Boys Over Flowers - Episode 1 Review

Boys over Flowers is one of the GREATEST K-Dramas of all time (which is why I am picking it first to review). 

BoF debuted on January 5, 2009. Sadly it only lasted 25 episodes and ended on March 31, 2009. If you have already watched this show, I think you will agree with me that it could have gone on FOREVER and still I would never get tired of it. If you have not seen it yet...where have you been?

Storyline

 There is this school for rich people called Shinhwa (don't you just love that name?) Only the very lucky get to attend this school. At this school, there is a group of what I would call "The Untouchables". The group is actually called the F4. They pretty much run the school and the girls go NUTS over them. You will see why in a few. A dry cleaner's daughter gets the chance of a lifetime to attend this school. She is not rich and not pretty. When she sees the things that go on in the school and how the F4 treats everyone, she speaks out which causes her to be the target of the whole school. She finds herself attracted to one of the members of the F4 and when the school turns on her, he helps her out whenever he can. The leader of this group really has it out for her but after he sees that she endures whatever he dishes out, he starts to change his ways and falls for her. They go through many obstacles, including his mother keeping them apart and trying to destroy her life. In the end, will love concur all?

Main cast members

Ku Hye Sun as Geum Jan Di

I think it is funny how they say she is not very pretty. I think she is beautiful!!

Lee Min Ho as Goo Jun Pyo

(Leader of F4)

Do you see that face? OH MY GOSH!! This man right here is beyond gorgeous!

Kim Hyun Joong as Yoon Ji Hoo

(F4 member and former President's grandson)

Look at that face!! Look at that smile!! Oh my goodness he is adorable! (I will have to do a video blog on his later to show you his sexy side...WOW) And please, no negative comments about him. I still love him no matter what!

Kim Joon as Song Woo Bin

(F4 member's "Don Juan")

He is adorable and wait till you hear him talking in English, it is too cute!!

Kim Bum as So Yi Jung 

How cute and sexy is this man? I could go on forever about him but I am going to let you find out for yourselves just how cute and sexy he really is! 

There you have it folks! Now go watch the show. Then watch it again. I will be doing reviews of every episode. Hopefully the first episode will be uploaded this weekend.

14 Days of Second Lead Syndrome: Day 2/14

Welcome back to 14 Days of Second Lead Syndrome!

ICYMI: Day 1 of 14, Reply 1994.

 http://www.hasheartandseoul.com/2017/02/14-days-of-second-lead-syndrome-day-114.html

Today's edition of "14 Days of Second Lead Syndrome" is probably one of the most known and iconic cases of "Second Lead Syndrome" to this day. 

Anyone want to take a guess at what that is? Ohhhh, you're probably right. 

Today's "Second Lead Syndrome" is about "Boys Over Flowers".

"Boys Over Flowers'' Was one of the single-most iconic K-dramas to this day. Some believe the drama in itself is what really fueled the "Hallyu Wave". And they very well could be right. 

"Boys Over Flowers" as a whole was a drama MASTERPIECE. The characters were great and they picked the best suited actor for the role. There is no way you could have done "Boys Over Flowers" without any of the actors/actresses. The drama is usually most k-drama lovers first drama.. And usually the one that hooks you onto the whole "K-Drama scene"..

So if you've seen "Boys Over Flowers", like I hope you have. You will know the worst "Second Lead Syndrome" in the history of this world happened on this drama. 

This is mostly because of the fact that Ji Hoo's character himself, was one of the best characters in the drama. Even surpassing Jun-Pyo (who was played by Lee Min Ho).
Also it could be because he was played by Kim Hyun Joong also.. *shrug*

The "Second Lead Syndrome" was so bad in this drama, it really seemed like even the writers wanted her to actually be with Ji Hoo. They even went so far as to calling him her "soulmate".  But he was her "soulmate" that she couldn't be with...

Jan-Di and Ji-Hoo were an amazing couple. Along with him being a really sensitive and sweet guy, he loved her alot and she returned the favor but for some reason K-drama logic is that all girls end up with the bad guy. Now, given I did love Jun Pyo. I did. And I hate to admit I wanted them together. It's just so refreshing when a bad guy turns good, ya know?

But it would have made sense and even would have been equally okay if Jan Di ended up with Ji Hoo. Normally I am like, "Ya know, I have second lead syndrome.. But it just wouldn't be right if the lead ended up with anyone else." 

However, in this case... I think it totally would have been great if she ended up with Ji Hoo. I think their relationship could have been great and happy. Now I know she put all that effort into Jun Pyo but sometimes, ya gotta do what you gotta do right?

I wish someone would make a alternate ending of "Boys Over Flowers" so that everyone could see how great it could have been. 

What were your thoughts on "Boys "Over Flowers"? Did you find yourself having "Second Lead Syndrome"? Who did you ship? 

HAS KDQ has a severe case of "Second Lead Syndrome" and still hasn't recovered fully. She keeps watching the drama again hoping the ending will change. She's literally watched it 11 times. 
Poor woman.

Caution: Not for the weak hearted.

I present to you... KPOP Shirtless, 3rd Edition.

Now... This is going to be unlike my last Kpop shirtless's. And why you ask? Because this Kpop shirtless is going to only feature one model. One guy that is too sexy to have anyone else on this blog. A man that deserves his own shirtless blog. Because it could quite possibly be an insult to have other people on the blog when he's on it. I'm pretty sure by now you've guessed who I'm talking about.. But if for some reason you have not..

I present to you.. 

Today's KPOP Shirtless model..

Kim Hyun Joong

.... Ovary overload. And that's all I have to say. 

Oh wait.. I have one more thing to say...

You're welcome. ;)

Celebrity Obsession: Kim Hyun Joong

Kim Hyun Joong

This guy is Kim Hyun Joong and he's one of my favorite actors of all time. He's actually my 2nd favorite actor, because my 1st is Lee Min Ho. He's also one of my favorite group leaders. He's the leader of SS501, btw if you didn't know. He's 2nd though, again, because Leeteuk is my favorite group leader. He's one of my favorite singers, too. And this time he's not 2nd, but he's not 1st either. Now I have always love Kim Hyun Joong. Always. Ever since I saw him on Boys Over Flowers.. So why am I just now writing a blog on him? Well because I was listening to some songs I haven't listened to in awhile, and I came across Breakdown by Kim Hyun Joong. So I decided to watch the music video. After doing so, even though I've watched this thing like a million times, I was completely shocked. How is he SOOO much different in these music videos than he is in his dramas?!?!

I'll give examples..

Boys Over Flowers:

This is Kim Hyun Joong back in his Boys Over Flowers days.. Long hair. Beautiful. Completely beautiful.

Playful Kiss:

Kim Hyun Joong in Playful Kiss. Still beautiful, but not AS beautiful. No more long hair. Now it's only longish. <3

"Lucky Guy" Music Video:

Lucky Guy MV

Still beautiful. But slowly turning hot... Where is my beautiful Kim Hyun Joong? 

"Please" Music Video:

Please MV

Dude's continuously getting HOT. As time goes by, dude gets extremely hot. BUT he's still somewhat beautiful here. He hasn't completely lost the beautifulness just yet.

"Kiss Kiss" Music Video:

Kiss Kiss MV

There we go, KHJ, you're beautifulness is coming back. Slowly, but surely, but you still do have a little bit of hot mixed in there. But that's okay. You're slowly becoming beautiful again.

"Breakdown" Music Video:

Breakdown MV

My Favorite!(: <3

BAM! FORGET ABOUT IT! THE BEAUTIFULNESS IS GONE AND I AM DEFINITELY NOT COMPLAINING! DUDE IS FULL BLOWN SEXY NOW! Compare this picture to the Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss pictures. OH. MAH. GAWSH. This video is beyond great. He's soooooo hoooooooot!

So the main purpose of writing this blog post was to show you how much he's changed. And show how hot he was in Breakdown. LOL I just can't believe it's him, really. Compared to Boys Over Flowers, the dude is like COMPLETELY different! You can barely tell it's him. An no it's not because of the nose job or anything. And btw yes I do know that Kiss Kiss and Breakdown were at the same time. He just looks hotter in Breakdown. Do you not agree? lol 

Well anyways, thanks for reading and here are ways to contact me:
