Just finished watching this superb drama. I wished it didn't end so quickly. When I first heard about it, I was a bit skeptical. Another "Meteor Garden" after taiwan and Japanese version. So I decided to just check it out and watch the first few episodes... and once i started, I never looked back.
Every week, i've been chasing after every 2 episodes.. And I sometimes, I even watch without English Subtitles!... Yup.. I am that crazy over the show.

All the F4 boys are sooo good looking... and Gu Hye Sun is such a lucky girl (but she's adorable).. Of course my favaurite is Lee Min Ho (Gu Jun Pyo).. He's soo gorgeous... and tall. Though acting wise, there are definitely room for improvements. Really looking forward to seeing him more in new Korean Dramas. I'm sure you people out there would think likewise.
Another significant difference between this Korean version vs the first 2 is that there is abosolutely no doubt that the fashion sense and location settings are the best (New Caledonia and Macau - interesting choices but a great way to advertise the 2 holiday destination).. The boys are always soo well dressed and they definitely look as "rich" as they are supposed to. Got to hand it to the production team as they really did well in both this area.
I've just learnt from a seminar recently that there are 2 test that each film/drama has to pass to be given a rating of 5 star. The test are:-
1) The film must be able to emotionally engage the audience - PASS
2) After watching, the audience can't wait to spread the word around that it's a great show/drama - PASS
So, BOYS OVER FLOWERS (KOREAN VERSION) - my personal rating is 5 STARS (Thumbs Up & Well done!!!!).
Go to dramabeans to read javabeans recap to have a great snapshot of all the episodes. Very well written. http://www.dramabeans.com/2009/01/boys-before-flowers-episode-1-korean-hana-yori-dango/
