Boys Before Flowers Episode 3

I like how this drama is paced—fast & exciting, albeit tainted with flaws. I don’t know for some people, but I don’t think you get drunk that fast with one (short) glass of heavy liquor. When Jandi and Junpyo were at the bar, Junpyo went to the bathroom after his shameless confession to Jandi, when he came back, he found Jandi inebriated. How long was he in the bathroom, anyway? It’s not that he did something that required so much attention, he just wanted to escape from Jandi and catch his breath for a second. I know it takes 3 tall glasses of Singapore Sling to get me drunk—with straw. I didn’t see a straw with that drink, Jandi must’ve really low tolerance with alcoholic beverages then. Teeny tiny detail, but must be brought to attention to avoid further mishaps.

Ranting again with the Jandi makeover. I like her look in Seo Hyun’s birthday party, but must they do the curls again with that ugly canary dress? Why do they always ahjummafy a character that’s supposed to be in her late teens, early twenties? I know Makino should be plain looking, but a little vanity wouldn’t hurt. All the boys get to be beautiful ALL THE TIME, share some of that beauty with Jandi—ever heard of hair extensions?

Jihoo is the weakest link in this drama, along with Jandi. Jihoo is the underacting to Jandi’s overacting. I see the potential in Kim Hyun Joong, especially in his scene with Han Chae Young, but he isn’t Rui—yet! They should tone down Go Hye Sun’s facial expressions, they border on overacting or ridiculous. She’s not entirely irritating coz she has some moments too. Lee Min Ho is da bomb! He’s a better Tsukasa than Jerry Yan in MG, his expressions are on the spot and his eyes can act too—anyone who can act with their eyes is a certified actor. I expect great things from Lee Min Ho (is this his first project?). Kim Joon and Kim Beum, on the other hand, have very few scenes it’s hard to tell, but no complaints here!

OMFG! Chairwoman Kang made my flesh crawl! I have not been scared of the horror movies I’ve seen so far, but Madam Kang gives me the creeps. Her stares are like laser beams that can turn you into goo in a nanosecond. Wouldn’t want to even be in the same room or country with her. No wonder Junpyo was violent, his mom probably gave/gives him a hard time—evident on how he called her “witch”.

The Geum family was cute at first, but they’re starting to get on my nerves. I know that they should be rude and lacking with manners because they’re commoners, but everyone knows that you must say “thank you” after getting a present. Poor Jandi!

Me likey the jealous Gu Junpyo, clearly shows how madly in love he is with Jandi. He ALMOST pillaged her! Liked that scene, but I liked the one in MG much better—the passion and intensity that made me believe that Dao Ming Si is totally in love with San Cai. Love can bring out the best and worst in you, MG showed both. Although it was present in BBF too, the one in MG made me fully understand the difference of both.

Loved! Loved! Loved! Loved! Junpyo’s confession to Jandi. “Looks-zero, brains-zero, background-zero. But in my book, you got full marks!” Or something like that, I was too distracted with the scene to even read the subs. I bet I’ll give myself a carpal tunnel syndrome once this drama ends from rewinding and rewinding and rewinding. What a way to pick up a girl. I don’t think I’ll appreciate it if someone used that line with me, unless he’s Lee Min Ho of course.

Looking forward to a marathon of BBF this weekend. No school and work…yehey!
