even though i was a domiyoji fan im sure i'll be rooting for Kim Hyun Jung's character. He's soooooo goood-looking. I wish they swapped characters. but anyways...go RUI!

Makino's picture is interesting, to say the least.

Wow. These posters are so well colourful! and exciting! AHH! I want to watch it soon.

-__- I find Domiyoji's har to be too much in that picture. It's so... curly?? I guess that's the point, but it seems so obviously fake? I don't know. It just bothers me but other than that--the posters are awesome! :D

Wow, I love Makino's photo, haha, so... different. I can't wait to see her, I hope GHS doesn't disappoint. I like how her hair looks so much like the manga's.

I still think this is the most good-looking cast of all adaptations, it's definetly going to be the most fashionable as well. It really makes me excited!

Does anyone know what's written in each poster?

OMG. GHS's face. T.T terrible. Why is her face always so ghostly white? I really think it's the make-up.

love it! specially Domiyoji's hair, most people dont realized how ridiculously its supposed to look in the manga. Domiyoji's character is obsessed with straightening out his fu**ed up hair lol

ahhh! i can't wait for this drama! and i LOVE the hair. i have to say, it's much better than jun's hair in the japanese adapted version. i really hope this drama doesn't disappoint but even if it's similar to the japanese version, i will still be satisfied.

javabeans, i'm going to assume WITHS2 will be subbing this series as the episodes come out?? i should look on their wiki...

oh and i'm wondering if you're going to re-upload the music to the broken links...

Love that photo of GHS she looks cute & spunky there.
Hopefully it will be the same vibe in the drama.

This cast will rock the fashion department with all the stylish & trendy clothes

About LMH's poster ( “I’m good-looking… I’m tall… I’m rich… How can you hate me?”), awwww. the poor guy sounds like he's so clueless about why the girl doesn't like him. ㅋㅋ

i want that kim hyun joong poster, oh shiilang <3

Love Makino's hair but what's with her chalk white makeup?
I am already crazy about Domyouji. His perm is ridiculously cute.

gu hye sun looks cute in that picture. lol. i wish i could pull of ridiculous poses like that and look all innocent and adorkable. instead, i'd look fxcktarded.

Koo Hye Sun's poster is VERY ulljang. That is, if the ulljang was named Sybil. :D

i LOVE that picture of GHS-- she looks so anime-like!

Kim Bum looks SOOO handsome!!!

and that picture of Hye Sun is oddly endearing...loll...she's worlds different from Mao Inoue's Makino though...i like that the Koreans are putting their own spin on things already....

Wha...I hope Yi-Jung isn't more of a bad guy than in the manga. Soujiro was always my favorite hee!

But these posters are ADORABLE. My hype excitement has gone up even more.

Jun-pyo (Lee Min-ho): “I’m good-looking… I’m tall… I’m rich… How can you hate me?”

^ that made me laugh! hehe, totally something Domyouji/Junpyo would say....

I love GHS's solo poster, she just looks adorable... even if they photoshopped her to look so pasty white >.>;;

omfg, the excitement!!

i've only seen the taiwanese version of boys before flowers before i knew that it was such a big thing and years before i even heard of the japanese one (shoulda seen that one first if i'd known, love jun!) but those guys look like they really look the part. curly hair and all! and this girl is much cuter than the girl in the taiwanese version.

finally they came out w/ a poster that's to die for :) love gu hye sun's pic...so "manga like" & she looks really young here w/o really trying. As for flower boys? Definitely Eye Candies !!! Hope this show will live up to the hype....they've got a pretty decent cast :) Can't wait to see PD's version of HYD.

GHS looks so white !! Her face looks too plastic to me, i prefer the japanese actress..
I like Lee Min-ho's perm hair, it's like the manga !

Not impressed with Go Hye Sun's picture. I dont like how she's trying way too hard to be cute...I actually find it irritating.
And Holy smokes the amount of airbrushing they did on her face just to make her look young, it's so ridiculously obvious!

You know, I'm liking Lee Min-ho´s Jun-pyo (Domyouji) more and more every time I see the pictures. Yes, the hair is silly, but then it's supposed to be..

Wow, can't really wait until it starts...

GHS's picture is so cute!! I love that expression of her.. it's just that she's so WHITE!!

Thank you for the translations, I love the Domyoji's one! He even says something like that in the manga, "Is there any man more perfect than me???" LOL, I can't wait :D

KYAAA I can't wait to watch this show!!! XD I'm already feeling the fangirlish squeals coming~~~~~

Oh, I love the posters! Is it January 5th yet??

The short preview already came out on soompie. Somebody mentioned about Jun Pyo shower's scene, guess what.. your wish comes true!!

I suppose I have to see Kim Bum in action before I criticize but he looks very out of place in the group. Shota Matsuda will always be the perfect Soujiro in my eyes.

As much as I love Hyun Joong, I wonder if he'll be able to express Rui's broodiness.
This (I’m peaceful, oddly fun, and always warm) does describe him well though.

love the posters, but lee min-ho's hair is really fake-looking. i mean i know it's supposed to be outrageously ridiculous, but it should at least look naturally outrageously ridiculous. hope it lives up to the hype - can't wait to watch!

Yay~ the trailer is OUT!!!

Actually during the photoshoot vid, you could actually see Goo Hye Sun doing a "fighting" pose, posing tough and etc.

I guess its just they chose the "cute" picture for the posters :/

And for those who did not watch her drama something 19, she was able to portray being the cute and honest, yet the way she acted with the main lead guy and how they were fighting with eachother and bickering and called him names, I think she will be able to show that "tough" side of Makino ^^;;

And lets not forget her role as the Queen in the sageuk the "King and I". That role was far from trying to be cute or the icky girls who are completely helpless, as she was able to portray the Queen quite nicely as the queen, imo. (And the Queen in the drama was the sort of the "tough' and "strong willed" woman... who wasnt shy from telling the truth and standing up for it. So I dont think GHS will have trouble trying to be "tough" yet at the same time, be loveable and cute ^^;;)

Of-course, whether or not she can portray those sides.... i hope the scripts are well written.... I mean, even if GHS can be tough, if the script makes her say to be more cute, wouldnt she have to be more cute???

As for Mr. Curly Curly Perm, after a while perms start to get.... "loose". Like if its the perm right from the salon, it will be quite curly... but after a while, the perm will start to "loosen"... Since perm's arent forever and after some time they will go back to its original 'form", I think after a while the perm wouldnt be so curly and be more natural as time passes and the perm starts to loosen and straighten out to its original... hair... form ^^;;;

And since Hyunjoon has adult phobia... I hope he will manage to "survive".

As for Kim Bum.... meh. He's a good actor, but his image... well.. playboy? Than again, even if his image isnt like that, if he's a good actor he will be able to act out that role so that perhaps we wont see him in the drama and look at him as "Actor Kim Bum" but truely seem him in the drama as "F4 Yi Jung"

And I hope thats the same with the rest. Not look at them as who they are in real life, but to actually see them as if they truly are the characters from the drama. I think thats what makes dramas fun.... to forget who they are in real life, and look at the as real people from the story... if that made sense >.<

Since I think that its not fun to associate actors with what they are like in reality... since in dramas, thats the whole point of "acting" where they can become people 180 degrees different from who they are in rl.... well... mostly for good actors/actresses anyways and their acting skills.. :O

Hyun Joon looks the hottest and most natural in his picture...ahhh I'm already in love with his character

The more I see the promo posters, the more I like them. I'm not really feeling the little comments of the characters in the individual promo posters, but it works. For some reason, the comments feel a bit tacky when written in first-person, with an exception of Jun-pyo's.

"I suppose I have to see Kim Bum in action before I criticize but he looks very out of place in the group."
He looks really young, compared to the other F4 actors. Which makes sense, considering he still a teenager (1989-er). In my eyes, Kim Bum is the only one who could realistically pass off as a high schooler. The rest look like they've hit puberty quite early. I don't mind it that much though, especially since the F4 in the manga are probably supposed to look very enhanced and demi-god-ish than the average high school boy.

There's also the fact that Matusoda Shota and Kim Bum have different feels, for the lack of a better word: Matusoda Shota had the sexy womanizer thing going on in the J-adaptation, while Kim Bum looks more like the cute, sweet boy-next-door. But considering Kim Bum's acting skills, I think he could bring a different aspect to his character that would still be consistent with the original: more boyish, more playful -- which is how I saw Soujiro in the manga anyway. Though I did really like Matusoda Shota's portrayal...

"Yay~ the trailer is OUT!!!"
Technically, it's just a teaser. The official preview should be out next week.

I hope you won't mind me asking this, javabeans, but have you seen the synopsis and character profiles from Tony Moly? Not that releases of synopses and character profiles are necessarily always accurate, not even from the actual broadcasting company, but... there seemed be a lot of information on there.

Again, I have to say it,... Lee Minho= HOTNESS! He looks so pretty against that red backdrop with the roses in his hands.

Or maybe just the character of Domyoji = hotness?

"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ybncKqsNAs"

OOOOWEE!! We're getting the BEACH SCENE!! RuixMakino FTW!! :D :D :D

Sigh. Definitely looks like the studio that produced Goong S. Beautiful medium shots, terrific locations, princely posturing, an immaculate fairy tale-y look.

Oh that beach scene. I can't wait!

"Or maybe just the character of Domyoji = hotness?"

For love and hate, Doumyouji is always a raging bull.

For those of you who are interested...

Here's another version of the teaser trailer with the exact same scenes (except a bit of the beginning is cut), but of better quality and higher resolution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNrnUkFcdbc&fmt=18

waaah she's cute here, wow! and Minho, he's perfect~ he has the face fit for tsukasa, i hope his acting also fit for it too

Man..I've never been this excited to watch a hana yori dango..I think that this, the korean version, will be the best one..out of three versions :)

Yikes! I'd say that the 1st pic is cute but her eyes scare the crap out of me! Do actors not see how unnatural (some ET-like) they are with those big-eyes lens?

ugh..again they get Doumyoji's image incorrect for the promo posters.....
im starting to get worried about how they are going to portray him
in the last poster, he looked like a dweeb. in this one, he looks like he is wearing a scottish skirt (kilt?).....or maybe a weird tie around his waist...can't they just be classic and cool with their styling?!!?

and RUI.....what is that flower doing in his chest?!? I do not think the manga rui would wear sumthing like that! :(

i love jun-pyo's tagline! its just so tsukasa and they way they permed his hair was exactly like in hanadan's manga! best adaptation of all! moreover tsukasa was supposed to be the tallest of the rest, the japanese version didnt potray it.. guess korean one is the best though =)

hahaha..........love it tlaga ang boys over flowers 4ever

yi jung sunbae so cute
and
jun pyo
omg tlaga
