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:

no matter how much i love domyouji x makino, i cried so hard because of rui in hanadan 2. gah. rui x makino looked good together too!

but MG holds a very special place in my heart (first asian drama I've ever watched :P) so I consider it as my favorite ♥

Me tooooooooo! He was just perfect and in general, in any version, Rui seems to me as someone who can make a girl happy.

Meteor Garden was my second drama! I also have a very ery special place for it in my heart. Also I love love love Shancai, she is the strongest version of Makino IMHO.

I think so too! Rui can DEFINITELY make any girl happy :)

Aww, I LOVE Shan Cai. (and I think i'm one of Barbie Xu's biggest fans :P) Makino is cute but Shan Cai is waaaay stronger. I love everything about her, and her character is consistent from start to end :)

I love the way she has more screen time and more storylines in "Meteor GArden". It is a bit clearer why everyone falls in love with her- she is shown to be such a good friend!!!

I think I should watch BOF too so I can compare ! :)

Also - YOUR ICCON!! **squeeeeeeeee**

thanks! I'm a big fan of Hotaru no Hikari. And I ship those two like crazy ♥

I am more of Manager/Hotaru shipper, but "Hotaru no Hikari" is definitely a drama with a strong second ship..
