thoughts on Ginny and Harry as a couple?
There are a lot of people who find their romance in HBP forced. I don't think it's forced so much as underwritten, and the books don't get the chemistry quite right (though the movies certainly don't, either). There's potential, but they just don't get enough actual scenes of substance (besides Harry thinking she's pretty or feeling jealous of Dean) for a lot of readers to buy that they're not only in love, but deeply enough in love to break up, get back together, and wind up married.
That's not to say I don't see the appeal. There's a very cool scene in Book 5 where Harry's doing a woe-is-me-Chosen-One act, and Ginny effortlessly puts him in his place about it by reminding him that she was possessed by Voldemort at eleven, which is a rare glimpse into her character and also a great synecdoche for their relationship — Ginny is a grounding presence who, like Ron and Hermione, isn't going to be awed by his past adventures because she knew him before they happened. In that respect, Ginny's probably one of the few women Harry could feasibly wind up with, because he only ever seems comfortable around people (let alone girls) who can see past the Chosen-One schtick and treat him like a normo (see: Ron, Hermione, the Weasleys, Luna, Hagrid). True to type, he doesn't get interested in Ginny at all until she's ditched her celebrity crush and ceased to view him as an idol, because in his heart of hearts, Harry wants to be a normal boy, and it's stressed over and over that part of what he likes about his relationship with Ginny is how normal it feels. He kind of has a horribly supercharged version the celebrity dating problem: after the Battle of Hogwarts, anyone he meets is going to know him first as Harry Potter, Chosen One, Boy Who Lived, and Actually Fucking Resurrected Messiah of the Wizarding World, which is... I mean, it's possible that there are witches out there who could get over that, but Harry's not an extroverted guy, and I'm not sure how he'd go about finding them. Ginny's the one who's been there since the beginning, doesn't need anything about him or his past explained to her, and actually likes him for who he is.
When you look at it that way, it's not surprising he married his high school girlfriend. She's one of the few people still alive who doesn't see him as a demigod.

Not to be fujoshi coded but m/m/f rlly is the superior form of ot3 bc it forces the men to get fruity with it and also bc women deserve 2 bfs. when it's f/f/m i just want that man out of there. it gives mormon. besides show me a man that deserves 2 gfs. you can't.

There is something about the thought of Yo Han having a niche passion. Or maybe not niche, more unexpected.
It could be anything. Crochet, Swedish blown glass, 18 century love charades, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Really anything.
But it's something that Ga On does not know about him, yet.
And maybe it's one day when he is talking to Elijah about what she is gifting Yo Han, and mentions a book about X or tip tap shoes or whatever and Ga On is like?? Sure everything that Elijah gives is a prescius present for her uncle but ???
No, no, Yo Han is really into this thing. She always gets him something related as she knows she cannot be wrong with it.
And Ga On really didn't see this coming.
And he loves Yo Han a little bit more now. Because it's dorky and personal.
