Beyond The Screen..Minsun Couple

Boys Over Flower premiered more than two years ago, still, it claimed the first spot in many on line streaming on the net. It's popularity has not died down yet, and local network here in our country plays it from time to time, because followers and shippers can't get enough of Lee Min Ho and Gu Hye Sun, not to mention 4d leader Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum and Kim Joon who are also popular in their own respective field.

There really is noting new in the plot of BOF, rich boy meets struggling girl, one of his best friend falls in love with his girl, rich parents are against the relationship..and so on. Still, BOF made a lasting impression on us viewers because we found the great chemistry surrounding our hero and heroine, Gu Jun Pyo and Geum Jan Di aka Lee Min Ho and Gu Hye Sun.

Many BTS and NG's made our hearts soar with happiness, seeing how the two acted beyond the screen. It's not just a simple camaraderie, but we sensed, see, and feel the attraction between them. The subtle flirtation, the nudging of arms, caught candidly on cameras, the playful way they teased each other and many more actions that  can not be denied merely by words. They were recorded for us to see.

I have been to soompi and the thread is somewhat lacking in spirit, maybe because there is no single news about the couple. But what's good about the shippers is that they continue to support both Lee Min Ho and Gu Hye Sun, they keep their faith, and the friendship that bounds the shippers are so inspiring despite the lack of news.

I just want to add my own thoughts about our Minsun Couple.

Yes, it felt real. I, like any other shipper saw almost all the videos and events they were in. I also believed that there is something between them, though no confirmation was made. The support I saw especially on Lee Min Ho's part towards Gu Hye Sun's activities was real. And I believed, Lee Min Ho did his part well as a "close friend" of Gu Hye Sun, by letting the public see that he cares. He did not conceal wearing a ring that we Minsun shippers believed to be a "couple ring". Unlike GHS, who was captured wearing the same(almost) ring in one or two occasions, but then stopped wearing the said mysterious ring. She was seen wearing it on the night of the VIP premiere of her movie Magic where LMH also attended, but tried to avoid the press by coming up late. He was also seen wearing the "ring".

These moments made shippers high.

Being a Korean Drama addict...i began following other actors/actress too. One couple I also find cute are Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo, when I saw them at Worlds Within. and just like  LMH and GHS, their chemistry is so great it goes beyond the screen. And the good news was, it turned into something deep. But because they are already both established as an actor, they have made their names not only in Korea but outside the country, they have the guts to acknowledge each other and confirm the status of their relationship to the press people. Maybe, age and maturity has to do with it. But since then, people are clamouring for more. They want inside news. They want every detail. And because of popularity, some fans want their idol to be with someone else..perhaps with the person they are being paired off at the moment. These arose more rumours, and surely, somehow these scenarios are just some that cause headaches to the managers, handlers, and of course to the persons involved who are in relationship. And to preserve some privacy, Hyun Bin opted not to respond on all speculations going around, and so is SHK who remained silent.

I like to think that,  our Minsun couple are handling their situations very well. With LMH's popularity soaring high, it is not good if he will be associated continuously with a former co-star, who is also making a name for herself and succeeding quite well as an actress and as a director, not to mention as an artist and as a composer/singer.

Let us give them both space. They needed it badly. What we don't know, must be the precious times they have with each other, be it as a friend or as a colleague who cares towards each other. Let us give them time to develop as an artist, to stand up on their own and when they are already strong and established, no scandal can make them down, then that's the time for all the confirmation.

Boys Over Flowers will forever be a drama that will stay close to our hearts. It made us laugh, cry, sad, be in love and most of all, it brought friendship into our lives. I, as mslee1107 has made friends here in the net, friends outside my country, friends who maybe someday I will meet in person, and  they are the people who shared all the special moments with me as we follow our Minsun Couple.

Just keep on believing...FIGHTING!!!
