The "MINJOONG" (or HYUNMIN..) ANALYSIS Part 2

Guess Part 1 was a hit! So here's part 2!

I’ve been beating around the bush in my last analysis. Furthermore I kept talking about how they were unfamiliar with each other haha (totally different from the title of my postXD) 
Okay~ I’m going right into the topic, if not I might not finish my analysis before they get marriedXDDD
In the beginning of November, the KHJ Special 2 videos were uploaded onto the official website of Playful Kiss. Although everyone felt disappointed as the show was ending already, the release of the videos enthused many girls (including myself~ I’m insistent on thisXD). Of course there were also people who secretly felt heartbroken upon seeing these videos. After watching the BTS videos several times repeatedly (everytime I laughed crazily as KHJ is really idiotic, and JSM’s laughter is really very contagiousXD), I realized that in KHJ Special 1 videos, JSM had very little appearance (I’m not surprised), but in KHJ Special 2 videos, the two always appear together at the same time. Thus it can be seen that the two needed time to familiarize with each other gradually. 
Papa Baek once said during the FM: After the kiss in the rain, everything has changed. This could be interpreted as a change in the development of the story plot, but it seemed to have implied more of a change in the relationship between KHJ and JSM. Although KHJ has debuted five years ago, he is insistent on not conforming to the norms of the Entertainment Industry. He is an idol, but he does not carry himself as an idol. As for JSM, she has only debuted as a professional actress less than a year ago. Owing to that, the BTS videos contain more realistic elements in them than others. They are very comfortable with each other~ The way they look at each other is filled with tenderness~ The surrounding atmosphere is filled with love~

2010.10.01
Before the shooting, JSM was holding KHJ’s and her script while whispering to KHJ. From the side of KHJ’s face, he seemed to be listening attentively to JSMXD



The PD then walked over. JSM started laughing happily upon hearing something KHJ said. The two of them seemed to be unusually high during the shooting of this scene. 


During the rehearsal, KHJ said: After turning my head and seeing Hani….ERR (shocked) <<< KHJ was really extremely close to JSM after turning his head&gkkkk


JSM did not seem to have understood KHJ’s words and maintained a smile all along. Although she seemed to be listening attentively to PD’s instructions, JSM suddenly turned her head and asked: Why would you be shocked? JSM very naturally placed her hand on KHJ’s neck as if she was about to strangle him. 


This caused KHJ to be unable to respond in time and he replied with a little stuttering hahaha. KHJ very naturally reached out his hand in the direction of JSM’s hand, but JSM’s had already retracted back her hand. Thus, we could see that their hands swiped past each other.
PD: Hello I’m still talking, can the flirting wait= =


Their conversation topic then switched and they started talking about pajamas. Amazingly, JSM could continue a 4D conversation with KHJ (which we would clearly see later). Some people would remain silent while some people would smile, but JSM really does know how to appreciate KHJ’s 4D wordsXDDD 


As the cameraman was standing at a corner and was very quiet, I realised that the two seemed to be ignorant of the fact that they were being filmed. They seemed to be conversing casually, not because of the need to find a topic and not patrionising, just conversing naturally.


After filming Hani’s horrifying sleeping position, the two seemed to be reluctant to get up from the bedXDDD
JSM kept hiding behind KHJ and laughing (from the angle of the camera)
Their laughter is like that of a married couple~~~~ 


I can’t see JSM~I can only see her handXDDDThey were still reluctant to get up from the bedXDDD


Here I kept wondering who was making fun of KHJ. It was indeed none other than JSM. As long as JSM is in the vicinity, KHJ would unknowingly turn and look in her direction. 



They always use Eunjo as an excuse. 




During the celebration party, Eunjo’s presence made no difference to their positions in the photo i.e. they are still very close to each other. 
Eunjo: Sis~Even if you’re nervous you don’t need to keep holding onto my head><
After which there were no photos that only has JSM and KHJ alone. 



However during the beginning of the shooting, when the characters were still in high school, they still took photos that only had the two of them. 
The sudden change, I….do not need to explain. 





Back to our main topic; JSM can really converse with KHJ well, regardless whether it is only jokes or nonsensical words. JSM really understands KHJ’s way of humourXDDD






Following which is the interviewing of KHJ by JSM. I feel that this interview is really amazing and a classicXDDDD 
1. JSM asked 4D questions which specially suited KHJ’s 4D character~ 






2. JSM then asked a question about another planet~ What intrigued me most was JSM was very seriousXDDD!!!!




3. Then there was a sudden change in tone and topic






4. The topic suddenly changed again, to that of the year 1907 




5. While KHJ was still spouting nonsense, JSM continued to crap further with him….





Eventually the weird but engaging conversation ended with the mention of potato buns (extremely idioticXD) 
KHJ then felt comfortable talking to JSM and started telling JSM about his family members.








Albeit I feel that KHJ’s words are really funny, it is hard to continue a conversation with him. Maybe, at most, one would just laugh it off. It is really difficult to think of anything to continue a conversation with him. KHJ probably understands this, hence he got used to it. However, for several times, JSM could continue a conversation with him without fail~ This is also why the illogical conversation could last for a length of four minutes(not to mention that the video has been edited; the actual conversation could have been longer)~During the span of the interview, other than hearing some crewmembers commenting a little, JSM laughed throughout the interview without stoppingXDDD 




From the previous interview, JSM has already realised that much of what KHJ says is usually nonsenseXDDDKHJ kept looking towards the right. Judging from JSM’s voice, JSM was indeed at the right of KHJ.


KHJ looked againXD 



I feel that during the kiss in the rain part, the cruciality was KHJ’s reply and JSM’s expression (obviouslyXD). For this part, you have to watch the video to feel it>////
JSM was also noticing KHJ’s reaction.





Although they have finished filming this scene, the two of them did not move a single inch throughout the interview amazingly~ I realised that JSM seldom rebutted upon hearing KHJ’s words. JSM certainly has the potential to be a supportive wifeXDDDD 







KHJ was facing the camera all along. However whenever JSM laughed, he could realise it very quickly~ If the cameraman were to continue asking, the two would probably >//<
At the beginning it started with >////<) 




After that, they looked at each other and smiled~




The rehearsal of this scene was the most spazz-worthy, but do they really have to rehearse so much?
The scene shown on TV is below: 









The PD shot this scene like this!!!! From far~ Thus any conversations or actions could not be seen by the audience, we could only see their backs~ So could the two please not flirt under the pretense of rehearsing for the showXDDDDD


Hands touching again~~~KHJ’s hand movements speak a lot for themselves~ Ever since JSM had gotten up from the bed, KHJ’s hand had not left JSM’s hand at all




The two laughed at Eunjo at the same timeXDDDDD Furthermore, they looked at each otherXDDDD




JSM smiled as if she was willing to follow KHJ to the ends of the worldXDDDDDDD Just that they probably would meet each other again during the FM in a few hours’ time.




I took 100+ screenshots, in the end I actually used 60+ of them~


This is not the end of my analysis~ I’m still anticipating the probably spazz-worthy BTS videos that would be posted on Youtube soonXDDDDD

The "MINJOONG" (or HYUNMIN..) ANALYSIS Part 1

Saw this over at Minjoong thread at Soompi..Love love love love it..!!

1st Analysis
Disclaimer: 
This analysis was written wholly upon seeing the sweet interactions between the two. As a fan of a show, when I see that the on-screen couple has sweeter interactions off-cam than on-cam, it is hard not to spazz. The pictures and words below are all from my own opinion. Agree or not, as much as I respect the private lives of artistes, I would still want to leave some space for my own spazzing/imagination. I do not know whether JSM and KHJ are together, want to be together or are related in any way. However I do know that from the BTS videos, I could see that they share a sweet and close relationship. 

Actually, I am seldom into couple-shipping. Up till now, I only have done this for two other couples, when both parties were still single. One is Nodame Cantabile's Hiroshi Tamaki and Ueno Juri and the other is Autumn's Concerto's Vanness Wu and Ady An. (some unimportant information eliminated) 

One would know whether the male and female lead of a show are attracted to each other just by looking at the way they stand together. JSM and KHJ give me the same feeling I had for the two other couples mentioned above. During the first press conference, the actors and actresses had already worked together for some time. Their relationship was at the stage of familiarising with each other. Thus their relationship was caught in between the two extremes of familiarity, neither here nor there, resulting in the politeness and formalities. However the way they had presented themselves is real. Although I do not find Playful Kiss itself extremely good, JSM and KHJ undoubtedly acted out the characters skillfully. At least even until now I still cannot think of any other artistes who could replace their roles as BSJ and OHN. 

2010.08.26 First Press Conference




From the start I already have had confidence in the chemistry between the two. Although in the beginning of the show we could not see much interactions between the two from fancams, it is actually normal. This is because fans only video what they like to see. However, as official BTS videos were released, I realised that the relationship between the two is better than what I had expected haha. 

Undoubtedly they have gone through a stage where they were not familiar with each other, but on hindsight, the interactions they had in the beginning were interesting.



2010.7.17 First meeting~Zero eye contact~They even had Lee Tae Sung to stand in between themXDD






Attentively rehearsing their lines~Reading in a way as if they were reading a textbook~Monotonous (very normal) 








2010.07.19 Second Rehearsal of Scripts

Atmosphere was filled with unfamiliarity and awkwardness 




As they were in an unfamiliar environment, their actions and emotions were restricted. It seems that the two of them are those who are slow to become familiar with othersXD Upon saying funny lines, they only smile very lightlyXDDD

KHJ: (smile)



JSM: (smile)




An interesting point to note was that, probably as the lines were very interesting, KHJ started trying to initiate some interactions with the unfamiliar JSM. 

KHJ: (turns his head)

JSM: (smiles lightly)



I find JSM very nervous here. When someone is nervous, he/she will always feel like drinking water and JSM was already finishing her bottle of waterXD KHJ's still had at least 1/4 of water left. Of course, this could also be that they were really thirstyXD 

Their first display of chemistry. Even the subtitles was: Male and Female lead drink water at the same time. However, in my opinion, their display of chemistry was not only this.





Resting their heads on their hands~





Tilting their heads~ JSM was already more relaxed then~she started to have some little actions, e.g. pushing the chair a little




KHJ still wanting to have eye contact with JSM XD 金賢重依舊不放棄要得到庭妹的眼神就是了XD

JSM: Do you know Super Junior? (smiles lightly) 

KHJ: I'm more familiar with ss501 





2010.07.23 First shooting in studio 

As their first scene was already a kiss scene, although KHJ seemed calm, JSM was very shy and did not know what to do, resulting in her shy smile. 



Actually JSM has already let down her guard during this shooting as she would subconsciously hit KHJ during NGs. This might be a habit of hers but when she shows her habits, it means that she has already let down her guard. 



2010.Beginning of August

After which, they started a tight shooting schedule. I feel that the start of some interactions between the two was during this interview. This is because before this, JSM seemed to be closer to Lee Tae Sung since she addresses Lee Tae Sung as 'oppa'. During this interview, her addressing KHJ as 'sunbae' made KHJ burst into laughter (From the fact that they had not discussed how they should address each other, it can be seen that the two did not have much interactions during the shooting). In the end his response caused JSM to laugh very happily, and JSM very naturally used her hand to hit himXDDDD





KHJ seemed to be very satisfied with this response. He himself couldn't stop laughing and even turned to look at JSM.



Lee Tae Sung on the other hand seemed left out. I realised that JSM really understands the jokes KHJ makesXDDD (Eventually unleashing KHJ's 4Dness) 


2010.End of July or Start of August (Should be before the poster shooting)

Zero interactions while waiting for the actual shooting. They kept smiling to themselvesXDDD

However, I totally love JSM's smile in this photo>/////<





2010.08.13 

KHJ apologised after he kept pinching JSM's cheekXDDD

This scene was more nonsensical. Both were very happy and the atmosphere was harmonious.




2010.08.15

After finishing his lengthy lines with great pains, JSM NG-ed XDDD

KHJ: It's Okay (without even looking at JSMXDDDDD Starting to be able to make fun of JSM)





2010.8.26 First Press Conference






This is very different from how JSM laughs at every word KHJ says nearing the end of the shooting. Regardless whether JSM has more or less scenes with which of the two, during that time JSM was indeed closer to Lee Tae Sung. 





Nevertheless, KHJ's words made JSM burst into laughter~JSM really loves to laughXDDD





In my opinion, the first press conference was a crucial turning point. During that time, they have already started filming for about one month. Artistes do behave differently, privately and to the media. If KHJ did not have a certain level of confidence, he would not have showed his interest in JSM (Afterwhich I realise that he is really the more dominant character in their relationship). On the other hand, JSM was still considering whether to get closer to him (after which she didXD). In the BTS videos before this, the two had little interactions and eye contact. Thus, smiles seemed to be polite yet not overbearing. From the BTS videos, we could see that KHJ has a humorous character. This is a way to neutralise the awkward atmosphere and break uncomfortable silences(KHJ should be someone who is scared of an awkward atmosphere). 

Also, KHJ was interviewed about his takes on love during his trip to Japan to shoot his First Love Story Photobook in mid-August. (Words highlighted in green are my interpretation of his words)

I like polite and smart girls-- JSM only addressed him as 'sunbae' before she was told otherwise. JSM was admitted to Seoul Arts University as a scholar and because she was the first in standard.

Furthermore, she only likes me--JSM is a piscean. Female Pisceans do. 

I do not mind whether she has double eyelids or not--JSM has single eyelids 

As long as she looks nice and cute, it's okay--JSM is super KAWAII (cute) 

It doesn't matter whether she's tall or short--JSM is quite short, I guess not exceeding 160 

I don't like flirtatious girls--JSM has excellent self-discipline 


Some people fall in love at first sight, while some develop feelings after a long time. The latter can be seen on the two. 

----ADDED----

2010.8.26 First Press Conference

KHJ seemed to feel worried for JSM as it was the first time she has to face the large number of media reporters in the capacity of a lead actress. Thus, he turned to talk to her for awhile. However, JSM looked jumpy and nervous, only concerned with handling the situation she's facing and finishing her words as quickly as possible.



Following which was the on-stage interview, during which I realised the nonsensical side of KHJ hahaha
(spouts nonsense) KHJ: Hani is also my ideal type, if she likes me.... (turns to JSM) Do you like me? 
Here, he used 'Hani' instead of JSM, but Hani clearly likes Seungjo in the show. Thus, it is obvious that he did not have confidence whether JSM likes him or notXDDDD


這種話有暗示性,即使我可以理解是開玩笑,但庭妹聽到時是有一點不知所措,還是只能傻笑XDDD


Afterwards it was the private interview by MBC. 

KHJ clearly was the one who asked JSM whether she liked him just now. In order to salvage his 'reputation' (save face), he said that he did not have any feelings for her at the beginning of the shooting.



JSM did not know how to respond to this. In response to KHJ's question, whether she feels sad, she replied: No
But JSM~~Actually KHJ wanted to hear you say: I feel sadXDDD


Then, the reporter asked JSM who was the one livening up the atmosphere on set. JSM said that it was Lee Tae Sung instead!!!!

KHJ looked stunned: Why isn't it me >< (I finally understand why he didn't have confidenceXDDDD)
