Should I Continue to Support SoEul?


Lately I heard that Kim So Eun and Song Jae Rim will be aired together on another marriage based show. Now I can not be more happy for the two. Both are striving for higher levels of acting and I appreciate them both as great actors. 

The thing that has me concerned are their followers. Now, no where am I saying anything against them, just the behavior I have experienced with most of them really makes me upset. In the past few weeks I have been receiving PMs stating how I should just give up on my stories on the SoEul couple and how they will never get together, because Kim So Eun and Song Jae Rim will most likely be together and I am just wasting my time. 

I have received these messages from not only one yet many users, who support the SoLim couple. Here is my answer to all of those who told me to give up my stories on the SoEul couple. 

It does not matter to me who ends up with who, that is not in my control, that is up to to them as humans to be with whom they find suitable for them. They have more right over their life than anyone one of us. 

But I will defiantly never give up on my stories about SoEul couple. I enjoy watching the SoLim couple together too, but forever the SoEul couple will remain as my ultimate OTP. The reason for that is simple, it is because their pairing in Boys Over Flowers, brought forth inspiration in me. 

I can even today easily recall the day I watched Boys Over Flowers and instantly fell in love with Yi Jung and Ga Eul's pairing. Honestly I had only began to watch the drama for Kim Hyun Joong, yet my attention shifted to the SoEul couple. Kim Bum and Kim So Eun's acting and their appearance together, brought me joy and inspired me to write. Yes I began writing for them, because I wanted more fanfics about this lovely couple. As time went by, my inspiration began to grow, and I improved my writing skills to be able to write great stories that the best couple in my heart deserve. 

My fanfics led me here to AFF. So honestly thanks to the SoEul couple I am here today. Since we didn't get to see them on screen as much I began making digital edits of them, very simple and straight forward. Then I began improving, and I am at the level of a graphic designer thanks to them. Last but not least, I watched a lot of fan made videos about them which inspired me to make video edits myself, honestly I have some to no experience in video editing, yet as I began to make edits for them I wanted to improve, to meet expectations with edits today and really have the video in my head come to life, thus titling myself as a trailer designer. 

Overall I will not stop or give up anything. This is what I like doing and what brings forth a smile on my face. It does not matter to me who ends up with who, yet the SoEul couple have gave me so much inspiration that I am here, where I am today and honestly I couldn't be more proud. The SoEul couple were, are and always will be my ultimate OTP. 

That will be all, I just wanted everyone to know that just because someone tells you something, you should never give up on anything that makes you happy, because it is what brings you joy, not someone else, and with that happiness you can strive for the high steps, and be led to success. Remember, the little things are what make the differences in life. Thank you for listening. I hope all of you are having a great day. Remember to always smile, even if you aren't having a good day, keep in mind, your one smile will surely lighten up someone else's day.

It's okay. Besides, I heard they were not more than friend. And, so eun ady had someone else. So does jae rim. I'm not sure about it though. But rest assured. No worries. Hehe you can ship who with who. As long as you understand that's just your preference. I'm saying this as some fans can't understand and hate it when their bias did not end up with the one that they root for. And I'm kinda find that annoying haha

That's the spirit. I'm so proud of you because the fact that there were people trying to tell you what not to do especially when it's so important to you and I'm glad this didn't effect you.

Lol. I feel like some people just take the whole fic stuff too... personal? Like, you don't only write with this one couple because you think they might be together. It's the chemistry in your own eyes, the inspiration they bring you when together, and just that you're comfortable writing with them. I mean, look at the fandom in general, we all are hopeless in regards of the dudes getting together, and still?? Idk, sorry for ranting, it just makes me mad. Such people just read the fics for the couple and not because they are fond of one's writing. It's sad, really -.-
Fighting at you! Keep your mindset and don't give up<3
