BBF F4 Talk Show Special

Finally watched the F4 Talk special between episode 17 and 18, when Gu Hye Sun had an accident. It showed the start of the production, recap, NGs, the set and more behind-the-scenes. We also see the actor's real personalities during the interviews and mini-games. They're like the opposites of their roles. The quiet type is actually talkative while the strong types are shy.

Boys Before Flowers

'Kgotboda Namja' ('Boy Before Flowers') - 25 episodes This is the third remake of Yoko Kamio's 'Hana Yori Dango' manga. First, the Taiwanese drama 'Meteor Garden'; second, jdorama 'Hana Yori Dango' and third, the kdrama 'Boys Before Flowers'. Geum Jan Di is a swimmer, part time-waitress and a daughter of a drycleaner who suddenly finds herself enrolled in the prestigious Shin Wa High School and the target of the F4 , meaning of the whole school. Kudos to G8 for producing a very addictive drama. The kdrama version tweaked the original story to their advantage and made most out of the stories of other minor characters. Even if this is the third time that we've seen the story, it doesn't feel predictable and it still has a sense of familiarity. You'll feel a lot of deja vu's especially in scenes like kissing againt the sun or GJP running after the bus. Acting-wise and drama factor, the jdorama is still the best bu...

At first place, no surprise, it's the Kaoro Twins of Ouran High School Host Club. They certainly fooled your hearts with their twincest antics with a whopping 250 votes (73%). The cursed Kiryu Twins of Vampire Knights trailed in second with 117 votes (33%) I don't usually include characters from VK in the polls, but it still provided a weak competition to the previous duo. Tied in 4th are the only fraternal twins among the bunch, the Minimatanis of Honey Hunt with 38 votes (11%) and the axe-swinging Tweedles Dee and Dumb of Heart no Kuni No Alice with 40 votes (11%). In fifth place are the gentle Amiboshi and child-of-war Suboshi ...
