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.

Is the leader of the F4 and heir of the Shinhwa group actually a shedding baby penguin? Why can't he swim? More at 8

[polaris-thehunter]

read somewhere that damian is heavily inspired by domyouji tsukasa of hana yori dango / boys over flowers and i'm loving this reference!! domyouji, gu junpyo and dao ming si all had their own version of "if an apology was good enough, we wouldn't need the police"

enter damian and his version:

If you had to swap lives with the main protagonist of any of the shows on your channel who would you pick and why

Maddie says Ranma, I think that one is self-explanatory

Mer picked either Inuyasha or Sailor Moon (classic choices, very solid)

I pick Boys Over Flowers Jandi, I wanna kick Gu Junpyo in the face

[14dayswithyou]

So basically

Teo Gu Junpyo (boys over flowers) era when?

Or did he have that with Vi💀💀

Cuz I can totally see him pulling a Gu Junpyo on Vi and her just ignoring him out of spite

✦゜ANSWERED: JGKDGDK NOO I WAS A "TO THE BEAUTIFUL YOU" GIRLIE T_T

But!! Teo in middle school was completely different from Teo in high school. He was a lot more open and friendly towards everyone, and it only doubled when he met Violet for the first time. She too was very kind and empathetic towards her peers and Teo genuinely respected that.

But due to... reasons that no one on this blog has figured out yet... Violet chose to ignore him and every effort he made to get to know her. Eventually, that led Teo to become the spoiled brat that he is today (or at least, some form of it), and after Violet took notice, she hated him even more ;w;

I prefer bastards too. In part because of my love of enemies to lovers, in part because my first ML was Gu JunPyo (even now JiHoo can die). I still love Lee MinHo because of BoF, even if he's not the best actor.

girls whose first kdrama was boys over flowers are the ones who grew up into the most big brained women let it be known!! gu jun pyo loved that silly jandi with all of his entire idiotic heart and you can't change my mind ever. i even loved kim tan from the heirs which would probably lead me to get stoned by like 99% of the population but idc that was #my fool in ugly sweaters so yes lee minho is a very fond friend to me who needs a better eye for kdrama scripts

anw now i'm thinking of my other favourite bastard kdrama leads. ji sung in secret love is quite up there he toed the line between deranged/deranged in love very well........and who can forget hyun bin in secret garden.......life changing i fear

Hi so does your f4 series mean it’s gonna end with the same person as jandi did in the show? :o

that's a great question! i generally write "why choose?" style reverse harem/polyamory so the most succinct answer is not entirely. i'm going to keep it as open-ended as possible

johnny does play the role of domyouji/dao ming si/gu junpyo/thyme in this version but even if he shows up he's still taking a backseat to DJJ shenanigans. there's a twist involved in the final entry that we're working up to but it won't be at the expense of the established relationships between you and the rest of the F4

[bitacrytic]

Unpopular opinion:

Jeong Guwon is right up there with Gu Junpyo (Boys over Flowers) and Hwang Taekyung (You are Beautiful) as one of my least favorite male lead characters.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the role he's playing in the story as the stoic protector who has a hidden soft side, but my god!!! Emotionally constipated men disappoint me a little bit.

Honestly, if everyone else in the drama wasn't so phenomenal, I don't know if I'd risk putting myself through this.

Such a Gu Junpyo coded character

OMG IT'S A DAMIAN AND THE BOYS FOCUSED CHAPTER LET'S FUCKING GOOOO

[killrqueen7]

The Boys Over Flowers AO3 is severely lacking in lgbt content. How you gonna watch 4 extremely hot, rich, spoiled friends interact with each other and not feel that tension? ESPECIALLY between Woobin and Yijung. They’re all lgbt & they have all kissed each other, at some point (some more than others WoobinandYijung). The potential is so strong from all angles and it’s just…not there. I see a lot of content for Yi Jung/Ga eul but maybe one or two (if any) for the others??

Am I really going to have to do it myself? Would anyone even read fanfic for a 2009 Kdrama??
