Lee Min-jung, most well-known for her recent role playing Lee Min-ho’s annoying (but endearing) fiancée in Boys Before Flowers, is getting her first leading role. It’ll be in the new SBS weekend drama Smile (more literally, Smile, You [그대, 웃어요], which is a working title). At first glance, the story seems somewhat reminiscent of early... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 21

Three good episodes in a row! What is going on here? Okay, okay. Perhaps if I were to take a coldly analytical look at this, I might concede that all three episodes in question (and then some) were mightily flawed and riddled with enough logic holes to make you think a Plot-Eating Moth had invaded...

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 20

I enjoyed this episode; it felt like a return to the style of earlier days, which in my book is a good thing. (It’s sad; I haven’t rewatched any episodes since Episode 10 — up till that point I’d rewatched the episodes multiple times, or at least my favorite portions. I was a little shocked... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 19

We’re back to fun and cute, hurrah. I don’t actually think the new songs in this second half are any better than the songs in the first half (and they’re just as inappropriately used). It’s more a matter of not having had the songs hammered into our brains relentlessly (yet?), so they feel fresher and... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 17
by | March 3, 2009 | 263 Comments
I don’t know if this was by design or by chance (because of the broadcast delay), but this episode had some quieter moments, which have been a rare thing in this series — it’s usually so jam-packed with The Drama. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, though, because for once we had a little... More »
