Boys Before Flowers

From Left to Right: Kim Joon, Lee Min Ho, Ku Hye Sun, Kim Hyun Joong, and Kim Sang Bum


Quite awhile now, my friends have been trying to talk me into watching Korean Dramas, and I even watched a few episodes of one. This one; however, stole my heart. I've watched it religiously for about two weeks now, but I warn you it is an emotional roller coaster. These characters have made me smile and giggle so much and have even brought tears a few times. I took each scene in and let myself live in the moment with characters Song Woo Bin , Goo Jun Pyo, Geum Jan Di, Yoon Ji Hoo, and So Yi Jung (Character names in pic. from left to right). The actors portrayed the characters so well and they were so adorable. There is no way for me to decide which one I loved the most :)

This show sparked my interest when I saw a preview about bully and his friends in a high school and a girl who sees him for what he is and calls him out. Needless to say, it was on and it doesn't stop. Since I have watched this drama, Boys Before Flowers (also seen as Boys over Flowers), I look forward to watching more Korean Dramas. One of my friends says many have similar themes, which I hope to notice as I watch and learn more. My interest in being able to understand Korean is a little stronger too. I should actually know more than two words of it, but I regret not becoming more involved in the culture of a couple of my roommates when I lived in the dorms in college. They were Korean and it was a lot of fun getting to know them. I remember for one of my birthdays, one of them had a mini birthday celebration with me and her friends. She gave me a small glass with Korean written on it and a few Korean coins. Yeah, I really do regret learning only hello and good night. :( Time will only tell as to whether or not I learn more :)

Granted, it is like 4 am as I write this. Even so have a wonderful night :) 

Jal Ja!
