3.0 out of 5 stars GREAT Drama, but what happend to the soundtrack?, December 27, 2009

This review is from: Boys Over Flowers Vol. 1 (DVD)

First off, I absolutely adored this drama. It had its flaws and ran on a bit, but it was a delight to watch and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys kdramas. That said, I first watched a fansubbed version of this right after it had wrapped in Korea and while the subtitles were well done, I wanted an "official" region 1 version for my collection. Imagine my excitement when it became available! I bought both vol. 1 and vol. 2. The packaging is great, vol. 1 includes a lovely photobook of the F4 and Jan Di, the disk quality is great, and the subttles are OK (there are some discrepancies, i.e some names are not quite what they should be), but there is one MAJOR difference from the fansubbed version--the backround music is different! So BE WARNED! If you watched the original Korean release with fansubs, all the backround music from the O.S.T. is completely different. Usually things like this don't bother me and if you've never seen any other version of this you won't notice, but the original songs in the backround were really catchy ones performed by some great Kpop groups! For me, the different music really changes the mood of some of the scenes. I'm sure the original songs are not included due to liscensing issues or some such legal mumbo jumbo, but it kind of sucks for us, who have shelled out quite a bit cash and expected to get the original TV show with its original soundtrack and found that that is not the case. Oh well, all gripes aside, for those who are interested in watching this show for the first time--I highly recommend it. It had its silly eye rolling moments, but the cast (especially the F4 boys) were lovey to watch and the story was very entertaing. But if you are like me and have seen it before and just wanted to add it to your collection--I warn you now, changes have been made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Korean Drama...so far, October 18, 2009

Hoaaaaa...Once I started watching this drama, it was hard for me to stop and continued till 3-4 am leading to tiring days at work :). But this drama is soooo beautiful, but what enhance this drama evermore is the soundtracks..the songs are really capturing my heart along with the story lines. This is the only drama that I still thought before falling sleep right after watching it. I had even bought the DVD..it is worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY!! a wholesome entertainment for all!, October 27, 2009

This review is from: Boys Over Flowers Vol. 1 (DVD)

I haven't seen such refreshing movie in a very long while and this one IS IT! It's nice to be reminded again and again of how simplicity in the midst of glitz and glamour is even more enchanting (as in the case of Jan Di); innocence, decency and determination can and will always capture ones heart! and the beauty of love and sacrifice between true loyal friends...amazing! Just try to overlook their vanity....the acting is outstanding! You'll laugh a lot, cry a little...it'll move you! It's a pleasant distraction as you'd be glued in your seat to the end! A wonderful entertainment for the young ones and once...young. Buy one! or better yet...give one!
