Behind the new story!
If you haven't read my new one-shot story yet, check it out first before you continue reading this blog post since this will contain major SPOILERS. HAHAHAHA.
Read it here: Forgetting. Remembering. Moving On.
For those who have read it, let's talk about it, shall we? HOHOHO.
As I've written in the description, I started writing this story after watching the Paeksang Awards. Shin Hye was too sad, while Kim Soo Hyun was too happy sooooo I just decided to make that a conflict. Hahahaha. What did you think of Kim Soo Hyun? I actually really like the guy, and he seems really nice in real life so I couldn't make him a jerk. Did you think the break up was believable? Soo Hyun was at the peak of his career around that time, while Shin Hye was extremely busy with FBND, Miracle in Cell No 7, plus being just cast in The Heirs. I feel bad for their fictional relationship, actually, especially since they met while studying in the same university. :(
BUT of course I was rooting for lonely boy, Min Ho! Curious about who the girl he was talking to at that party? For those of you who think she's an actress, she's not. Just a hot girl who hangs out with actors. She could be a model. I was close to naming her, but I didn't want her to be a real character but more as a plot device -- the one that ultimately pushes Min Ho to do something when he's been sitting on his feelings for too long without doing anything about it. Did she and her 'unusual arrangement' with Min Ho bother you too much? Don't worry, baby boy isn't the type to have those kinds of things. Purely fictional! Let's just say I wanted a way to show how Min Ho has changed since he fell in love with Shin Hye. Wink! :D
Okay now for my major concern. Shin Hye's struggle between her hang-ups from the previous relationship, and her growing feelings for Min Ho. I hope it came across alright, because if it didn't, then you might not like Shin Hye's character here too much. I thought it was okay for her to be affected when her ex-boyfriend acts like he's so happy, while she struggles with the feelings that came with seeing him again -- especially when she's still been holding on to the pain from their breakup. But that doesn't mean she has no space in her heart for a lovely man. I hope you didn't think her feelings were too fickle, jumping from Soo Hyun to Min Ho. I'd like to think she's really moved on from Soo Hyun a long time ago, and she's had feelings for Min Ho for quite some time now, it's just that there hasn't been an opportunity for her to fully realize it.
What did you think about Shin Hye and Soo Hyun's conversation? Was that enough for them to really move past the breakup? I actually wanted their closure scene to be short since I didn't want angst galore (and Minshin fans might not like it too much hahahaha). At least they parted ways remembering the good times. And at least Shin Hye now knows that Soo Hyun really did care, and didn't want to hurt her.
What did you think about the last scene when Min Ho and Shin Hye finally got together? Was it okay? I just jumped to the cuteness right away since I really couldn't write anymore conflict. They want to jump each other, they should be able to jump each other just like that. HAHAHA.
Lastly: I realize that the same things that broke Soo Hyun and Shin Hye up can be the same problems that Min Ho and Shin Hye will encounter in their newfound relationship. There isn't really a difference between Soo Hyun and Min Ho in terms of popularity, so basically baby girl has got her plate full. LOL. But this time, Shin Hye is more mature, and she's gone through it once before. Let's just hope she and Min Ho stay strong to protect their relationship from their burgeoning careers (and I mean in real life. HAHAHAHA)
Thanks again for reading this story. I'm honestly proudest of this one to date. Just because I think I've learned so much from writing 'Could It Be... I Like You?' This whole writing fanfic thing has been a journey for me, and it's really amazing how many of you continue to support me with all your encouraging words! I think I might really consider writing for a living after I graduate. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
