So over the last two days, I watched "Boys over Flowers" :) It was pretty cute :P As far as Korean dramas though, I still prefer "Coffee Prince" :D *goes and turns on the soundtrack for CP*
Btw, this entry will have spoilers, spoilers, and more spoilers!! O_o
I will not go into the details of what happened with the plot(s) of the drama(s), for I just want to comment on a few small details. Throughout most of the drama, I wanted JiHoo to end up with JanDi because, as JanDi said herself, he is basically her soulmate. A part of me wanted JoonPyo to not remember JanDi in the last ep, so she could end up as JiHoo's girlfriend and later wife, as that old man predicted - and as JiHoo's grandfather wanted.
Speaking oh JiHoo's grandfather, it seems like he died at the end when they were showing the "4 years later" part. JanDi and JiHoo were talking about how the clinic shut down, so I assume the clinic would only shut down as a result of its only doctor dying :/ It was sad how little time JiHoo got to spend with his grandfather. The picture on his desk was so cute though :) --> of the two of them fishing :P
A few other things were unclear. Did JoonPyo's mom finally come around and spend more time with her family?? Or was she only doing that in the "4 years later" part because her husband woke up?? Oh, and if she did come around, did she go and try to talk to her husband while he was in a coma?? And is that the reason why he woke up?? :) I wonder how they announced that [his coming out of the coma] to the public, as it seems like they told everyone he was dead...?? xD Oh, and also as a random comment -- imagine JanDi's reaction when she finally came over to JoonPyo's house and saw the man she was trying to awaken before... him walking around, all healthy.... imagine her like, "WHAT?? You're the FATHER?? O___O" xD
But again, going back to the JiHoo/JanDi issue... he said something along the lines of him possibly staying back a year just so she wouldn't have to complete her last year of medical school alone. After that, he said something that seemed to imply he went to medical school either because of his grandfather or because of JanDi... aww :) Cute!! But again... sad that he doesn't end up with her :(
As for similarities to Coffee Prince [CP]... let's see... How about the fact that the basic plot line is this: Rich, hot, and egotistical guy who has everything falls in love with a girl who is barely getting by. They meet at school [work, not school in CP] and initially hate each other. The girl then develops a crush on one of the guy's best friends / group-mates [cousin, not friend in CP], which causes some problems... When the family of the guy find out that he wants to marry someone who is poor, they are super angry and try to tell him to find someone else. It's a happily ever after ending where the guy is a changed man and is no longer his old egotistical and lazy self :P hahah, of course there are a lot more details that don't match up, but that is essentially the gist of BOTH of them. Hahah, wow.
Oooooh, and don't forget that HanGyul's grandma in CP was JoonPyo's grandma in BOF. I was surprised at that. Oh, and YiJung [the 3rd F4 guy, who ends up with JanDi's best friend GaEul :]...? His brother apparently runs a coffee shop and makes a "leaf" design in the coffee froth, which I think was one of the designs featured in the opening of CP :P
Anyways, I highly recommend Coffee Prince!! And Boys Over Flowers too, but CP comes first :) [Those are links to the first episodes!! :P]

On a totally random note, WHY IS IT RAINING/POURING IN DECEMBER?! :( It's almost Christmas, and there's no snow. WHAT!!!!???? >.< One of my friends said on Fb,

Actually, another friend posted a somewhat similar status a few days before Halloween [when there was that really bad snow storm] --
♪♫ I'm dreeaming of a white... Halloween?? ♪
So yeah. This weather needs to stop. I WANT SNOW.
