I feel that college kids wouldn't really care enough to do all of this bullying, especially to the extent that…
Maybe, I just don't understand why the high school kids would care, either. Since Thyme even said himself that they're not forcing anybody to bully, they just allow it, so what would make it much different for university students? High School bullies stay bullies in university. I'm sure that corruption and financial threat and bribe are also pretty common at universities, especially because universities have more political influence.
Thinking about your comment a little more... I wonder what country has university students who "take full blame…
Ah well, you're right. I thought too idealistic. I'm from Germany, and it's not like it perfectly applies here either. In the general sense, "they are still so young and didn't know better" is an argument that would only work if that person is still underage, which would be under 18, but you can go to junior prison until you're 21. "Full blame" may be what's wrong with my statement, because it implies a standard punishment for certain crimes, instead of their negotiation, which is mostly the case I think. As a teenager in high school you are still under the projection of your legal guardian and the final sentence would be lighter than compared to a university student whose supposed to be a responsible adult with the given knowledge of the weight of their crime.
But yeah, F4 is not about realism, maybe that's why I hate it every time. I just thought, that since nobody cares at university and there is more chance for anonymity it would be easier to just brush the crimes under the bush and hide it away, whereas in a school setting you have home room teachers that ideally notice and care if something is wrong. I think now I would love a realistic and crime investigation kind of Boys over Flowers, where she doesn't easily forgive and falls in love with him, and he first has to have a good redemption arc. lol.
I'm at ep5 and with every version I think Boys Over Flowers should be set in university. I think that would make more sense, professors generally don't care because you are an adult, you actually have free time to do all that shit, which university you graduate from is more important than which high school, love and dating can be seen more serious, it would really be the last stage for F4 until they need to overtake the family business (not like now, where they are implying that they are graduating from school with 18/19 and then immediately get the position of a CEO), they probably would have more financial liberty with 20 than with 17, and they've literally been drinking every episode while underage... I guess, their only reason for setting it in high school is because it's easier to forgive underage kids for the bullying because they were "falsely educated" and "mislead" and "didn't know better" instead of university students who are seen as mature and adult and take full blame when they are proven guilty with any kind of criminal charges.
I feel like I won't like this because of Xu Xiao Nu. I don't think she is a bad actress, I just know that I've never enjoyed her characters even a little. I think she misses some charm for me personally.
I found Lee Jun Young hot before, but something about him in the trailer... I dunno why, maybe it's the haircut, maybe his puppy eyes, but somehow he's got hotter.
Means that the lead has multiple characters in love or interested in them, instead of just the typical first and second love interest. And here we have 5.
I wish I could experience watching this for the first time. 10/10, everything was perfect. They really knew what story and concept they were going for. From production to acting to story, everything 1000/10
It's gay - but make it straight. Is there anyone who actually likes body swap? I mean, it can be done nicely, it just mostly isn't. Let's hope it's only temporary, like some comments say-.
