Boys Before Flowers: Episode 8
Ratings continue to rise; this episode posted the highest numbers thus far (25.9%), widening the gap between now-second-place East of Eden (21.8%). Just to clarify, I know what generally happens in the original story, but when I’m talking about this drama, I don’t care so much what’s supposed to happen, or how a certain event... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 7
And it only took three weeks: This episode finally managed to topple the Monday-Tuesday behemoth East of Eden from its top ratings perch into second place, beating it by 2%. There was perhaps one main cringey moment in Episode 7, but for the most part I really enjoyed it. That said: GAHHHH! CURSE YOU, CLIFFHANGER!!... More »

News bites: January 21, 2009
Jung Il-woo, Jeon Ji-hyun Today marks the debut of MBC’s Return of Iljimae, starring Jung Il-woo. The series premiered to mixed reactions, with some viewers calling it “refreshing” while others complained about excessive narration. I’m looking forward to it anyway.

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 6
Oooh, things just got good. (Finally!) Episode 6 got off to a rocky start (I laughed along embarrassedly for the first part), but then they kicked up the angst — and given how this drama fails when attempting cutesy or slapstick humor, this is a much welcome turn. The cast is much better as dramatic... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 5
Our trend continues: A couple surprisingly good scenes, and then some really bad ones. Overall, I thought Episode 5 was a pleasant one — not too challenging but had its fun moments — with lots of gorgeous scenery. Also, folks, since commenting has been prolific with regards to this drama: Keep it clean and keep... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 4
Episode 4 was much better than Episode 3 — although really, like that was hard. Episode 3 was funnier, but 4 was more grounded in reality, which makes it much more watchable, imo. Is this going to be a pattern, with Tuesdays outshining Mondays? I suppose if we must have it one way or the... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 3
There are some parts of Boys Before Flowers that are pretty good. And then there are parts that are really, really bad. Like, hilariously mockable, I’m-embarrassed-for-you bad.. That won’t stop me from enjoying the drama, but it does put the entertainment into a different category than what I was hoping for, which was sheer, heart-lifting,... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 2
I feel better about Boys Before Flowers after Episode 2. The drama is still very flawed, and I think I’m going pretty easy on it — I could snark much more if I wanted to — but I don’t want to be mean about this series. I have a lot of affection for it. But... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 1 [Korean Hana Yori Dango]
Word of warning: Lower those expectations, folks. Episode 1 of Boys Before Flowers was not a home run. I’d say it got off to a choppy start, with good and bad points and a couple nice surprises. I’m not terribly disappointed, but I also wasn’t expecting gold, either. On the other hand, I think I’m... More »

Boys Before Flowers production press conference
We’re only two weeks away from the premiere of the much-anticipated Hana Yori Dango remake, Boys Before Flowers, and the cast came out on December 22 for the production press conference. Not much more to add to the already sizable pre-show buzz, so before we get to the photos, I’ll just say, once again: This... More »
