i’m not really a fan of koreanovelas but this one got me hooked last weekend when family and i had the chance to watch the first 12 episodes on DVD. first of all, the story itself is good. the choices of celebrities to portray the cute and intense characters is well done. personally, i love JUN PYO’s role being all-rich and powerful but an underdog to JAN DI because of his romantic feelings towards her. i think that’s where most of the funny scenes and scripts take place, aside from jan di’s weird and crazy family scenes, of course.

so there, i like BOYS OVER FLOWERS because it’s cute and filled with funny moments that you don’t witness or even experience everyday. it’s some sort of a good relief from all the everyday stress and complications so i recommend taking a peek at even one of its episodes and see if you’d be hooked too. anyway, i’ve watched a few episodes of the taiwanese version, METEOR GARDEN, which was also a hit and i think i like the korean version much better because it’s fast-paced. other korean productions / movies that are among my favorites are MY SASSY GIRL and WINDSTRUCK. i’m a big fan of koreans when it comes to romantic comedies so kudos!

P.S. maybe i’m also a big fan of stories with powerful women.
