Boys over Flowers ~ Episode 4 Review

Episode 4 starts off with a recap of last episode where Ji Hoo is upset at Jan Di for begging Min Seo Hyun to stay.

After Ji Hoo tells Jan Di to get lost, she runs off in tears. Ji Hoo then takes off on his bike.

At the airport, Jan Di asks Jun Pyo for relationship advice. She wants to know whether someone should tell a person their feelings without regards to how the other person feels. Jun Pyo tells her that to not tell them, they are ignoring them. All of the F4 (minus Ji Hoo) comes to see Min Seo Hyun off. She tells each one goodbye and then takes off for the plane, looking around for Ji Hoo. As they all are walking back, they start to talk bad about Ji Hoo. Out of nowhere he shows up!! He had been there all along! Jan Di tells him to go after Min Seo Hyun and gives him an earful. He was already one step ahead of her and had purchased a plane ticket.

As Ji Hoo is about to leave, he thanks Jan Di and kisses her on the forehead.

Once again, Jun Pyo does not look happy.

After everyone leaves the airport, Jan Di and Jun Pyo are parked on the side of a road, drinking coffee. Jun Pyo traps her against the car and tells her that she needs to listen to him. Just as a plane is going over, he tells her that they should date. 

During school the next day, Jun Pyo comes over to the table where her and Min Ji are eating and tells Jan Di, "4 0'clock, Nam San Tower. Do not be one minute late or you are dead" then turns around and leaves. 

Jan Di and her mom end up at a blowout sale, leaving Jun Pyo waiting in the cold for Jan Di.

 When she finally shows up he scolds her for leaving him out in the snow for 4 hours. She gets him back by saying he should have never waited. To make up for it, she offers to by him coffee. They go out to the Sky lift to drink and look at the stars (which Jun Pyo calls satellites).  The manager, not knowing they were out there, locks up for the night, leaving both Jan Di and Jun Pyo stuck out in the cold. They go inside one of the cars to try to keep warm. Jun Pyo starts to get sick and at first, Jan Di is mean to him but then becomes concerned when she finds him running a fever. She takes out everything in her bag and wraps Jun Pyo up so he will be warm.

 They both end up falling asleep. Jun Pyo wakes up and takes her pen. The next morning the manager comes to open up and finds them in the car. 

Jun Pyo offers to take Jan Di home but she refuses telling him that she needs to come up with a good excuse. He leans in to whisper something in his ear. Someone, somewhere is taking pictures of them. Jan Di arrives home and starts to apologize but her parents are celebrating. Jun Pyo had called them and told them she had saved him and sent over gifts for them all.

Texts start going around the school that Jun Pyo and Jan Di are dating. Pictures of them are put up on the big screen at school. Everyone asks Jun Pyo if it is true. Jan Di is beside him telling everyone no but Jun Pyo grabs Jan Di and tells everyone yes and takes off with her. Min Ji looks sad.

Jan Di goes to visit Min Ji at her house because she was sick. Min Ji asks if the rumors are true. Jan Di denies them. Min Ji feels better all of a sudden and asks Jan Di if she wants to go out. 

The members of the F4 ask Jun Pyo if he is serious about dating Jan Di. They tell him that his mother has a say so in the end of who he dates. Jun Pyo says he will see this to the end.

Jan Di and Min Ji go to a club where we see a whole different nasty side to Min Ji. Jan Di runs into a man with a guitar and they go outside to get some air. He plays a song for her and hands her his drink after he sees that she has finished hers. After take a drink, Jan Di becomes dizzy and passes out. When she wakes up she is in a strange room with her clothes thrown all over the place and a note written in lipstick on the mirror that says " Thanks for last night"

The next day, Jun Pyo wears a school uniform to school (something the F4 does not do) and has his hair straightened. He does this because Jan Di told him that is what she hates most about him.

Jan Di is attacked by the mean girls. They drag her downstairs and show her on the screen pictures of her and the man she met at the club, who is naked in the bed that she woke up in. Jun Pyo comes in and wants to know what is going on. Jan Di tries to hide the pictures but he ends up seeing them anyway. He asks her what is going on and she tells him she is afraid she is being set up. Jun Pyo ends it with Jan Di.

Jan Di tries to find out what happened to her that night and who was behind it. Ga Eul, Ji Yung, and Woo Bin help and go out to gather clues. They end up finding the guy who was at the club and asks who is behind it.

At school, everyone is planning a "tomato party" for Jan Di. Min Ji reads the note and tells Jan Di she has to leave. While Jan Di is riding her bike home, a few guys trip her bike with a chain which sends Jan Di flying off of her bike. 

During that time, Jun Pyo visits the room that Jan Di was in. On the bed are pictures of the guy and Jan Di together. Jun Pyo becomes enraged and destroys the room. Min Ji appears behind him and tries to get him to turn against Jan Di. Jun Pyo asks her why she would do this to her friend. Min Ji tells him that Jan Di stole him from her. He gets mad and throws her to the ground and leaves. He now knows the truth.

Back at school, they have set Jan Di's bike on fire. When she stands up to them they start throwing water balloons at her and sprays her with a fire extinguisher. She falls to the ground.

***********************************

I love the faces that Lee Min Ho makes in this drama. If I could capture every one of them, my poor blogs would be filled with nothing but pictures. Not that I am sure you guys would mind!

I am not sure how to feel about Ji Hoo going after Min Seo Hyun. I was really hoping that he would stay and go after Jan Di but now, at the same time I am rooting for her and Jun Pyo.

How cute was Jun Pyo all wrapped up in scarves? And then with the straight hair. OMG!! I seriously think the man could look good in anything and everything (and well we seen what he looked like with nothing!! WOOO) 

I want to know where to get one of those bears!( ok actually I think it was a sheep, but you know what I mean) I know that here we have a Build a Bear and I wonder if that is where I can get one and if I can do the same thing? They are just really cute!

OK...question. How do you fall pass out, wake up, see something that says "Thanks for last night" not remember anything and still freak out. Regardless if you REMEMBER...wouldn't you FEEL a little different? Especially if, you know, you are a virgin? I mean I know the whole situation was dirty and I know if I get a comment about anything they are going to tell me no she wouldn't feel any different because of the size of his package yada yada yada... I have heard it all before but still...Hello?

I am really hoping in the next episode that Jun Pyo makes things right with Jan Di after he dumped her in the middle of the school and caused all the problems she is having now. I am sure somewhere in there he actually has a heart!

Boys over Flowers ~ Episode 3 Review

First off let me sincerely apologize for my lack of writing lately. I have been extremely busy with exams but I am back and hopefully will not have any interruptions for awhile. Thank you for your patience.

This episode begins with a recap of the ending of the last episode where Jan Di walks back into the party.

Ji Hoo gives his hand to Jan Di asking her to dance. At first she is hesitant but then she shyly agrees. Jun Pyo is not happy that he asked her to dance first.

While dancing, Jan Di looks like she is floating on air. Ji Hoo looks slightly annoyed until we see that she is standing on his shoes as they dance. Jun Pyo can not watch them dance so he storms out of the party. Outside he throws another one of his temper tantrums and starts throwing and kicking around stuff (someone needs a time-out...or a spanking! hehe)

Back inside the party, Ji Hoo and Min Seo Hyun are dancing while Jan Di is sitting and watching. She can no longer watch them so she gets up to leave the party as well. Jun Pyo is sitting by the pool and he spots what looks like a cricket on a chair. it jumps on his head and he goes crazy trying to get it off. (Ok so we now really know that he is afraid of any bugs...I feel your pain Jun Pyo!) While he is thrashing around trying to get if off of him, he falls into the pool. Jan Di at that moment is walking down the stairs and hears a splash. She thinks nothing of it until she hears someone screaming for help. Someone runs back to the party to alert everyone that Jun Pyo has fallen into the pool. Everyone runs. The mean girls do not understand but Ji Yung tells them that the great Jun Pyo can not swim. When they reach him, Jan Di has already pulled Jun Pyo from the pool and is attempting CPR. (why has no one called for an ambulance? Everyone is just standing there!) Jan Di starts giving Jun Pyo mouth to mouth resuscitation. After a few tries Jun Pyo's eyes pop open!

He tries to pull Jan Di in for a kiss but she starts pulling away and screaming (she is nuts! haha) He quickly sits up with a big smile on his face. It doesn't last long because Jan Di punches him in the face!!

Jun Pyo wakes up the next day in a great mood and even decides to go to school early. He mentions the great weather they are having (It is storming outside)

Now we see why he was up early and in such a great mood. He was planning more things for Jan Di. She goes to open the door to the pool and the handle is covered in some sort of clear gel like stuff. When she finally gets to the pool, it is filled with ducks!! Jun Pyo is watching from his "clubhouse" and laughing as he sees Jan Di go into a rage.

Once again we return to the fairytale setting of Ji Hoo playing his violin in the forest. This time it is snowing which just adds to the magical effect. As he is playing the violin, a string breaks. He throws the violin down on the bench. Jan Di just so happens to be walking by and sees Ji Hoo. She sees that he is bleeding from the cut made by the broken string and kneels down to wrap his finger. He pulls away but she tells him that she will leave after she is done. The mean girls are hiding in the bushes recording the two. (CREEPERS)

Before Jan Di leaves she opens her umbrella and places it over the violin to protect it from the snow.

Jun Pyo is relaxing in a raft at the pool that Jan Di practices at. (OK first off how did he get in there without any help or getting wet and also he is there alone and CAN NOT SWIM...what would he do if he accidentally fell in? Not so smart Jun Pyo!)

He hears footsteps and thinks it is Jan Di when actually it is the mean girls coming to show him the video of Ji Hoo and Jun Pyo together. The look on Jun Pyo's face tells the girls that he is mad although we know it is because he is upset and hurt. When the girls bad mouth Jan Di, he tells them to shut up and breaks the camera.

Jan Di runs back to the "magical forest" in hopes to find Ji Hoo. He is not there. When she turns around she is confronted by Jun Pyo. She tries to walk away but he grabs her arm. After talking for a few minutes, Jun Pyo once again tries to kiss Jan Di. She starts screaming and pulling away again. (I seriously need to have a talk with this girl!) He lets her go, asks her if she really hates him that much and walks off.

Jan Di receives an invitation to Min Seo Hyun's birthday party. her parents are excited and go down to the Dry Cleaners (that they own) to look for a dress for her to wear. They are upset that they can not give Jan Di a suitable dress. A woman arrives with a package for Jan Di from Min Seo Hyun. Inside is a dress for her to wear to the party.

Jan Di arrives at the party and gathers with the members of the F4 minus Ji Hoo. Ji Yung and Woo Bin talk about how well Jan Di looks but Jun Pyo puts her down. Ji Hoo and Min Seo Hyun come out to greet the guests. Ji Hoo plays "Happy Birthday" to Min Seo Hyun on his violin while her giant birthday cake is set in front of her.

Ji Hoo leaves the room and Min Seo Hyun tells everyone that she is leaving Korea to go to Paris and she will not be returning.

Min Seo Hyun finds Ji Hoo in a room playing with a puppet she gave him a long time ago. He gets mad and throws it and tells her that he feels like he is being thrown away also. She tries to tell him that he has feelings for Jan Di but he does not want to hear it. he rushes to her and tells her he wants to be with her. She hugs him and afterwards they share a kiss.

Jan Di is standing at the door and witnesses the kiss. She quietly closes the door and steps away. Jun Pyo finds her outside of the door and teases her. Ji Hoo and Min Seo Hyun come out and tells them they are going for a drive and ask if she wants to come along. Jun Pyo saves Jan Di by telling them they were going for a drive as well.

Jun Pyo takes Jan Di to a bar that he rented for the night. He tells her that she is the only girl he has ever approved of. Both of them get flustered and Jun Pyo gets up to go to the restroom while Jan Di downs some alcohol. When he returns, Jan Di is drunk and starts saying all kinds of crazy things. She goes to tell him that the only way to repay him for everything is kiss him but she ends up throwing up on him instead.

Jun Pyo takes Jan Di to his house for the night. Shortly after she wakes up, the steward comes to alert Jun Pyo that the witch (Jun Pyo's mother) has arrived. Jun Pyo calls in the other members of the F4 to help him out. They dress Jan Di up and tell the witch that she is a friend from school. She is very skeptical of the girl. They are holding a yearly auction at the house and the witch reminds everyone that they are to take part in it. During the auction Jan Di sees a pair of swimming goggles that belonged to a famous Olympic swimmer. Jun Pyo sees that Jan Di really likes them and secretly bids on them. He gives them to her before she leaves. When she gets home she puts the goggles in the place that she once had Ji Hoo's handkerchief in.

Everyone is realizing that Ji Hoo is depressed. Jan Di goes looking for him where she first met him and then finds him in the "magical forest" playing the violin and crying.

Jan Di goes to the pool where she finds Min Seo Hyun. She came to tell her goodbye. Ji Hoo sees Min Seo Hyun's car outside of the pool house and finds the two talking. Jan Di gets on her knees and begs her not to leave, saying that if she goes Ji Hoo may never smile again. Ji Hoo listens secretly behind a wall. In the middle of Jan Di pleading Min Seo Hyun to stay, he turns around and leaves. Min Seo Hyun picks Jan Di up and tells her why she must leave and asks her to make Ji Hoo smile again. She then gives Jan Di a pair of shoes.

As Jan Di is walking home she is confronted by Ji Hoo who is mad because of what Jan Di has done. Jan Di tries to tell him why she did it but Ji Hoo does not care and tells Jan Di to get lost. 

****************************************

Is it me or is Jun Pyo just a grade school kid in a man's body? He picks on Jan Di and is mean to her because he likes her. That is so elementary! What is crazy is that it seems to work no matter what age they are. You can tell by the look on Jan Di's face after she puts the goggles away that she could possibly like Jun Pyo.

I am kind of upset that Min Seo Hyun is leaving. I am not sure what they would have done with her but she only got to play a small part in this drama.

Shinee ~ Dream Girl

As I mentioned in my intro, I will, from time to time, post stuff other than Kdrama reviews. I think you will not complain about today's review. 

SHINEE'S BACK!!

On February 19th, Shinee came back with a BANG with their new song "Dream Girl". Along with the new song came an ovary exploding video! (what else would we expect from Shinee??) Here is my reaction and thoughts about this new video. Oh, and in case you have been under a rock or in a coma and have not seen the video yet, here is the link...

http://youtu.be/vhxjEXDAy6s

First off, HOW HOT IS TAEMIN? He use to be so cute and now he is just upgraded to hot status. When did that happen?? I love this beginning part with him in it and am SO glad that he is getting more solo parts. He has an amazing voice! 

I don't know about the rest of you Shawol's but I personally do not like Key with blonde hair. Do not get me wrong, I love Key to death, he is the cutest thing ever (well besides Onew...and Minho..and Jonghyun...oh forget it!! He is just cute!! lol) but I love when he has darker hair. I hope I am not the only one!

Speaking of my Onew (yes he is my bias and he is MINE hahaha) even though I love him so so much, I am not digging his looks in this video. There are a few cute shots of him which I have captured and will share later but for the most part, his looks are just not getting me in this video. His voice however, makes up for it all. I love, love, LOVE to listen to Onew sing!! 

Minho looks the same. Not that I was expecting anything drastic because it has not been that long ago since we actually saw them, but I was hoping he changed his style. It is okay though...he is still freaking adorable!

Jonghyun. Oh that sexy hunk of Korean! He looks SO GOOD in this video. When I first started listening/watching Shinee, I thought he looked like a monkey but WOW he is really hot in this video. He knows it too!! haha

OK now that I picked apart our adorable members, let's get into the video.  The beginning is OK. Seems like a lot of kpop videos start with some kind of different lighting, which is OK. 

I really like how they used the mic stands as props through the video. Nothing fancy but it works good for them. 

So have any of you wondered why the girl has flowers for a face? I read an explanation that makes sense, it said that in our dreams, we never really see a person's face. Pretty cool. 

I have one question to the fashion crew of this video. WHAT THE HECK IS WITH THESE PANTS??? I mean really? Put them in PJ's or something but not these ugly pants. I can't even tell who's pants are the worst! (I think the PJ's would have been sexier!) Oh and is Taemin wearing a pink turtleneck?? Oh Taemin honey...Martina is gonna get you for that!! 

I love the whole concept of this video. it looks like they had a lot of fun making it with the trampoline and all. Was a really cool idea to add that.

The only thing I am disappointed about in this video is the lack of dance. We all know that the members of Shinee are known for their dancing and they are really good at it. We don't see any at all. 

****KEY POINTS****

Taemin's whole first part of this video. SEXY

About 1:28 ~ Jonghyun and the lip biting. WOOOO

About 1:48 ~ Onew's little part here. I don't know why but I watch that part over and over. It is just cute to me.

About 2:15 ~ While Minho is doing his rap he gets that "Take that" look with a sharp nod of the head. LOVE IT!!!

And the sexiness continues...

TAEMIN

Do you see this sexiness? OMG! I love him even more now because he is wearing a Dallas Cowboy shirt. YOU GO BOY!!

JONGHYUN

He is so adorable and I love his hair in this video!

ONEW

Regardless of the way he looks in this video (I think he looks the best with the hat on) he is still my favorite in Shinee!

KEY

Such a cutie even with the blonde hair (he needs to go dark again!)

MINHO

See? No different but still amazingly handsome!

There ya have it folks! Hope you enjoyed this blog and continue to support our Shinee Oppas!

Boys over Flowers ~ Episode 2 review

In our previous episode we seen where Jan Di was grabbed by a few school guys. They try to take off with her, kicking and screaming.

 All of a sudden who shows up? Yes, Ji Hoo! Instead of him helping at first, he bends down and asks her about pancakes!!

Finally he makes them let her go. She thanks him but he tells her he did not do it for her but because he gets annoyed at this type of stuff. Why does he let Jun Pyo get away with it? 

Later we see Jan Di riding home on her bike. She passes Ji Hoo who is staring at a billboard of a model. When she backs up she sees that he has his face planted on the billboard. She tells him that he should not do that because his hands will get all black and dirty. She pulls out some napkins (or wipes I can't tell) and he thinks she is going to give them to him to clean his hands. Instead she walks right past him and cleans the billboard! Once again we get an awesome smile from him!

Jun Pyo starts a rumor around the school that a girl is pregnant. Everyone is wondering who it is and then he announces that it is Jan Di. This enrages her so she gives in and goes to Jun Pyo to confront him. He thinks she is there to apologize. This time instead of throwing ice cream in his face, she gives him a flying round kick to the face! His friends are all laughing and enjoying the show but once again Jun Pyo has that shocking look on his face! He really can not believe this girl!!

Jun Pyo must have hit his head because now he thinks that Jan Di is doing all of this because she is in love with him. (At this point I am starting to think it is the other way around)

Jun Pyo then has his goons kidnap Jan Di. She does a good job at first hiding from them but they sneak up behind her and put her in a car. She puts up a pretty good fight until they use chloroform on her. When she wakes up, she is being pampered by his staff. They do her hair and makeup and put her in really nice clothing.

 She is then taken by the steward to a room and says someone is waiting for her. (By the way, did you see that house? OMG!) She sees a figure by the window and thinks that it is Ji Hoo. When she realizes it is Jun Pyo she starts yelling at him. Jun Pyo tells her that from now on, he will allow her to speak to him when they are alone. She rejects him which sends him into a rage. He orders for all of the maids that served her to be fired. At that same moment, he spots a bee and starts running around like a little girl screaming until they finally shoo the bee out of the window. Instead of firing all of the maids he only fires the one that made the tea since he figures that she is the one that brought it in. 

Jan Di leaves the house angry and then realizes she still has on the shoes he bought.  She takes them off and throws them over the fence leaving herself barefooted. But....DA DA DA DA....JI HOO TO THE RESCUE!!! He shows up on his motorbike. They sit and talk for a few minutes (and he smiles A LOT!) and before he leaves he gives her his shoes to wear home. Lucky girl!!

The next day when she goes to return the shoes, she runs into the other 2 members of the F4, Ji Yung and Woo Bin. She gives them the shoes to give to Ji Hoo and goes to leave but they stop her and offer her tea. As they are talking, they tell Jan Di about Ji Hoo and his childhood and the car wreck that killed his parents. They also tell her about his love for the model (from the billboard) Min Seo Hyun. 

Later at home during dinner, Jan Di's brother finds gambling tickets in the back pocket of his fathers pants. This causes a fight between her parents. Jan Di goes to her room where she pulls out the handkerchief that Ji Hoo gave her when she was covered in flour and puts it safely away in her desk drawer. I think it is safe to say this is when we realize she is in love with Ji Hoo. 

The next day while everyone in the school is outside playing sports, Jan Di gets it in the face with a soccer ball which causes her nose to bleed. While she is cleaning herself up, Jun Pyo comes in and tries to help her. She rejects him again. By the hurt look on Jun Pyo's face I would say that we now know that Jun Pyo has fallen for Jan Di. 

*I have to add this picture because it made me laugh. When I paused the show to write a few things down this is what I came back to.

Now we get to the best part of this whole episode. Or maybe that is just my opinion but I am sure there are MANY girls who will agree with me. The shower scene!!! 

What a way to tease us fangirls right?

The school has planned a cruise trip for the students. Jan Di can not go due to the amount that it costs for the ticket. It looks like Jun Pyo has bought a ticket for her and is upset when she does not show up. Instead, Jan Di and Ga Eul decide to go on a fishing trip. Ji Hoo does not go either because he is meeting Min SeoHyun. 

There is a welcome home party for Min SeoHyun and Jun Pyo invites Jan Di. She once again rejects him but quickly agrees when Ji Hoo invites her. 

The 3 fangirls (although I think it is safe to call the mean girls now) trick Jan Di into wearing a Wonder Woman costume to the party. Jan Di tries to leave once she realizes she has been fooled but ends up hiding behind a food table. The mean-girls come over and try to take off Jan Di's coat, exposing her costume. Jan Di ends up knocking over a table and the whole party sees her. Everyone is in shock. Jun Pyo goes to save her but Ji Hoo gets to her first. Jun Pyo looks really upset. 

Min SeoHyun dresses Jan Di up for the party and also tells her about Jun Pyos' life.

*Min SeoHyun gives us a great quote. "Good shoes will take you to good places!"

When Jan Di walks back into the party, the faces on both Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo are great!

Jun Pyo even drops his plate of food!!

This episode ends with Min SeoHyun telling Ji Hoo to go dance with Jan Di.


This is the episode that got me. Even though the first episode is good, I was not able to really get into it until after this episode so if you are struggling...just keep with it...it gets better from here!
