Withdrawal Syndrome

I have not watched the last episode of BBF yet. I want to watch it & I also don't want to watch it. Although this drama gave me a mixture of emotions--mostly disappointment, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the BTS--Behind The Scenes. One doesn't have to understand or learn Hangul to decipher Minho's & Hyesun's actions off camera. I've heard how they denied rumors of dating each other, but their actions off camera speak otherwise. Don't worry Minho and Hyesun, no one's going to get mad if you two hook up--actually, a lot of people are saying prayers & offering sacrifices for you to couple up in real life.

I want to delay watching the last 2 episodes as much as possible. It's because of this idea that if I didn't watch it, it ain't over yet. But I have to watch it at some point, I know. But not now, I'm still in denial that BBF is now over. And I have a paper to finish.

Boys Before Flowers Episode 23

A half-ass job--that's how episode 23 turned out. The only people working in this drama are the actors, especially Minho and Hyesun. I'm too tired and too hungry to even rant about this episode.






Last episode, they ruined Woobin's suit. This time, they ruined Jihoo's make up. Anymore things to ruin? If they listened to me about how they prolonged annoying pop-up's stay, then they wouldn't be rushing. It's retarded how Jandi can act so sweetly towards Junpyo and even tell him she loves him, then be cold to him at the end of the day. That's a serious case of PMS! Or maybe they're trying to portray Jandi as bipolar too!

There's goes another lip-pressing! Shall we have Junpyo's pituitary gland checked? He's a man and he hasn't been getting any, his hormones should drive be telling him to GET LAID!

Who's that comatose man Jandi was reading to? I bet he's Junpyo's DEAD daddy! Wow! Spawn of Satan, you have really outdone yourself!

Killer line came from grandma: "Just because one is born a man, it doesn't mean everyone is a real man. Because losing is regrettable, because backing off is unfair, because running away is embarrassing, and because you've accumulated time after overcoming your weak self. Through these trials, that's how you become a real man." Junpyo, I know you're not dumb as you make it out to be, grandma just told you to grow some balls and fight for the woman you love. I bet when your daddy and spawn of Satan were creating you, daddy only gave you the Y chromosome and forgot to give you balls. Jandi has more balls than you.

Jandi, I applaud you for going like that against the spawn of Satan. You got your moxie back, Yipppeeee! I was quite disappointed that you didn't give her your famous spinning kick. The look on the spawn of Satan's face when Jandi was giving it to her...another Kodak moment!

I feel bad for Junpyo for having a mom like the spawn of Satan. If I had a mom like her, I'd commit suicide, I don't want to commit myself to a lifetime of misery!

Another crapstatic episode. I miss the earlier episodes of this drama, they were very well written and wonderfully-executed! Watching this drama is like enjoying fine dining in a French restaurant and going home with a diarrhea!

Boys Before Flowers Episode 22

Annoying pop-up objects at her own wedding (THANK YOU! But I still don't like you), the F3 and Ga Eul concur while Junpyo looked like he'd rather be somewhere else.I would like to take a picture of the spawn of Satan while Junpyo was walking the aisle and put it in a frame and take another picture when annoying pop-up dropped the bomb, frame it and put it next to the picture of her while Junpyo was walking the aisle, then we can play "SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!"

The show's about to finish, yet Yijung's still not done with his angst. Come on, Mr. Producer! We get it, Kim Bum is sooooooo good with dramatic scenes, now, can we move on? If we take all of Yijung's angsty scenes from this drama, we can make a new drama.

The scriptwriter's probably inlove with Jandi and Jihoo's lovestory, they have more scenes together than Junpyo and Jandi. Can we wrap up the whole Jihoo-Jandi thing now? It's tiring jumping from one ship to another!

Mr. Producer! I don't know what you have against romantic scenes, but LIP PRESSING ISN'T KISSING! Look that up in Guide to Romance handbook, you wouldn't miss it 'coz it's on the first page, in BIG, BOLD LETTERS!

Bravo! Annoying pop-up for getting dumb and dumber back together and setting up a romantic night for the two of them. I would like you if you'll stay in New York and NEVER POP-UP EVER AGAIN!

I so love Jihoo's grandpa right now, I might want him to end up with Jandi. Strangely, Jihoo isn't the only one with superhearing powers, looked like grandpa has that power too. It really runs in the blood. When grandpa stepped in to Jandi and the spawn of Satan's confrontation, he implied that he wants Jandi to end up with Jihoo. Boy, you should've seen the smile on the spawn of Satan's face. That smile could the war, hunger and may even be the answer to poverty!

We object! Woobin, what happened to your outfit? You should fire your stylist for putting you through that monstrosity!

Running late to your wedding, Goo Junpyo or running off to Jandi?

The couple's first dance...as...a couple!
"Let's press our lips together and call it a KISS!"
Goo Junpyo: "Jandi-ah! Are you going to be mad if I tell my friends, we did it on that huge bed last night?"
Geum Jandi: "Mad? Hell, no! I even had somebody take pictures to send to your dearest mother!"
Plenty of bromance, but not enough girl-on-girl!
Jihoo: "Wow Jandi! Your legs are like Edward Cullen's body. They dazzle in daylight."

This is Jandi's room? Are they planning to have Jandi sleep on the floor? Where's the freakin' bed?Jihoo isn't just a mushroom, a firefighter,or a musician. He's also a beautician!
Jandi was so elated at Jihoo's revelation, she fainted...AGAIN!
Yes, Woobin! You're skin is such a mess, I can see the blackheads!
Junpyo: "What?"

Junpyo: "Hey kid! Get your hands off her!"
Junpyo: "MINE!"
The kid should've come in a package with a "Handle with care" sign.

Junpyo plotting on how to get rid of the kid so he can have Jandi all to himself.

Boys Before Flowers Episode 21

I'm beyond furious! Sooooo beyond furious, I'm afraid I'll turn into a monster that'll put the spawn of Satan into shame. Mr. Producer must've loved Jaekyung's character so much, he decided to prolong her stay. I wish I could slap a fine on annoying pop-up for overstaying in BBF.

The fiance in MG wasn't a bitch, unlike here in BBF. I admit annoying pop-up had her cool moments prior to this episode. But all those cool moments are overshadowed by her wickedness in this episode. She was such a bitch in this episode, she made the spawn of Satan looked like a cherub. It's one thing fighting for the person you love, it's a totally different world to ask your fiance's girlfriend as your bridesmaid and parade infront of her with your wedding dress on. The cheek of that bitch! I would like to give her a box of sandpaper to scrape off some of those cheek. I would like to pity her when she asked for Jandi's forgiveness, but I felt nothing for her but anger. If she really wants Jandi to forgive her, she should've called off the wedding a long time ago. Annoying pop-up's character had become so twisted, I don't know if I'll be able to find it in my heart to forgive her...EVER! She's like this food that leaves a very bad taste even after thorough brushing.

Junpyo...I wanted to feel sorry for him, coz he's stuck in this rut, but I just can't and I won't. He could easily find ways to unstuck himself from this rut. I can't seem to find Tsukasa in Junpyo. Junpyo is the worst version of Tsukasa, NO THANKS to Mr. Producer who didn't seem to have read the manga. All the love I felt for Junpyo in the previous episode vanished, just like that! The only way for Junpyo to redeem himself is to stop this wedding of the century BY HIMSELF! I don't care if he has to turn the world upside down to call the wedding off, JUST CALL OFF THE DAMN WEDDING! Asking that annoying pop-up to call off the wedding isn't doing it, so Goo Junpyo, you need to find your balls and BE A MAN!

Jandi, I like you. If I were a man, I would totally marry you. But eversince you lost your moxie, I lost interest. You need to stop your Mother Teresa act! BE A MAN and claim your man who isn't much of a man at this time. If none of you can't be man enough to fight for each other, who will? You should've taught that Junpyo a lesson. When you had that wedding photoshoot with Jihoo, you should've made copies, frame them, publish them in the Financial Times or Forbes--I don't really care what you do with them, just make sure those pictures reach Junpyo. Maybe those pictures will grow him a spine and go against the spawn of Satan!

The only beautiful part in this episode was Jihoo and Jandi's photoshoot. I kinda wished they were really getting married just to piss Junpyo. And they were just soooooo beautiful, it's hard to NOT root for them.

I don't feel like finishing this drama anymore.

Boys Before Flowers Episode 20

With Jandi homeless...AGAIN (no thanks to the spawn of Satan), she wanders aimlessly on the street. I think she was trying to reach Jihoo, but Jihoo was busy stalking his grandfather. At first, I thought Jihoo will magically appear AGAIN and will offer help AGAIN! But, thank you so much Jihoo for NOT saving Jandi this time.

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jandi faints...AGAIN! With the nosebleeds and all, nobody has bothered to bring Jandi to the hospital for some labworks and blood tests? Everytime she faints, she always ends up on somebody else's bed, did her parents even worry about their child's "frequent" fainting spells? Soooo Kdrama!

Everytime I see Junhee noona, I know something good is going to happen. I don't know if she does it purposedly, but she always has a way of bringing Junpyo and Jandi back together. She puts a roof above Jandi's head after she fainted on the street. Jandi didn't want to be a freeloader, so she requested to be part of the help. Junhee noona even made Jandi's uniform--which was rather too conservative, with Jandi being Junpyo's personal maid, I hope Junhee noona used a kinkier fabric--LEATHER, anyone? Throw in a whip with that, and since Jandi's best features are her legs and skin, she should've made the hem a little bit shorter and the sleeves...well, why did she even sew sleeves? Jandi's still cute though.

The moment my interest in this drama waned, Mr. Producer redeems himself with this episode. I was so overwhelmed with episode 20, I don't think I'll be able to watch episode 21 after this. I've been so Jundi-deprived, this episode made me forget about Jihoo's secret feelings for Jandi, Yijung's angst & Woobin's cool. Mr. Producer, this is how the next episodes should be like. No more angsts, I've more than enough angst to sustain my remaining existence.

This episode could've been more perfect if they haven't squeezed in annoying pop-up. What's with one episode without annoying pop-up? She's not the lead anyway. Yet, with all the Jundi scenes, I don't even want to waste more breath complaining about her prolonged exposure.

Jandi being Junpyo's personal maid revived my almost-flat lined interest in this drama. All thanks to grandma! At first, I thought she was going to be one of Jandi's worst nightmares. But she proved me wrong. She's like this silent fan of the Jundi loveteam. Did she watch BBF before being casted? I would like to believe she clawed her way into this drama to bring us--her fellow Jundi shippers--an episode almost filled with Jundi scenes.

Funny! The only scenes I can VIVIDLY remember from this episodes are those of Junpyo and Jandi:

-Junpyo and Jandi's bickering...this one I miss the most, reminded me of the earlier and better episodes of BBF
-Junpyo asking Jandi to sit on the chair while he devours the ramyun Jandi prepared
-Jandi falling asleep on the chair, then Junpyo draped a blanket on her, and sat next to her drinking her beauty...aawwww! (READ: I'm grinning as I'm typing this)
-Junpyo bribing Jandi into going to his room to watch a horror movie (so cheesy! LOL)
-Junpyo being scared shitless of the horror movie--I bet that was only an excuse to feel up Jandi
-Junpyo gently caressing Jandi's cheeks and lips (Thank God I'm alone as I'm typing this, or else I'd be in an asylum right now)
-Junpyo carrying the sleeping Jandi to her room. I objected with this one. Why did he have to waste his energy carrying her to her room, when he has a bed big enough for both of them?
-Jandi waking Junpyo up then he suddenly pulled her towards him, causing her to fall on top of him. I even heard Junpyo moaned while he pulled Jandi towards him...or was it my dirty mind playing tricks on me? Another killer line delivered by Junpyo: "Let's stay like this for just 5 minutes. Eventhough I'm holding you like this, I still can't believe you're right in front of me." And then the stares...are they trying to melt each other with those stares? I was sitting when I was watching this, but I felt my knees turned into jelly. I was anticipating a kiss, this would've been a very good position to kiss. I bet they wanted to, but then annoying pop-up lived up to her name and ruined this scene.

I don't even want to waste anymore of my breath with the other scenes. I'll watch episode 21 tomorrow. I'm too happy with episode 20 right now, and I'm afraid the next episode will only ruin my chipper mood.
