꽃보다 남자

Yay!~~ Finally managed to finish watching the full Boys Over Flowers drama!!ㅋㅋㅋ
I know it's a bit late since the drama came out last year, but I've only just managed to find a good site that has all the episodes, w/eng subtitlesㅋㅋ

The usual site that I use "My Soju" (I know.. It's a Korean alcoholic beverageㅋㅋ), had all the episodes up to 23, after episode 23 they didn't work, which meant my 2nd option was to search on Youtube. I managed to find the remaining episodes, except the last one >__< episode 25!~
I was guttered that I couldn't find it. I mean, what's the point of watching this drama (which is such a huge craze in Korea, and I enjoyed it a lot) and giving up on the very last episode??ㅋㅋ
So I searched and searched for the last episode and I somehow ended up clinking on the wrong link which sent me to a 'Boys Over Flowers' video...except it was the anime version >__<""
I looked once more on Youtube for the final episode and came across some girl who had named her own video 'Boys Over Flowers Episode 25! Eng Subs!', and all I ended up watching was her and her friends playing around... ㅡ.ㅡ Who really does that..? Posts a video of you and your friends being idiots..and then names it after 'Boys Over Flowers Episode 25'!? Giving hopeful, searching fans false hope.. ㅋㅋㅋ
Anyway I managed to find the last episode (thank you Google! - I don't know why Google wasn't my first option, ㅡ.ㅡ") and only just finished it now!ㅋㅋㅋ
All the searching and frustration at not finding the last episode was worth it!ㅋㅋ I literally cried on the last episode!ㅋㅋ It made me so happy to see Gu Jun Pyo (구준표) finally remember Geum Jan Di (금잔디)!!ㅋㅋ I took her nearly drowning, but it worked in the endㅋㅋ
I have to say this though.. the end was totally predictableㅎㅎ Geum Jandi and Gu Junpyo 'marrying' (is that even a word??ㅋㅋ). I have to admit I felt a little bit sorry for JiHoo (지후), always having to step aside so Jandi and Junpyo can have a chance, but then they end up apart, and then back togetherㅋㅋ It's so sad..

I remember watching KBS on telly one day, bored out of my mind, and a trailer for a new drama came on (Irisㅋㅋ), which reminded me of my friend saying that Korean dramas are really good, so out of boredom I searched on Google the usual; "Free online Korean dramas" (ㅋㅋ) and it came up with the site 'MySoju'. Clicked the link and was welcomed by a homepage with a list of Korean/Chinese/Japanese dramas. Since I don't understand Chinese OR Japanese, I clicked Korean dramas...
The list was huge!~ ㅋㅋ I wasn't literally planning on finding Boys Over Flowers. I was just surfing through the list and it popped out. I then remembered my Korean friend saying that the drama was really good and that it's a huge hit in Korea. So I clicked on episode 1 and was instantly hooked to it!ㅋㅋㅋ
It took me awhile to remember the names of all the characters (since I'm really bad at remembering Korean names it took me until episode 13 to remember most of themㅋㅋ I still can't remember one of the F4's names >__<") but the two that really stuck was; 금잔디 and 구준표. Surprise, surprise... the two main charactersㅋㅋ

Some parts in the drama really bored me to pieces and sometime tempted me to click a couple of minutes ahead. But because I'm too scared that I'll miss a little detail or hint as to why someone did something, I kept watchingㅋㅋ
The guy at the start?? The one that tried to commit suicide.. when he reappeared, it took me quite awhile to realize where I'd seen him fromㅋㅋ I was siting there thinking.. "Is he a famous uhljjang??" "No.." (I missed quite a bit of his scenes while doing this thinking) "Maybe an actor and I've seen him on an ad on KBS?" (you never know, there's heaps of Korean Idols doing things for ads as simple as pizzaㅋㅋ) "No, no I would've clicked straight away.." "Ah! A singer in a boy band! That's it, I've seen him from there, he's in that big boy band...that's why I can't really remember him, because....the band is so ..big.."ㅋㅋㅋ >__<"~ Turns out he wasn't from any of those (although I don't exactly know if he is in a boy band or not..since Koreans can practicaly act, sing AND danceㅋㅋ), and he was the, 'commiting suicide' guy from the start, all along..
Well, he ended up getting taken over by revenge and blah blah blah, you know the rest.

What really surprised me, was when I was doing a bit of background research of the actors in Boys Over Flowers, I came across one of the girl actresses, saying she had died during filming?? I was like.. "What the..?" , turns out she commited suicide, which is awefully sad. So maybe that is why those 3girls hardly turned up in the ending episodes??

The F4!~ㅋㅋ
구준표- Gu Jun Pyo: He has to be the one I fell in love with,ㅋㅋㅋ Although it took me awhile to get used to his 'ajumma perm' (Koreans like to call it thatㅋㅋ) I found that, that is the type of guy I would literally fall for.. Tall, handsome, rich, charming (in his own way), goofyㅋㅋ
I have to say, it annoyed me for awhile, how Jandi refused to go out with Junpyoㅎㅎ Why not? ^__^
윤지후- Yoon Ji Hoo: The silent, charming, sweet guy that most girls fall forㅋㅋ I first saw the actor 김현중 (Kim Hyun Joong) in an article on Cyworld about SS501 (the boy band he is a part of), and I thought, he is really handsomeㅋㅋ I was even more surprised to look at the cast list of Boys Over Flowers and see his name on it! ㅋㅋ That was partially the reason I wanted to watch the drama even moreㅋㅋ In a way, if I was Jandi, I think I would've given up on Junpyo and gone for JiHooㅋㅋㅋ But that's just me ^__^ Jandi never gives up~
소지정- So Ji Jung: Kim Bum!! I've seen and heard of him before Boys Over Flowersㅋㅋ My best friend had a screensaver with him on her phone (>__<) ㅋㅋ And my friend showed me a group of fans dedicated to Kim Bum on Beboㅋㅋ
In the first half of the drama, for some reason he really annoyed me... I wasn't sure if it was Kim Bum himself, or his characterㅋㅋ But I soon got to like him ^__^ He's extremely charmingㅋㅋ
송우빈- Song woo Bin: Ah! The good-looking (to me he is), bad ass guyㅋㅋ If I hadn't of fallen for Junpyo or Jihoo first then he would definitely be on the top of the listㅋㅋㅋ He's charming, handsome, rich and can protect youㅋㅋ What more could you ask for?? ^__^

All in all, I really enjoyed watching this drama, and I am hearing of a Season 2 (Boys Over Flowers 2) coming soon!~ I highly doubt that it could be true... But then again you never know do you.?ㅋㅋㅋ Well I do hope so, but then it looks like I will be waiting for someone to do English subtitles for all the episodes (which won't happen for quite awhileㅋㅋ).

안녕히 주무세요!! ^__^
