Re: well, my thoughts - watch as I enter tldr mode D:
Boys Over Flowers is the English dub name =o because that's what Hana Yori Dango the J title means.pinkcandy wrote: And wait. Why is it BOYS before flowers? Isn't the concept supposed to be the other way around? I think the original idiom was food over boys, or something like that? Hence "real life necessities" over romance? Now it's reversed. >.>
I REALLY REALLY like the dynamic between Jun Pyo and Jan Di - It's just unfortunate that I'm paying more attention to that because the rest of the show's elements don't quite mesh as strongly. (Or maybe that's the point.)
The original saying says Dango (food) over Flower(pretty things), but the author changed Dango's kanji into meaning "boys".
Hope that's not too confusing DX google HYD's wiki if it is. ;;
---
I never liked Kdrama's pace since it's just too slow for me. ; but I try to give BBF benefit of doubt.
I love Jun Pyo in this. His acting is fantastic. It's quite cute watching him laughing to himself like an idiot.
Also don't mind Ji Hoon even though most seems to dislike him. I'm more convinced that he actually likes Jan Di than using her as a rebound like in other versions.
Jan Di though... My god. Try as I might, I just can't effin' like her. Damn. I adore her friend and pratcially everyone else in the drama BUT her. =w=;; I really do hope she doesn't put me off like Barbie did with MG. (hfdkjshfds yess. till this day, I still haven't watched it. ugh. stupid Barbie and her irritating family in the drama.) Somehow, she just magnified everything I hate about Tsukushi and more. I dot.
Love Yi Jung and Ga Eul <333 Love Jan Di's little brother. xDD
Oh. Forgot. I agree with someone that said they can't pull themselves out of other versions. I dunno why =/ I just keep comparing and I keep spotting similarities between this and the other versions.
Oh and. in the original manga, the protagonist of the story was SUPPOSE to be Rui. Apparently, Domyouji somehow manage to outshine Rui and stole the main focus AND Tsukushi from Rui. XDDD
Sad how most people love Rui so much (him being the Prince Charming and all) leading to high expectations and is often disappointed in the actors that potrays him. Anyways..I just hope Jan Di can make me like her somehow, and show me why the hell does these two guys likes her. Or I'm seriously going to chuck something ><; (since if I don't like the main character and/or doesn't get why everyone lovers her..well..I start hating it DX)

From what I know of the manga, wasn't there supposed to be another love triangle between Jan Di, Jun Pyo and a model guy (was played by Ikuta Toma on Jdorama version). I mean I want more love triangles. Sometimes that's what makes mangas so fun to read.
Enjoyed ep 9 and 10 very much. The show just keeps getting better and better.
The timeline is a little bit mixed around in the Korean version but:garnet07 wrote:From what I know of the manga, wasn't there supposed to be another love triangle between Jan Di, Jun Pyo and a model guy (was played by Ikuta Toma on Jdorama version).

i finally got to watch it until episode 8, (well at 1/8 of episode 8 since i'm putting this on hold for now, until i reach episode 15 and still giddy about the plot) i hate the part where Jun Pyu's (or Domyouji's) mother has to come in, so im putting it on hold.
my outtake on the drama as of now...
the harassment part was really bad... waaaaaayyyy bad and very violent. i can't believe that the girl could actually stand something like that. also... i don't think Jandi's lifestyle is very poor unlike the Japanese version. Makino, atleast was living in a small space and an almost rundown apartment, unlike Jandi. Have you guys noticed the HUGE difference? also i can't help comparing Jun Pyu's mother to Doumyouji and Dao Ming Ze's. why? i love how their mom's looked, at least they were sophisticated looking and pretty even though they were old. here in the Kversion the witch mom looked terrible. (sorry for her fans, no pun intended) for me she looked like a drag queen dressed to be rich. Being Jun Pyu's mom doesn't suit her at all.
on a side note: Jun Pyo looks so much like Jerry Yan!!! they're like one person split into two. the korean and taiwanese version of one person... or whatever you call it.
setting aside those details i just mentioned above, story line and drama so far... im still loving it. though it makes me cringe every time things get violent.

Hmm, is it just me but the title of this thread is kind of annoying. I mean Korean version of "Hana Yori Dango" should be it, since that's the original and not Meteor Garden. To this day, I still wonder how the Taiwanese converted HYD >> Meteor Garden. Is it the Chinese characters because I still don't get it?

did you watch the Taiwanese drama yet?
they adapted the story line but not entirely, because setting wise and even the actor's ages was changed. they were supposed to be in high school, but in meteor garden they were in college (university students) then there was that big deal about the meteor showers. that's where the "Saturn" necklace comes in too... so when you look at it, that's where the title centered in. blame the script writer for messing it up.
as for the title's thread, it should be Boys Over Flowers Korean version... but i'm not one to complain. i just love posting and reading stuff here. ^_^v
I am following boys before flowers mainly because i love hana yori dango. BBF has it's own strengths and weaknesses but lately, jan di is getting on my nerves .. hate to compare but she really comes out looking dumb which is totally different from makino ... did they downplay jan di's character to highlight f4? i could think of several actresses who could have portrayed jan di's part and portray it real good ... ji hoo, he is cute but he's too emotional ..almost gay if i may say so (observe footage by the beach, volleyball scenes, oh and let's not forget the part where he covered jun pyo with a blanket hehehe) .. jun pyo is good, however he doesn't look like a senior high school to me ... from my point of view, no chemistry between jan di and jun pyo... i find it ironic that it's the actors portraying secondary characters are the ones who fit their roles well -- Shizuka's counterpart, Domyuji's sister, Domyuji's mom ... perfect ... it's just frustrating coz bbf could have been totally good... not just another kdrama that everyone remembers because f4 guys are hot ... am crossing my fingers that ga eul and the other f4 guy will have a happy ending, their almost relationship is what makes bbf still worth watching .. am still hoping things will turn around for the better ..not losing hope .. 10 more episodes

I so do agree with you !!! So so cute.biniBningPunkista wrote:
The thing I think is weird with this Korean version is that feelings get more violent for me. I mean, I love HYD, you don't how much but the Korean version can make me hurt and feel thing deeper. I don't know if you see what I mean. hahaha
The sure thing is I'm totally addicted to the K version !!!
And about the eventually second season, I don't think it's possible, except if you go further because seeing how things are going on now.
To my mind this korean version is much better than the japanese version... Even though I loved HYD when I watched it.
This korean version shows more feelings and makes you love the characters more.
They become your "friends".
Somebody said that they can't understand why those guys like Jan Di so much... and that she is really annoying and stupid... Maybe it's just her pureness what attracts the rich guys. And she is not too pretty but she has a personal face.
Jan Di's family is awesome! The little bro is younger than in the japanese version, but he seems to be more mature. Or it might be just that he's all the time in front of the computer =P In general this version seems to be more mature than the japanese. but I think that
japanese version was more like a fairytale or a comedy. Even though this is the same story and I can't help comparing them, I've tried to approach this as a totally new story.
Ji Hoo is more loveable than Rui. well, I just didn't like the actor who played Rui. (sorry, I know he has a lot of fans.)
But I agree with biniBningPunkista that Jun Pyo's mom looks weird :S And F4 depicted her as the worst and most horrible woman in Korea but even though her make-up is terrible and scary, her face doesn't show any other feelings than maybe tireness.
I love Jan Di's friend, she's SO CUTE! ^^ If I could choose how I looked like, I'd definitely like to look like her~

HYD was more comedy like
So it think it's not really possible to say: this one is better or note..
The Korean Regisseur just did it in another way and that`s why i can't look at it without getting bored.
I love both versions and to me none of them is better or worse.
i watch until episode 10 so far....i like this series...
HYD, MG & BOF - all of them have their own strength...but to compare to HYD, i like the chemistry between JanDi & JoonPyo....
anyway...im not sure is this a correct place for me to ask, but do anyone know what is the song & singer for a song in this drama...that song played few times in this drama, singing by a boy groups i think....significant to be heard at the end of episode 9...when So Yi Jung (Kim Bum) met a women, Ga Eul crying & then Yi Jung talking to Ga Eul....please tell me if anyone know this song... i love it so much ;)

If it was Tsukushi (character) I would get why they like her. but not with Jan Di, because I still don't like her..;;~kani~ wrote:To my mind this korean version is much better than the japanese version... Even though I loved HYD when I watched it.

I am still thinking where the hell does she get so much money to buy all these clothes?
I like her brother too. he's adorable. but to say that this version is more mature, I would probably disagree. Because for the most important stuff, like how Jun Pyo changed, it feel like they tweaked the J-drama version, not hte manga version. and it irks me. It came off bit more random at the beginning till they show the clip of his father (and the argument with his mum.) I'm not sure about you, but I would be traumatised if someone frikkin' jumped in front of me. The guy isn't quite random, he made Doumyouji realised what he is responsible for.
I like shorter dramas so I find this draggy. (and I do like comedy more.) to each his/her own i guess.
I love Shigure. The fact that I don't feel for the main couple probably makes me want to see her more. -hides to avoid getting killed-
@skibblu
i am used to short dramas too(began with j-dramas) and i am asking myself often why taiwanese dramas often so long drawn and why the progess is so slow.. i really understand you.
however.. i like BOF and i don't mind the lenght.
I agree with you about the reason why Doumiyouji was so traumatized.. i like this reason more although i only think they overdid it a little. In the K-Version i had first this thougt:
About the clothing.. i asked myself often too.. she's poor so how can she have so many and so expensive clothes? I never thought that when watching HYD.
However.. about Jan Di.. i think i can understand why F4 likes her. She tamed Jun Pyo and she gave him.. mh.. calmness? And she disliked them all in the beginning and they became close(all of them) and trusting.They now she don't like them because of their money.
It's only the half yes.. in HYD you cold see their good relationship first in the second season.
Jun Pyo and Jan Di.. they are really not matching.. but for me- that makes it more interesting. They have a chemistry although they are really different.

In fairness to BBF, they've already mixed the first and second season of HYD in a series, so it's understandable that BBF will have 24 episodes. I think the draggy parts are the long unnecessary footage (e.g. Ji Hoo's emotional moments, Jan Di making food, Jan Di's at-a-loss moments). They're just probably milking it for what it's worth. Skkiblu, I agree with you that they have not developed the story in a way that friendship between Jan Di and the f4 to develop. They're kindda rushing it. Glad am not the only one disliking Koo Hye Sun for Jan Di's role. It's not Koo Hye Sun personally, it's not Jan Di's character. But Koo Hye Sun as Jan Di is not working. If there were no Meteor Garden and Hana Yori Dango prior to BBF, it would have been acceptable. Much as people would not like to compare, they eventually would. Barbie Xu as Shancai and Inoue Mao as Makino were really great. The lady playing the part of Ga Eul would have been a better Jan Di in my opinion. I still love BBF because it's still a Hana Yori Dango adaptation but instead of just enjoying it, there's a mild discomfort over Jan Di.
Ku Hye Sun as Jan Di needs t tone it down a bit, i think. She's a great actress, but just overdoes the whole commoner thing. But this arc required her to be more emotive and not cute, so i think it will work out.
I really want Ji Hoo to end up with someone, and I think that Jun Pyo's fiancee would be a good choice. I think that these two would really compliment each other...she being so bubbly and him so calm. It would be great if these got a sub storyline here....it would reduce the entire triangle drama b/w jan di jun pyo and Chae Kyong (is tht her name???)

Okay now for 16 okay I must say I wonder why they cut his hair???
I think looks better but that’s just me okay
But overall the stalking and everything was good actually I like the episode it was fun and very much enjoyable despite of what I juts said.
Oh on more thing when KHJ sang over the ss501 song in the mall that was so nice
but now I realize that is what they are using instead of the original (the one the other three members did )

I honestly don't recall what was the original (I watch the anime, the manga was too long so i didn't read it) But the reason i'm wtfing is k version is screaming "I'M A COPY OF J version!" (with the sudden change of attitude)
I think someone pointed it out that Tsukushi only have her school uniform and one other outfit or something. Is it just me or is Ga Eul's clothes looks more toned down and fits her character? (at least I don't have the urge to say "OMG I wish I have money to buy her clothes" T_T which is just illogical considering who she is..)
mhmm. the thing is. I feel like Jun Pyo likes her because she's different from everyone else and it's fun to pick on her. Can you hep me find where Jan Di shows her love towards Jun Pyo? (and I'm still trying to find her "weed"ness. or maybe that wasn't suppose to be a focus here? )

Yes it is, and this IS the style of K-drama. Blame HYD for being so damn compacted and so short XDD (I watched them as they come out. and even if you combine them, it's 20 eps + 2 hour special + movie, which is still half the time of K-drama, and I can still finish it it in a day ) I'm strange.Leyram wrote:In fairness to BBF, they've already mixed the first and second season of HYD in a series, so it's understandable that BBF will have 24 episodes.

I uh. didn't like Barbie either. I haven't settle down and actually watch MG properly. I've tried multiple times and got annoyed at a) Barbie b) her parents c)..well..it WAS made a while ago. d)...the hype.
I'm very weird and can't love something if I dislike the main character. ~___~;;; I'm watching it just so I can say I watch it. I find myself getting distracted during the drmaa and thinking "when does this end again..?" >>;;;;

I love the fiancee! Anyone that can spell her name out for me would be good~ She's even more adorable than Shigure! Though she does seems rather clueless..@W@
I wish there's someone for Ji Hoon too, but I'm not sure if she's the right person..
and. is it just me or did f3 all change their hairstyles? it's weirding me out.

about ep 16. who else is super happy about
Jan Di's
@skkiblu
Yeah, shigeru's counterpart was hella pretty .. but i think the producers are trying to tone her down .. they probably don't want her to overshadow Jan Di (which is really not that hard to do, i mean, Ga Eul alone can do that).
Such intense competition between jun pyo and ji hoo over jan di, yet i don't feel that the series has already established a positive effect of jan di on jun yo and ji hoo and the rest of the F4. From what I've seen so far, Jan Di's just an overrated nuisance on the F4. Just an awkward damsel in distress most of the time. Can't find Makino's strength in her character to make her gain their respect. In my opinion, at episode 16 .. Boys Before Flowers is just a hastily concocted adaptation of Hana Yori Dango who's banking mainly on the pretty faces of F4 and mixing and matching twists from Meteor Garden and Hana Yori live action. Some segments are too exaggerated it's an overkill. Spare us if this series will still have a second season.

I agree with you Leyram. HYD is my favorite shodjo manga because Makino is a rare example of strong and smart girl. But in this version they turned her into a damsel in distress. And that's just one of many other problems I have with this drama. But I'm going to wait until the end before I comment further....

OMG I AM LOVING THIS DRAMA!!! LEE MIN HO IS SUPER CUTE AND HOT.....but one thing i dont get is many people arel saying that Goo Hye Sun is just a average looking girl and not as pretty as Makino and barbie..however i totally think the opposite...I think she is very pretty!! she has that sweet and natural look and a cute smile!!! if thats what a average girl looks liek then i guess i am super ugly cuz, i concider my self an average looking girl!!

Koo Hye Sun is not ugly, in fact she is quite pretty. She may be a good actress at some point, however, her portrayal of Jan Di who is supposed to be Makino Tsukushi in the Hana Yori Dango series is NOT at all working. Makino is a strong character. She's pretty much a kick-ass lady who knows what she wants and has an ambition in life. Koo Hye Sun as Jan Di comes out looking dumb most of the time. Quite unsure of herself and what she wants. Just an awkward damsel in distress. This is quite irritating for us who have followed and loved the Hana Yori Dango series. I for one can't figure out what type of series BBF is trying to create. Comedy? not quite. Drama? eerr.... Agreeably, the Korean F4 cast are pretty faces. It's quite obvious that the producers of BBF put a major effort into creating a "hot" F4. Unfortunately it seems, that's the only thing they're delivering at this point. Hot F4 and nothing else. Don't get me wrong. BBF could have been a wonderful series. But at this point, Jan Di is one of the major let-downs of the show. (There are more, mind you. But I think Jan Di takes up the majority of the "disappointment" percentage of BBF ) This is quite ironic since she is supposed to be the heroine of the series. How I wish it was Moon Geun Young or Yoon Eun Hye who played the role of Jan Di. Then BBF would have given Hana Yori Dango live action a run for their money.
Yoon Eun Hye.. good idea^^ but i don't really think it's because of Koo Hye Sun.Leyram wrote: How I wish it was Moon Geun Young or Yoon Eun Hye who played the role of Jan Di. .
I have to admit.. as i was watching BOF i often thought "whoa..she's pretty" but in the next scene i thought "she isn`t pretty at all".. i think that's because in every scene i thoght she isn't pretty she had braids. You know? Hair Style makes the face. But i think they did this on purpose, so Jan Di could look more poor, mean or rough. But in fact this "Makino" don't look strong at all.
Of course, when you look at HYD - I never thought Makino was a beauty. But on the other hand: Inoue Mao is a beauty too. It was the same with Barbie Xu as Shancai - but Barbie is a beauty too.I think they did the same with Jian DI. I'm not disappointed anymore in the Jian Di character I've grown to like her.
Man, don't hate on GHS.. she's just following the PD's instructions. I don't think she's pretty too lol. Anyway I'm quite disappointed the show is going in this direction, hopefully it picks up, although there's like 8 eps before it ends. I wonder how they're gonna wrap it up with so many loose ends and side plots being introduced.
At the beginning I didn't like her but step by step I happen to appreciate her so it's ok. She's cute but the problem is the haircut for sure, well physically.
Then, it's true that the strong character that caracterized the Makino of HYD is quite absent, I mean she's strong, she stood up against Joon Pyo bullying but other than that she has only decided recently about her career. In the japanese version, Makino knew from the beginning she wanted to be a lawyer.
Event though, I'm not disappointed, the F4 and Jan Di are perfect for me.
But, one question, there are 8 ep left. Do you guys think Joon Pyo's mother is going to try to challenge their love's strength ? I wonder how it's going to end... I wish they'd do a projection in the future! lol

I hope his mother will... think about it. It would be unacceptable for me if she would "accept" her or rather shut her mouth without testing same.. maybe he he'll lose his memory here too and his mother will see the love or something like that. I think the last 8 episodes will be interesting.LilyJade wrote:

One thing that interesting too is the suffering from Ji Hoon... let`s look forward to how it's going to end.
Do you think his amnesia is going to be inserted in the plot ? In the Japanese version, it happened just before Makino got lost in the snowy mountain.Jazzl wrote: maybe he he'll lose his memory here too and his mother will see the love or something like that.
I think it's going to be skipped because of that, furthermore, all the characters directly in touch with the F4 and Jan Di (see the correlation chart : http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Image:BOF_cor ... _chart.jpg) have appeared...
But I may be wrong! ^^
no, you could e right, i know that this part in HYH happened before the snowy thing.LilyJade wrote:Do you think his amnesia is going to be inserted in the plot ?

But it`s a hope of mine. To be true: it's one of my favourite parts in HYD
i would be a little sad if they skip it... anyway i'm curious how the story there is going on
there has been MG, and there's been HYD, but BBF, does not dissapoint me at all
I really really love this series, how the story develops
at first I thought it's gonna be just pretty faces, but it turns out to be way better than I've expected
the bullying is more realistic it hurts me
though Ep. 13 onwards, it's kinda dragging
and GJP, ahhhh... so handsome, so hot
I love how he shows his feelings to JD
I wish JD can show more love towards him, rather than shouts all the time

It's not my favorite part but it's a good one for sure. I know that if they don't skip it I will definitely be really hurt by their performance. The cast is so good at acting! I'll end up with tissues everywhere! lolJazzl wrote:no, you could e right, i know that this part in HYH happened before the snowy thing.LilyJade wrote:Do you think his amnesia is going to be inserted in the plot ?

This week is an exception, only ep 17 will be aired and it's for tonight.radee14 wrote:hmmmm...just wondering, isnt it the show suppose to be aired monday and tuesday? how come..i cant find the Ep.17 yet? hope someone can answer me. .
Yesterday there was just some previews, extracts and NG.
The reason to that is the actress who plays Jan Di is still weak from her accident. Everything's going back to normal next week. No worries. ^^

Kim Bun had 2 in a row.
Lee Min Ho had won 3 years ago and now again?
