alexandralI think I am in complete minority with Korean BoF.
- I still like it very much; this drama is not in my top 5 but definitely is in my top 10-15 Korean dramas.
- I am still shipping JanDi/JunPyo. Gosh, Lee Min Ho is so gorgeous I will ship him with anyone until the ends of time.
- I don't ship Jan Di / Ji Hoo at all. This is a surprise for me because I had a soft spot for Lei/Shankai when he made the Meteor Garden for her, I shipped Rui/Makino with quite an obsession (I confess I even cried a bit at the end :D) and I really like Ji Hoo himself. But there is something in him that makes me think I would prefer to ship him with a boy and that moment he had with Jun Pyo sleeping in his bed sealed it.
- I am quite glad that we got a different version of the story and it is a Korean drama through and through, with over-the-top angst, mopping and all such things .
+ The only thing that is bad for me in Korean Boys Over Flowers is the herouine. I don't know if the problem for me is in her constant mopping because Makino did a fair bit of mopping in Japanese version too. I think I just don't like Jan Di, I don't see why Ji Hoo and Jun Pyo should like her, etc. etc. Koo Hye Sun looks older than the rest of the cast, I am not fond of her acting and she has a haircut that should be strictly banned from hairdressing.
Below is my attemp at a purely scientific poll I tried to make to find out your preferences:

Date: 2009-03-10 06:25 pm (UTC)I haven't really tried that one - it seems that no-one liked it. I had few dramas that seemed to be too naive/boring from the beginning and I dropped them after 3-4 episodes.. like "Robbers" or "Romantic Princess".
