elapsesLol, this show is so scripted. In a lot of ways their final episode didn't do much for me because of the contrivance of spending the entire date revisiting their earliest days, it all felt, I don't know, fed to them. They didn't remember all of those twists, but the PDs did: they had it on film. (Relatedly, they have this obtuse, roundabout way of giving each other gifts that is my LEAST FAVORITE THING, one of the MCs mentioned that Yonghwa "always does this", always has some trickery surrounding the way he gives gifts, but I don't think that's it, I seriously think it's like, false drama. But maybe I'm wrong, I haven't really wanted any other WGM couples, maybe they are normal about it.) (Back when I was in one of my watching-WGM-as-it-airs phases, I watched the train-to-Busan episode and there was like, this story where Yonghwa talked about, seeing her or something, before he debuted? I don't even remember, it was just meant to be ~romantic~, in a I-once-saw-you-across-a-room kind of way, anyway I related it to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
goldenmelisande and said something like "lol 15% chance that story was real" and she was like "oh Alex, ZERO PERCENT CHANCE".)
But omg the thing I love, so much, about Yongseo is that there's this part of what happened between them that cannot have been scripted. And when I say that I don't mean "lol they're fucking" or "lol they're in love" or anything like that at all, I just mean their relative comfort levels with each other. They were awkward as fuck when they met. Watching them interact was incredibly uncomfortable (in a good way somehow?!?!? I mean we all kept watching...). But it changed. Something about being forced to spend that much time together altered them. She learned to be just as loud and whiny around him as she is around SNSD, to accept and even initiate physical intimacy (sure, that was probably scripted too: grab his arm, let him roll into your lap, whatever, but the point is that the girl she was in Feb '10 couldn't have done that, it would have been too much). And he learned her: his reaction to her in their first couple of episodes is priceless, because he's so clearly like who is this creature and how did she end up on earth with the rest of us. Pure bafflement. But he knows her, by the end. He's got all her cues figured out. He knows how to fix things with her when he fucks them up (the stupid couple scarves he knitted them to replace the once she made fjdklsfjdsklfj LET ME DIE, OKAY, JUST LET ME DIE).
God, just: forced proximity is the greatest trope!!!! Like what you have here is two people who probably never ever would have spent time together in a normal world, but they have to pretend to be married because korean variety television is weird and so they have to get to this point. Idk.
(I really loved his line in the last episode, "what are you going to do without me, Seo Joohyun, your life will be so boring?", like for some reason ALL THE FEELINGS)
Why are the episodes where Seohyun is bratty and mean to him always my favorites
Why didn't we get more episodes with SNSD being obnoxious and weird and embarrassing
WHY DIDN'T WE GET MORE JUNGSHIN CHINGU
at least there is this.
Sometimes I like to pretend that I don't get feelings from all of this BUT THAT'S PRETTY OBVIOUSLY UNTRUE

And oh my god I am DYING at the drinking game thing, LIKE, OF COURSE SHE DID THAT AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH FOR IT. She's just such a baby, anyone who tries to say she's "mature" for her age is clearly way off the mark.
