Review: We Got Married Global Episode 2- Home Sweet Homes

After a short week away from each other, the global couples meet up to check out their new homes where they will be living together while they are "married". (Note that they haven't gone through a ceremony yet, so they aren't "married" yet.)

At Home- Hongki and Mina

Taecyeon and Gui Gui fool around on the piano playing "Heart and Soul".

Their home is a two story condo equipped with a stage, skull designed accessories and a unicycle that Mina demonstrated to Hong Ki. Not to be upstaged (because he's so competitive), Hong Ki shows that he can be good at something too, like spinning a tray. Mina countered with a toy (not sure what it's called exactly) where you try to catch a ball on a string into a little cup. 


The stage was to represent a neutral zone where one would be able to talk freely to the other person and let out any grievances.


Their bedroom is a cute size, but it was empty. Hong Ki explained that he wanted to decorate it together, but Mina was clearly expecting it to be furnished.


They later take out little albums they have brought along of themselves. It is cute to see how little Mina had changed over the years. Hong Ki likened her face to that of a chipmunk. Hong Ki shared family photos and a photo of himself when he had done Taekwando.

They each shared little things they have brought to help warm up the house. Mina brought her little dolls she had handcrafted herself. Hong Ki had brought all the important trophies he and FT Island have won over the years along with a suitcase full of shoes, and clothing that looked more appropriate for appearances than everyday wear. He also brought his favorite energy drink so Mina could try it, but it didn't seem she took it very well.



At Home- Taecyeon and Gui Gui
Taecyeon and Gui Gui arrived at their home full of expectation. Gui Gui asked Taecyeon to carry her like they do in the dramas to the bedroom. (Awkward!) There she asked Taecyeon to join her on the bed. And after a lot of hesitation, he did. Both went through a photo shoot of sorts to fulfill popular romantic scenes from dramas.


They continued their photo shoot downstairs and even managed to get outside to play in the snow. Without any protective layering. Yes, I know. Crazy.


Once back inside, they opened up their suitcases and began to share what each brought to warm up their home.


Gui Gui brought some goodies/snacks from Taiwan for Taecyeon to try. (He politely refused since he wasn't that hungry yet.) She also brought couple aprons, which was very cute. One was a Wonder Woman design and the other Superman. She asked that Taecyeon use the Wonder Woman one, but he wasn't having any of it, so they switched. And finally, she brought out her pajamas of her favorite character from Toy Story. (I still do not know who it is, but it's the blue and green alien one.) And she made them wear the pajamas. LOL, this was a must see!


Taecyeon shared his toys that he turns to when he gets super stressed. These aren't actually toys, but they're collectible models that you put together. They were models of robotic planes from Gundam (at least that's what it looked like to me). And no, I didn't mean Gangnam. As Gui Gui had been marveling at these models, she accidentally broke a limb off of one, twice. Oh the look of horror on Taecyeon's face when he saw that! He looked like he was going to have a meltdown! Eventually though, he did calm down and managed to put the models on the side. But not before he told the crew to keep an eye on them. =)

Thoughts: It was interesting to see the difference in layouts for the two homes. Hong Ki and Mina's were two stories, with the bedroom and kitchen right next to each other. Whereas Taecyeon and Gui Gui's home, although also two stories, the bedroom was upstairs. That's a lot of carrying to do! 

Hong Ki and Mina's home feels more like a home fitting a bachelor like Hong Ki. It was very entertainment centered. I didn't get any girly touches at all in there, which I for one would have liked if I were Mina. You could tell that she was disappointed that the room was empty.

I absolutely love the piano in Taecyeon and Gui Gui's home. I always dreamed of having a keyboard as big as that. It looks so much fun to play! And the living room was right next to the yard where they could see the falling snow. I wouldn't have wanted to play out there in the cold, but oh well.

Hong Ki and Mina's photos from their school days are so cute. Mina really does look the same, whereas Hong Ki...well...he did look a little chubbier back then. But he looked more normal back then. Less like the "fashionista" he is now.

Taecyeon and his models. Wow. I never would have thought. I was surprised, yet found it endearing, despite my first thought of "isn't he too old to be doing models?". And Gui Gui and her alien pajamas! OMG! The fact that they even sell pajamas in a size for adults is absolutely hilarious. Poor Taecyeon! After the shoes, the hot chocolate, the igloo, the bridal carry and "oppa's", I can already see that he is in for a rough time. My heart goes out to him.

Aliens? Really?
