On a final note. I miss the interactions between Shin Hye and Taec. I tried not to ship them since my last ship sunk and it was hard to take it at that time. I have since moved on and maybe it was for the best. But when it comes to these two, I have a internal struggle with myself....ship ship ship....no, no, no...ship...no! I wonder if there is such a thing as partial ship like 1/8th.
Aahhh...back to reality, no ship...yet.
I find it hard not to ship these two only because they have so much in common. They have similar personality, values and great compatibility. Both came from happy family (parents with happy marriage and they also want to have similar marriage), value family, down to earth, they are cheerful, they have self confidence so they have no problem doing variety shows or interviews (they don't need someone as a crutch/support when they are interviewed). They travel on their own without their staff. Both of them also wanted to marry early at first but now want to postpone it because they are too busy and have things to do. Both cook, interest in bowling, wakeboarding etc. They are brave and are survivors that can overcome any obstacles that come their way. That is why Taec isn't afraid to go out on his own because he faced it and just said "Hi" to people who recognize him in public. He isn't too scared to go out. Sad to know some celebrities are like prisoners because they are unable to go out on their own due to their popularity. Last but not least, both have opposite sex friends and had some type of dating rumors circulated at some point in their lives.
In TMAD they compliment each other. Taec doesn't finish through in what he does and Shin Hye guides/pushes him to finish. For example: In the first guesting, when they were planting, Taec was going to rest when Shin Hye guided him to finish planting the eggplant and sweet potatoes. Taec worked doubly hard when she is around him. In the second guesting, ep. 16 when they returned from the store, Taec suggested resting but Shin Hye was the one who said they need to marinade the pork for the next day. It's cute when Taec is always around to assist Shin Hye and he goes through extra effort to do it.
okay, gotta stop this rambling. I'm just imagining things.
P.S. Forgot to mention that both are smart, witty, has sense of humor, responsible, and speaks Japanese and English.
