Remembering ‘Boys Over Flowers’ when Geum Jan -di falls for the softie Yoon Ji-hoo & we feel this is it! The musician, soft spoken ‘Sonbae’ is just right for her. The feelings are mutual but he is fixated on his first love & loses his chance.
Of the F4, Lee Min ho is the most stylish & arrogant. As the series advances we start falling for him. When he waits for her in the drifting snow, drenched to his skin or confronts her in the park to assert his feelings & gets a NO. A moment arrives when we like him more than Her!
Also when he runs behind her bus crying. Very rarely has anyone been this honest! If it was a Hindi film the bus would have stopped & she would have run to him. But being a Korean drama it continues to the small fishing village at the beach.
Kim So-eun,Kim Hyun joong’s friend gifts Jan-di with shoes. She knows their love for each other.’It will take you places’ Never had I realised what good shoes do to you. A dry cleaner’s daughter, making deliveries & aspiring to be a girlfriend of one of the F4 , realises the importance of good shoes.
When Min ho wishes to give her a pair of shoes she refuses. Sunny then lifts them & carries them with her. She has a thing for Min ho!
The ladies all have a significant role besides Jan di. Probably one of the major reasons why it is one of the best! In Macau, Jan di reaches in search of Min ho where in the party he refuses to acknowledge her. It spirals down from there. He gets injured & has amnesia! Too filmy.
“The Flower of Evil’ has Lee joon- gi having amnesia. He is having tough time as it is. But gradually he regains his memory. Testing times for him & his sister from their childhood is just too much. Do we really attract dark moments with our negative outlook?
After 18 years, Do Hae soo & Kim Moo-jin still have feelings for each other but she leaves for further studies abroad. He remains in touch.
She asks her brother if he loves his wife. He saya no & never have I loved her once since we were married. His wife hears this & is in tears. For a person who cannot understand what love is, it is difficult to express. His frozen emotions need a thaw.
Considering that he cannot think without her, his sister understands what it is. He says yes, she is important. She clarifies importance can shift but she is precious to you. You can never think of losing her! Good for him , he had a sister who could understand his feelings ,but he is unable to express them to his wife!
While watching the show such moments make it worthwhile & also makes us realise how we miss chances & focus on mundane things in life!
