this is one of the reasons i'm looking forward to an american version.there is alot that was acceptable for an asian audience in ALL incarnations of the story that simply wont fly in american. for example in BOF when Gu Jun Pyo drugs and kidnaps jan di to give her a makeover. i get that it's a tv show, but it was seen as acceptable tv show behavior in asia. you cant do that in america. if you did no one would want them to end up together.

even if you take out the overt physical voilence there is a lot of mental abuse. as much as i love all the versions, it is bascially a story about a spoiled boarder line sociopath who bullies a girl into liking him.

have you SEEN any of the other adaptations? they are ALL cheesy and weird in their own way.

my sis cant stand subtitles

how do you plan on getting people who have never heard of BOF interested in this. also, will the title change at all? to those outside of drama land the title probably wont make much sense.

there are a lot of purists in drama land, but I think there are just as many people who enjoy a well made show, no matter what language it's in.

nooooo!!!! and that would be awesome!!!!

east coast

when will this air?

i had to try

asian people remake american movies all the time. not too long ago i watched a chinese remake of what women want. there were moments during BOF/MG/HYD (and some other dramas too) that the cultural divide made it LESS entertaining. sometimes for me, though i love asian drama, the gender roles can get extremely tiresome as can the emense influence of "the elders."

will you tell us which dramas :P ?

1: one of the reasons the korean version is my favorite is that it had the best production value. in meteor garden and hana yori dango the sets/locations props and costumes really didn't ooze wealth the way BoYs Over Flowers did. if you meet your funding goal will you be able to create that kind of feel?

2: if this is sucessful, might we hope to see other dramas get an american redo?

when i found out that he was alive i was so excited, thinking to myself, "if he wakes up it will totaly be worth it!" yea, that lasted all of 45 minutes. this is the 1st drama since big that legit got me angry. when he died i was SOOOO mad!

this drama had so much potential. i've hung in there waiting and waiting for it to find it's footing and redeem itself, but after ep 15 i just have to admit, the ship has sunk and the final episode will be no more than the last bubbles sadly breaking the surface.

i want to watch this but i really super hate sad endings!

i think suince the 3 of the main actors are gaining in popularity we might see some more subs of this soon. Fingers crossed.

i think in hae is an example to all k-drama heroines. see writers, she can be all flowy and weepy and vulnerable without being a spinless sponge.

just you doesnt set out to be the greatest drama ever. it sets out to be a funny, entertaining watch from the taiwanese perspective and it does so quite well.

i agree most of us have no reason to know, but running ads is expensive, and the more people who will be able to see it the more expensive it is. Viki was already running ads.
