WGM's Fierce, LTE couple

I know this has nothing to do with the music industry but let me just take this space to post some appreciative note to We Got Married's newest and by-far the fastest couple, Kim So Eun and Song Jae Rim! Honestly, I have never seen a couple so active in skinship during the first meeting. To add to that amusing factor, they even were not able to 'see' each other during this time as they were asked to meet in a dark room. It probably was not that much of a good impression on the virtual husband's side as he openly expressed how his wife's way with words, how she constantly kept them short, caught him dumbfounded. But as the two met, in a much clearer and lighted place, the atmosphere seemed to change as then he lightly complimented her of being beautiful; look who got entranced by her beauty?

The first meetings are usually the most awkward episode but not to this couple. The first episode was nothing but full of skinships and cringe-worthy exclaims. Note: this was the first episode, the second episode was the doubling of their (chemistry? Spark? How should I call it? Cringing? The latter seemed to fit) cringing moments. For the other couples, the second episode is usually another time given for them to get to know each other better, the staffs send them to a nearby cafe and they end up talking consuming all the time given. Jaerim and Soeun won't be called the LTE couple for nothing, the episode was actually the continuation of the first episode and they acted as if they're already friends for a long period of time.

The couple's progress was very different from the other couples, who needed much less 5 episodes to open up and be comfortable with each other's presence. May it be because they both are actors and basically they meet a lot of people every time they shoot something and that's how they are able to adapt to each other pretty fast or may it just be because they are a pair of similar personalities and it was much easier for them to be close. Many netizens have commented that it was a their first time seeing these personas on the show; that the couple was a refreshment to it with their new antics and personalities.

Our virtual husband: Song Jae Rim, he's an actor that's having his first variety experience and was it fortunate for him -and his fans, that the first show he received was that of We Got Married? The show's concept of having entertainers pretend to be married for real was probably the best fitted for him, with an image far from what he shows in his dramas; Song presented himself as somewhat the aggressive type of person with skinship, who shoots cheesy words every time he sees an opening to say it in whatever situation and a person who's mischievous and cute at the same time.Song is becoming a great husband as he -though at times it gets too fast- leads his wife and makes her feel comfortable whenever they are together. With Song, there won't be a moment were the atmosphere dries up and ends up being awkward and uncomfortable even to the viewers.

Our virtual wife: Kim So Eun, she's an actress that's had a few variety guesting from before. She'd already experienced being paired with an unfamiliar guy, to be exact Lee Junho from 2PM (their Music & Lyrics was also really good) so I believe that this was going to be a piece of cake on her side. In the shows she'd been on, we can clearly say that she takes good care of the people around her and that she's very feminine, but that latter was somehow scratched out in this show; Kim had this hidden violence in her system and is very carefree. Her personality jives in with Song's but also have the ability to control her husband's mischievousness, I guess this is what makes them a really good pair; they have time where they complement each other and the next thing you'll see is them contradicting each other.

I have to say, other than me there are many netizens who have been caught up with this couple. As everyday they show the viewers something new which leads to us looking forward for the upcoming episodes. With this couple, I have experienced watching the show without english subtitles -I couldn't wait for the next day, and laughing without even understanding what was happening. And, no I am not crazy. Some people commented that one day Song might just end up kissing her -which I think might also happen, seeing how he held her face during the upcoming episode's preview. Some others also predicted that somewhere along they'll also end up falling for each other -which I believe has a great possibility.
