The Romanticist - Moon Haewon X Jung Jaehyun
moon haewon
personality
charismatic, witty, confident, easygoing
escapist, easily distracted, disorganized, naive
moon haewon is a girl of many strengths. she is extremely charismatic, and has an aura of charm that somehow manages to draw people's attention to her. that might be why she became an idol, but it's also quite questionable because her fanbase is literally made up of 2 people, though that's besides the point. she is quite fascinating to talk to, and it might be because she always has something to say, but haewon is truly a very appealing girl. it might be because of her wit, since this girl can come up with the wittiest jokes ever. she's known by her team mates to be a complete troll, constantly making puns out of anything, but she is also known for her smart replies in varieties. perhaps that's why they have been able to gain a bit of popularity, due to her quick and sharp answers, but it does not make them all that popular at all. despite that, haewon remains confident, or at least confident enough to become self-assured in her talents and her looks. it may seem like she's cocky with her talents, but that's not the case at all. she is incredibly poised, and positive about her assets (and of course she knows what her assets are), and flaunts it well. she can be confident in herself, but haewon does know what her limits are, and she recognizes the line between confidence and being too cocky. haewon is pretty easygoing and tends to go with the flow, more than anything. she trusts that whatever happens will end up fine and that it was no use to worry so much about the present. she lives a carefree life, and is always adjusting to the various changes in her life. change in schedule? that is fine. change in hair? okay. change in everything? it's chill.
however, haewon is an escapist. ever since she was young, she has always tried to escape from the stressful moments in her life by fantasizing about things that made her happy. this happened especially when she was a trainee and she was starting to give up on debuting, but haewon would constantly dream about being an idol, finding herself lost in her thoughts. even nowadays, haewon escapes her surroundings by creating fantasies in her head, and while that's not a bad thing, haewon has started relying on the idea of her fantasies turning into reality. that may end up backfiring on her as she obsesses over an idea, but haewon doesn't care. she just wants to escape. because of that, she's always easily distracted. it takes a lot for her to concentrate, as she hates siting in the same spot for too long. it makes her jittery and her head is always in the clouds, due to the many things that she has to think about. it affects her performance and her actions as an idol, and some people even insult her for being scatterbrained, but she can't help it. it's just normal for her. she's also very disorganized and hates cleaning up after herself. haewon often says she'll do it "later", but never does, she loses things pretty easily because of how disorganized she is, and her team mates are always chiding at her to clean after herself because haewon is a complete mess. it gets annoying at points, but really, haewon is just too crazy to clean up after herself, so she just ignores it and hopes that the mess cleans itself up. it might be expected, since she wasn't exposed to the world very much as a young girl, but haewon is incredibly naive. she lacks a lot of good judgment, and while her innocence may be cute to some, it's just annoying to others, as they feel like it is their job to protect her against the dangers of the world. haewon is a little bit too trusting, and that will lead her to her demise. moon haewon may be a girl of many strengths, but moon haewon is also a girl of many weaknesses.
background haewon had joined happy face entertainment in 2009, when she was about twelve years old, and at the time, haewon was only an impressionably young girl who had high hopes and dreams of being an idol. however, she didn't anticipate for it to take seven years to achieve her goals, and throughout that time, she almost quit - multiple times actually. she had gotten in because of her looks and her dancing talent, but it was hard. everyone was much older than her and they often taunted her because of that, and for a very long time, haewon felt resentment against many of the trainees that were training with her. she couldn't stand the fact that so many of them were able to debut, while she was stuck there, working incredibly hard from behind the scenes, and she felt that her company wasn't recognizing that, and there were many times where she just wanted to leave and go to another company instead. she was a dreamer. she dreamt of the days where she would go on variety shows (since to be honest, she was one of the funnier trainees) and the days where she could perform on stage. she dreamt of being able to see her dreams come into fruition, and after seven years, her company had placed her in a group that was going to be called "dreamcatcher". haewon felt that this name was incredibly fitting for her, especially since when she managed to catch her dreams. the group debuted in early 2016, but while haewon dreamed of idol life being great and full of attention, it was as if she was a trainee again. because of all the girl groups that were being debuted at the same time, it was hard to compete, and haewon came to beg for variety show spots. she needed to get her group out there. she, along with her groupmates, have worked too hard for them to not achieve at least a bit of stardom, so she utilized her witty jokes as cleverly as possible, so when her company asked if she would like to star on "romantic & idol", haewon agreed to it without even a second of hesitation.

What do you think about this program? "it's really great! it's something that warms my heart because i get to meet new people that i wouldn't have met in any other circumstance, and it's just a refreshing thing. i'm so excited to see who else will be on the show!" she smiled brightly.
ideal type? haewon sat in her chair for a moment, as she thought long and hard about her ideal type. "someone honest and caring," she finally said. "i like guys that know how to treat a girl right. someone sensitive maybe?"
what did you hope coming to this show? "i'm not really good with boys and i'm a little unexperienced, so it might be a little awkward at times," haewon laughed sheepishly. "but i hope to have a good time on this show!"
Anything you want to say? haewon paused for a second before opening , "please support this show! i will try and show you a new image of me for all the viewers. thank you so much! i love you all!" she finished it off with a charismatic blow of a kiss to the camera.

jung jaehyun
personality
reliable, amiable, considerate, charming
sensitive, pessimistic, too selfless, dependent
jung jaehyun is a flower boy, perfect in both mannerisms and his appearance. he is a reliable guy, and everyone feels like they can trust him because he's just a trustworthy person. he's constantly working hard and always being honest with others, so it makes it hard for people to not trust jung jaehyun. he's genuine, to the point where people wonder how someone can be so real and so authentic, but jung jaehyun is a boy who manages to surprise everyone. it may be because of the huge smile on his face 24/7 or his gentle laugh, but once you look at him, you already know that jaehyun is an amiable guy. there is just something about him, but he's just so pleasant to look at and admire; it's truly amazing. jaehyun tends to be shy at first, but that doesn't stop him from being friendly to others, and it doesn't impede him at all. he's also quite considerate of others, tending to think of them before himself. if it's cold, he'll walk the way where the wind is blowing, so that he blocks the other person from getting all the wind; if there's a lot of rain, he'll be the one to hold the umbrella because he can't stand it if he's the one being inconsiderate; and for every moment, jaehyung just knows how to be considerate to others. he hates causing an inconvenience to others, and tries to prevent it as much as he can, but if it happens, it happens. like haewon, he is quite charming. it might be because of his mannerisms, his polite gestures, his likable personality, or just something else, but everyone seems to love jaehyun. he's a very pleasant person to be around, and even those who had just met him find him very fascinating - in a good way of course. people are drawn to him so naturally, and that's probably why he's so popular, but even haewon can't help to stare for a few seconds longer than she should - but she'd never admit it.
however, jaehyun isn't perfect at everything, and in fact, he's quite the sensitive guy. for every slight change, he reacts greatly to it, and is the type to overreact about small issues. if someone doesn't hear him say one thing, he attributes it to the idea that they may be mad at him or hate hearing him talk or perhaps they think that he's annoying, but never once will he think that they just didn't hear him. he's very susceptible to change, and hates it a lot, but he can't help it. he likes it when things stay the same; same is good, but sometimes, change is bad. he can also be pessimistic as well. more often than sometimes, jaehyun finds it hard to look at things in a positive manner because honestly, if everything goes bad, what is the good in that? according to murphy's law, "anything that can go bad will go bad," and jaehyun lives by that credo. things that can go bad will go bad, and that's probably why he thinks about the worst possible scenario more than the best possible scenario, but that's just him and his pessimism. however, he can also be too selfless for his own good. he tends to give up too much for other people, and never giving himself enough. jaehyun believes it's just his way of being an unselfish human being, but really, he just doesn't realize that he is giving up way too much of himself. if someone is hungry, he'll offer them his full meal; if someone is uncomfortable, he'll give them every soft thing he has; there is no limit to this boy's giving nature, and while he thinks it's a good thing, it's a wonder as to how he's able to be so selfless that it's actually become something detrimental to him. jaehyun is also very dependent. he relies on others a lot, and tends to feel like he can't do something if there isn't someone there rooting for him or at least by his side while he's doing it. he acts as if he cannot live when the other person is gone, and his strength and energy is largely determined by those who are around him. his happiness is contingent on his friends, his joy is based on his family, and so much more. despite all his flaws, though, jaehyun is truly an amazing boy and deserves the world.

first meeting honestly, their first meeting was awkward as hell, and it did not help that when he asked her what group she was from, jaehyun still looked very confused, and that's when haewon really knew how unpopular she was. him, on the other hand, was from an extremely popular group (which was expected as he was from one of the big three companies), but it still intimidated haewon, due to the fact that she never really interacts with anyone from there ever. really, their relationship is very awkward at the start, since they don't really know what they should say to the other, and it was full of awkward chuckles, light staring, and a bit of odd silences. even though she debuted a few months before him, she was pretty confused as to if she should call him her senior or her friend or whatever, but she did make it by for a few hours by not even saying his name at all (which is something that she's pretty proud of, even though she really shouldn't be glad about it at all). while they did start off on a rather awkward foot, they eventually loosened up and became more used to the other, luckily.
interaction after finally getting used to the other's presence, the pair became very relaxed and interacted very naturally on camera. aside from haewon's witty comments and cringeworthy jokes, they share similar likes and personality traits and are often comfortable with each other, to the point where after a day or so, it was like they have known each other for a few years. it was probably due to a determination to get past their awkward beginning and probably was an effort by jaehyun to get to know her more, after his lame reaction when she told him what group she was from, and he didn't even recognize the name. on camera, the pair tend to be quite jokish and interact in a more fun way, rather than being flirty or suggestive. their usual antics include lots of playful bantering, eating, and just anything fun that they can think of. to be honest, they look very close with each other, and often times, viewers are confused as to whether or not they're friends or lovers, but even to jaehyun and haewon, they're not quite sure themselves.
ending at the end, jaehyun chooses haewon after a moment of contemplating. it isn't because he doesn't have feelings for her or because he would hate to date her, but rather, it was the opposite. he wanted to make sure it was the right decision, but looking at it from several angles, it didn't seem like a bad choice, and the pair got along quite well, so jaehyun chose her with open arms. though the both of them only had shortly started feeling something special for the other, they were pretty darn sure that whatever happens to them will happen, and they were willing to go with the flow on this one.
