[Discussion] Boys Before Flowers

We realised that there is no thread for this drama *gasp* whether you hate it or love it it should definitely have a thread so here it is!

Here are the F4 in all their *cough* glory.



"Hardworking Geum Jan Di attends the exclusive Shinhwa High School by a scholarship she gets because of an incident. She finds her shallow, privileged classmates unbearable, especially the notorious F4. Rich, handsome, and arrogant, Goo Jun Pyo, Yoon Ji Hoo, So Yi Jung, and Song Woo Bin are the kings of the school and no one, not even the teachers, dare challenge them. No one, that is, except Jan Di. Angry at their rudeness, Jan Di tells off F4 leader Jun Pyo, bringing a world of trouble upon herself. Although Jun Pyo persists on bullying her, he begins to find himself attracted to Jan Di."

Although I did love the soundtrack for this drama, aside from the terrible "Almost Paraaaaaaaaadise" song

I liked KHJ better too....Jijijiji..

Oh my goooose, sometimes when KHJ goes on shows they still play the song. I'm sure he's as sick of it as we are...LOL

I love this one

hahaha Didn't like that song either. I remember loving the first few episodes of this drama, but then I just couldn't get past the other episodes. I tried so hard! Eventually, you just gotta move on lol I'm sure I shall survive not finishing this one. XD

Omo, crazy, you've stolen my words from my... fingers and expressed my sentiments exactly.

I gave it a 7 though, because despite all its faults, this drama managed to entertain me for the duration of long 25 episodes, which isn't that little. And although I loved the japanese HYD 1, I thought the second season was a wreck - not to mention the movie, which caused me a serious attack of caries. Saving grace Shota-kun and his great character.

Here, as hard as it is to admit, I endured thanks to Kim Hyun Joong. Although he's not a good actor by any possible criteria, he has this incredible screen presence which I am drawn to. And because the acting of the others wasn't that stellar either, his wooden ways could be easily overlooked. Needless to say, I hoped till the very end that Jan Di would end up with Ji Hoo, although I seriously wonder why, since the girl was downright annoying. Hurrah Makino all the way!!

The paradise song... oh dear. I can easily imagine North Korean using it on prisoners to force them to confess. :P

Haha I originally gave BOF a higher score...but after a while I lowered my score because it didn't leave me with a good impression. And haha I liked the Japanese version, both seasons - the movie was just okay though, I only liked the part with the wedding. I loved the manga, though, and the Korean version is really far off from it so it was disappointing to me, haha. At least the Jversion stuck close to the manga, even if there were parts that were done differently or a bit exaggerated. Meteor Garden (season 1) was the closest overall, with the exception of a few scenes done differently and the way it ended.

And I do have to agree with that. And also Jan Di had a lot better chemistry with him than she did with LMH, in my opinion. It looked like she had more fun with him in her scenes and they showed a lot of scenes with the two of them, just as many (if not more) than they showed with her and LMH. And she was really annoying =__= I think it's more the actress than anything else, I started Absolute Boyfriend and Jiro (and the other guy) are the only reasons why I'm not dropping it, haha.

And LOL that would be torture!
