made to loved ones. If you think of it in a larger perspective, that can mean the promise made to KMY, the promise made to the nation, and even bigger, it can be towards peace as well. (Tn: hope that makes sense. It was kind of a lengthy answer haah)

 

Q: Your teamwork with SHK-ssi was so good that a scandal arose. It also seems likely that your ideal type would have changed as you grew older.  How so?

There was a lot of reports about my ideal type. My ideal type is still a wise woman. That seems the most important to me. While filming DOTS, I spent the most time with SHK-noona and so I learned a lot. She is a sunbae-nim who is at a position where I can't even dare to surpass and watching her constantly work hard left a deep impression on me and made me think "This person isn't SHK for no reason." She's the type that considers others a lot. It is also apparent in her acting style. In ep 15-16, KMY had a lot of crying scenes. Because of my injury, she shot them all at once since I was getting treatment. Since I wasn't making an appearance, she shot the scenes continuously even though it must have been hard. I felt really grateful then. I also want to treat my hoobaes in the same way. Her personality is also very confident. I felt there was a lot I could learn from her as a hoobae.

 

Q: Were there any other sunbaes that helped?

While acting, I worked with very impressive people. I received help from a lot people. I was really happy to work with Kang Shil In sunbae (Tn: The actor who played YMJ's dad). There was a project that ended up not working out that we were working on together, so I was happy to see him again. At a gathering not too long ago, I was able to exchange phone numbers with him.  He sent me a long message that almost moved me to tears. I learned a lot from his words.

I also need to mention JG hyung.  He's done a lot of movies and projects so he seemed very much at ease. He gives off the impression of, "Just try it" so I want to follow how he treats his hoobaes (Tn: Basically JG is very encouraging). I'm also grateful to David McInnis. It must have been hard filming in Korea, but he has such a nice attitude and his passion was impressive.

 

 

Interview Part 2:

 

Q: You became an honorary tourism ambassador for Korea and met President Park Geun Hye.

I was a bit nervous about meeting the president. I don't know if the cameras caught it, but without knowing I said "It's nice to meet you for the first time." But actually I had met her at an event in the past before going to the army. The president said to me "But we met before. Did you come back from the army well?" I was sorry and grateful at the same time. There was that kind of behind-the-scenes story. We talked about various things about the show. Since I'm receiving a lot of love right now, she told me good things and to remain humble. I agreed a lot with what she told me.

 

Q: SJK-ssi looks confident. What would you reveal to be your strength as an actor?

While working on DOTS, I felt that my thoughts were right and my confidence grew. On site, for all my projects, I'm the gun-ho type (Tn: He said 으쌰으쌰 which is more literally like 'let's do it! let's do it!'). I strongly believe that all the members (staff/cast) of the film should be involved. It's a responsibility I feel as the lead actor. I think that this is part of my job.

 

Q: From  being  Chul-soo in "Werewolf Boy" to YSJ in DOTS, in what ways would you like to hear that you have changed or evolved? A lot of people seem to sense a lot of similarity between YSJ and SJK. What do you think is your charm?

My charm, is it okay for me to talk about this myself? (laughs). When watching DOTS, there's a scene where I meet KMY and her mother. Her mother is quick to notice the situation and says "I'm not that conservative of a person" but I say "I'm conservative."  That moment felt very familiar to me. I'm actually very conservative, and I have a cheesy/old fashioned side. I'm also very classic (Tn: like traditional). In order to live and work in this current world, I feel like I have to adjust this kind of personality often, but at the same time I work hard to live according to my own lifestyle (Tn: he literally said his own "color"). I think if you want to talk about my charm, part of it would be trying to work with everyone well, from my company family to the staff on-site. But some people might see it as being overly friendly.  It's a bit embarrasing to talk about this about myself.

 

Not too long ago, when DOTS ep 15 ended, "Werewolf Boy" played on TV. I hadn't seen it in a long time and thought it was well made. I sent a text message to the director. When comparing Chul-soo and YSJ, more than  the projects, I think it was mainly because I went and completed my army service that it felt different.  While I was in the army, Son Hyun Joo sunbae's words of "Just act as a regular soldier would" stayed with me. Apart from just an actor, the time I spent as 29 and 30 yrs old helped me a lot. I discovered that there were many different kinds of people in the army, and I think that shows in my acting. I feel like I gained a sense of ease from experiencing the army and those feelings are also visible in my acting. So I think it's a good think I went to the army.

 

Q: It's been 9 years since you debuted. What were you goals back then, and do you think you achieved those goals now?

When I was a rookie, I felt that I had to experience a lot of different kinds of projects/roles.  More than thinking that I had to become the main actor, I felt like I had to quickly do a variety of projects. In that sense, I think I did achieve my goal. I think I'm still in that process too. Trying to do different projects is still a goal of mine. In that sense, 'Battleship Island' means a lot to me. In the future too, when thinking about what project to work on I will approach them with the same thoughts.

 

Q: Do you feel any different as a Hallyu star?

I'm grateful for the question. It's a question I ask myself a lot these days. But I don't really know. I did experience it first hand when I went to Hong Kong, but I don't think it's everything.  A part of me tries to not forget my rookie mindset, but another part of me feels like I should grow and change. If my responsibilities increase (Tn: He says ê·¸ë¦‡ì´ ì»¤ì¡Œë‹¤ which literally translates to 'his bowl got bigger.'  I guess it can translate to he just has more on his plate.) but I stay the same, then I won't be able to handle it well. It seems that change is inevitable, but it's important to maintain your core values.  My appearance will of course change. I'm half joking and half sincere here, but my earnings have also changed. But I still am trying to live the same way. Also, I still don't really feel like I am a Hallyu star despite being called one. In terms of being Hallyu star, I learn a lot for SHK. She's been persistently active abroad and in that aspect, I think she is a true Hallyu star. I'm working hard on being confident and brave (Tn: This sentence is a little hard to determine who the subject is.. if he's referring to himself or SHK.. but it makes a bit more sense if it's himself so I just went with that.) I actually think the real Hallyu star is Lee Kwang Soo.

 

Q: Why do you think you have more on your plate? (Tn: Again the whole  bigger bowl ê·¸ë¦‡ì´ ì»¤ì¡Œë‹¤ thing)

It might sound arrogant to say that I have more on my plate. But it's true that I have more responsibilities to handle. I have to do well to take care of my hard working manager and provide pay for the staff I work with. A lot of things have to be considered together. I also have to consider all the fans abroad supporting me and try not to disappoint them. A proper way to do that is to succeed in good projects as an actor. I was asked about my goals as a rookie--the mindset as a rookie and what I didn't know then but do now, all those concerns are included in my growing plate (Tn: or bowl I guess hah). When I see a hyung like Cha Tae Hyun sunbae-nim, I consider him to be a person with a lot on his plate. I'm working hard to adjust and I learn a lot from hyung-nim's actions.

 

Q: This might be a sensitive topic, but did you vote this election?

I am respectfully saying this, but to be honest, these days I am a bit upset. My family is exposed to the media and our home is being disrupted. I understand its part of being a celebrity, but it's also a bit sad. Just a moment ago too, I was considering respectfully asking to not talk about my family. Isn't it ok to request that my privacy is respected? Things like voting is a personal thing, so I haven't even talked to my company about it. I was upset that pictures of my ex-girlfriend were circulating around online. I think those things should remain private. 

 

(Tn: I sense that actually SJK was really upset about invasion of family and privacy as he responded this way to the question about voting.. which is not the same question posted by kpopherald. I don't know. He sounds a lot more upset to me when reading it in Korean, but he was still respectful about it.:( )

 

Q: With DOTS and now Battleship Island, you are taking on the role of a soldier again. Do you think the role as a soldier fits you well? What new side of yourself are you planning to show us in Battleship Island?

Taking on the role of a soldier, I didn't even know that I would do it. In the past, I didn't even think that I would ever become a soldier. But as I got older, and I went and came back from the army,  the roles as a soldier naturally came along. I don't have a different mindset just because the role is a soldier. With DOTS, the script was good. With Battleship Island, the script was also fun. I read the script/summary first and then again a second and third time to study the character. I'm still preparing for the role as an independence fighter so I'm not sure how it might be portrayed, but while his character might seem similar to YSJ, there are differences as well so I think it will be fun. It is a project I am looking forward to as well.

 

Q: Do you think about breaking away form the "flower boy" image?

I don't ever think about throwing away the "flower boy" image. This is because I feel that maintaining looks is an important aspect of an actor. I will work hard to take care of my skin and I will do my best to slow down aging as much as possible. (Tn: LOL) In order to improve my acting skills, I will work on these aspects. I don't think that acting well is everything. That which can be expressed from appearances, whether it is your body or face, I believe these are important as well. But if the fact that my flower boy image isn't going to be helpful for a certain role, then I have no qualms about throwing it away.

 

Q: What roles do you want to take on in the future?

There are so many roles I want to try. I am pretty greedy when it comes to acting. For now, I was able to work on a type of material I've been wanting to try rather than a specific role. That is Battleship Island. I wanted to work on a project that took place during the Japanese occupation, and just around that time this project came in and I was able to work on something that I wanted. Apart from that, I want to try a character that is very cold. (Tn: i.e. distant/stern).  I really like Edward Norton, and he comes out as cold in many projects. Before I get older, I want to try a character that portrays coldness well.

HERES THE BETTER TRANSLATIONS FROM SJK Interview

It's a bit embarrasing to talk about this about myself.

 

Not too long ago, when DOTS ep 15 ended, "Werewolf Boy" played on TV. I hadn't seen it in a long time and thought it was well made. I sent a text message to the director. When comparing Chul-soo and YSJ, more than the projects, I think it was mainly because I went and completed my army service that it felt different. While I was in the army, Son Hyun Joo sunbae's words of "Just act as a regular soldier would" stayed with me. Apart from just an actor, the time I spent as 29 and 30 yrs old helped me a lot. I discovered that there were many different kinds of people in the army, and I think that shows in my acting. I feel like I gained a sense of ease from experiencing the army and those feelings are also visible in my acting. So I think it's a good think I went to the army.

 

Q: It's been 9 years since you debuted. What were you goals back then, and do you think you achieved those goals now?

When I was a rookie, I felt that I had to experience a lot of different kinds of projects/roles. More than thinking that I had to become the main actor, I felt like I had to quickly do a variety of projects. In that sense, I think I did achieve my goal. I think I'm still in that process too. Trying to do different projects is still a goal of mine. In that sense, 'Battleship Island' means a lot to me. In the future too, when thinking about what project to work on I will approach them with the same thoughts.

 

Q: Do you feel any different as a Hallyu star?

I'm grateful for the question. It's a question I ask myself a lot these days. But I don't really know. I did experience it first hand when I went to Hong Kong, but I don't think it's everything. A part of me tries to not forget my rookie mindset, but another part of me feels like I should grow and change. If my responsibilities increase (Tn: He says ê·¸ë¦‡ì´ ì»¤ì¡Œë‹¤ which literally translates to 'his bowl got bigger.' I guess it can translate to he just has more on his plate.) but I stay the same, then I won't be able to handle it well. It seems that change is inevitable, but it's important to maintain your core values. My appearance will of course change. I'm half joking and half sincere here, but my earnings have also changed. But I still am trying to live the same way. Also, I still don't really feel like I am a Hallyu star despite being called one. In terms of being Hallyu star, I learn a lot for SHK. She's been persistently active abroad and in that aspect, I think she is a true Hallyu star. I'm working hard on being confident and brave (Tn: This sentence is a little hard to determine who the subject is.. if he's referring to himself or SHK.. but it makes a bit more sense if it's himself so I just went with that.) I actually think the real Hallyu star is Lee Kwang Soo.

 

Q: Why do you think you have more on your plate? (Tn: Again the whole bigger bowl ê·¸ë¦‡ì´ ì»¤ì¡Œë‹¤ thing)

It might sound arrogant to say that I have more on my plate. But it's true that I have more responsibilities to handle. I have to do well to take care of my hard working manager and provide pay for the staff I work with. A lot of things have to be considered together. I also have to consider all the fans abroad supporting me and try not to disappoint them. A proper way to do that is to succeed in good projects as an actor. I was asked about my goals as a rookie--the mindset as a rookie and what I didn't know then but do now, all those concerns are included in my growing plate (Tn: or bowl I guess hah). When I see a hyung like Cha Tae Hyun sunbae-nim, I consider him to be a person with a lot on his plate. I'm working hard to adjust and I learn a lot from hyung-nim's actions.

 

Q: This might be a sensitive topic, but did you vote this election?

I am respectfully saying this, but to be honest, these days I am a bit upset. My family is exposed to the media and our home is being disrupted. I understand its part of being a celebrity, but it's also a bit sad. Just a moment ago too, I was considering respectfully asking to not talk about my family. Isn't it ok to request that my privacy is respected? Things like voting is a personal thing, so I haven't even talked to my company about it. I was upset that pictures of my ex-girlfriend were circulating around online. I think those things should remain private.

 

(Tn: I sense that actually SJK was really upset about invasion of family and privacy as he responded this way to the question about voting.. which is not the same question posted by kpopherald. I don't know. He sounds a lot more upset to me when reading it in Korean, but he was still respectful about it.:( )

 

Q: With DOTS and now Battleship Island, you are taking on the role of a soldier again. Do you think the role as a soldier fits you well? What new side of yourself are you planning to show us in Battleship Island?

Taking on the role of a soldier, I didn't even know that I would do it. In the past, I didn't even think that I would ever become a soldier. But as I got older, and I went and came back from the army, the roles as a soldier naturally came along. I don't have a different mindset just because the role is a soldier. With DOTS, the script was good. With Battleship Island, the script was also fun. I read the script/summary first and then again a second and third time to study the character. I'm still preparing for the role as an independence fighter so I'm not sure how it might be portrayed, but while his character might seem similar to YSJ, there are differences as well so I think it will be fun. It is a project I am looking forward to as well.

 

Q: Do you think about breaking away form the "flower boy" image?

I don't ever think about throwing away the "flower boy" image. This is because I feel that maintaining looks is an important aspect of an actor. I will work hard to take care of my skin and I will do my best to slow down aging as much as possible. (Tn: LOL) In order to improve my acting skills, I will work on these aspects. I don't think that acting well is everything. That which can be expressed from appearances, whether it is your body or face, I believe these are important as well. But if the fact that my flower boy image isn't going to be helpful for a certain role, then I have no qualms about throwing it away.

 

Q: What roles do you want to take on in the future?

There are so many roles I want to try. I am pretty greedy when it comes to acting. For now, I was able to work on a type of material I've been wanting to try rather than a specific role. That is Battleship Island. I wanted to work on a project that took place during the Japanese occupation, and just around that time this project came in and I was able to work on something that I wanted. Apart from that, I want to try a character that is very cold. (Tn: i.e. distant/stern). I really like Edward Norton, and he comes out as cold in many projects. Before I get older, I want to try a character that portrays coldness well.

Oh wow, what a great interview from him. I don't know if it has to do with him doing academically well, but his answers are so good and shown a whole different maturity. Respect!

Song Joong Ki Asked Whether Ideal Type Has Changed After Working With Song Hye Kyo

 

 

 

 

As the incredibly popular “Descendants of the Sun†has drawn to a close, lead actor Song Joong Ki recently sat down for an interview to talk about the drama.

 

During one segment, the interviewer mentioned that his chemistry with Song Hye Kyo was so good that dating rumors surrounded them throughout the drama’s run. The interviewer also asked if his ideal type had changed as he grew older.

 

“There were a lot of articles written about my ideal type,†Song Joong Ki said. “But my ideal type is still a wise and sensible woman. I think that’s the most important thing and that hasn’t changed.â€

 

On working with Song Hye Kyo, he said, “I spent the most time with Song Hye Kyo noona during the drama filming so she helped me a lot. She’s a sunbae that I can never catch up to, but when I saw how hard she works, I thought her reputation was well-deserved.â€

 

“She is very respectful of the people around her,†he added. “In Episode 15 and 16, the character Kang Mo Yeon had a lot of crying scenes. It must have been hard for Song Hye Kyo to portray an emotional scene without anyone else, but she got very absorbed in her acting. So I felt grateful to her. I thought that as a hoobae, I had to follow in her footsteps. Her personality is very confident and I felt that that is also something I should learn from her as a hoobae.â€

 

 

----

 

HE addressed her as sunbaenim-noona just sake of media, i dont think he did it for his personal life, Cause most of Korean couple used to call the same way due to pay their RESPECT for each other.

KNETIZEN comments routing for this couple! (Translation by bbunie)

• Link:: http://entertain.naver.com/ranking/comment/list?oid=213&aid=0000864685

 

 

 

DOTS SJK: "Scandal with SHK? She is an untouchable senior" Interview 1(title is misleading you can see from the comments- its a clickbait)I just went over some comments that are relating to the couple. I know some are wrong but I tried my best! and its past 2am here I'll fix/add more in the morning so tired

 

(+1190,-88)Hmm~ So what if she unreachable there is only 3 years difference you guys match really well~ SHK seems like a wise person~ You guys have the same feeling and you guys match well JKshi~

 

-She is wise, loyal and she is works hard~ Whoever takes her hand in marriage won the lottery~

 

-Lovely HK~~

 

-There is only 3 years difference but seems as if there is 30 years between them..

 

-She is major senior. How long has SHK been in the business... Of course she is a major senior

(+1206,-96) If you guys date I will congratulate  you whole heartily but I don't think SHK will.. She knows people will judge her if she dates another costar

 

-Honestly she's too pretty for males to leave her alone, also she is straight forward so she confessed to her previous relationships before . Also why does the female always get blamed...

 

-She is so lovely even as a woman myself I'm falling for her, but I understand

 

(+969,-28) SHK is a major senior but in the drama there wasn't a awkward moment between them and they match so well I hope to see them in another project or even just a photoshoot ã… ã… 

 

(+1007,-41) Since you guys aren't dating you should shoot another drama together... I never seen a couple with this much chemistry. pleaseã… 

 

(+1273,-131) It sounds like SHK is a wise woman just date~~~~~~~

 

- SHK is really a wise woman... (Just like what SJK said that his ideal type at my previous post above)

 

-When he says that SHK is not a senior that can be reached I feel like I lost the strength in my body~~~~ You should start now (dating)

 

-It's the person who is hard to reach it's more bittersweet ã…‹ã…‹

-You can reach her just confess ã…Žã…Ž

-I don;t see you losing anything please gather courage

-HK said in a previous interview that if she heard Should I confess or apologize? She would tell him to confess! So gather courage and confess and protect her~

-They really match well a couple with no anti

-He said that she was hard to reach but he not untouchable ã…‹ã…‹ I'm just kidding... It doesn't seem like he is denying outright but he is protecting HK... He speaks well

-He said she is unreachable as a senior(acting wise) not that she is unreachableã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ the words change in every article

 

-Just reach her... Take the challenge! Easy woman have no charms.. If you lose SHK you will regret it... ã…Žã…Žã…Žã…Ž

 

- Goddess SHK is wise (his ideal type)

 

-This reminds me of a couple of years ago Choi Soojong(CSJ) said the same thing about Ha Heera(HHR) and a year later they got married

-ã…Žã…Žã…ŽCSJ HHR is so fitting~~ If you remember he said the same thing that she untouchable in terms of acting~~ SJK acts like he has no romantic feelings for HK and he seems like he is uncomfortable around her_ If you look at the press conference compared to his other dramas he acts differently around other actresses! Right now I'm routing for SS couple (I'm routing for SHK more~)

 

(+1224,-115) If not HK who will SJK date?I can't imagine anyone better than HK 

 

(+1046,-56) Of course, there is no one prettier and as good natured as SHK!!  SJK value skyrocketed now... anyway you guys match well!!

 

(+1017,-89) I think it will be good if you try reaching her once. You guys match so well ã…‹ã…‹

-I agree like a man

 

(+931,65) It would be great if they started dating. I will support you. It would be a waste of a couple

 

(+786,-22) SHK thoughtfulness is the best. JIS said in a interview after they finished TWTWB that even if SHK did well she always praised her partner in interviews... From the drama staff, to the other actors she treats them so well... So there is a reason why their are so many people who want to work with her again... I hope SS couple will at least stay as good senior/junior relationship... just bc your chemistry is so good

 

(+770,-31) I honestly hope that SHK meets a good man gets married. I don't know who that might be but he has be the luckiest man... SJK fighting too!!

 

(+689,-9) But he said she is untouchable in terms of her acting but from the title of the article it seems like he saying that about their relationshipã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹During the interview he said that she is untouchable in terms of her acting and her focus... Even though the drama is finished those two's chemistry was amazing!! I haven't missed any of SHK's works I loved Kang Moyeon the most from her. When can we see their chemistry and two shot(two on them on the scene) again ã… ã… 

 

(+772,-39) The way I see it SHK is very wise...

 

-there is no one wiser and more beautiful~~~

 

(+935,-96) I really like SJK but if they are dating SJK won the lottery ã…Žã…Žã…Žã…Žã…Ž

 

-SHK would win the lottery...ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

-They both the lottery why split them up~

-Really~ Each of them would win the lottery~ ã…‹ When they are together their synergy is out of this world~ of course they would work separately but for now~~~

-They are both handsome and beautiful couple. so they match well ^^

 

(+628,-19) He didn't refute the scandal outright or did he jokingly pass over it... He smoothly passed over it. As a person who likes both actors I want them to be dating but it would be hard on them if they were found out. I hope they stay close ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

-I hope after 2~3 years they announce their wedding

-I'm hoping for early next year ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

 

(+606,-14) He gets his influence from his conservative grandma who he lives with~ He obviously loves his grandma, When he received his award he almost cried talking about his grandma. Since his family of three generations  live together he is respectful. Honestly speaking you guys match so well,, as a fan I want them to date instead of getting jealous^^ They are the best couple! Yesterday in the tent scene and the ending scene they look like they are wearing couple clothes(match clothes that make them look like a couple) they really look like a couple

 

(+663,-14) I think you can reach her~ There are many people routing for you~

 

(+598,-25)  His ideal type before was a woman who was older and who takes care of him, with nice personality it seems exactly like SHK ^^

 

-HK is also wise~ She seems like she will be good and charming to her elders

 

-She was chosen#1 by previous actors who worked with her wanted her as their daughter in law

 

-Hopefully it isn't one sided love from SJK

 

-Please let them love

 

-he respects her as a senior, as a hallyu star I hope he learns a lot from her~ you guys resemble each other a lot... It's my hope that you can become a couple ^^

 

(+555,-19) It's weird that he is saying this when he said she looks pretty everyday in the drama

-I feel exactly how you feel

-Why am I sad that my fantasy is over

-aigoo he said that she is untouchable in terms of acting not regarding their relationship

 

(+571,-25) I wish they are dating~ Just do something hard~

-Right  ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ best

 

(+592,-35) I really like SJK but why do I want him to date SHK more  ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

-Seriously~ why they match so well

-me too(3x)

-When he said she is untouchable I'm not even jealous

 

(+532,-26) You can reach an untouchable senior once in your life... SS couple you match well but do some interviews.... ã… ã…  but I think I'm getting withdraws from DOTS ending  ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

[alicat3736]

HELLO MY FELLOW KIKYO SHIPPERS!!!! Sorry I've been kind of inactive for a while...super busy recently ://

 

ANYWAYS EP 16. THE KISS SCENES OH MY GAWD THEY WERE SO HOTTTT. The kiss was wayyyyy to real for just acting..every gesture, eye contact, just everything was so genuine and beautiful! Their chemistry was honestly on fire. 

 

Now that the drama is over, I'm having some serious withdrawal moments lol. I think im gonna have a marathon in a couple days haha

 

Regarding SJK's interview, its saddening how people invade his privacy. I get that everyone wants to know more about him and all, but I think some have definitely crossed the line...Getting his family and even his ex- girlfriend involved is pretty rude. I hope this stops. (I also admire how respectful SJK was in responding even though he was obviously frustrated about the situation)

 

I also noticed that SJK referred to SHK as noona...? kekeke they're probably trying to be more cautious now that practically the whole Korea is shipping them together which I don't mind cuz this ship is like the best ship ever. However even though I ship this couple greatly, I really hope that everyone gives them privacy...hopefully it won't be long until they've really solidified their career and relationship and marry (lol am I starting to be a little delusional..? Man..the impact that this ship has on me is crazy) 

 

omg his face...MY CINNAMON ROLL <3

AAHH THIS IS SO CUTE DFJKLSLKAS

Honestly though...HE'S SUCH A CINNAMON ROLL. THIS COUPLE IS TOO CUTE 

THIS OH MA GOD. IS THAT A LITTLE TONGUE ACTION THAT I SEE. THIS IS WAY TOO HOTTT

Honestly i dont think we should bother when he addressed her as Noona, Its not the 1st time we saw him says that..

 

Before this during the 1ST press con, they addressed themselves as a noona-dongsaeng and then after that during PC in HK, they starts to used SHK-sshi, SJK-sshi...

 

I dont think theres a script behind this... right? I. Dont. Think. So...
