As an actress, I need to have much experience. However, I become very defensive when someone confesses his...

Q. Is WGM scripted? We know many people doubt if WGM is real, but I can say for certain sure that it is not scripted. Of course, we have our cue sheet, but it only includes the time table. Q. Are you sure all the cast members of WGM don’t have their boyfriends and girlfriends in real life? When we cast them, we triple check if they have lovers in real life. We ask them questions such as “Do you have anyone you like these days?” “Do you think there is a possibility that you will become her boyfriend?” and “We heard that you are close with a famous idol. How are you and she related?” For example, we could cast a famous entertainer, but we had to except his name from the cast list because he said he was in love with someone. It was just one day before the first shooting began. Q. Are the cast members' emotions toward their partners real? There were some cast members who seemed to like their partners for real. What we hope is some of couples of WGM will fall in love and m...

Well, some of you may wonder if the couple's love for each other is real. Let's talk about the truth about “We Got Married.” Is WGM Scripted?
