We Got Married Not So Original Afterall?Wednesday August 19, 2008
MBC Sunday Sunday Night segment, “We Got Married” is now being accused of plagarism. This plagarism claim was made by one Korean media and it spread like wildfire across the internet, invoking fierce discussions about it.
According to the claim, the basic concept amd some parts of “We Got Married” are very similar to a Japanese variety show called “Koisuru Hanikami” by TBS Japan in 2006. Both shows sets up male and female celebrities together and then hands them a mission to accomplish on that episode. The cameras follows the celebrities around the whole day plus having the same interview segments.
With regards to this, the PDs of “We Got Married” has denied the allegations and insisted that they have not watched “Koisuru Hanikami” before. But netizens are apparently not letting this go away so easily.
Most netizens gave their support to “We Got Married” expressing, “The program has already been airing for a long time, they claimed it’s plagarism because of one similar segment, this is ridiculous”, “Although the Olympics is good to watch, but we also want to watch We Got Married. Not only has it been pre-empted for the past weeks but now with these plagarism allegations, it’s quite a pity.”
There were netizens who were unhappy about this of course, “I thought the program was really innovative all this while. But now with these plagarism claims, it’s pretty disappointing”, “I thought the program was really good to watch, but since all these is copied, I don’t feel very good now”.
The good publicity and vibes of “We Got Married” has gone downhill in recent weeks with the non-show of the program for two consecutive weeks and possibly this weekend included. Will these plagarism claims hurt the show ratings even further considering that “Family Outing” is really catching up? Is Kang Soo Jung really a jinx? Stay tuned as the drama unfolds.

TV couple that invokes envy: Hwang Bo and Hyun JoongWednesday, August 19,2008
Today's current trend is younger men-older women couples. What was once a difficult scene to see is now seen easily as you go about on the streets. Also those who once rejected and looked at these relationships through colored lenses are now wishing "I want to try it once too...".
MBC's WGM's youngest couple are Hyun Joong and Hwang Bo. Although they started a little later than the other couples, the both of them are now celebrating their 100th day of marriage with a commemorative wedding photo shoot. Hwang Bo, who was left alone in Korea when the other couples (Andy- Solbi, Crown J- In Young, Alex- Shin Ae) were having their wedding photo shoots because her husband Hyun Joong was away in Japan for work related activities, can now put aside the disappointment then with the photo shoot now.
Compared to the other couples, the both of them were relatively more awkward with each other when they started. However, although their conversations are sometimes stalled with moments of awkward silences, the both of them can be seen to be becoming more and more in tune with each other. Based on their dates of birth, fortune master Lee Kyung Min will study their individual love luck and their harmony, as well as ways for the both of them to appeal to each other. His remarks about Hyun Joong and Hwang Bo's union was "The older meets the younger, brings about harmony. Great."
Hyun Joong's love luck:The chances of him meeting older women are higher. More older women will be attracted to him compared to younger women. This is because most older women would feel comfortable around him, resulting in his high popularity with older women.
It is also likely that Hyun Joong will marry someone older than him. This type of birth details show that he is someone who is more delicate than he looks, somewhat similar to the psychology of a woman. It is because of this that it would be better to marry an older woman who could protect him.
Plus, it would be better for him to marry early as it would enhance his fortune. A late marriage will not be lucky for him so it would be better to meet a woman early and marry while he is in his twenties or early thirties.
Hwang Bo's love luck:She is exceptionally stubborn and proud, opinionated and is not the type to give in. As she would not be able to lead in a relationship with someone of the either the same age or older than her, it would be better for her to meet someone younger that she can lead. If she meets someone younger, their relationship would be a better match as they would be able to communicate and develop further.
Based on her birth details, she is likely to marry late. Even if she meets a good person, it would be better for her to date him for one to three years before marrying him. Rather than getting married hastily, it would be better for her to get to know the person first before marrying him.
Hyun Joong and Hwang Bo's marital harmony:As they are both a younger man- older woman couple, they are able to achieve harmony. They are a well fitted couple as the woman leads and the man follows. They are also a couple that would not have any huge arguments and their difference in age allows them to understand each other. Since their characters are at opposite ends of the pole, they are able to harmonize each other, which can be said to be a good thing.
If Hyun Joong was to steal Hwang Bo's heart:As Hwang Bo's exterior seems to be tougher than a man, she naturally leads. However, Hyun Joong should also lead at times, showing his manly side and the side of him that he is able to lead. He shouldn't be timid and be more manly, knowing when to lead and not to, showing his charms which are appealing.
If Hwang Bo was to steal Hyun Joong's heart:From his birth details, Hyun Joong is the type that likes women who can make him feel her warm side and are able to take care of him, showing him her heart. If she does this, then he will go towards her.
