December 2015 - Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol wrote comments on each other's Instagram posts, Ryu Jun Yeol uploads a photo of him and Hyeri
Definitely an interaction we didn't expect but we truly love! On December 17, Jun Yeol posted a photo of him from a magazine shoot, and Hyeri made fun of it by saying "Who is this?" in the comments section. LOL!
Jun Yeol didn't waste a chance to do the same on Hyeri's Instagram post, where she channeled her inner Audrey Hepburn! He also wrote another comment on Hyeri's photo and said: "Ah~ Duk Sun~." Yieeeee, diyan 'yan nagsisimula!
In the same month, Jun Yeol took to Instagram and uploaded a Reply 1988 still with the caption: "Dear Deok Sun." *coughs*
January 2016 - Reply 1988 airs its final episode, Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol shares photos with the cast members
Reply 1988 may have already ended but not our kilig for the two! On January 10, Jun Yeol shared a photo of the Ssangmundong Squad and said "We loved, love, and will love each other.” Noted, Jun Yeol! ;)
Hyeri also took to Instagram and posted pics with her co-stars, and one of them was with Jun Yeol. Her caption reads: "Now it’s goodbye...Kim Jung Hwan.”
Fans of the two were *really* blessed this month because Jun Yeol mentioned Hyeri during a V app broadcast! He said that she cried buckets when they were filming episode 18 of Reply 1988, aka the unforgettable confession scene. "While she was preparing to act as Deok Sun, she also personally felt like she was saying goodbye to Jung Hwan. She probably felt like she wouldn’t be able to interact with Jung Hwan in the future, and she cried a lot because of it. She cried to the point where we weren’t able to continue filming.” Awww! :(
If you think the kilig stops there, Jun Yeol gave us another nakakalokang revelation! In an episode of Entertainment Weekly, the host asked him which actress she'd like to work with in the future. Jun Yeol responded with..."One more with Hyeri." *types random letters because of too much feels* He explained that he was heartbroken in his role as Jung Hwan, and he would like to be "confident this time." *SCREAMS LOUDER THAN I SHOULD*

BUT, he recommends Bo Gum to appear in We Got Married with her because he thinks "many people are curious what their married life would be like, anyway" (a reference to Reply 1988's ending). Taek and Deok Sun stans, please all rise!

Our Hyeri sat down as a guest in Happy Together 3 and she was thankful to Jun Yeol for helping her in a specific scene. “I was worried if the viewers would be as sad as I would be during the crying scene, so I was wondering if I could get any tips or know-hows. So I called Ryu Jun Yeol two days before the shoot. We weren’t that close back then so I had to pick up the courage to call him. I asked if he could come out to the office and he came gladly without hesitation. He taught me the best." Let me repeat, Jun Yeol VISITED HYERI WITHOUT ANY HESITATION TO HELP HER. Omo!
