꽃보다 남자 (Boys Over Flowers) - YIIIEEEEeeee!

I feel like a teenager watching this new KBS drama called 꽃보다 남자 (Kodtpoda Namja) or Boys Over Flowers. It is based on a bishojo Japanese Manga of the same name (花より男子 Hana Yori Dango by Yoko Kamio ). Some of you (who watch tv dramas) may remember a rather famous Taiwanese drama called Meteor Garden some years back. That was also based on the same manga.

With the latest tv version, I must say in comparison to the Taiwanese one, the guys are much cuter/hotter whatever. It makes watching the show much more enjoyable! Kee Kee Kee!!! What I like about the show is that it is also humourous and the producers add those funny cartoony sounds at just the right moments. What a way to spend a few mind numbing hours on the couch!

Sypnopsis: The story surrounds 4 tall, good looking and rich teenagers called F4 (Flower 4) who go to a privileged school. The protagonist is Geum Jan Di (Koo Hye Sun), a dry cleaners daughter who through a life saving feat gets into the school. Although she comes for a totally different world, acts like a clumsy tomboy most of the time and is totally unaware of her own 'cuteness', she ends up being the love interest between the leader of F4 Gu Jun Pyo (Lee Min Ho) and his best friend (another F4 member) Yoon Ji Ho (Ki Hyun Joong).

Not wanting to ruin the rest of the drama for you, catch it on DVD soon (as it is still showing here in Korea), or you can find the torrents online (with Eng Subs) or just go to YouTube. Some Drama Addicts have already uploaded the episodes with Eng Subs.

Meanwhile, here is a YouTube video giving a preview of the story:
