Hello back fgnuva........I agree with your thoughts about Taecyeon. It's interesting how he is able to put people at ease with his boyish demeanor. I find his attitude refreshing. It is hard to find real respect in today's crazy world.
I'm not sure exactly why (am working on putting it into words) but I think he compliments Shin Hye in a way I haven't seen with other men she has either worked with or associated with as friends. Perhaps it is just a feeling I get when I watch their facial expressions and body language.
Nonetheless, I am intrigued by the two and hope they collaborate on other projects outside TMAD. I also hope they become good friends because one never has too many true friends.
