aka - HEIRS, BRO. (up to episode 8)
+ Oh lord, it's not that rare that I find myself in a fandom were i SHIP ALL TEH SHIPS!!1 except the canon ones (ew, gr-oss)
(this post is insane and i sound insane and my shipping is out of control.)
(
lol @ me having this much to say about this show tbh )
I LOVE TAE-KYUNG. LOVE HIM. HE IS NEITHER PHYSICALLY AGGRESSIVE, NOR EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE, AND BASICALLY A NEUROTIC CONTROL-FREAK ON CRACK AND DORK TIMES 1000000000000. Besides Jan Geun Suk's voice deserves Hallyu status all on its own.
I went in expecting to hate everything, especially Tae-kyung, and second lead shipping like hell. BUT, INSTEAD.
(Alex is side-eyeing me. I am side-eyeing myself tbqh.)
I SHALL BE BACK.

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A SAD LITTLE GIRL WHO WATCHED YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL AND FELL IN LOVE WITH KDRAMAS AND ANXIOUSLY AWAITED THE DAY HER FLIST WOULD JOIN HER, THREE YEARS LATER THEY DID AND THEY ALL HATED HER FIRST AND MOST BELOVED DRAMA AND THERE WAS MUCH SADNESS.
I've never quite been able to grasp what the beef was with it tbh, Tae-kyung was a glorious character with the Best. Voice. Ever (apart from maybe Han-seong from Coffee Prince because UNF)
He's secretly a massive dork. This is the key.
I'm legit vomming rainbows I'm so happy right now. SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE, UNDERSTANDS MY MOST BELOVED DRAMA.

But dude, what a fantastic show? It's legitimately funny and wholly entertaining and an excellent tongue-in-cheek look at idol life. (Like, I DIED when they had the fantasy fanfic sequence with Shin-woo/Tae-kyung/Jeremy. That reference to fic-writing was one of my favorite parts in Reply 1997 and to think that You're Beautiful did it all the way back in 2009 when it wasn't as mainstream as it is now!) Even the general celebrity management, the constant are-the-cameras-watching-me personas, TAE-KYUNG ASKING WHETHER HE WAS ON PUNK'D/ESQUE/SOMETHING BECAUSE THE WHOLE SITUATION WAS TOO BIZARRE TO BE REAL. And all the general meta-references and just guhAs for Tae-kyung, my most basic judging parameter for any character is whether the show gets what they're writing the character as/if my perception is in-line with a show's, as far as I can tell. And through the fantasy sequence (THOSE ARE THE BEST) with Tae-kyung and Mi-nyeo's marriage ceremony, where he was all overbearing and high-handed ("I GIVE YOU ( ... )

The third paragraph especially is something I was loosly thinking about when trying to defend him, back when the others watched it, but couldn't quite find the words to express, I think I was more like - HE'S NOT ABUSIVE YOU GUYS, HE'S JUST REALLY LAME. LIKE MR DARCY OKAY.
when they had the fantasy fanfic sequence with Shin-woo/Tae-kyung/Jeremy.
Genuine. Best. Ever. I think it was about this point when I 100% fell in love with the show and with KDramas in general if they were all going to be this ridic (they mostly were, bless)
but actually Tae-kyung is the first person/character/species whose voice I have noticed, in my life. Like, I am SO SOLD on his voice, it's not even funny./headinhands/ DO YOU SEE WHY I WAS SO SMITTEN? WHO KNOWS, IF IT HAD BEEN ANYONE BUT JGS' FACE AND VOICE IN MY FIRST DRAMA, I MIGHT NEVER HAVE COME THIS FAR ( ... )
