Today, I am going to tell you a story about myself.
I had newly entered the Korean drama fandom. The second drama I watched was BOYS OVER FLOWERS.
It had LEE MIN HO.
The level of perfection was never this perfect.
It was the second drama, so it was hard for me to figure out the normal plot. Till the end, I was at the edge of my seat trying to figure out who gets the girl.
So the drama begins. An unattractive girl (Korean drama representation of unattractive... I tell you... their definition of unattractive is distorted... or maybe I am more unattractive... but whenever they represent their female protagonist as unattractive, each and every time I find them attractive enough to girl-crush on them) who also belongs to a lower middle-class family which runs a small laundry business ends up saving a random stranger at a school reserved for the elites of South Korea. That random stranger was being bullied by all the students at the school for he had been granted a card by the F4 (a group of four elitest boys) allowing everybody to bully him. The media coverage regarding this issue amplifies so much that the mother of the leader of F4 also the CEO of the organisation that owns the school ends up giving the girl 'Geum Jan Di' fully paid scholarship at the school.
As cliched as it sounds, it actually happens. She is not accepted by the rich people. But she remains true to herself and true to the fact that she HATES Gu Joon Pyo (the bulliest bully). And she loves Yoon Ji Ho. (The main two in the F4).
Constantly defying all the bullying acts Gu Joon Pyo commits towards her she becomes interesting to Gu Joon Pyo, and he decides that oh well he likes her. So he tells her something while they are standing outside the airport after seeing off Yoon Ji Ho which gets drowned in the noise of the aeroplane and even the subtitles don't catch it.
The curiosity killed me. I swear.
So we continued watching. He tells her to meet her at Namsan Tower. She goes shopping with her mother for there is a sale... very Pakistani... 4 hours later she decides to check and finds my beautiful Min Ho shivering in the snow. Dappunyun.
So just because he wants it, they start going out even though she still has feelings for Ji Ho.
And Yoon Ji Ho returns.
And now Ji Ho also has feelings for her. How cute! A supposedly unattractive girl is being crushed on by the two most perfect high schoolers at the best high school in Seoul. Very realistic, no?
They go to an island on Gu Joon Pyo's private jet because he can afford it. And here I can't afford tomorrow's bus-fare to the university. So F4, Geum Jandi, and her best friend go to the island. On that island, a fortune teller tells her in a dream that she is on the island with both her future husband and her soulmate. Now, who is which? For she is having feelings for both the guys. Poor girl is as confused as me.
So she applies her physiological psychology knowledge and attempts to find out who she truly loves by kissing Ji Ho. Obviously, that gets witnessed by Gu Joon Pyo. Coz drama.
And she realizes she is now in love with Gu Joon Pyo. But would the drama end now?
Nah-uh.
I tell you. If the drama was not a full package already because of Lee Min Ho, the drama is made a full package of the oh-so many-different genres and stories going along. There is a girl who likes Lee Min Ho, so she gets Geum Jandi's character tainted by getting her drunk and getting a guy take her pictures. Joon Pyo chooses to believe that accusation and not Jandi. How romantic, right? :/
The two other hot but not so important guys in the F4 choose to believe Geum Jandi though and prove her innocence... Can somebody please set her up with one of them?
And then another guy shows up who tries to woo Geum Jandi... She must have been like 'umm hello, You are not Lee Min Ho'
So he kidnaps her and tries to trap Lee Min Ho
Then we also have grown up issues. He has to stand up for the family business. He meets a girl who is compatible with him and also very rich and also liked by his mother.
And then he also has an accident and loses his memory of Geum Jandi.
BUT LOVE CONQUERS ALL <3 <3 <3
And I swear to God, in the last episode, they have the most awkward kiss in the history of awkward kisses in the lift chair.
A few years later,
Geum Jandi is preparing to become a doctor (Don't worry you'll be an amazing doctor by the time of Blood)
Ji Ho is preparing to be a doctor (That's gonna happen for you too but when you find your wife dude Yoon Ji Ho in Playful Kiss)
And Gu Joon Pyo becomes richer than ever!!!
And Hotter <3
300 Korean dramas down the lane and Korean language courses taken, I started watching this again. The scene with the airport comes about, and I put all my attention on lip reading.
And I caught it. What the subtitles were not able to catch, I got it!
Na rang, saagijaa... (Lets Date/Go Out with me)

This is one of the first few dramas I watched too! And I watched this after City Hunter and Min Ho's hairstyle and personality as Gu Jun Pyu were so different from City Hunter's. He shows his playful, eccentric side in this and his curls are so pretty! :-*
