Yup this series is definitely the best drama i have ever watched.
you guys are so popular in Nepal as well.
October 28th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
hey guys! i just want to say that I SOO LOVE THIS DRAMA! my gosh. i can’t get over it. i think it has been six months since i’ve watched this drama and i still love it, i still watch it all over again in dvds! okay, i have soo much to say about this drama so please bare with me :))
*at first i hesitated to watch this because i’ve seen METEOR GARDEN [the taiwanese drama, first version] and i loved it! the whole Philippines loved it! if it’s already 5:30 here [Meteor Garden time slot] all people would stop in what they are doing! everyone had posters, stickers and stuff of F4! we filipinos can even sing to the F4 songs even if we don’t understand a thing about it. ^^ Also in the Japanese version, i didn’t really liked it ’cause i don’t know
i got bored that’s why i didn’t bother to expect something great on this one [sorry for the fans :)] . well anyway, yea… i hesitated but it was a hot item in the internet since everybody was talking about it, blogs of BOF were everywhere in the net. so i gave it a try, downloaded the first episode of bof, and i gotta tell you guys, i got hooked at the moment where GOO JUN PYO flashed his ever glorious, cutee, mesmerizing smile!!!! gawd, i felt like i was in heaven! seriously! and after that, i just couldn’t stop, it was then until morning that i had to catch a break to sleep and to rest my laptop! [actually if not for my laptop, i would really continue, i mean i wouldn’t mind staying up for 48 hours so that i could finish it all!] also, the cast were so fresh, i didn’t even knew a cutie and gorgeous LEE MIN HO and KIM BUM exist in this world! my ideal type :)) and not to mention, the budget of this series, it was obviously a high cost production because they went to New Caledonia and Macau. honestly i’ve never heard of New Caledonia, but after seeing it in BOF suddenly it was on the map… and MACAU, one of my favorite tourist destinations ever, I LOVEE MACAU! i mean compared to meteor garden obviously in this version the producers really emphasized on how effin’ rich the F4 is! just look at their wardrobes! love the branded suits, shoes, bags and jewelries! i admire the stylists of BOF! they really showed a very sophisticated F4 in this version! and ofcourse, the cars… love the CADILLACS, FERARRI and [ my gosh my dream car] LOTUS! whoa! I LOVE ALL OF THEM :)) and to add it up, i liek how they really based bof to the manga. they didn’t edit much. and oh yea, i like how they added a story line between YI JEONG and GA EUL! and they’ve put alot if really romantics scenes of Gu jun pyo and Jan di…
nwi, all in all… this is my favorite out of the three versions! i love evry bit of BOF! even HA JAE KYUNG, i soo love this girl. i even want her instead of Jan di for Jun Pyo. I think the two have a much better chemistry [not that jan di and jun pyo don’t have any but i think jae kyung and jun pyo look cute together!]. well. for everyone on BOF! TWO THUMBS UP FOR YOU GUYS! ^^
