Global We Got Married - TaecGui - Episode 9 - Review Summary

Hello Readers from all over the Globe~! ^^

Annyeong! ^^ Just wanted to say a quick "thank you" for all the love that Mew Cafe has received so far! :D I've seen that we've had friends from all over the globe frequently checking into Mew Cafe :3 So hello friends from our top six destinations: Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines and the US for your continuous support! ^^ 

There are so many other countries that I haven't named, and if you are from one of them, just know that I know of you guys and I really appreciate all your support! :D I will try my best to not disappoint! ^-^

This belated Episode Review is dedicated to you guys! ^w^* (You know who you are xD)

The Big Day~~

So, most of us would've seen by now the amazingly emotional proposal Taecyeon made towards Gui Gui two weeks back, well in this episode, it's finally the wedding day! :'3

After a good sleep, in which they still look like tired puppies afterwards, Taec and Gui Gui approaches us hand in hand. <-- (Ok, I know this isn't the first time they've held hands, and I don't know about you, but it was the first time that seeing it made me squeal! >//w//<) 

Taecyeon proposes to have breakfast- which is touching since he made it quite clear at the beginning that breakfast wasn't his "thing". Gui Gui had also noticed the sudden change in attitude, but Taec reassures her, saying it's because it's their wedding day, and it'll be hard on them both- especially the bride (how considerate x3). 

Breakfast? Breakfast happened to be... seafood BBQ! ^^ I'm not a very big fan of seafood but watching the two dig in just made me slightly rethink about my taste in food =w= 

Taecyeon's attempt at cracking the 'Oyster' joke didn't quite have the same affect as Khuntoria did, he only got the battering eyelids of Gui Gui's innocence instead x3 But who doesn't love an evil laugh at breakfast? lol

Taec then opens up a prawn, and feeds it to Gui Gui. (Something he said he's never down for a girl- not even his mother! ^^) And Gui Gui's adorable-ness when she almost nibbled Taec's fingers off was just too much! XD Lol! Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom~! ^w^

Seeing the two feed each other was very sweet~ ^w^

The Wedding~

Whilst Gui Gui gets changed into her wedding dress, Taecyeon is all ready in his Tuxedo. With Balloons and Bubble Guns in hand, he checks that everything is perfect ^^

What can I say about the wedding? It was just how Gui Gui had wanted it, just the two of them, by the beach, no guests, no officiants, just bride and groom saying their vows to each other. Just like Gui Gui said, it was "a scene from a dream". ^^

(And when they said they wanted to do it by themselves- they really weren't kidding! They even hummed the "Here Comes the Bride" song themselves! O.o)

"I, Taecyeon, solemnly swear, 

whenever... there are times that you're having fun way too much, 

and maybe I get tired a little bit,

but I swear that I will make you happy."

***

"I, Gui Gui, maybe Oppa sometime very 'jjandoli', I promise we are be going to happy!"

The Wedding ended with a sky of bubbles ^^
One for every memory they have made/ will make together~

At the Cave Cafe~

After a successful wedding, our TaecGui couple find themselves at a cafe within a cave. Not the most common of places to head to after a wedding, but since they're on their honeymoon to Jejudo, why not? x)

In memory of their wedding, TaeGui decides to leave a message to one another written on a heart-shaped piece of wood which would be left hanging with others in the cafe. The message was written in both Chinese and English with both their favourite cartoon characters too ^^ ♥

What made me laugh was when Taec showed off his Chinese reading skills and tried to read what Gui Gui wrote. He mistook "認識 RenShi (to meet/get to know)" for "謝謝 XieXie (thank you)", and Gui Gui corrected him unconciously with much enthusiasm in FULL Chin-glish XD 

Taec's overwhelmed face was hilarious and so was Gui Gui when she noticed what she had just said, and tried to clarify what she meant which only made it more confusing for Taec xD  Gui Gui, Gui Gui, Gui Gui~ TwT

Then, taking out a lipstick, Gui Gui proposes the idea of leaving their lipstick marks on their creation, as if to "seal the deal". Taec on the other hand would rather sign his name in blood as an alternative! XD But we all know that Gui Gui would win him over eventually~ >w< 

And how best to decide who goes first other than a game of Rock Paper Scissors? XD

Of all the times Gui Gui could've won, it just had to be this one! I mean, that's bad for Taec for sure, but for us, that's just letting us see what's anticipated faster, so we don't mind~~! xD

This might be the first time we've ever seen Taec go all aegyo on Gui Gui for a change (correct me if I'm wrong!), but who knew Gui Gui would be so merciless, haha xD She ends up with the brag rights of lipstick-ing an about-to-cry-an-ocean-Taec XD

After purposefully making Taec look like a clown, Taecyeon shows us (and Gui Gui!) an insight of his hidden talent in applying lipstick- even his wife was surprised at his skills!

If one game of Rock, Paper, Scissors wasn't enough, our TaecGui couple goes for Round 2 again, and this time, loser gets vandalized with the accursed lipstick. This round had Taecyeon on his knees praying to the Gods to help him preserve what's left of his "masculine pride" XD 

They decide to do it back-to-back (a very unique way of playing Rock, Paper, Scissors lol) and the draws that they kept having the 2nd and 3rd time made the simple game tense to watch! I really love those mini "stretches" and "self-prep" that they do before a game, it's like they are preparing for a pro-wrestling match rather than a simple children's game! haha XD

Since Taecyeon had to face the penalty for the last round, I guess it's only fair for Gui Gui to lose in this round (it would be too harsh on manly Taec, afterall! xD), and even though it's meant to be a "penalty", Gui Gui looked like she was born to wear lip-stick blush! She looked like a real life Chibi-Chan ^w^ Oh and not to forget, Taec's reaction to his win was hilarious!

Is he really the same guy we saw before? :P

Soon after, they headed out to take their cute honeymoon selcas in front of breath-taking views of the countryside. ^^

Aquarium Date~

Keeping their promise of spending the day together, our TaecGui couple heads to their last destination of the day- a date at the Aquarium! ^^ (Everywhere they've been has all been seaside-based! x3)

Passing the nose-to-glass stage at the sight of the beautiful underwater view, our couple takes their seats at a Sea-Elephant Show. I must admit that the charisma of the creature alone cracked me up, but I really saw it coming when the trainer asked for a volunteer. GuiGui (knowing that Taec had a was repellent to animals) was more than happy to give away her husband without a second thought, and was also (shockingly) the one who was most excited when Taec was asked to "Ppo Ppo"! XD

Gotta give the guy credit for trying, I mean the Sea-Elephant sure acted a tad over-friendly~ XD 

Our lovely TaecGui Couple ends their wedding day with a pot of ice-cream and pinky-promises in front of Asia's biggest Aquarium Screen to have a "happy time" during their marriage.

"Kamdongnim... 16 episodes really isn't enough~~"

Global We Got Married - TaecGui - Episode 8 - Review Summary

Good Evening Guys! ^^

So today's Friday again and that's both good and bad news for me... <<" Firstly, today = TaecGui Friday! xD And secondly... that means only 2 more glorious days left before going back to mandatory confinement called education Q A Q But fear not! I'll post review summaries for both this week and last week in hope that your week would be better than mine so far! =w=

Okay, so in last week's episode, we finally find out the happenings after they announced they were gonna explore the hotel's swimming pool. The pair looked like puppies in the water- it was adorable to watch! ^^ But boyy did GuiGui's reaction towards wet skin meeting cold air crack me up! X'D If I was her, I would've done the same- seek protection from yon chlorined water! > 3 <

  (...And then send Taecyeon to get the towels! x9)

After they settled down at a poolside table warmly-wrapped and cozy, the question finally popped up! >//w//< No...!! Not that question, silly! :9 (I know! But... shhh it's still a tad early! >w<) The type of question that makes one giddy which I thought definitely wouldn't come up or be spoken about again but will popularly be requested by the press... good boy Taec! ^//w//^ The reason behind the answer to "Would you date in real life" in the wedding photoshoot's Yes or No Game!! ^^

I personally understand fully why Gui Gui would answer "No", but getting to see Taec confront her about it (thus making the atmosphere awkward) makes Mew giddy! kekeke >//w//< I guess Taec is just one of those guys who wants to make sure and confirm everything~ ^^ Poor GuiGui, she sounds so frustrated over trying to get her feelings across in the interview! (And those frequently inaccurate English translations doesn't do her any justice either T-T)

Talking about interviews... did anyone understand Taec's eraser-trust simile? << It sounded very sincere, but he lost me half way, if anyone can explain what he meant to me through a comment below, I'd be very grateful! ^^*

At Dinner Time~ ♥

As Gui Gui gets ready to meet Taec for dinner, Taec is busy rehaersing for the surprise he had in plan for Gui Gui. Gingerly thumbling around on the keys of a grand piano, Taec hides himself behind it at the site of his incoming wife. 



Then, when Gui Gui's distracted by a waitress, Taecyeon takes the chance to lift himself onto the piano seat and play on cue with the glowing lights- their chopsticks song ^^ ♥ 



It really was a heart-warming moment for Gui Gui to hear the full composition of their song with the bridge and finale she didn't know before.

Supporting him 'til the end despite his tiny mistake, the performance ends with the sound of Gui Gui's applause, and I bet what happened next Gui Gui hadn't seen it coming! x3 

Taec (always organised!) sets the mood with a song playing from his phone. Then, we can all confess that our hearts melted when Taecyeon takes out a letter which read:~

"When I first saw you,when we took the hot cocoa by one shot,something connected.

When you asked for the silver shoes, I did know how much you would want it.

But after when you’ve got them, your eyes shined and that is something I would never forget.

When we were playing on the snow field, it felt like I became a little child again.

Let us be honest.

Do you feel something when you see me?

During the wedding’s photo shot,did you feel something different from the usual?

Not being able look at me straight,laughing whenever I get closer.

I have changed for sure, little by little, you’ve changed me.

Now,I want to say this from the bottom of my heart,

After just the first few sentences, Gui Gui just couldn't hold back the tears. Even though she didn't quite fully understand the handwritten letter, from the familiar keywords, she could muster the meaning of the content and felt the true sincerity of the otherwise well-written and emotionally-delivered letter. Like us, as well as in the clip itself, Gui Gui said in interview that she had flashbacks just like how it would be in a movie, and repeatedly expressed her appreciation and how emotional she felt ^^*

Gui Gui, would you marry me tomorrow?"  "...Yes!"

I'm pretty sure your tears wasn't because of the "sad" music playing from Taec's phone, right Gui Gui? x3

Between mouthfuls of spaghetti, Taecyeon initiates another heart-to-heart conversation. "When were you the most happiest being with me?"

Maybe it was just me, but did anyone else notice that Taec looked a little disappointed when she answered 'having fun with him'? He might've been hoping for an answer of specific memories that they shared together <w<

And then the next question (which I think really shouldn't have been cut in the youtube version): "When we're apart, do you think of me?" To which both parties said "Yes." ^//w//^

I know that some people aren't satisfied with the fact that Gui Gui thinks of Taec when 2PM is mentioned, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that. That's just life. In fact, it's actually a good thing since it means that the first person she thinks of when 2PM is mentioned is Taecyeon and not Nikhun- and that is telling us something! kekeke TwT

I also really love the Gui Gui that "pops" in and out of Taec's mind yelling "Oppa~~! x3", and how Taec words this as a simile of "like a random flashmob" hahaha xD A flashmob of Gui Gui's? Now that would be interesting! Lol XD

Back to the Hotel~~

Well... I must admit that the second half of this episode looks more like a CF for vinegar energy drinks more than anything else haha xD Our TaecGui couple decide to do some stretching before bed to wake themselves up a bit (as ironic as that sounds). We can now confirm that Taecyeon is not flexible haha XD But we don't blame him! :'3 

Taec decides to take a break and asks GuiGui to pour him some of that vinegar energy that he brought with him. GuiGui (being GuiGui) pours much more of the vinegar solution than she was meant to as a prank. The ratio of vinegar solution to water was pretty much 8:1 haha xD. What I find really cute is the fact that Taec knew what she was up to but did a one shot anyway like she wanted. N'awww :'3 

The delayed after-taste reactions are HILARIOUS XD

"Gui Gui..." 

"Yeah?"

"Come sit here..." *CRINGE* "C'mere! C'mere!" 

*Then tries to shove the rest of the solution down her throat straight from the bottle LOL*

Now our TaecGui couple wouldn't be TaecGui if there isn't a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors! :'3 Winner takes the death syrup this time! (To GuiGui's protests that she's always the loser XD) And of all the times GuiGui could've won, she just had to win this one! haha XD Taking her punishment, she downs the drink in one go and... the after-taste kicked in XD

GuiGui should've been the one to drink after the next round too, but Taecyeon volunteered and saved his new wife, insisting that it was "good for his body" x3

They then tried their stretches once more and a miracle happened! Taecyeon was now twice as flexible as before and the stretches he couldn't do before- he now could do with ease! The two then dance around the room in disbelief ^^

Before they decide to go to bed in their matching alien pyjamas, Gui Gui takes out a gift she got for Taec when she went to Disneyland in January. You guessed right! It's one of those green aliens again. This time a clip-on miniature doll which they both attached one to their shoes. >w<

After a long day, our TaecGui couple make their way under the covers in matching green pyjamas, time for some much deserved rest! ^^ How they managed to get through the day with just 1-2 hours sleep is beyond me, I can  hardly stay awake with 7 hours!

Good night! Sweet Dreams! ^.^

Gui Gui~

After watching this ep, I read some of the comments under the video on YouTube and I must admit it lead me to some shocking findings. 

It seems that at the time of filming, GuiGui had been thrown into a scandal with her previous co-star in a drama by her own estranged Mother. I know that some people openly judge Gui Gui with their careless comments over the net, now I truly understand the meaning behind "Don't judge a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes". 

Our poor Gui Gui has had a rocky past with a broken family, and being the only child, I'm sure a lot of stress had been put on her. Nonetheless, she had pulled through and her achievements and the her today is amazing. 

Some people may say that she's too childish, but can you really find it in your heart to say that to a child who had had to grow up faster than others to support her what's left of her family, and whom can't sleep without lively music at night even as a grown up today? 

Sometimes, people don't think about their own actions and words and that can be a big problem.

To our beautiful Gui Gui, we'll always be supporting you- Jia You! Fighting~! ^^

Global We Got Married - TaecGui - Episode 7 - Review Summary

Hi, Hello, Salutations! ^^

So this will be my first proper blog post about my theme (all things East-Asian) and Mew has decided to start with the last thing she's brushed her whiskers upon which fits into that category. Today is Sunday! Which means which means that Friday was but two days ago! And I don't know what Friday means to you, but for me, it's time for my weekly dose of TaecGui-Goodness! >//w//<

For those of you who have never heard of the program "We Got Married", let alone the Global Edition, let me give you a quick 30 seconds round up of what kinda show it is so that I won't lose you half way through down the page, and if you like the sound of it, join the club! Give into temptation and make that first click that seals your deal with the devil! (Not literally, lol) Come ride the hallyu wave with us! ^^ And for those of you who do know already, feel free to skip, skip ahead! :)

"We Got Married" is basically a South Korean TV Variety Show which pairs up two celebrities to be in a virtual "marriage". The chosen bride and groom would have their virtual weddings, photo shoots etc. and little missions along the way to help them develop their relationship (real or not! ;3) throughout the period of time they spend together. This show pretty much showcases new shipping (a.k.a fangirling but for couples) possibilities ^^ 

This weeks episode pretty much confirms how adorably gullible and accident-prone Gui Gui is and how much she sucks at Rock Paper Scissors. 

The TaecGui couple finally get to go on their honeymoon to Jeju Island after their wedding photo shoot last week. (Why they decided to go on their honeymoon before their wedding- or heck, even the proposal scene!- is beyond me, but hey at least they're not the only ones who have done that so far..... Ahem.Khuntoria..... > 3 >) 

At the Airport...

The poor TaecGui couple arrive at the airport after only 1-2 hours sleep, but still with a pleasant atmosphere nonetheless. (This part was only mentioned in the FULL version. I suggest you watch the full versions of each episode instead of the 3-part Youtube snippets because they leave out some really good scenes.) When they were at the counter to be checked in, sly Taecyeon asked the assistant (in Korean) for Gui Gui's passport after she was finished with it. But even though innocent Gui Gui was oblivious to the situation (due to language barriers), she caught on (literally snatching her passport from him) just in time, very much insisting that her passport photo is "top secret" xD KekekeAnd then there was the plane ride. I wonder if they managed to take a nap during that? :3

At Jeju Island...

Cute Luggage? :3
Disclaimer: Taken from Tumbler ^^

When they arrived at the airport at the other side, a huge white car was waiting for them. They played Rock Paper Scissors and the loser had to have a picture taken in the massive trunk- and that, of course, was Gui Gui. X3 Even Taecyeon ended up in the trunk too but let's just say he didn't fit as well haha xD

The first destination they headed to was... The beach! With camera in hand and Gui Gui's in the other, Taecyeon manoeuvred them carefully around muddy puddles to get to the sea front. Meanwhilst, Gui Gui says, "Oppa, be careful! I only have Oppa" > w <

Setting up the tripod, Gui Gui spots two horse statues in the distance and soon enough a picture was taken with the duo hugging (quite dramatically lol) in front of white horse "Gui Gui" and red horse "Oppa". ^^

"You want go to swimming, together?" She Asks- probably without the hint of an idea that Taec was gonna run (dragging her with him) then leave her alone in the bog, mouth open after helpless screaming. The retreating figure of a mischievous Taec saying "Annyeong~" was really cute kekeke > w <

Taec sets the camera, "Gui Gui~! Smile!"

"NO smile!! Oppa!!"

"Umm?"

"I can't move!"

"Okay, wait a second...!" Adjusts camera some more~

*Insert Gui Gui's Squeal Here~~~*

Taecyeon quickly sets the self-timer and runs back to pose next to Gui Gui... Well at least where she was. The girl had stomped back to the camera with popping veins, and surprisingly, hanging her bag on the tripod, she ran to the sea again with a Taec who had other plans up his sleeve. This time, Gui Gui stood ankle-deep in the bog and glared laser-eyed at Taec. She got tricked again! x3

Well it's a good thing this didn't break out into their first couple fight as they end their trip to the seaside with a bear hug, a piggyback ride and Gui Gui's remake (more like a punishment from their Rock Paper Scissors War xD) of 2pm's "10 Points out of 10 Points" ^^

 (Disclaimer: Taken From Tumbler ^^)

At the Hotel...

After settling in at their hotel room (which was filled with rose petals >//w//<), they unpacked their things from their bags. Taec had bought the "Couple T-Shirts" Gui Gui had wanted to wear together, and despite the fact that they were sponsored clothing (sigh... T^T) they looked really cute in their selca ^^

Perfect Match? x3

Then Gui Gui (after some trouble trying to open her suitcase) brought out yet another one of those Alien-themed items from Toy Story. This time? Gloves. How she even managed to get these is beyond me. Do they even sell these?? Must've took a special visit to Disneyland haha 

After Taec quickly changed the subject of trying them on, Gui Gui brought out a powder mask that they could use together. And guess what? Gui Gui being Gui Gui gave their toes an early one instead. The couple was so speechless they could only laugh! xD

Taec was trying to read the label in Chinese if you are wondering haha xD

And that's about it for this episode, folks! Me too, I wish it was longer. Can't wait to see what they get up to at the swimming pool next week though xD These episodes just aren't long enough! :')

What did you think of this episode? Don't worry about spazzing, just share in the comments below, and I'll spazz right back at ya! > w 6

I hope you enjoyed my post! And if you like what you see, please follow me for more updates on We Got Married and the TaecGui Couple! X3

Until next time...
