Korean "Boys over Flowers". And "Mei-chan no Shitsuji"

I am staying away from the spoilers for the episodes 9 and 10 of "Boys over Flowers" (I know the main direction from previous versions) because I promised my daughter yesterday to watch them together when subtitles are out. Parental love is the strongest thing in the world.

Also - I am hugely obsessed with Mei-chan no Shitsuji (Mei-chan's butler). Why no-one is watching this??? It has a spunky spectacles-wearing girl with a dedicated super-butler caring for all her needs?????????????

The only version where I've loved Rui as much as Doumyouji was in the J-drama. I thought Oguri Shun was excellent in that. And hot, though only in the second season. It's probably been one of the few times where I've found orange hair attractive.

YESS! This is the version I meant too. As much as I like Vic Zhou, he was too limp as Lei (IMHO). Oguri Shun, on the other hand, does that introvert/cool as ice/mysterious/elegant thing to perfection. And because Japanese Tsukasa was sooooo ugly I just was rooting for Oguri Shun as Rui all the way, orange hair or not.

TOTALLY. And he had so much chemistry with everyone that I never minded it when he got in between the OTP.

He was THE OTP for me. :D
