The Supporting Couple in ‘Descendants of The Sun’ and ‘Fight for My Way’, Jae Hong and Ha Yoon
During this time, supporting couples have the duty to help the main pairing characters in the drama. Oftenly, the supporting couples are used as a sweetener to add to the excitement of the story. But KBS drama makes another point of the supporting couple, usually known as a supporting role, by giving a strong story like the main couple.
The story of Kim Joo Man (Ahn Jae Hong) and Baek Sul Hee (Song Ha Yoon) in KBS drama ‘Fight for My Way’ was well received just like the main pairing, Go Dong Man (Park Seo Joon) and Choi Ae Ra ( Kim Ji Won). In the drama ‘Fight for My Way’, the couple who has been in a relationship for 6 years began to change because of boredom and other conflicts that are shown in a way that is realistic and give sympathy. Two people who look to support each other and love each other, but Kim Joo Man’s heart falters with the presence of Jang Ye Jin, this causes a breakup with Baek Sul Hee. The condition of the two people who suffered from a separation gives a sense of sensitivity to those who share the same fate.
Viewers give their sympathy to the story of Kim Joo Man and Baek Sul Hee. They empathized with friends who later became a couple like their previous story. The main pairing, Go Dong Man and Choi Ae Ra always have a fantasy of ‘the friends who become lovers kind of romance’ and this change will be another point to watch.
Before ‘Fight for My Way’ there is a drama that shows another interesting supporting couple. The drama is ‘Descendant of the Sun’ which gets the attention of the viewers. The story of Yoo Si Jin (Song Joong Ki) and Kang Mo Yeon (Song Hye Kyo) and Yoon Myung Joo (Kim Ji Won) and Seo Dae Young (Jin Goo) in the drama ‘Descendant of the Sun’ gained the attention of viewers.
If Yoo Si Jin and Kang Mo Yeon describe the couple that became a fantasy and we dream from the beginning, then Yoon Myung Joo and Seo Dae Young represent a more realistic partner. Viewers come to feel the love story of the two and supported them as much as they support the main couple.
The main couple of KBS drama portrays a fantasy while the supporters show more realistic things. This provides the power to attract the sympathy of viewers who are concerned with reality.
