Yoon Ji Hoo is an autistic introvert who doesn't mind being less social and coming across as odd whereas Gu Jun Pyo is an extroverted autist who gets very easily frustrated that social interactions don't go as planned change my mind

Boys Over Flowers episodes never end, this is still just episode ONE

Commentary for Boys Over Flowers episode 1, part 2

RANT:

{BOYS OVER FLOWERS}

Warning: Unpopular Opinion

I hear things like:

Ji hoo was better,

jihoo suited jandi,

Ji hoo and jandi had a meaningful bond

blah blah blah

now i want real talk.

Why tf was Ji hoo given more screentime?

You blink, Ji hoo is onscreen.

Jihoo breathe, the romantic bgm starts playing for jihoo-jandi

Jandi is sad Jihoo appears

Jandi is happy, Jihoo appears

Jandi thinks of junpyo, jihoo appears

Jandi exists, ji hoo appears.

all this, and totally not in a cute way. he was given more screentime, better story, better scenes, better romance, better background story, better everything. (except the hairstyle. it was ugly asf). but the question is.. WHY?

Why was the main male character totally sidelined in his OWN show?

Yes. I am questioning the writers and makers of this show.

Jandi-Junpyo barely had romantic scenes, bonding through understanding scenes and every other thing... all of it was given to the second lead. There was no proper introduction to junpyo's childhood and background story like it was for ji hoo.

The FL spends 80% of her time in the show with second lead and people wonder why alot of people can't connect with junpyo-jandi's chemistry.

I still am traumatized with those scenes where The FL again n again breaks ML's heart, betrays him, and treat him as if he isn't important and he is just playing around with her. ML literally spends his time with her family, tries to make her feel special, is thoughtful about her feelings and family issues, gives her the space she needs and even though he was an asshole first but later it was jandi herself who accepted his approach and didn't deny him... then goes to sml.. then again realizes and still doesnt acknowledges ML's feelings and his efforts , he literally puts his efforts to make her happy and to be with her and she says "i guess he is TRYING"

even till the last episode, unnecessarily, sml was still around. after 14-15 episodes, he just became a nuisance cuz if they are not gonna end up together or jandi has fell for junpyo and junpyo being the main character... WHY WAS JIHOO TAKING SO MUCH SCREEN TIME???

Okay now i am just ranting but my point is.. was it the writers plan? was ji hoo the one who was the ml? why tf would the writers do that?

people like ji hoo because his character was given more screentime, depth, meaning, understanding for the viewers.. and still jun pyo overshadowed.

like,, i still can't believe this is a 25 episode drama . maybe it is longer but they later edited it out for 25 episodes? the sidelining of literally the main character is so fucking terrible . i feel so sorry for lee minho.. but so happy that his talent was recognised with this show.

Maybe the jihoo actor was more famous back then? idk what it is about him that made writers/makers do that but all i can say is the whole jihoo plot, his story, bond with jandi and his unnecessarily too much screentine was a nuisance. Totally annoying. i literally had to skip some scenes and watch it after i ended the drama, and still his scenes hold no value. and still kinda confused why junpyo was done dirty like that.

ps: I literally can't hate Gu Jun Pyo after watching this show. No matter how many people say he was toxic and a red flag.. it is jun pyo you will feel bad for cuz it was not ONLY junpyo who was toxic. Jandi, ji hoo were major red flags too.

A shout out to one of my favorite stories from Yoko Kamio (MANGA/ANIME)

Several countries have brought there own version of this story. I'm sure fans have their favorites. But I have an appreciation for all these actors and their version of DOMYOUJI TSUKUBA. So here they are..

Number 1: Made into a movie in Japan in 1995, this version isn't as popular. It did not follow the full story of the trials and tribulations gone through by Domyoji & Makino. But it had its own charm. Domyoji Tsukuba was played by SHOSUKE TANIHARA

Number 2: The first series in live action went to Taiwan. In 2001 it went from Hana Yori Dango to Meteor Garden. It was followed by a sequel Meteor Garden 2 after Meteor Rain. Domyouji Tsukuba name was changed to Daoming Si and Taiwanese dynamo JERRY YAN step into this iconic role.

Number 3: Japan decided to step back into the game with a series version that blew the 1995 movie out of the water. Back to the original name HANA YORI DANGO (aka BOYS OVER FLOWERS) it was 2005. A sequel in 2007 called HANA YORI DANGO RETURNS and a final movie in 2008. Domyouji Tsukuba was played by multi-talented JUN MATSUMOTO.

Number 4: Then it was SOUTH KOREA next. BOYS OVER FLOWERS came out in 2009. Domyouji Tsukuba became GU JUN-PYO. And was played by popular South Korean actor LEE MIN-HO.

Number 5: Another Remake with a much milder story but still damn good IMO. Once again the name changed to Meteor Garden as China did a remake of the Taiwanese version. And of course Domyouji Tsukuba became Daoming Si again. And newbie actor DYLAN WANG took on the role. And he was A M A Z I N G!!

In conclusion this is an iconic story and will probably will continue to be remade with a new name for Domyouji and his lady love Makino and the rest of the F4. But no matter what I will always have an appreciation for the characters. I may not like every version but I won't slam it. I just won't watch it.

For fans who choose to diminish these men and their outstanding performance by saying BEST ADAPTATION YET for their favorite is ridiculous. One is not better than the other. They are all BEST ADAPTATIONS. Each actor brought their best. And should be applauded. Each version should appreciated.

So to all the men here that played DOMYOUJI or DAOMING SI or GU JUN-PYO. YOU DID MARVELOUSLY ALL OF YOU.

@pose4photoml I posted this a long time ago. Just tagging you to check it out.
