Gary and Ji Hyo are the longest-running reality show couple, and their fans call them the Monday Couple. They wish to see them hook up in real life, and Ji Hyo becoming reel-wife of another celebrity and not Gary has disappointed them.

One netizen was quoted by Korea Boo saying "... I guess it was all just business between Gary and her [Ji Hyo]."

Another netizen wished to see the Monday couple on "We Got Married" and not see Ji Hyo in a 'fake marriage' in China, while one Netizen wondered why Gary was not roped in.     

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Ji Hyo and Bo Lin will begin filming for Season 2 of "We Are in Love" in Seoul later this month. It will be a pre-produced series as all the episodes will be filmed in advance.

The first season of "We Are in Love" featured Choi Siwon and Liu Wen. It raked in high ratings in its time slot in China.

"We Are in Love" Season 2 is scheduled to premiere in mid-April in China.
