Over Flowers...
I thought I was over the F4 Fever when I first watched its Taiwanese version, Meteor Garden, in 2003 but I just proved myself wrong. It's so hard to get over the story... and the BOYS!
There are a lot of differences that I've noticed as I was watching BOF here. And to avoid being a spoiler, I won't say any of it. It's up to you to find out what are those. With Meteor Garden, I was really into Dao Ming Si and Mei Zuo, I never really paid attention to Xi Men until I saw BOF. (Well, I'm not really talking about the Taiwanese characters here but more of the actors who played the role. It's easier for me to remember BOF characters if I relate and call them by their Taiwanese character names, gets?)
It was Kim Bum's character (Xi Men in MG) that made me feel like I was 16 again (I was 24 when MG was shown here). I often kid about it and tell my sister that Yi Jung, his Korean character's name, can stay here if he wants, since he's not into nice, idiotic and involved-with-my-friend girls. I am qualified since I am not nice, not idiotic (or so I say) and I'm not friends with Geum Jan Di. *laughs sheepishly* While almost all who are watching and who have watched BOF are into Jun Pyo (Dao) and Ji Hoo (Lei), there I was 'drooling' and going gaga over Yi Jung.
Overall, I do believe *evil laugh* (a personal joke), the Koreans did a good job interpreting Hana Yori Dango. It was like MG and MG2 rolled into one. I just wished they did justice choosing a more good looking Geum Jan Di. My sister never fails to tell me EVERY TIME that she looks like Ms. Cynthia Patag, no pun intended, especially when Jan Di smiles.
