I saw this on another blog and I go rofl! I didn't realize it when I watched episode 11 but upon reading the blog I go oh yeah how funny! lol... What was the director thinking? Maybe it's one of the features of the phone, that you can hear it in spite of the huge helmet! lol

this is in episode 11:

... and here's in episode 16:

... and I've added javabean's recap on the F4 Special Talk show on the main post

ADDED [3.4.09]
so last night since aja aja.com had subtitles up for BBF episode 17. i couldn't help myself so yup watched episode 17 with vikki's subs again lol. and chea again another daily dose of BBF episode rambling!!!! lol.
so excuse me and....

BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!!
episode 17:

first of all i'd like to say i'm liking the new tracks to BBF OST!!!! especially the song that was playing when Gu Jun Pyo agreed to date JaeKyung (his arranged fiancee); and they both went on a date. the song that went something like *be my girl.....be my girl .....or something?* hehe it was a pretty cute sounding song =] so i'm excited to download these new tracks.....whenever they're available! lol.
But chea lets start episode rambling now lol.....
oooo i like Gu Jun Pyo's sister in here! she's one awsome sister standing up for her lil brother =]. You go Gu Jun Pyo's sister!!!! hehe. But haha comparing Gu Jun Pyo and his sister in that scene. He sure looks like the younger child lol. cause he was oh so quiet compared to his normal self lol.
but haha Hyun Joong aka Ji Hoon is too cute. riding on that cleaning thingy???? lol since Jan Di let him ride it to say thank you for helping her clean the place up lol. and whoop i knew the moment Ji Hoon called Jan di in front of the bathroom waiting for her...i knew she probably fainted of fatigue or something!!! but o dear!!! about the kissing hand scene and it was witnessed by Gu Jun Pyo!!!!! =O totally new scene for BOF!!!! lol.
aiyo again poor Jan Di! she keeps getting bloody noses!!!! lol >.<
and LOL to playing american music during the fashion/cellphone show???? lol i totally didn't get the show....was it for fashion or cell phones???? lol.
But chea aside from liking the song at the date scenes with Gu Jun Pyo and Jakyung. I thought the scenes were still pretty cute...or their small date >.< [but me still or course going with Jan Di and Gu Jun Pyo pairing haha. (and of course know they'll end up together anyways LOL)] but chea during those scenes why do i get the feeling Gu Jun Pyo is like also captured by Jakyung's cutenesS??? lol. so i thought that was pretty interesting lol >.<
but ha!!! i knew that was the reason why Gu Jun Pyo didn't want to ride the thing! cause it would remind him about the time with Jan Di! and the words he wrote! XD.
BUt gahhh! the famous scene where Makino witnesses Tsukasa actually kissing his arranged fiancee!!!!, interesting in this version of BOF both Jan Di and Gu Jun Pyo witness something about one another! Ji Hoon kissing Jan Di's hand while she's asleep now Jan Di seeing the kiss between Gu Jun Pyo and Jakyung. But hmm......i wonder if Gu Jun Pyo pretended JakYung was Jan Di and that's how he was able to kiss her?? cause chea they showed the three kiss between Gu Jun Pyo and Jan Di before Gu Jun Pyo kissed Jakyung! so hmmm me kinda confused about that! lol. (yet i've watch so many different versions of this exact scenes) LOL but this version kinda got me thinking! lol >.< But wooo Ji Hoon sure has fast reflex LOL *WHOOOSH* grabs Jan Di to turn her head away lol ><.
and o dear the famous double "date" trip tsukasa, Rui, Shigru, and Makino. >.< lol. but WOW in this korean version Tsukasa aka Gu Jun pyo saves the drowned/knocked out Makino aka Jan Di! from the pool!!!!!! and i just had to laugh/ smile and go awwwww! after Gu Jun Pyo told Jan Di he learned how to swim because after the first time he saw her get saved by Ji Hoon he didn't want to see a second time a different guy saves her except him....that was cute. but when it showed him practice swimming i just had to laugh lol >.< cause you get to see him practicing with one of those floating boards lol. hehe Lee Min Ho looked like a kiddo with the board so i just had to smile haha >.<
But hmmm i totally didn't see the J <3 J words on Jan di's necklace till now? was that ever showned when gu Jun Pyo first gave it to Jan Di???? cause i can't seem to remember!!! >.< but chea wow J <3 J could mean Jan Di and Jun Pyo or JakYung with Jun Pyo!!! intense! lol >.<
But lol the korean version of BBF made the whole scene where Shiguru (in this case Jakyung) kinda uh use her body to get Tsukasa aka Jun Pyo to see her..... like a suitable viewing for kids way lol. unlike in Meteor Garden...but then again in meteor Garden they didn't show her whole nakid body only her back lol. but i'm just saying haha. this korean version made it with swim wear on! lol.
and o dear the triangle is coming up! between Sojiro, Yuki, and Sojiro's childhood/ first lover??? o and i just got to say....OI!!! about Yi Jung's father in this BOF version....hmmmm...he's horriable.......the way he acts....like wanting to end his life and all...aiyo.......>.< but chea props to Kim Beom as an actor he really does great in crying and expression anger and stuff.
but whoooop i wonder what's gonna happen next!!!!!??????? gahhhh already on episode 17!!! only 7 more episdoes and BBF is over!!! dang time sure flies!!!! >.< but chea looks like i'm done rambling on about episode 17! lol.

oh and i came across this cute pic of Lee Min Ho. XD lol thought i share hehe, cause chea gotta say he's adoable =] lol

ADDED AGAIN ON 3.4.09!!!!!
I came across this news and i found it pretty interesting!!!! Lee Min Ho actually was the one to take Goo Hye Sun straight to the hospital after her car accident????? cause his car happened to pass her car.......?

To read news go to http://minsarang.wordpress.com/tag/boys-before-flowers/ then scroll down the page and look for this title of the news : [NEWS] Drama Becomes Real Life: BOF Lee MinHo Saves Goo HyeSun

Oh i also found out that the guy playing Ming, Ji Hoon's friend in episode 15 and 16 is one of the members of the new korean boyband A'ST1 that debut in April last year.......although most of their members are korean they have two non-korean members! a japanese and chinese member! which i find pretty cool lol. and i also learn that they are the ones that sings the song i'm dying to get in BOF's 2nd OST!!! the one song played during Ja Kyung and Gu Jun's first date!!!!!! *Be My Girl....Be My Girl" =] ahhh that song sounds oh so cute!!!!

BEWARE of SPOILERS!!!
Episode 18!
aiyo the way Ja Kyung acted out the whole "i don't wanna to hear thing" was pretty loud lol >.< which of course i'm sure it's suppose to be so she wouldn't hear Gu Jun Pyo Talk of course...but ha i just had to still say that lol >.<
but Jan di was like HELLA shaking after she saw Gu Jun Pyo and Ja Kyung...wouldn't it just be shocking? cause shaking seems like more of a scared feeling??? unless maybe it's nervous feeling?? lol. i unno that kinda was interesting to me lol.
but awwww Ja Kyung being depressed and eatting all that ice cream by herself...>.< epp a truely depressing action right there >.<.
BUT WHOA! that whole scene of Song Woo Bin actting strange is totally a new scene!!!!!! yet also kinda confusing to me lol.....>.< but chea usually Akira is the one that keeps F4 together! so why did Woo Bin act like that in this BOF??? confusing!! lol. and whoa! more mad scenes of Kim Beom! i really do think he does well in actting angry LOL like his eyes be hella widen and scary looking LOL. >.<
BUT GASPS!!!!!!! aiyo Ji Yung!!!! why you drink so much and then get freaking beat up like that!!! and even injured your hands!!! gahhh!!! ???? but then again showing the buddy spirit Akira aka woo bin comes to the rescue!!! lol. and not to mention he gave Ji Yung a piggyback ride too!!! LOL. but ha that was pretty cute haha.
haha when it first showed jan di and ji hoon praying at the temple i was like EHH!??!?! but haha it's just part of touring around lol no dah! vietshortee!!!!! lol >.< but ha interesting how the monk came and sed jan di is a good girl and whatnot and that she will give Ji Hoon a family lol >.< i was like WHOA!!!! lol >.<
but wow interesting how they made Gu Jun Pyo and Ja Kyung seem very much alike in what they do for the people they like. >.<
but whoa i gotta say the way Ji Yung (Kim Beom) acts in this episode is pretty intense...>.< like him being pretty angry and kinda mean >.< aiyo!!! come back sweet Ji Yung! lol >.<
and gahh!!! Gu Jun Pyo finally understands it was his fault that Jan Di can't swim anymore aiyo sorrie to say what a slowpoke! lol >.< i thought he got that idea already!!!! lol >.< i guess not! >.< lol....aiyo!
but awww the original scene of makino living with her lil brother now while their parents goes to their uncles for work. kahhhhh jan di's lil brother is soooo cute!!!!! that lil boy has one killer smile!!! lol it's freaking oh sooo cute!!!! =] lol. but aww i like their sister and brother relationship!!! kinda jealous!! cause my lil brother is sometimes a pain >.< Lol.
LMAO and awwww at Gu Jun Pyo sleeping and hugging his cat stuffed animal he got from Jan Di as a b-day gift LOL. it's pretty funny and cute at the same time seeing a guy that's suppose to be o so "THE MAN" lol sleepying with a pink cat stuff animal haha >.< but wee i like his butler/assistant man! he's totally on gu jun pyo's side and not on his mom's side! lol.
but wow gu jun pyo sure bought his house fast to be next to Jan di! lol. and LMAO at him hella killing the instant noodles!!! o man and jan di's expression was hilarious!!! she was so shocked and like as the noodle was still out of her mouth you can see it being SLOWWWWWWLYYYYYY slurp in by her LOL. o man but really something about Korean people making instant noodle seem soooo delicious!!! (cause chea WGM was the same!!!! LOL) i was getting hungry just watching gu jun pyo kill the instant noodles lol >.< and i watching at night too!!!! goodness!!! lol. and LMAO how did i know what the screams were about coming from Gu Jun PYO LOL. BUGS!!!!!!!!!!! but then again i can't blame him i would probably be doing the same thing!!! LOL. but then again it's funny cause he's again suppose to be oh the man! and yet he's scared to death of bugs! haha. Jan Di haha getting them was pretty funny too haha, trying to step on them lol she did like a small dance trying to get them by her foot haha ><. too cute!
wow!!! this version of Makino is pretty talented!!! LOL Jan di can even draw!!!!! lol niceee! lol. she can sing!, play piano too!!! very talented Makino!!! i believe she can bake and cook too!! lol so chea wow applause to Jan DI! lol.okie dokie i think i can stop my rambling now lol phew that was pretty long!!! lol >.< again excuse me! lol

Trivia 1:
The second OST is out and viet already shared it in the BBF music thread! yay! thanks viet... and guess? what the band, 4-member group Someday, who sang "Do You Know" will release their first album today March 12, and aside from the version heard in BBF, the album will have Do You Know version featuring Jae Ah of the Brown Eyed Girls...

Trivia 2:
PDs of BBF has revealed that they might have a different ending from the original version. As you can see, the second half has a love quadrangle between JanDi, Ji Hoo, Jun Pyo, and his fiance Jae Kyung, thus speculations for a different ending are high in the Korean sites. Korean netizens even coined words for the possible couple for the ending like Goo-Geum for Jun Pyu and Jandi and Yoon-Geum for Ji Hoo and Jan Di!

whoa indeed!

[ellechar7]

WHOA! so that means JanDi and JunPyo might not end up together?! i'll be so sad! it won't be BOF without those two ending up together... although i am a bit happy that JiHoo won't end up alone in this version like he did with the other two version... but it still won't be the same. -_-

[4jpz]

whoa indeed! We have the same sentiments ellechar7... I know I've rooted for Hua Ze Lei rather than Dao Ming Si in Meteor Garden, but with BBF I would like Jun Pyu to end up with Jan Di... Well, I haven't started with the second half yet, I might change my mind! lol... but it won't be HYD if it deviates from the original and besides, Jun Pyu is the love of Jan Di's life and Ji Hoo is her soulmate! and that's it should be! Lucky girl! to have two cool guys rooting for her! aww! to be like her is heaven! lol

[vietshortee]

Yes indeed part 2 of BBF OST is out! well only the single with 3 of the tracks lol. >.< it was actually released on the 7th of march i believe it was??? but chea i came across it yesterday and chea also uploaded it to share =] lol. I freaking love the track by A'ST1! lol.

but aiyo!!!!! like i sed in the CTMT!!!! if Jan Di and Jun Pyo don't end up together it's gonna really ruin the original storyline of BOF!!!!! please PDS don't change the storyline's ending!!! no matter how much i like Rui aka Ji Hoon character and like ellechar7 said...wished his ending was a happy one too unlike the original story lol >.<, changing this version of BBF's ending will really change the original point of BOF!!! kahhhhh!

but weee i'm totally watching episode 19 tonight!! aja aja released other own subbers subs! weee! lol anticipation is killllling me!!!! lol =p. should be a fun episdoe since in the preview at the end of 18 revealed that jan Di will be a maid at Gu Jun Pyo's place tehee a famous part there in BOF! lol

[ilovehk]

oh, i too, really hope they don't change the ending!!!! i didn't see meteor garden, but i'm a total fan of HYD... and really, it won't be the same without the original ending... i mean, they're already doing pretty well changing a little bit here n a little bit there... no need to try and be totally different! then it won't be HYD!!!!
