Popular MBC variety show We Got Married is about to undergo another big change with the replacement of the existing couples.

The existing couples, whose popularity have dropped since they first started, will be dropped to make way for the Seollal couples (Junjin/Lee Shi Young, Kim Shin Young/Shin Sung Rok, Jung Hyung Don/Tae Yeon) who appeared for a test run on the 25th Jan episode. Son Dambi/Marco and Hwan Hee/Hwayobi will make their last appearance on 8th February.

This is the third generation of couples for WGM, which started originally with Alex/Shin Ae, Seo In Young/Crown J, Andy/Solbi and Jung Hyung Don/Saori, after which popular couple Kim Hyunjoong/Hwang Bo came onboard. Marco/Son Dambi and Hwan Hee/Hwayobi joined the show as the second generation of couples, and the Seollal couples will make up the third generation of couples.

The new couples, compared to the previous couples, have stronger personalities - Junjin/Lee Shi Young will experience unusual situations with their unpredictable actions; Jung Hyung Don/Tae Yeon will play out the concept of “the beauty and the beast” with their 11-year age gap; and the Kim Shin Young/Shin Sung Rok storyline will focus on grabbing the attention of the female viewers.

Other changes include increasing the entertainment value of the show. In the past, the show focused on the regular family life of the couples, which were criticized by some viewers as being “too boring”. In order to change that, the appearance cycle of couples will now be drastically reduced to 3-4 weeks from 4-5 months previously.

The WGM producers said, “During this time we have been working on a reality concept with no scripts, from now on we will try to produce a more entertaining and interesting show, and we’ll create interesting scenarios every week.”

In other words, everything that I liked about the show is going away... ... ... too bad. Oh well, more time to do other things.

eehm.. wtf?

[cinderziera]

i hate seeing hwanhee/hwayobi are leaving! they r too great n now, i have to set them off... the pain like seeing andy/solbi too...

at least there's kangin/yunji and taeyeon(i only wanna see her, not with her partner)...

sigh~

[j.a.y]

Omg another big change, man I thought the second generation couples were going to stay a bit longer than that. I will definitely miss Hwanhee+ Hwanyobi couple.
Arrgh I hate this constant change of couples. It's hard to adapt into each of them. I still miss AlShin couple

[hudsy]

i totally love hwanhee n hwayobi....
they are so fun to watch!!! why replace them now?!!
wats wrong with the WGM producers? =(

[scarss]

Is Kangin not in the show anymore? I remember only seeing him for like a few episodes unless he's not one of Seollal Specials...???

[diopatra]

okay i almost stop watching the show when hyunjoong and hwangbo leave the show. now im totally not watching this, without hwanhee and yobi

[*bluebutterfly*]

I think it got boring ever since the orginal couples started leaving. It's not the same I dont think.
But Son Dambi, Marco, Hwayobi and Hwanhee havent been on it for long and already leaving. Its different now! Lol

[iloveyou5201314]

wow WGM is really pissing me off.... I rlly loved the AnSol couple n since they left things were different.... i kept watching because of the lettuce couple. i really love the Hwayobi couple too but all the existing couples r leaving n that pisses me off i rlly wanted to see more of them... WGM should at least have a reunion special so we can catch up with the couples that left.... sigh no wonder the shows ratings are dropping

[chinaeyes711]

What!?! I think if they continue to do that, even if they cast Idols in that show, no one will watch it anymore. I admit, before I dont like how Hwanhee treat Hwayobi but now I get used to it. and now they will be replaced again?

[plyxyang]

the shows going to be scripted now? that's not a reality any more ... don't care too much for the new couples they brought in but I do like Kangin and Yujin ...

[b_rules]

i thought junjins enlisting to the military this feb..does dat mean he might go soon? or was that a rumour too? hehe..

[akirakon]

Another shocking change? What makes them think that the rating is going down? HwanYobi couple is doing really great now. Don't take them away from us! Ugh. If they ever take out HwanYobi couple out WGM, I don't think I'll ever see WGM anymore.

[mizztaznchick]

:shocked:
WTF?!
Hwanyobi is leaving?!
The only reason i actually watch WGM is cuz of them!
They're my fav couple in the whole freaking show!
And just when Hwanhee is comfortable w/ Yobi,they r going to replace them,WTH!
Since they r leaving i dont think i'll evn watch WGM anymore...
except da cuts to the Kangin/Yunji couple,IF A SUJU MEMBER APPEARED ON IT AGAIN!
Damn,i'm so pissed off!
Anywayz,I'm gonna missed the Hwanyobi couple
