Boys Over Flowers - Korean Drama DVD Set with English Subtitles | Romantic Comedy Series for Teens & Young Adults | Perfect for Binge-Watching & K-Drama Fans

This production of "Boys Over Flowers" is the best romantic comedy I have seen in years and one of my all-time favorite movies. Here are some pros and cons:CONS:Unreal plot situations (kidnappings, drownings, amnesia)Unreliable subtitlesTwo distracting subplots in the second half (Ji-hoo and Grandfather, Yi-Jung and Ga-eul)PROS:A great Cinderella storyExcellent writingJan-di, Jun-pyo, and Ji-hoo are complicated, interesting charactersCountless memorable comic and tragic momentsThe actress who plays Jan-di (Ku Hye-sun) is phenomenally expressive, capable of showing emotional pain in more ways than I knew were possible, but also hilarious when she needs to beSuperb direction and musicIf you watch the first episode and aren't yet hooked, that's okay, because the first episode is not all that great. If you give the second episode a chance, and then maybe the third, you will start to see the depth of the acting and writing, and you may find yourself hooked. Don't worry -- it's okay to get addicted to this one. It's really good!(Note: We watched the DVD version because I understand the DVD version has a better original soundtrack than the Netflix version.)
