Characters:
Kimberly Ann Voltemas are known for her sassy and bratty roles as a rich heiress Nangek roles (like in "Rang Prattana" and "Buang Hong") and i can honestly say no one could have done better the portrayal of Pimchanok better than her.Kimmy shows Pim`s spirit and stubborness through her cold manevours,and her vulnerability and longing through her soul-ful eyes and tears,and does find deep emotional dvelopement througout this story.She is a brave and noble heroine that are willing to risk her own life to find justice for the people she loves. And i totally loved the clothes she wore as Pim.
Boy Pakorn (i also love him in "4 Hearts behind the Mountains") gives out his harder and more serious side in his portrayal of Lieutenant Natee, who against his will have to become Pim`s bodyguard.His work is his life,and together with his more carefree cousin Tiger,he never hesitates to take on dangerous missions to save people.We watch him change through his love for Pim,and being the first man who stands up against her bitchiness,he is also the one who always have to save her ass when she brings trouble to herself.
Not Vorarit plays the loyal gay-side-kick in the character of Jae Charlee who supports Pimchanok on every nail and tooth.He is the funny and flirty male-friend everyone wish for,and i just loved his sassyness and humor.He is 10 times more girly than Pim ever was,and i love how Natee and Tiger was joke-threatening to scare him off his gay-flirting,haha!
The veteran actress Yardthip Rachapol plays the gentle but mysterious co-star of Pim,Nethkamon who does appear to be nice and proper from the start.She falls in love with Natee after he saves her,but knowing that Natee and Pim love each other,she suffers from unrequited love.
The paranormal element comes with the ghost of Nam played by Belle Nanthikarn who grew up with Pim together in the orphanage but gets adopted earlier than Pim,therefore they got separated.She is the most pitiful and tragic character in the whole story,and becomes a guide in her ghost-form for Pim to find the real culprit.She is said to have been loved and wanted by many men during her life,among them Danai and Pipat,but according to my opinion she had only been the release of their lust.They never did anything to protect and cherish her,and never sought out any revenge or justice for her murder...so much for their "love".I can feel for Pim`s pain in losing her only sister and friend she ever had.I do feel for the loss of Nam`s tragic fate.She had suffered so much in life.
Romance:
Boy and Kimmy have amazing chemistry on-screen,and delivered the dynamics well between Pim and Natee. We love how they fight,bicker and kiss. Together with the supporting character,we root for this couple from the start. The second lead romance are between Tiger and Orn-they were so cute! I just love their natural friends-to-lovers romance. I can also hope that Jae will find his soulmate soon....he damn well deserves it!

This movie made me laugh my tears off and laugh my ass off. I loved every minute of it, and i consider Yaya and Sunny the true stars of this movie. Their portrayal as the siblings Jane and Chut has everything you would dream of, and me having a brother i also would like to kill sometimes (kiddin about the killin,but he does drive me mad) i actually could symphatize with Jane. You can also hear Yaya talk japanese many times, and watch her with a big pregnant belly! Go For It Yaya!

What a blasting news it was when "Meteor Garden" got released in 2018 and it took me 2 years to find the right time to finally sit down and watch in on Netflix.I have been so much busy with studying and catching up with my life that i haven`t simply had the time.But watching this new version of "Boys over Flowers" and re-capturing all the moments of struggle,heartbreak,unrequited love,love-triangles and friendship and love between the main-heroine and the legendary F4 members was fun and entertaining and romantic!I never get tired of this story,as i have watched (and loved) the earlier korean,japanese and taiwanese adaptions of "Boys over Flowers".
This is a hate-to-love romance about the star-crossed lovers Daoming Si and Dong Shancai.The romance is high,and so is the drama.If you want high-school drama,love-triangles,irresistible male-leads,kidnapping,bullying,threats of Joker cards,main-leads stranded on a Island,attempted murderer,blackmail, competitions and a male-lead who swears that he will follow his heroine to the end of Mars if he have to...this 2018 version of "Meteor Garden" has it all..so look no further!
I was at first worried if Dylan Wang could pull off the beloved character of the bad boy heir Daoming Si like Jerry Yan,Jun Matsumoto and Lee Min-ho did in their adaptions of the character.But wow how he astounded me with his devilish smile and charm.Dylan did great in expressing his undying love for the first girl who have ever stood up against 4F,his beloved Shancai played by Shen Yue.Shen Yue is a incredible actress who pulled off the character of Shancai with honorable dignity and spirit.The chemistry between the co-stars are super,which really made me stuck with this story from the first episode.Dylan and Shen on-screen are fireworks and i never tired of watching them together!
"If apologies worked,why would we need the police" -Daoming Si (a famous quote this character uses in every version of BOF)
Daoming Si is rich,arrogant and impulsive and the leader of 4F.He is one of the most beloved Anti-heroes in Asianovela with his passionate outbursts in pain and love,his loyalty and devotion to the people he love.He is a guy who destroys everything against him,as he tries to do with Shancai before realizing that he loves this spirited girl early on in the story.His temper and cruel antics is what really hurts Shancai from the start,especially when he out of raging jealousy forcefully kissess her.Her tears makes him realize that he can`t go on that way anymore.In bullying and hurting her...he only made her hate stronger.Her love for his best-friend,the calmest of the F4 Huaze Lei (played by Darren Chen) is heartbreaking for Daoming Si to bear,but he insists on wooing Shancai and tries to win her heart in the only way he can.Its a beautiful journey where we watch Daoming Si redeem himself,with the guidance of his F4 friends and mostly his love for Shancai.He is defenitely my favourite character in this series!(AND in all the other versions of BOF)
"Because you`re the only one I`m willing to trade all the meteors in the sky for" -Daoming Si
Shancai is the perfect match for the mighty Daoming Si,but doesn`t know it until later on.With heR strong will and strength,she fights on toe to toe against Daoming Si and never surrenders.What she doesn`t know is that he will be the one to surrender due to his irrevocable love for her.Her youthful crush for Lei is painful to watch (in every versions) but the actress had good chemistry with Darren Chen and there are many cute scenes with them.And how glad i was when Daoming Si finally succeeded in catching Shancais heart!Shancai and Daoming Si are incredible characters that complements and are perfection together.They speak the same language,touch the same way,walks the same and breathes the same.They are in one bubble no one can destroy,and they are soulmates that are fated to be mated.So many challenges and heartbreak these two had to over-come...but Oh how bittersweet it was!I loved it!What a beautiful couple with a beautiful love-story!!!
I love the 4F gangs in all adoptions of "BOF",and the characters of Daoming Si,Huaze Lei, Yan Ximen and Feng Mei Zuo are all talented,handsome,seductive,irresistible young males that made my heart beat faster!I love Daoming Si`s childish nature..where he is the dark bad boy everyone fears but has a golden heart hidden deep down.Huaze Lei with his musical nature and looks of innocence,he smiled like an angel and i was done for!Yan Ximen with his casanova ways of charm and seduction swooned me with his uprightness and loyalty.Mei Zuo are kind of cheeky and fun with his ironic remarks and usually only dates older women.All these four men are absolutely amazing creatures and i envy Shancai for befriending them and stealing the leaders heart.
"Dong Shancai.I like you...i don`t know why.Even i am surprised by how much i like you.No matter where i go,you`re the only person i see...Shancai,i know that i am annoying.If you want to run away then i will chase after you.If you run to Mars,i will still chase you to Mars." -Daoming Si

Echoes of Love is actually pieces of Shattering Glassess.
Literally a metaphor to what a trainwreck was being executed from the get go. Do you find it credible? No. But neither could i look away. You can never go wrong with Liang SiWei as the Male Lead especially when he portrays a unpredictable Anti-hero who harbors a soothing hatred for his older brother. And he kissess his female heroine like he MEANS BUSINESS! And he hates it even more that the heroine he is passionately in love with is harboring some sweet affections for him. This is a love-triangle and it is DEADLY. You don`t know what is going to happen next. Get the popcorns ready...cuz this still felt like a deliciosu snack for the evening. It is sweet sweet, dark dark, crazy crazy.But so so good! Just be ready for it, Cuz i wasn`t.

This lakhorn is pure entertainment and joy from start to the end.Andrew Gregson amazes me in everything he does on-screen and he totally nailed the role of Tong.I have never seen him play such a goofy character.He brought out both the bold carefree gesture of Tong while also showing off his sensitive side so well.Andrew made Tong freaking adorable!It makes it even better with how handsome of a actor Andrew is!I love him so much!I am also a great fan of Aom,she is so beautiful and acts so well on-screen and her chemsitry with Andrew was wonderful!I love how they go from staring at each other to actually talking and then writing letters to each other.Both could be so shy with each other,so cute!On the front,there is not that much romance although its central to the story.But it didn`t take away my enjoyment of it since this is a really well done lakhorn in acting,directing and writing.I love all the other cast also.Tong`s friends Luen and Bang are both so funny!Love every scene with them!The moments with Tong arguing with Gim Lung`s mother was HILARIOUS!Never could stop laughing when Tong was provocing her all the time! I also enjoyed the moments with Hong and Ting,their fun bickering and conversations.Everything was hilarious and over the top sometimes,but it was entertaining nonethless.No wonder this became a hit by the time it aired,i will miss all the characters so much!

What a fine drama! "You are beautiful" followed a cult status in Korea after its weeks of airing, and even have its remakes after that. It has its hilarious moments and the music is so wonderful that my heart warmed by it. With its classic plot of a girl that has to pose as a boy due to reasons, and her falling for the male-lead during it.Shin-hye did a remarkable job playing as the innocent and gentle Mi-nyeo and even managed to pull of her twin-brother Minam in ep 15 so well that i crushed on him,haha!The arrogant male-lead and leader of the band A.N.Jell Hwang Tae-kyung was played by Jang Keun-suk who did a great job in showing the angst of a neglected son.I love the way he also adored Mi-nyeo, and the way he woos her without knowing. The others in the band (who also falls for Mi-nyeo) are the gentle Shin-woo and the bubbly Jeremy, no wonder many had second lead syndrome in this drama,because these guys are just golden!

There are many adaptions based on this the manga "Hana Yori Dango" but the japanese version in MY opinion are the best one. It stays true to its story and the characters. Makino and Domyjoji are characters i love with all my heart and their blossoming love-story stays beautiful the whole time. They have an incredible chemistry, and the brotherhood of F4 always leave me to tears, they are such good friends, and by stealing the leaders heart, Makino also become a great friend to the all other guys. I have lost count on how many times i have watched this drama. I L.O.V.E and A.D.O.R.E this series with all my heart..!

The other adaptions are simply terrible for me. In this drama he is extremely possessive and protective of Mika, even willing to go as far as killing another person for her. He is simply one of my favourite on-television heroes ever, and Mika with her passion and strength i simply adored her. Mika and Hiro together joins into a journey where they experience the most truth in pain, passion, jealousy, and the beauty of love. It has its drama and angst, and the ending made me cry rivers...so much like never before. I love Mika and Hiro so much, and their pure undying love totally undid me.!

It`s a very powerful romantic drama,despite not having "that much" romance in it.It revolves around three people.One woman and two men who loves her.This drama is based on a novel and also has a manga adaption by Ming Xiao Xi who also have put out some quotes in the every start of every episodes of the drama.Its deepful meanings about love and relationships.It also shows that every episode resembles a greater meaning behind it.
Yin Xia Mo (played by Barbie Hsu) is the FL,a heroine who resembles like no other.She is not the supernaive and sacrificial character,nor is she a bratty snob.She has such patience for life that it shatters you,because life has given her none of that.Strength and bravery lies in her heart,and the deep need to survive in a hypocritical world where she trusts nobody.Her younger half-brother is a link that sways her away from madness,and the one soul she loves the most.For him she is ready to kill anyone who harms him ,and even accept punishment that serves her in jail.She is considered to be cold-hearted and manipulative by the people around her,but deep inside her heart she is just longing for happiness.We as viewers just have to applaud over her courage for that.
Luo Xi (played by Huang Xiaoming) is the charismatic devil-like orphan who also has manipulative and selfish characteristics like Xia Mo,especially for survival.He is cynical,sarcastic and two-faced from the start,just to not let anyone near him,and for him to not let himself care.That falls apart when he gets to know his foster-sister Xia Mo,and falls madly and unhappily in love with her.He is a tortured soul whose mother abandoned him in a amusement park,that grave betrayal has scarred him for life,until he loses his heart to Xia Mo.He can be considered as a tragic hero for many,but for me he is a tortured soul that (just like Xia Mo) earns for happiness,and he is brave enough to follow it.
The greatest reason i always re-watch this drama is because of Peter Ho`s portrayal of the eccentric,mighty alpha-male of a tycoon Ou Chen who has lived a lonely and cold life as long as he can remember.As a young teenager he befriends and falls in love with Xia Mo,but his possessive and controlling nature creates a strain in their relationship later in High-School.I love that Ou Chen never wavered in his love for Xia Mo,even when he suffered amnesia his heart still longed for Xia Mo.His love for her was his ruin...and his cure.He loved her so much that he couldn`t live without her.Nothing meant anything without her.I love him so much.He shines through every scenes,and has the brooding irresistible quality about him...and every time he looked at Xia Mo,my stomach just tickled like crazy.His love for Xia Mo was so powerful that it could easily destroy him.He is the Anti-hero you can`t help but love,and he lets nothing stand in his way in his pursuit of his beloved Xia Mo.Peter Ho should have got an Oscar for his performance,this man really fascinated me!!!
