I love your review and it's so true but I still enjoyed it. Plus and this is a real question b/c as someone new to kdramas and other Asian dramas the recapping/flashback scenes are very annoying but I see them in all the dramas. Why is that a plot device in all of them? And why do they take up so much time?
The only 2 reasons I'm still watching. Shockingly tho I'm in it more for Song Yoon Ah than Ji Chang Wook cause…
You are not alone; her secretary is most definitely in love with her. I am too she's beautiful and I love that she gets to play the villain as a flawed but graceful and dignified woman.
Really like your review and I LOL with this take "Note to self, whenever a drama gets you super excited with its first couple of episodes, rest assured you will be disappointed!"
Agree 100% about Song Yoon Ah. She is great in this so I am looking forward to see her other work. I'm only 6 eps in and the series if definitely annoying but I'm staying for Song Yoon Ah plus I'm in love with Ji Chang Wook.
I like your review and agree 100% watch all the version if you can there are aspect about each version that I love and hate and multiple boys that I have fallen in love with b/c of this series. I love Darren Chen and Vic Chou as Rui; I love Dylan Wang, Jerry Yan and Lee Min Ho as Domyoji. I love Vaness Wu too. So many boys to love!!!
I have similar feelings and I completely hate the ending of BOF plus Jan-Di never says she love Jun Pyo to his face or ever if I recall (currently rewatching) and that just ruins it for me. I hate the wedding in MG b/c it was this dream sequence thing that I didn't understand or like plus I kept thinking where are her parents.
I'm never a 2nd ML person so I was ok with Ji hoo not getting the girl.
I loved the clothes in both series but definitely agree that BOF were dapper gents!
Plotwise you are correct the MG is the better story. It follows the manga almost to a T. So I love that about MG. BOF IMO takes too many liberties with the story that don't make since plotwise but ultimately doesn't destroy the essence of the story.
last but not least yiu are 100% correct about that unnecessary Mei Zuo storyline. It ruined the flow of MG and I have rewatched multiple times and always skip that nonsense.
Great article. Thanks for this I was looking to see what new Kdramas I could start. This website and the articles I have read here keep me fascinated and coming back for more. I appreciate all the people here who just want to share good tv/movies and their culture with other people who want to learn and enjoy.
LOL! I actually love Jun-pyo's hair in BOF plus by the end of the series they hardly curled it as much. However I hated So Yi-jung hair; it looked like a damn wig. It made him look older than everyone else and he was the youngest male cast member.
Yes this was a super cute story and I really enjoyed it to. This is the first drama I've watched with Danson Tang but he is a hottie so I am now going to watch his back catalog. Also, that las t scene was super annoying.
Agree 100% But even though the plot wholes and script writing is terrible I was still going with most of it. Agree at about episosde13/14 I started to hate watch. The relationship between Na Na and Yoon Sung was too much for me to take and then killing the prosecutor i was damn near my limits; but that ending has a lot of explaining to do!!
