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: 2009-03-11 10:39 pm (UTC)You absolutely listed all my thoughts about Hong Gil Dong. Plus I hated the nickname "stupid girl" and I also thought that it was a very poor scriptwriting to have such huge misdirection - the drama started happily at first and Emo Prince started as a good guy and even shielded Hong Gil Dong from an arrow but he ended as a terrible person and everyone ended dead. I don't really like bad endings and it was definitely not a drama that promised a bad ending from the very beginning. :P
I also love Jun Pyo to bits even though he is a confused jerk. Lee Min Ho's charm and acting skills are beyond amazing and if anything I would watch the show solely for his sake (although I do enjoy some other aspects of the drama). It's not going to be my favorite kdrama, but it's highly entertaining and I'm still liking it.
Again - I absolutely agree. Seeing that BoF is so popular and that the cast is so young I anticipate MANY MANY good dramas with Lee Min Hoo.
