More Oppa-Dongsaeng Items...Nothing Escapes a Shipper's Sharp Eyes!

I love this new developments about my Oppa-Dongsaeng couple. For over two long years, everyone tried hard to find similarities but contented ourselves with the sweet BTS and the fan meetings of Playful Kiss and their presence together were more than enough. Now, when everything is settled and have moved on from Playful Kiss syndrome, [well, almost everyone has] when no more fan meetings to look forward to, when each have their own activities and shows and new on screen partners, some and small coincidences started appearing and noticed by these great shippers who really have sharp eyes. Some based their conclusions on translated interviews. But what's insightful and striking are the photos, though not together, the small things like rings, shirts, drawings, displays and the likes that are recently being noticed and making us shippers guess.


I love these chingus from the thread @soompi. And I as mslee also find a similarity, reaching out from my previous post and looking hard and yes, really, they seemed similar. I am talking about the ring which I was always wondering about whenever So Min wears it on her left thumb. 







Not really that sure but it looks like what HJ was wearing on his Thailand tour during the PressCon..

I thought at first that it was the spiral one but looking closely, I may have been mistaken and it may be the ring touching his fingers. What do you think guys? 


Some coincidences more...

Hj seems to be wearing rings nowadays just like So Min. If scrutinized more closely, a couple may be similar to what MinMin usually wears.:))


More coincidences....

It was shared at the thread [oppa-dongsaeng] that the right caricature drawing of a girl was So Min posted by Lespapillons in JSM's thread. The image at the back og HJ's tank top was of a girls drawing and looks like the same. He usually wears it during rehearsals.  Do you think it's the same and the shipper's eyes are right?


What's more interesting are this recent post...


shared by Ellie4jsmkhj









This outfit was displayed at one of the Jaksal branch! Hmmm...really interesting!


Remember my old post about a collage of HJ's photos on a wall at Jaksal's and a shipper's eyes came across a unique photo among thousands of photos of HJ only. The Pk scene where Ha Ni was lying on a bench with her head on HJ's lap. The one and only photo of HJ with a girl among that collage of photos!

Anyway, just like to share this to you my friends who are still hopeful of HJ and SM being together for real. What's the good thing about it is that as long as there will be small things that connects them a shipper's sharp eyes will surely not miss them! Because nothing escapes them! :))

For more, pls read all my previous post about my oppa-dongsaeng couple, tagged Jung So Min or Playful Kiss. I have done so many post about it. :)

Moon Embracing the Sun Soon on GMA 7 Kapuso Network.

GMA 7 really knows what Korean dramas to broadcast. Although I have not watched Moon Embracing the Sun [METS] I knew that this particular historical drama, [fictional] was a success during the time it broadcasted in Korea through MBC. It got high ratings then but they only decided to make 20 episodes. 

Official broadcast of METS on GMA 7 will be on August 13, 2012 on it's prime time.

It's on my list of "to watch lists" but never got to start watching it yet. But I will. :))

Will post the cast  and the summary of the drama.

Lee Hyon (Kim Soo Hyun) {Child : Yeo Jin Goo}
Lee Hyon became a changed person after the killing of his betrothed, Yeon Woo. Not longer is he the kind-hearted boy that everyone in the palace/court used to like but a cold, hearted person who refused to love nor accept love no matter how hard Yoon Bo Gyung, the girl who had replaced Woo as his wife tries to win his heart.

Prince Yang Myung / Yang Myung Goon (Jung Il Woo) {Child : Lee Min Ho}
His given title is Prince Yang Myung / Yang Myung Goon. He and Lee Hyon are half-brothers who have the same mother but different father. Due to Lee Hyon's father being the king, the position of the crown prince was passed down to Lee Hyon although he is older in age, talented and more well mannered than Lee Hyon. And most likely because he is the elder brother, he is always trying to give in / not fight with his brother for anything. He projects an image of a playboy especially after the death of his first wife. But then with the appearance of Wol, he finds himself fighting for something he wants against his brother for the first time.

01.jpg01.jpg
Yoon Bo Kyung / Queen Yoon (Kim Min Seo) {Child : Kim So Hyun}
She became the first official wife of Lee Hwon after the death of Yeon Woo but received none of his love as a woman.
Although she appears to be a kind and warm person, she hides her real face under the mask of lies and pretending to be nice.

Heo Yeom (Song Jae Hee) {Child : Si Wan}
He is the elder brother of Yeon Woo who adores his sister dearly. Although he is marries Princess Min Hwa through an arranged marriage, his heart remains with "Sul" the serving maid of Yeon Woo whom he had grown up with, causing Min Hwa's hatred of him of not thinking of her as a woman.

Woon (Song Jae Rim) He is the loyal bodyguard of Lee Hwon who is cold on the outside but warm within. Although he is blessed with good looks, brains and fighting skills, he is faulted as being born as the son of a concubine which gives him a lowly status although he is the son of a nobleman.[/img]

minhwa.JPG01.jpg
Princess Min Hwa (Nam Bora) {Child : Jin Ji Hee}
Due to a childish streak of jealous towards Yeon Woo when they were young, Min Hwa unwittingly becomes involved in the plot to kill Yeon Woo. She has been carrying the guilty conscience ever since she knew that Yeon Woo was killed because of her childish act and hopes to make amends towards her family especially after marrying Yeom, Yeon Woo's brother whom she loved with all her heart but he doesn't even think of her as a woman to love after their marriage.

sul.jpg
Sul [Snow] (Yoon Seung Ah)
She was the maid serving Yeon Woo before her supposed death and had grown up with both Yeom and Yeon Woo since they were young. She followed and served Wol who lost her memories, protecting her with the martial arts she learnt from the enemies who are out to harm her. 


AGD : What's the latest about the drama? More photos and news!

Since there will be no episode to do screencaps and to write about, I scouted for some latest news and photos [spoiler] :))


I hope that these will be enough to last the viewers who were disappointed for not watching the 19th episode last night which was supposed to be aired half an hour earlier but on a late notice and decision, finally cancelled it, for the next two weeks? Or maybe at the soonest this next weekend. :))

‘A Gentleman’s Dignity,’ Audiences Complain For Late Notice

And I am also one of those who are waiting...and I thought it was aired last night! Well, there's no harm in complaining but as an intelligent viewer, we must be understanding. An Olympics game is going on right now and each of us has a representative from our own country. Guess, it's an honor to have them watch in one of local networks, unfortunately, in Korea through SBS.

Oh well, I can wait.

the news...

cre: soompi.com



Due to the 2012 London Olympics, SBS's drama 'A Gentleman's Dignity' was unable to air its latest episode.
Audiences reacted with complaints for the late notice, as they were anticipating the drama's airing. It was previously planned for SBS's weekend drama 'A Gentleman's Dignity' to broadcast its 19th episode at an earlier time, however, news of the drama's break appeared on the television screen, "Today's weekend dramas 'Delicious Life' and 'A Gentleman's Dignity' will not be aired due to the 2012 London Olympics. We hope audiences will understand." Instead of the drama, SBS aired a men's doubles qualifying round.
With only two episodes remaining, 'A Gentleman's Dignity' organized its 19th episode to air on the 28that 9:30 PM. If the Korean athletes were to be eliminated in the first round, the 19th episode would have been broadcasted 25 minutes earlier.
However, SBS failed to notify viewers even while broadcasting the women's handball and judo competitions, leaving viewers in confusion right before the airing of 'A Gentleman's Dignity.'
Viewers complained, "Aren't they supposed to let us know even a little bit earlier? Without any warning, they suddenly announced that there was no airing. What is this after I continuously waited in front of the TV?"
