drama-o-rama

Ahahaha, yeah I did watch Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and Joong-ki’s character, Gu Yong-ha (nickname: Yeo-rim), is definitely a ladies man. Often, he can be seen enjoying his time with the Gisaengs, although he states at one point that: ‘he has yet to meet a lady who does not bore him’ (I’m paraphrasing here).

The scenes you’ve seen on Youtube is probably the ones he shares with Ah-in’s character, Moon Jae-shin (nickname: Geol-oh). Jae-shin is the type of guy who’s feared by the rest of the school, because his presence spells dangerous or something (although he’s actually a softie at heart), save for Yong-ha who’s immune and instead sticks to Jae-shin’s side for the last ten years or so. They are old buddies and their friendship is full of touchy-feely on Yong-ha’s part.

I’m assuming you’re familiar with SKKS premise, right? The whole ‘girl goes into this all-boys school with her brother’s ID’ stuff, and one of the boys (Micky Yoochun’s character) falls in love with the girl while still assumes that she is a he and therefore thinks that he is gay.

Now, there’s a scene where Yoochun’s character discusses his ‘gayness’ with Yong-ha, and Yong-ha says (once again, I’m paraphrasing): “There’s no such thing as ‘wrong’ love. I know what you’re going through right now (referring to his confusion about his sexual identity). I felt the same way too, back then, with Geol-oh.”

So, it’s actually canon that Joong-ki’s character once felt confused himself. Why he’s so openly touchy-feely with his so-called best friend is up to your own interpretation, LoL, although Jae-shin is undoubtedly straight in the drama (since he also falls for the girl).

Oh, well, the truth is, I only know Onew (he’s the one who looks like Joong-ki, right?) and Minho, no idea who this Taemin is, I’m sorry!

LoL!

Honestly, I’m not really a Song/Song couple shipper too, I just adore Joong-ki with everyone and/or Yoo Ah-in? and I definitely agree, that phrases has so much potential, therefore I support you and your fic, whoever stars in it.

Good luck with the fic then! Which pairing you have in your mind, btw, if you don’t mind me asking? ;)
