Korean Boys Over Flowers + the Poll!!!

[alexandral]

I 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:

I think Barbie is a decent actress, and certainly much better than, say, Rainie Yang (who always strikes me as likable, but relying entirely on cuteness) or, frankly, any of F4, but she never seems to quite care about her roles.

I agree, Barbie is a fairly good actress (her role in Mars proved that to me), but she just gives me a relatively cold feeling.

she never seems to quite care about her roles.

that's one of the reasons why i really like her :) have you seen silk? they made her put some horrible makeup on to make her look um, dead and scary and she doesn't seem to mind.

I haven't seen Silk. I actually don't mesh too well with twdramas, it seems. As far as Barbie goes, I find it hard to be interested in something when the person playing the character I'm supposed to care about doesn't seem to care about the character, the product, or the audience.
