Ooooh that guy most to the right in that 1st pic (Rui?) is too HOT!! XDDD *faints* I've never actually watched either of the HYD-versions, but I <3 Oguri Shun and Matsumoto Jun, and Abe Tsuyoshi is not that bad either ;D I once planned to purchase the mangas, but when I discovered there were actually 37 volumes (!!!) I changed my mind, and I'm just too lazy to download all the scanned ones which would take me a lifetime, so I'd rather watch it then (my Japanese is not that sharp yet either, so reading it would be too much too) XDDD Thanks for the synopsis and scans hon, I appreciate it a lot for a starter and it made me more interested to watch it ;D
What can I can say, you've said it all. LOL I totally agree with all the plus and minus points you've raised especially regarding Lee Minho and Kim Hyunjoong.
Poor Hyunjoong, I bet he's gonna be compared with the acting of Oguri Shun who's a great actor. Lee Minho on the otherhand, is a great revelation. I've always thought that Jerry Yan did great in Meteor Garden, and probably nobody can beat that, but Minho is equally awesome.
I kind of feel sorry for him, especially being compared to Oguri but seriously he is so stilted and bad. It's like seriously can't you move your mouth or blink?!
LMH I think will be better than both previous Domyouji's. He's just really awesome :P
I actually think that this series is going to be better than the Japanese one... Okay, Oguri is an amazing actor, but I think Kim HyunJoong will do a great job ^^ and Kim Joon as Akira... Okay I love Abe Tsuyoshi so I think he looks better in the Jap one, but Kim Bum as Soujiroh was the ultimately best choice! Gah, I love him! He's so my favorite at the moment... I also think that even if Goo Hye Sun is not the prettiest actor in the biz in Korea, I think she'll do an awesome job... I love her character since she's a bit different from Makino ^^ I mean she screams a lot more and just being a little naive xD
Last... Lee Min Ho... God, I just fell in love with that man... I think I'm gonna worship him from now on... xD I <3 Him!!!! He's so much more handsome than MatsuJun so hell yeah he's gonna make me watch this more ^^
I usually get bored with dramas that are boring, but as I love this series so much in every language possible it's impossible not to love this too...
I agree! Although I loved the Jap version and def agree that Oguri is a better actor this series has me hooked.
I wish Kim Bum was older because I'd rather see him play Rui because he's more dreamy, serious and can act. I don't know I'm biased because I loved him in East Of Eden but really he is so perfect in this drama! And haha I actually prefer the guy in the Korean version who plays Akira! I find him much more attractive!
Lee Min Ho is a god and extremely sexy. Plus he can act and seems like he was BORN to play Domyouji. I know! This formula is faultless in any language it just translates so well!
OMG I'm so sorry 'cause I'm coming from nowhere and I'm coming from nowhere and I'm going to make a huge response here but that's because askjhaskjha!!!!! BOYS OVER FLOWERS OWNS MY SOUL RIGHT NOW. And I need to fangirl as much as I can so yeah ^^. Really, don't mind the fangirling XD.
About Jan-Di:
- she is sooo short compared to the actor who plays Domyouji it’s SO CUTE +2 AH AH! I love that. He looks like he's going to swallow her sometimes and still there's so much spunkiness in her that's it's totally reasonnable. They just really look good together.
- OMFG WHY IS HER HAIR SO BAD? It’s a running joke that Domyouji has shitty hair but why a bowl cut for her? Yuck. She’s supposed to look common not 10. -5 I actually like the hair. Is it not like that in the manga? Anyway, it makes the makesover and such even more impressive. Anyway the actress has a very pretty in a simple way figure so it works perfectly. Makes her even more unfashionable compared to the rest of Shinwa school.
- Serious overacting by the actress sometimes -15

About Soujiroh:
I'm sorry...you're really too cute and don't look like a playboy at all -5 That's actually GENIUS right here!! I love the duality in this guy: the baby face, the sweet smile, the proper style and the very princely manners and bam! the awful things that comes out from his mouth! Like he is seriously creepy. The best example is when you see Jun-Pyo being all agravated by the ice-cream scene with Jan-Di and he's all "what am I going to do to make her pay?" and you have that sweet, charming young man who comes, smile and says with very casualty "oh just do as usual". Meaning bring hell upon her. CREEPY! And you can totally see him using his angelic figure to play with women. Love the fact that the girl playing Yuki is so obviously candid. That's going to be pretty interesting I can tell ^^!
About Akira:
Once again I find him easy on the eyes + 20 He actually looks like a playboy +10 I agree. He's not pretty like the guy who plays Ji-Hoo, nor charming like Ki-bum, nor magnetic like Jun-Pyo but there's something very

Hahaha, awesome reply... Well the reason that Akira raps in English is because the dude, who acts him is a rapper in a band called T-Max who did the main theme to this drama... So yeah that's why he raps ^^ I was freaked out at first, but then when I read more about him I realized that there was a reason to it ^^ So don't mind about it ^^ It's obvious that his real personality is coming through as well ^^ Don't worry about it xD
ohh i just started watching this. i can't take waiting until the videos are posted, it's so addicting >_<. i think they casted perfectly, but the bowlcut...it's cute but she should get a new style soon, lol. and yea i think jandi screams a little *too* much, but oh man i love her family.
in the episode where her mother talked to her about weight i was like "wtf?!" if my mother said that to me...well you know, seeing as the community we're both in XD. and then i saw jandi in the pink dress and i was like FAT (or whatever her mother said)?? pfft.
