Recap: “We Got Married” – It’s Not Easy Being a Virtual WifeAfter months of hiatus, the Soompi “We Got Married“ recaps are back with a look at the current husbands of the show: Song Jae Rim, Hong Jong Hyun, and Namgoong Min. Now let’s take a look at the lovely ladies, Girls’ Day‘s Yura, Kim So Eun, and Hong Jin Young, who have the – honor? Pleasure? Burden? – of being their virtual wives. Kim So Eun – The Patient Match“We Got Married” has many applications from celebrities to be on their show, and I’m sure the producers carefully match up celebrities to create couples. I believe this is one couple is one that they should be proud of (or maybe they just got lucky when they decided to put two cat people together). We know Song Jae Rim is a character, a very interesting character, but I appreciate Kim So Eun for bearing the responsibility of being his wife. Because of Jae Rim’s eccentric personality and overly affection physical attention, his wife has to be someone who can not only put up with some unwanted advances but keep with him. I think So Eun does a pretty good job. Jae Rim does thing that male characters in Korean dramas do, which may seem like a romantic idea, but the result is more awkward. For instance, in a Korean drama the male lead will suddenly grab the female by the head and touch their foreheads together while the female stares at him with wide eyes. In real life, she’ll jerk away and ask him what he’s doing. However, So Eun isn’t always putting Jae Rim in his place. She lets him put lipstick on her, fake kisses, hold her hand, and show off. Sometimes, she can’t help but laugh, which is good, because he looks so pleased when she does that. Sometimes, she will just give him this look: Which is also good because Jae Rim needs to be reminded sometimes that skinship and affection should be consensual. Just because you’re a handsome actor doesn’t mean you can go be all grabby with your fake wife whenever and wherever you want. I think So Eun is learning that her husband responds well to praise, as she rewards him whenever he does something good with small touches and words of affection. As I said, her husband is like this big, goofy dog that needs a lot of love and a little bit of discipline to be the best companion. Also in this episode the couple goes to a shooting range, and So Eun has a lot of fun. She even does better than her husband in their practice run. What bothers me is that the instructor didn’t teach her the proper way to hold a gun. It’s great that she isn’t totally docile and boring – she has a personality and can take on her husband in their activities. Despite her being on guard a lot, I think she really does have fun with Jae Rim, because he is a lot of fun, and I’m interesting in seeing how this couple develops. [soompi]
