Fridaly pictures: Lee Min Ho!!!!!

[alexandral]

Lee Min Ho is the actor playing the main lead (Goo Joon Pyo) in the new Korean drama "Boys Before Flowers" . Which is kind of not so new because it is a 3rd (!!!) adaptation of the popular manga "Hana Yori Dango". There have been already 2 adaptations from Taiwan ("Meteor Garden", one of the first Asian dramas I watched. I keep strong feelings of great love for it) and Japan but it seems that the story never goes old because the new Korean version is hugely popular in Korea , among Internet-fans of Asian dramas and is actively subtitled by fans to 14 languages (including Russian). What is the key to so much success of this story? I honestly don't know! It is all about a strong poor girl taming a self-centered spoiled rich boy. Why not to love? I am afraid this manga is going to be adapted into a never-ending Western soap opera soon.

Especially when the Korean version of self-centered spoiled rich boy is played by Lee Min Ho. Korea is a country which seem to produce an exeptional amounts of good looking yong men and women. Only few and far between them are, however, good at acting. Lee Min Ho certainly is good.

With Joon Pyo's, crazy as the man himself, hair:

The character's hairstyle is totally ridiculous. :D

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Hee! The hair actually is one of the main jokes in the story. But yep, every time I see it a bit of me is dying laughing.

If you think this hair is bad, check out the hair of the same character in the Japanese version:

Heeeeee! Remember Dao Min Sai and his PINEAPPLE HAIR!!!

Ahahahahahaha. I so love it when they finally gave up and let Jerry Yan have his own, normal, awesome hair. In this one case, I am about as far from a purist as you can get. This is so much better:

That was well-appreciated!

When they had the straightening of the hair moment in one of the episodes I thought "YAY! They are going to go the Jerry Yan way". But it didn't last.

The funniest about DMS's hair was that he claimed his hair were un-tamable. BUT! They were tamed - by the power of love!

You know what's even funnier? In his segment of Meteor Rain, set a couple of years before MG1, he actually has his nice, post-change hair. LOL. I guess they just gave up the pineapple hair as too hideous, damn the continuity! :)

There are rumors that about midway, Jun Pyo is going to get a different hairstyle. I am all for it :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

OOOOOO! I welcome these rumours too! Something like this : http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o51/alexandraleaving/drama%20actors/lee%20min%20ho/lmh_1_1.jpg could be a nice look for Jun Pyo. I am terrible betrayer, I like Lee Min Ho's version more than Jerry's. He just breaks my heart every time he angsts.

[dianora77.livejournal.com]

OMG It's the Japanese Jonas brother! :P

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Close. He is in a boyband, called Arashi, where they sing (badly) and dance on rainbows. I am not making this up.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

And this is the Taiwanese version ** shudders **:

The actor is awfully pretty, though.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I highly approve of this post!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I hope you are back to shipping Jun Pyo and Jan Di. :D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I never really stopped even if Ji Hoo is freakishly pretty :)

I only wish I liked Jandi better - she is my least favorite of the three versions. *sigh*

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am not overly keen on her too, though Makino cried too much and had that mopping look too much. The weird thing is - I can't understand who Jan Di is yet. And may be the actress is a tad too old to play her.

Ji Hoo is pretty indeed,!

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

HELLOOOO GORGEOUS. I love him even with the ridiculous hair. I'm sick. The pretty is too much to handle.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

It is always better to share the sick . :D Me too. But they must be using bigudi on him. My brain shortcuts trying to imagine him like this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2259/2363191675_750ca536cb.jpg?v=0

[catdecember.livejournal.com]

i haven't gone past episode 1.... too busy! :( i'd love to watch the series, because Meteor Garden/HYD/BoF is just awesome... :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

WATCH IT. IT IS AWESOME. Lee Min Ho makes my favourite ever DMS. He is just THAT awesome.

[vierran45.livejournal.com]

Lovely post with lovely pictures, Tatiana :).

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you, dear! I am quite smitten by Lee Min ho, as you see. When an actor can act as well as is pretty! It is a nice combination.

[ficchica.livejournal.com]

I'm ashamed to admit I like the silly hair of JP. LMH is very pretty but oh so young. I feel like a pervert.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I know! They all are so young! I have resigned already to pure fictional attractions. :D I think you are right - LMH looks older with Jun Pyo's hair. without the hair he is like 12-year old.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

H! ** waves **

I am glad you enjoyed the pictures - he is so lovely indeed. My favourite Tsukasa. No-one can be better. :D

[mnemo-syne.livejournal.com]

I think he's absolutely wonderful, I LOVE him as Tsukasa!!! LOVE!!!! -spazz- He's so great at bringing that childlike aspect of him to life.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEE! YOU ARE WATCHING THIS!! I agree - he is good at child-like without looking unattractive. :D He is also so great at being intimidating leader. I can really see someone like him intimidating a whole school .:D And looking attractive whilst doing it.

[amvn.livejournal.com]

Holy smokes! He's like a clone of Takuya Kimura :D And very nice looking indeed!!!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

He does look a bit like Takuya, doesn't he!!! I just finished episodes 7 and 8 - oh, dear! he is so good at angst, I wish he suffered a bit more. :D

[hyperhippot.livejournal.com]

YUMMY! ^^

...but why on earth that sleevesless, flashy, silver... coatlike... THING is not under "Bad case of fashions" too??? EWW

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I like silver coatlike thingy ** hides ** Suits him. :D

[hyperhippot.livejournal.com]

XD Yep, everything coat-like suits him but... that sleeve's cut all way down to the waist puts in my mind the image of a 70's guy in rockys and sleevless sport tshirt and somehow I can't avoid Min Ho's face appear there, and suddently a sport white hairband is added around his head, and... AAAARGH!!!!
Beware of the silver coatlike thingy, it's dangerous!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I see! You have bad memories. :D

[miss-dian.livejournal.com]

I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS POST!! WHERE WAS I?? :D Thank you for this glorious post. I, too, am quite smitten by LMH. I mean, I don't even hate him after ep 13! It must be the influence of his gorgeousness in business suits (with stripes!) ^^;

My fave in this bunch is the second one from the top. And the least fave the last. Leave the white ensemble to Ji Hoo, please ;-)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Business suits with stripes are great! (And so are HATS!) That picture is my favourite too. :D

The white alien suit is totally thumbs down. :D

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

Well that was a highly pleasant post (came via dorama_chat, btw)! I might be in the minority here, but I actually really like Lee Min Ho with curly hair, far more than I like his straight hair.

Too bad I can't say the same for poor MatsuJun (in HYD), who’s hair was extremely ridiculous. Or Jerry! I am also glad they decided to let him have his normal hair (though it was kinda baffling how they just randomly let his hair go normal without any sort of warning or explanation!)

Random, but want to be friends? I'm as intensely obsessed with dramas as you could possibly be, and love to discuss them!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Let's be friends!!!

Or Jerry! I am also glad they decided to let him have his normal hair (though it was kinda baffling how they just randomly let his hair go normal without any sort of warning or explanation!)

That was the power of love, I think. ;D I have been obsessing over BOF for quite a while now, I think I am also ready to say that I LIKE Lee Min Hoon with the locks.

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

Yay!!

Hehe! Surely that is a better explanation than the hair people got tired of battling his pineapple head everyday! Yes, from now on, I will believe it was the power of love! :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I confess - I love Jerry's real hair the most out of all variations on Tsukasa's hair.

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

I don't blame you, Jerry's hair is amazingly lovely. I think Lee Min Ho's hair is my favorite, mostly because it IS curly. As glad as I am that they let Jerry have his natural hair, Domyoji NEEDS curly hair. It's so integral to him (bit of a manga purist).

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I have seen the previews for the ps. 15 and I LOVE Lee Min Hoo's hair there (and Kim Hyun Joong's too)

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

I kinda miss Lee Min Ho's REALLY curly hair. It's still curly, but less so. I have mixed feelings about Hyun Joong's hair. It's nice, but I like longer hair better. I DO like Kim Joon's hair though!
