@Pammoe:
I have my own list of quite intriguing coincidences with Heartstrings storyline and Geun Seuk and Shin Hye...
1. The name of the leading male character is YI (Lee is pronounced that way) SHIN. Note how similar
to SHIN HYE... female lead name is GYU WON. Note that somehow the first syllable is like GEU (N) as in Geun Seuk.
2. And as pointed out earlier..the situation of Shin and Gyu Won in ep. 11 is similar to Shin Hye's tweet bout believing in her
when she was filming in Taiwan...so I agree with Pam's idea that maybe someone did try to stop her from doing
Hayate... I think what she also tweeted about her mom crying "if you leave, who shall be responsible" is somehow
related to that... I'd like to believe that it was Sukkie who tried to stop her (prolly after sensing that George dear is
attracted to her lol!)
3. Can't help but wonder how strongly related is the theme of Heartstrings to the previous dramas/films of Sukkie which
were music/dance-related... Happy Life-he played a guitarist (Shin); Beethoven Virus-was about a group of talented but
outcast musicians (Windflower/traditional music dept.); MMM-he played a popular indie singer being swooned by fans (Shin);
in Hwang Jini, traditional music, arts and dance were somehow showcased (gayageum, traditional instruments, Gyu Won's
grandfather); and in YMP, he plays a ballerino (Prof. Jung is a ballet dancer) and of course, in YAB-they were in a band/
idol group (The Stupid Band has exactly the same number of bandmembers)...plus he also did musicals after Non-Stop
(Gyu Won's school is producing a musical).
4. There were rumors before that the writer of HS was changed...in fact, their director was rumored to have switched
roles (from director to writer) but they denied this... Remember how Suk "re-wrote" the last episode of MMM coz they
fired the writer? And if we are correct that he is involved with HS...Could it be that Sukkie this time around did the
same thing? That is play the role of a writer? Or did the writer of HS just used his (love)life as an inspiration for the storyline?
Hmmm...well, my ideas maybe wrong...but really, it makes one think..such beautiful coincidences....
