KDrama Diary

Yahooo!!! Finally, I got to watch a funny, romantic, light-hearted kdrama after following the sad Hwang Jini series ^_^

Love it, love it, love it. Dalja's Spring is very fresh, and the most important, I fell in love instantly with Lee Min Ki *gyaaaaaaaa XD* I must already put him in my Top 10 KDrama Hot Actors list :D

I'm up at episode 3, and tonight is the episode 4. The story is more like Korean version of Bridget Jones' Diary. It's story about Oh Dalja, a 33 years old, single, and never been kissed girl ^_^  Initially, she didn't want to climb up the carrier ladder where she works. Her only intention is getting married quick. Too bad, 8 years gone by already, and she's 33 years old now. She has carrier, money, but she didn't succeed in her love life. She never date any guy at all ^^;;

The story changes when Shin Sedo, the man she has a crush on finally responding. They become a couple, but this man turns out to be a player :P He stood up Dalja at a hotel. Feeling embarrassed, Dalja calls Kang Tae Bong, a paid fake date she met earlier, a hot guy which is 6 years younger than her :D She got up in the situation where she made a pact to pay him $3000 to be her fake boyfriend for a month, 3 hours a day :D

Not enough with 2 guys, there's another guy who will be Dalja's client, Uhm Gi Joong. He's a widower who Dalja has set her eyes upon him from the first time they met ^^;;

How this story will turn out? Which guy that Dalja choose in the end? I don't know, and I don't want to read the spoiler ^^ I just want to let the story goes on :D But my guess, Dalja will end up with Kang Tae Bong *the hot one, yayyyy :D*

At first, I thought Hot Blood is an action drama, judging by its title. But when I watched it, it turns out to be a story about a man who is willing to do anything to rake in 10 billion won by selling cars. In short, he's a car salesman ^^ It looks promising. I watch this drama in the hope of getting some new knowledge about marketing. Maybe it'll be come in handy for me someday ^^ Let's watch it together at KBS World on Saturday night ^^

I'm quite amazed about the theme. How a car salesman profession could be a theme of a drama? Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to look down on this profession. I said that because I bet this kind of theme won't be produced by Indonesian producer, which almost always make a cheesy story about hatred, revenge, and all kind of negative things :P I'm jealous about how advanced Korean drama compared to Indonesian drama. I hope there will be new producer/director who will bring a new light in Indonesian drama industry.

Finally, this long weekend drama has ended yesterday on KBS World. After running for 54 episodes, the long awaited marriage of the 3 sons has come :D Yes, the mother of the Son's family has been waiting long enough to see her sons get married. Imagine, they're all old enough, even the oldest one is 40, but no one wants to marry yet. No wonder the mother had a headache thinking about her unmarried sons ^^;;

My comment about this drama:

• It's worth watching, funny, but this is the type of drama that I would like to watch just on TV every weekend. I didn't feel the rush to watch the newest episodes that comes out on the internet (youtube, etc). It has lower likeness level compared to drama The Vineyard Man and Love Marriage that I watched before. These two dramas got me up all night cause I was eager to know what happened in the next episodes ^^
  
• Sometimes I get annoyed with the mother, especially when she starts beating her sons. I don't know, is it common in Korea for a mother to act that violently with her children?
  
• The casts are perfect. Maybe because of the long episodes, the longer interaction between the casts had formed the bonding they need to become a real family in this drama.
• The story has a complete end. I like it when a drama covers the characters' life completely, eg. how's their life after the marriage, etc. I just hate it when the drama only starts to wrap up the ending just at the last 5-10 minutes of the series :P I don't like a guessing game :P

After watching this drama, I had some thought about traditional Korean culture. Does keeping the tradition really is an important thing? It seems to me the relationship between mother in law and the daughter in law is kinda difficult. The mother in law seems like to fussing over little things like :

• daughter in law should bring gifts after returning from honeymoon
• daughter in law should not visiting her old house freely, etc
• daughter in law should prepare the breakfast even though she's in a hurry

That's what I captured from the series though, so I don't know the reality in Korean household ^^;; Anyone please confirm?

Since I'm always late watching this series, I barely can keep track of the episode number ^^;; The separation between JW and NY is still going on. JW's mom made it worse. She bypassed NY's phone call to JW, and ask to meet NY in a cafe. Insulted by NY's family act, she clearly stated that she also can't accept NY as daughter in law. JW found out, he got angry with her mom. I can't stand JW's mom right now. She acts like there's no other job in another company for her son. It's as if the sky would fall if JW isn't working at NY's mom company. Does she never heard the word entrepreneur? I bet she never hears it before, since she's not the bread winner of the family :P

The cartoonist and SH's mom relationship is developing a bit. Finally, after those moment of awkwardness between the two, SH's mom asked him to stay in Korea, and not leave her to Japan ^^

PD Min and SH relationship is also good. I think they'll definitely be a couple in the next few episodes. That's sort of a relief in the middle of JW and NW's separation. When can they be together? T_T

Last night I watched a new drama on KBS World, the title is The Queen Returns. Judging from the cast, it's so so :P I don't know whether this drama is intentionally aiming mature viewer (+30 years old maybe). The casts look a bit old :( except for the main guy *he's okay*

The theme of this drama is ballet. Two girls, were friend in their childhood since they were in college. Well, not really friend, since one girl was more like a slave for the rich girl. In college, the rich girl stole slave girl's BF due to one night stand and she's got pregnant. Rich girl married the guy, and the slave girl went overseas to study ballet on a scholarship.

After 17 years later, the situation changes. The rich girl with 3 children, has a hard life. Her husband doesn't have a steady job, and it seems that she wasn't supported by her rich family anymore. On the other side, the slave girl came back to Korea with a successful career as a ballerina, except for the fact that she's still single.

So far after watching 2 first episodes, I'm not really interested with the storyline. Plus, the casts aren't really outstanding to lure me watching this series ^^;; Well, let's see next week, whether I will continue watch it or not ^^;;

Quick recap of Everybody Cha Cha Cha eps 40 *atau 41 ya?* :

• JK udah married dengan Han, dan awal honeymoon aja udah bertengkar. Hhhh....si egois JK dengan igonarant-nya beli wine yang mahal, padahal Han bukan anak orang kaya. Han sebel dan JK bilang Han pelit. Endingnya masih berantem gitu deh :P Iiih...si JK ini pengen gw tonjok :P
  
• JW kencan bareng NY. NY mau beliin hadiah untuk JK, dan dia ngajak JW ke mall bagian baju dalam wanita :P JW malu dan nyuruh NY cepet-cepet beli ^^;; Mana SPGnya pake ngira kalau mereka newly wed pula, makin salting aja JW-nya ^^;;
• Abis belanja, JW & NY main-main air di taman. Kelihatannya asik juga. Tapi klo gw males ah, ribet klo basah :P
• SH ganti potongan rambut *jadi dikeriting*. Dan dia kayanya udah mulai ketemu sama love interestnya yang baru, PD Min. Meski di awal-awal ini belum keliatan, tapi gw yakin pasti SH jadian sama PD Min ^^
  

Quick recap of My Fair Lady eps 8:

• [Setengah jam pertama gw ga nonton karena belum pulang dari pengajian :P]
• DC balik lagi jadi butler HN. HN bilang dia merasa senang karena DC balik lagi, dan ngancem kalau dia berenti lagi, DC bakal mati :P Dan kayanya, HN mulai ada "rasa" ke DC, meski cuma dikiiiiit banget ^^
  
• Uiju tahu tentang hutang DC ke rentenir yang gede banget (100 juta). Jadi dia mau minjem uang ke TH, tapi TH ga punya uang karena yang kaya kan keluarganya, bukan dia ^^;;
• TH ngajak Uiju makan di restoran, dan mengundang HN & DC juga. TH kelihatannya udah mulai cemburu dengan DC, karena DC selalu ada di sisi HN tiap hari *ya iyalah, namanya juga butler :P* Karena DC nganter Uiju yg mabuk pulang, jadinya TH yang nganter HN pulang.
• Uiju ngasih tau DC kalau dia udah tahu tentang hutang DC, dan besok sudah jatuh tempo.
• Rentenir dateng ke kantor Gangsan Group untuk nemuin DC. Eh, mereka malah ketemu HN duluan. Uiju sempet lihat dan ngasih tau DC. DC buru-buru ke sana, tapi dia cuma ketemu HN aja dengan raut wajah seperti habis dikhianati. Dan seperti yang gw tebak....HN nampar DC. End of the episode :P

Btw, di korea sana, My Fair Lady udah tamat di eps 16. Dan dari yang gw baca di soompi, endingnya bagus loh. Yang jelas HN jadian sama DC ^^ Penasaran? Spoil yourself by reading soompi's thread :D

As usual, telat lagi nonton Everybody Cha Cha Cha T_T Jakarta macet sih :P Kayanya gw harus coba lewat rute lain nih. Anyway, adegan yang gw inget, JW lagi makan bareng NY, dan NY tiba-tiba nanya JW simpan no hp NY dengan nama apa. JW gelagapan, ga mau ngeliatin hp-nya. NY maksa liat, dan ketahuan kalau JW namain dia "Gadis Tangguh". Gw ga yakin terjemahan ini benar-benar tepat apa ga, secara gw ga ngerti bhs korea :P NY ngambek karena disebut begitu *shouldn't it be a compliment or what? yah, gw ga ngerti korean culture :P* Tapi JW juga penasaran, nama dia disimpan sebagai apa di hp NY, pas dia rebut hp-nya, nama JW disimpan sebagai "300 dollar". Kenapa? karena dulu JW sempat ngerusakin parfum NY yang seharga 300 dollar. Ini kesimpulan yang gw tarik karena gw ga nonton eps sebelum2nya :P *image taken from hjkomo's post at soompi.com*
Scene di akhir episode-nya apa ya? Gw lupa ^^;; Supaya ringkas, gw cuma mau record scene-scene yang ada Oh Man Seok-nya aja deh ^^ Mungkin dengan tambahan tokoh lain juga kalau dirasa perlu :P

Beralih ke drama My Fair Lady a.k.a Please Take Care of Young Lady. Di eps 7 ini *klo ga salah*, Lee Tae Hyun (TH) sudah jadian sama Kang Hye Na (HN). Butler Seo Dong Chan (DC) yang memang sudah memendam rasa suka ke HN, ga tahan lagi ngeliat kemesraan mereka. DC juga udah ga mau disuruh preman untuk mencuri uang dari HN, dia sampai rela dipukuli *tapi utang tetep ga putih :P* Akhirnya, setelah merenung, dia memutuskan resign dari kerjaan sebagai pelayan pribadi HN. DC sempat-sempatnya ngajarin HN naik sepeda karena TH ngajak kencan bareng naik sepeda. DC sempat menyinggung kalau DC ga ada, HN mau gimana. HN bilang DC harus tetap jadi pelayannya, no matter what, nanti biaya nikah DC & biaya sekolahnya anaknya bisa ditanggung HN.

DC resign diam-diam, dan HN tahu dari pelayan wanitanya. HN ngejar DC yang sudah jalan keluar. DC ga bilang alasan sebenarnya, tapi dia cuma bilang ga mau selamanya jadi butler-nya HN. HN ga terima dan marah. Hari-hari berikutnya dia uring-uringan ga jelas, maunya marah-marah melulu. Sampai akhirnya dia asal-asalan kasih tanda tangan di dokumen penting perusahaan. Karena kecerobohannya, HN dibantai di rapat direksi :P Kakeknya ga terima kelakuan HN, tapi HN bandel. Akibatnya kakeknya kena serangan jantung. Langsung aja wartawan memburu HN di RS, dan HN ga tahu harus jawab apa. Lagi dikerubutin gitu, DC dateng ngebelain HN dan nyelamatin dia keluar RS.
Bersambung deh :D

Belum puas liat tampang Oh Man Seok di The Vineyard Man, gw beralih ke dramanya yang lain : Everybody Cha Cha Cha a.k.a Jolly Widows a.k.a Mari Berjoged *yang nerjemahin parah banget sih* Gara-gara terjemahan judul yang ga jelas inilah gw sengaja melewatkan daily drama ini di KBS World. Abis judulnya norak banget, dan pas nonton iklan dramanya, gw juga ga sadar kalau ada Oh Man Seok di drama ini :D

Jadi lah gw memulai nonton drama ini di episode 30an something *telat banget yak* Sedihnya KBS World juga ga tayangin ulang di weekend T_T *why???*

Ok, lanjut. Di eps 30an, Han Jin Kyeong (JK) si anak manja nyebelin adiknya Han Jin Woo (JW) (Oh Man Seok) ngebet kepengen nikah dengan Han yang mantan pacarnya Su Hyun (SH). Tadinya ibu JK ga setuju, tapi karena JK sampe ga mogok makan, akhirnya disetujui. Han juga minta restu dari ortu JK, dan akhirnya mereka sepakat untuk nikah.

Enough with these couples, kita beralih ke pasangan JW dan Kang Na Yoon (NY). Ini kan motif utama gw nonton drama ini :P Pertama tune in, mereka berdua belum jadian, tapi NY akhirnya tahu SH bukan pacar JK, melainkan sepupunya aja. SH yang konfirmasi sendiri, karena dia ditanya oleh NY. Hilang satu deh obstacle :P Tapi JW tiap kali dideketin oleh NY juga ga menanggapi, karena JW diancam oleh Cheol *atasannya* supaya jangan deketin NY. Cheol ini jahatnya minta ampun, udah nyuri idenya JW, dia juga membuat JW dimutasi ke bagian lain. Dan sebelnya, dia didukung oleh ibunya NY yang evil supaya Cheol tunangan dengan NY @_@ Bodoh ah, mari kita bahas JW aja :P

Jadi JW lagi nengokin temen kantornya yang lagi bagiin sampel produk ke orang-orang yang lewat. Trus JW nanya NY mana, dijawab temennya kalau NY lagi bagiin ke restoran sekitar. Temennya nyuruh JW nyariin NY untuk kasih sampel tambahan. JW nyari, dan ketemu NY yang lagi diganggu oleh pemabuk. JW belain dan ditanya sama pemabuk, kasarnya "Lo siapa berani2nya mencegah gw, hah ???" Dan dijawab JW gini "Dia wanitaku" *letterlek banget sih terjemahan gw :P* Maksudnya "Dia pacarku" :D
Huehehehehe.....daaaaan bersambung :P

Sedihnya, esok harinya gw telat nonton bagian pertamanya T_T jadi ga liat lanjutannya T_T Pokoknya JW udah di dalam mobil nganterin NY pulang, dan mereka pegangan tangan dan kelihatannya udah jadian ^^ Jadi inget adegan di The Vineyard Man, waktu Jang Taekgi baru jadian sama Lee Jihyeon, mereka juga dalam mobil trus pegangan tangan ^^ Sesampai di rumah NY, JW agak kaget karena NY anak orang kaya banget. Tapi dia ga nunjukin itu ke NY sih. Besoknya mereka berdua lunch bareng. JW mau ngajak ke restoran bagus, tapi NY bilang ga usah, jangan ngabisin duit, dia punya kupon lunch di kantin kantor. Pas terakhir, mereka kepergok evil Cheol yang dengan segera minta NY supaya ikut rapat dengan dia =_= Setelah NY pergi duluan, Cheol tanya ke JW "Kamu suka dengan NY?" *dia masih pakai kata chuayo* ? JW jawab "Anio, Kang Na Yun shi, Saranghamnida" *pls bear with my poor spelling* Terjemahan kasarnya "Ga, Aku Cinta dengan NY" *jeng jeeeng*

Daaaan................bersambung :D Harus pulang cepet nih hari ini supaya ga ketinggalan lagi :D Ayo ayo...ikutan nonton Mari Berjoged yuuuk bareng gw :D

Kesan umum:
Thanks a million for KBS World udah nayangin ulang drama ini. Gw telat 3 tahun nonton film ini, but that's ok, daripada ga nonton sama sekali :P Tadinya gw rada2 males nonton karena cowoknya kurang ok ^^;; plus logatnya korea kampung ^^;; *jadi inget cewek dgn logat yang sama di A Love to Kill* Tapi pas gw ikutin terus ceritanya, gw makin seneng sama pemeran utama cowoknya. Nama aslinya Oh Man Seok a.k.a Man-Zzang *artinya Man-The Best*
Setelah selesai nonton, di akhir film gw pengen married sama orang kaya Jang Taekgi XDXDXD Malu gw, serasa menjilat ludah sendiri ^^;;
Nih cowok hebat banget, bisa ngebikin orang yang tadinya ga suka jadi cinta mati XD
Menurut gw, dia bukan tipe cowok yang bisa bikin kita jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama gitu deh, jadi klo bener-bener jadi suka sama dia, berarti kepribadiannya emang ok *tampangnya jadi makin manis loh, ga nyangka*
Film ini highly recommended banget, top abis!!!
Buktinya, gw sampe bikin blog baru untuk ngerekam kesan-kesan dari semua kdrama yang gw tonton ^^;; *tunggu postingan selanjutnya utk kdrama yang lain ^^;;*

Film ini juga punya happy ending yang lengkap dan ga membuat penonton menebak-nebak. Bayangin aja, sampe diceritain kehidupan mereka 10 tahun kemudian XD Punya anak 4 dan masih tetap mesra seperti dulu :D Ga kaya kdrama lainnya, yang puas dengan cuma nunjukin klo pemeran utamanya jadian di sekitar 10-20 menit terakhir ending film dan itupun jg kadang ga jelas mereka jadian beneran ato gak :P

Tapi sebagai fans berat, gw masih kurang puas nih dengan eps terakhir, kurang lama. Gw masih pengen liat adegan2 lucu Taekgi & Jihyeon lebih banyak lagi setelah mereka jadian. I wish the producer will make The Vineyard Man 2 ^^;; Karena kurang banyak adegan setelah mereka jadian, akhirnya gw kasih 9 bintang dari 10 utk film ini XD Coba kalo bisa tambah 1 eps lagi, pasti gw kasih 10 bintang :P

Soundtrack:
Soundtracknya cool abis. Musiknya campuran, ada yang flute, ballad, irama India, pastinya reggae & rap *jarang2 kan kdrama yang pakai musik reggae & rap* Meski campur aduk, tapi lagu-lagunya cucok & ngepas banget buat drama ini :D
Penasaran dengan soundtracknya? Enjoy : OST The Vineyard Man - Song (full 1 album) dan OST The Vineyard Man - Lyrics *gw udah mulai karaokean tiap hari nih ^^;;*
Soundtracknya gw kasih nilai 9 bintang dari 10 :D Korea emang top abis nih bikin soundtrack yang bisa menghidupkan suasana :D

Cast:
Oh Man Seok - Gw ga pernah liat drama cowok ini sebelumnya. Ternyata The Vineyard Man (a.k.a Man of the Vineyard/Man in the Vineyard) memang drama pertamanya. Tapi di dunia musical stage theater, dia udah senior dan Superstar, sudah banyak menang award. Menurut sumber dari soompi, kalau dia jadi pemeran di salah satu musical stage, pasti tiketnya laku keras bak kacang goreng o_O

Dari kesan pertama pas liat, ampun deh, logatnya itu, ga nahan :P Klo dibandingin dengan orang Indonesia, mungkin kaya kita denger orang Jawa dengan logat Tegal kali ya *no offense ^^;;* Tapi ya di film ini ceritanya dia emang orang kampung, jadi ga bisa nyalahin, malah klo ga ada logat, bakal jadi ga convincing :P
Tapi jangan salah, meski kampung, dia lulusan S2 dan sempet kerja di lab riset. Dia kerja di kebun anggur (vineyard) karena emang milih kehidupan yang tenang dan suka berkebun *atau karena putus sama ex-nya ya?*

Singkat cerita, karena tampangnya yang kurang menarik, gw melewatkan beberapa eps awal, cuma gw tonton separuh2 aja karena kebetulan tayangnya di KBS World pas lagi bulan puasa, jadi gw mau tidur cepet ^^;;

Perhatian, selama ini gw selalu disodori oleh tampang2 pretty boys such as F4 di Boys Before Flower, etc etc, jadi no wonder kalo gw rada ilfil pas awal :P
Tapiii....setelah ditonton terus, ceritanya makin menarik, dan entah kenapa, gw kaya kena pelet dan jadi suka sama cowok ini ^^;; Gw ga bisa berenti nyanyiin lagu yang dia nyanyiin *dengerin lagu ringtone hp-nya deh, so funny and addicted, judulnya Genghis Khan* Gw juga nyari semua pic & video yang ada Oh Man Seok di youtube XD even itu video interview yang berbahasa korea *padahal gw ga ngerti* Begitu kali ya klo orang yang lagi kesengsem *apapun dilahap :P*

Gara-gara peran Oh Man Seok sebagai Jang Taekgi di The Vineyard Man, gw jadi ngikutin daily drama dia Everybody Cha Cha Cha (aka Mari Berjoged) di KBS World yang tayang tiap Senin-Jumat pukul 18.20. Lumayan lah, buat mengobati kerinduan :P

Man-Zzang oppa, please please please..secepatnya dong main di drama lain dan jadi pemeran utama, spy gw bisa puas-puasin ngeliat oppa :D

Mengutip kalimat Jihyeon waktu ketemu Taekgi di peron stasiun kereta :
*jgn protes klo gw salah spelling, maklum, cuma denger doang :P*

Yoon Euh Hye - gw sempet lupa-lupa inget dengan pemeran Lee Jihyeon ini. Siapa ya cewek ini? kayanya pernah liat. Akhirnya gw inget klo dia yang main Princess Hours yang dulu pernah tayang di Indosiar. Gw jadi inget karena ngeliat bibir & giginya yang khas banget ^^;; Cute, manja, agak-agak brat, itu kesan awal. Gw jg sebel dengan tingkahnya yang ngeremehin Taekgi di eps2 awal. Tapi akhirnya, lama-lama dia berubah dari spoiled little brat jadi cewek yang udah mulai suka dengan desa & kerjaannya di kebun anggur, dan mulai menghargai orang lain. Pas eps2 awal, kita dibikin takjub dengan kostum yang dia pakai untuk kerja di kebun. Masa mau kerja di ladang pake high heel, tank top, rok mini, sun glasses, dan bawa-bawa tas tangan. Yang bener aja deh mba :P akhirnya dia sendiri yang susah. Akhirnya dia nyerah juga dan mulai berkostum properly *kaya ajuma / bibi bibi dusun gitu deh ^^;;*

Sweet & Funny moments:

• Waktu Taekgi & Jihyeon ke pinggir danau nyari kunang-kunang. Pas pulang Taekgi ngasih piggy back riding ke Jihyeon dan nyanyi untuk Jihyeon
• Karena mabuk bareng, Jihyeon salah masuk kamar dan malah tidur di tempat tidur Taekgi. Pas bangun, mereka panik karena kakeknya dateng buat ngasih tau kalau Kyeongmin dateng buat nemuin Jihyeon. Tampangnya lucu banget XD
  
• Waktu nyari babi peliharaan yang lepas ke hutan, Taekgi & Jihyeon terpaksa camping di pinggir kali dan tidur berdampingan di tenda yang kecil. Nothing mushy di sini, tapi sweet aja, karena ga melibatkan adegan kissing etc. Sebenernya Taekgi pengen banget, tapi dia kan belum tau klo Jihyeon suka sama dia, jadi dia cuma berharap dalam hati aja :P *poor you*
• Waktu Jihyeon ga sengaja megang tangan Taekgi yang terasa kasar *tangan pekerja* pas mereka cuci piring & panci di pinggir kali. Taekgi masih jaim aja, jadi dia narik tangannya dan malah cerita tentang kaki Park Jisung *pemain bola* yang penuh luka-luka, tapi menurut dia, kakinya itu paling indah sedunia karena nunjukin kerja kerasnya Park Jisung dalam berlatih main bola. Gw udah search tapi ga nemu pic kaki Park Jisung T_T. Jihyeon jadi makin jatuh cinta sama Taekgi karena dia tahu Taekgi pekerja keras ^o^
  
• Adegan Taekgi ngejar-ngejar kereta Jihyeon, dan finally mereka kiss untuk pertama kalinya. Finally, we got to see the long awaited and intense kiss *_* Adegan yang udah ditunggu-tunggu oleh penonton, dan baru dikasih pas eps terakhir T_T Adegan kiss ini hampir makan waktu 1 menit ^^;; dan keliatan banget klo Taekgi udah ga sabaran banget nunggu momen ini *judged by his expression yang mupeng banget ^^;;*

Sebenernya masih banyak lagi yang mau ditulis, tapi ntar pada bosen bacanya :P Udah panjang banget nih, jarang-jarang gw bisa nulis sebanyak ini ^^;; If you don't mind, please share your sweet and funny moments in this drama ya :D I'd be more than glad to know anyone who loves this drama as much as I do ;D

Whoaaa..finally.... Boys Over Flowers are being aired on KBS World :D This drama is fenomenal. It is based on a manga *japanese comic* written by Yoko Kamio. The original title is Hana Yori Dango (HYD). It has 3 drama versions so far. First version was Meteor Garden, Chinese version. It was a great hit. It even had a sequel ^^ Then the Japanese version came up. This version had a movie to end the story. Then the last one, the Korean version. I think it's still being aired on KBS2 *haven't checked it yet*

From these 3 versions, I think the actors who play Tsukasa Domyouji are all good looking aka kakkoi :D I think they all have the same grade ^^ But for Rui, the best one is Vic Zhou. I think he's the one who resemblence Rui the most ^^ For Tsukushi Makino role, I pick the Japanese version. The Chinese & Korean version of Makino are too thin ^^;;

Up till now, I still can't decide which version is the best one since the Korean version is just getting started. So far, I enjoy it since the actors who play the F4 are all handsome ;D One thing that I regret is the OST of Boys Over Flowers is not as good as previous KBS World Drama, Matchmaker's Lover (Love Marriage) OST. That's too bad, since OST is one of the main factor of a great drama.
