We Got Married (Korean: 우리 결혼했어요) is a popular reality South Korean variety show, one segment of the Sunday Sunday Night program. Aired in 2008, the show pairs up famous Korean celebrities to show what life would be like if they really married.[1] Each week, couples are assigned missions to complete. During the process, candid interviews of the participants reveal thoughts and feelings experienced.

The Presenters

The pilot episode that aired as a special on New Year's Day was hosted by Lee Hyuk-jae, Hyun Young and Oh Sang Jin. The first season, only Hyuk-jae remains as an original host. He is joined by Kim Won Hee, and Lee Hwi Jae for the first 8 episodes until Hwi Jae replaces Jung Hyung Don as one of the grooms in episode 9. Won Hee later leaves to film a movie after episode 12, and Park Myung Soo is then introduced as host in episode 13. After episode 17, Hwi Jae resumes his position as MC, and the latest addition of Kang Soo Jung, now the only female, brings a total of 5 hosts. Lee Hwi Jae officially left the show after Episode 30 in order to make time for other programs. In preparation for its new format as well as due to budget cuts, the MCs and live studio recordings were officially dropped after Episode 36.

In Season II, the format is changed with three permanent hosts Park Mi Sun, Jo Hyung Gi and Kim Na Young, and guest commentators from different age groups appearing every few weeks. The studio is replaced by a smaller room with no live audience where discussion is held on the progress of the marriages. As of Episode 78, host Jo Hyung Gi no longer appears on the show. In Episode 80 and 81 where the husbands and wives are separated into two groups, the couples watch the footage along with the hosts in the studio.

2008 Lunar New Year Special

This special pilot episode aired on February 6, 2008. The four arranged couples must prepare dinner with a fixed amount of money. Participants portray themselves as real couples purchasing groceries for dinner. Each couple arrives at different home to prepare supper and eat together. In between scenes, participants are interviewed about impressions of their partners. At the end of the episode, the MCs reveal whether your partner liked you as a "husband"/"wife" by giving an X or an O. Whomever received an X was pushed down the slide.

Couples

Season I

With a new format and slightly different couples, newlyweds are given a mission to complete each week. As during the special pilot episode, interviewed participants provide a unique perspective on the ongoing relationship conflicts and developments. All of the recorded material is then played in front of the participants, MCs, and audience who add commentary or clarification.

Beginning with a Lunar New Year's Special in 2009 with three new couples, a new format is introduced into the show, first forecasted through the addition of Kangin and Lee Yoon Ji. Each couple is given a concept to portray, in KangJi couple's case, a college couple living with a limited income. The show now consists of more special effects and editing in order to show each couple in a set atmosphere and theme.

Controversies

On August 19 2008, We Got Married was accused of plagiarism by a Korean media, stating that the basic concept and format of the show are somewhat similar to a Japanese variety called Koisuru Hanikami by TBS (Japan) in 2006. The PD has denied these allegations, saying they had not watched the Japanese show at all.

Dubbed Couple Names

Apart from the names given by the fans as abbreviations of their first names, a few of the couples earned unique nicknames that were officially used in the show.

Alex & Shin Ae:

  • 로맨틱커플 (Romantic couple) - Alex's romantic antics made them the first of the couples to become popular, even prompting their return to the show (the only couple to do so).

Crown J & In Young:

  • 개미커플 (Ant couple) - MC Kim Won Hee remarked in one of the earlier episodes of Crown J's resemblance to an ant because of his skinhead haircut.
  • A! couple - Crown J's famous inverted upside down "peace" sign and his exclamation of "A!" in their theme song Too Much.

Hyun Joong & Hwangbo:

  • 쌍추커플 (Lettuce couple) - Hyun Joong's continuous mispronunciation of 'lettuce' (sshangchu 쌍추 instead of sangchu 상추) on their honeymoon and throughout the series.

Hwanhee & Hwayobi:

  • Dog Poop couple - At the beach, Hwayobi steps on sand and insists that it was dog poop. An amused Hwanhee dubs her 'Dog Poop' as a term of endearment.

Marco & Dam Bi:

  • Killer couple - Due to Marco's limited Korean, in the first few episodes he repeatedly uses "killer!" to praise Dam Bi.
  • Tarzan & Jane couple - Spurred from Lee Hyuk Jae's comment about Marco's use of very short and simple Korean sentences in their first appearance, as well as his refined physique, hairstyle and love for bananas.

Kangin & Yoon Ji:

  • 도토리묵 부부 (Acorn Jelly couple) - After their first meeting while passing the Han River, Yoonji remarks how she has always thought the waves remind her of acorn jelly. Kangin says he has always thought the same, though to her disbelief. It is later revealed in a radio interview recorded before they met that he was telling the truth.

Jun Jin & Si Young:

  • Gundam couple - Si Young's favourite toy and television series that she enthusiastically collects and talks about, much to Jun Jin's disinterest.

UEE & Park Jae Jung

  • 캐러멜부부 (Caramel couple) - Dubbed after Jaejung gives Uee a caramel candy at their first meeting.

Jo Kwon & Ga-In

  • 아담부부 (Adam couple) - Dubbed by Jinwoon and Seulong, initially as "Adam-Eve couple" due to their mutual relationship inexperience, but changed to "Adam couple" due to their equally small appearances as well as being the youngest couple of the show ("Adam" is pronounced the same as the Korean term for "little/small").
