[09.03.05][News] Junjin vs. Lee Shi Young

These days, with programmes showing one after another, it’s rare to see scenes that are truly awkward and are not meant for comedic effects. But on the most recent episode of We Got Married, such scenes were abundant during the honeymoon trip of Junjin and Lee Shi Young.

A man who’s ahead of others by a step, meets a woman who’s behind others by a step. Even such a couple truly in love would find it tough, what more for a reel ‘marriage’ with such incompatible parties, and all that’s left is awkwardness and embarrassment.

The impatient husband, who has spent 10 years as an idol singer with countless female fans, and a quiet wife who likes Gundam. Add to that the husband’s inquisitive personality and the wife’s style of short replies. There hasn’t been an improvement in the relationship between the two completely different people, and even people watching them are getting frustrated. The husband has many preconceptions about marriage and his spouse, while the wife can’t care less about these. During the noraebang scene last week, their two conflicting personalities finally come to a head, the guy could only manage a frustrated smile while the girl was also so frustrated that she was about to burst into tears.

After understanding their differences, the uncoordinated Junjin-Lee Shi Young couple on WGM is probably the most realistic and honest couple. No matter what, although there have been sudden changes on variety shows, this couple is really interesting. Most WGM couples who have gone with the concept of an ‘aegyo’ wife and a thoughtful husband, and starting with this couple, we should be able to see more points of view in relationships being explored. Do look out for this extremely stubborn couple get closer while refusing to compromise with each other.

Mission, impossible?
