This image for the preview for ep 3 cracks me up:



So, to continue with the second half of ep 2 thoughts and comments, i.e. more wackiness and awesomeness.



Jandi is not impressed by JoonPyo or his house, now she knows it's his.



Weeeeeeell, maybe a little bit impressed :)



She tells him money can't buy everything and he asks her what money can't buy. I kinda love how he is not even being snide (much) but more like honestly puzzled. (It's in line with him thinking she rejected his offer of secret girlfriendhood because the makeover wasn't nice enough).







I love this shot:



Ji Hoo (Rui) is seriously her white knight at this point... Also, he is such a space alien. he asks him what money can't buy and he says 'air.'



He ruffles her hair and gives her a pair of his shoes so she won't walk barefoot (he is treating her like an amusing little kid, IMO).







Look how giddy she is over his shoes! I think that's the best answer to JoonPyo's question. JoonPyo gave her a whole make-over, clothes head-to-toes etc and she threw it in his face because she loathes him. Ji Hoo loaned her a pair of sneakers and she is treating them like the Crown Jewels (cleaning them with a toothbrush!) because they are his.





Soujiro and Akira invite her for tea, because they have been so entertained by the effect she is having on their wacky friends...



Mmmm, Ji Hoo. Of course even his tracksuit is white.



Jandi is as smitten as I am :)



Until Mean Girls hit her in the face with a ball, that is.



Which JoonPyo sees and is not pleased (Dude, did you forget? The red card is still out for her. Your red card.)



Oh how I love this scene. He is trying to be kind but has no idea how (telling a girl she is stupid to cry isn't really the best approach) and then asks her how she could possibly not like someone as perfect as him and in reply she really lays into him, all the reasons she loathes him, basically from head to toes.





















JoonPyo and violent sports. A match made in heaven.





I am not recapping the shower of fanservice again :)

Rui is wearing brown!



Rui and Shizuka



JoonPyo is all worried and irritable because Jandi didn't show for the class trip LOL



The whole 'I have this giant cruise ship where you are fishing. It's a total coincidence, honest honest' is a hoot! Soujiro and Akira are just as amused.









'Wanna come to Shizuka's party?' 'No way'



'Wanna come to Shizuka's party?' 'Yes please'



Realization begins to dawn on JoonPyo.



Jandi showed up in costume because Mean Girls convinced her it's a costume party, and now she is hiding.



Doesn't work out so well:



JoonPyo, who's been prowling the party the entire time, looking for her, is about to stride off to the rescue:



But Ji Hoo beats him to it:



Seriously, she is starting a Ji Hoo clothes collection. Handkerchief, shoes, now jacket.







Yeah, boy. It's good for you.



Shizuka is gorgeus. (She takes Jandi to change)



She also tells Jandi that JoonPyo bullies people as an outlet for loneliness because he only sees his parents a month out of a year and never got much love orgenuine friendship from anyone. Jandi, like me, is not ready to woobify him on the spot -- that's an explanation, not an excuse.



I love the boys' reaction. Yup, Joon Pyo drops his plate. Heeee.











And Ji Hoo, nudged by Shizuka, asks Jandi to dance:

You know, during the rugby scene, I didn't know it was Jun Pyo playing, so I was all like "wtf random rugby scene?!"...

I'm REALLY liking Akira and Soujiro in this drama, they're so hilariously amused by Jun Pyo's idiocy. I still can't tell which is which, though.

Rui in something other than white! His jacket is lovely though... it's nice to see that all kdramas aren't fashion disasters (ala Full House).

I love this drama SO MUCH! I think it's actually going to be my favorite interpretation of the story. I don't want to wait until next week for more!

Light hair = Akira, dark hair = Soujiro.

Oh! Thanks! I had the same problem with Meteor Garden. The only way I could tell them apart at first was by identifying the hanzi characters in their names.

I love this drama so much! I love how amused Akira and Soujiro are all the time. I think they adopt Jan-Di as their mascot, because they are so entertained by her effect Joon-Pyo and Ji-Hoo :D.

BTW, I made icons (on my LJ) of ep. 2. Feel free to snag, if you like any of them.

Rugby is such a Jun Pyo game, none of that sissy padding for our boy ;-)

So far there's no one I dislike not even the 3 girls, random english FTW! Although the speed the plot is moving does concern me a bit.

The tables will be turned on Yi Jung as soon as he and Ga eul get going *fingers crossed* I really want to see where they're going with that one.

I know! Leave some plot for the rest of 20 eps. Though hopefully, they ahve plot for each ep plotted out, unlike something like Goong which got extended by 8 eps and had to fill it in, so hopefully it won't get too draggy.

Given my constant obsession with rugby players and their thighs, the fact the Jun Pyo plays rugby (but do the Koreans *even* play rugby???) has just turned me into a pile of goo on the floor, although, he probably needs a bit of bulking up!

For some reason, I went all squee-y and flaily over our screencap of the lads' shoes... i love footwear and unlike the japanese, they have at least just given them classic black shoes to wear as opposed to wicked witch of the east pointy shoes!

Apparently they do:

although, he probably needs a bit of bulking up!

Compared to Matsujun, he is a heavyweight already. The thought of jdrama Domyouji playing rugby is horrifying: he wouldn't get to keep any of his ribs :)

Eeee! Shizuka's party was always one of my favorite scenes in the Japanese drama, just because I loved the Shizuka and how she helped Makino out and Makino was all dolled up and GORGEOUS and Domyouji being all, "o_o". It looks just as awesome in this! ^^

It really really was awesome!

Though points to Domyouji for ogling Makino when someone as breathtaking as Shizuka is nearby.

Was the Taiwanese Shizuka as beautiful as the Japanese and Korean one? Also, I'm not surprised why Rui would love her so much: not only is she a good person, but she's gorgeously pretty.

I love the girl who plays Yuki: she's adorable.

ahh, the reactions when Jan Di enters after getting dolled up is awesome. Joon Pyo's reaction is so perfect. but i really wish i could have capped Ji Hoo's. i just find it so amusing that at first his squinting to see them, and then suddenly his eyes go big after seeing two dolled out chicks. it was such a cute reaction. *bricks self for not capturing*

I'm also a Meteor Garden lover and I think this Korean version might just become my fave too. I really love Jun Pyo, he is so adorable and hot! Omg, the shower scene was great! I also really like Jandi. I think she really fits the role. Her kick in the face and that sticker scene would have to be my fave scenes in these episodes. Also, the one where Jun Pyo starts believing that Jandi is in love with him after the kick was lol.

I'm really liking how the story is going and how Jandi got into the school cause it never really made sense before. The only scene I miss from Meteor Garden that I kinda wish happened in the Korean version is when after Shan Cai lists all the things she hates about Dao Ming Si and the next day he shows up at school with straight hair and a Mickey Mouse shirt. Lol, that would have been the funniest thing.

The lead girl reminds me of Ueno Juri as Nodame. Maybe because of the hair.

I also love Shizuka! I love the actress :D (I fail in remembering Korean names T_T)

Everyone is so adorable and perfect. I can't wait for subs so that I can actually understand what Soujiro/Akira are snickering about all the time. I wonder when I'm finally going to be able to remember/recognize all the characters by their Korean names, haha. Also, Shizuka is stunning. She's the most beautiful yet, by far!

So, I'm finally catching up - didn't want to rush it just because I was falling behind - and as always I'm loving Jun Pyo. The fact that he talks about himself in the third person and precedes that with adjectives à la The Magnificent, The Majestic, The Great & Powerful, is an absolute riot. He is such a dork and he absolutely kills me.

So random question but doesn't Rui ... Ji Hoo, whatever, kind of look like Ken from Meteor Garden or is that just me and my crazy?

It is incredibly entertaining.

Re: Ji Hoo. I didn't think about it. Hmmmm, need to check it out and see :)
