I don’t tend to post about asian dramas here since I don’t think many of my friends watch them - so basically, this post will probably only be read by you, Michi!

Warning: Not really spoilery unless you are unfamiliar with the storyline
I’ve been a big fan of the whole Hana Yori Dango storyline since watching the Taiwanese version, Meteor Garden. It’s still one of my favorite dramas. That being said, I decided to watch Boys Over Flowers and I really enjoyed it. There were parts I really liked and parts I didn’t, and some changes to the original storyline that I liked.

Firstly, I really like the actors they cast for F4. In fact, I loved Lee Min Ho as the lead and thought he may have done a better job than Jerry Yan in MG. Mostly, I loved the extended storyline for Yi Jung in BOF, and Kim Bum was SO CUTE. The Yi Jung & Ga Eul storyline was my favorite part of BOF. I know, in the Taiwanese version they used the storyline for the related drama Meteor Rain so they didn’t completely ignore it. Anyhow, I only wished that they had actually given Woo Bin a storyline, especially since all the other members of F4 did. My only complaint with the casting really, is the actress who played Jan Di. But more on that under the cut.
