Congratulations, parody contest winners!
by javabeans
Thanks to everyone who entered the Boys Before Flowers parody contest! We had a bunch of fantastic entries.
It was super difficult deciding who won, but Sevenses, saharial, and I have reached a consensus: We have selected one First Prize (owner of a brand-new OST and drama poster), one Second Prize (winner of the OST), and a whole slew of Honorable Mentions. I’ll be emailing winners shortly.
And first place goes to…
FIRST PLACE WINNER
Angela, (Untitled)
This one has no title, but a great ambiance. Shinhwa High School: Is it an elite swanky school, or hell?
SECOND PLACE WINNER
Sparkling0Cider, “Any Other World”
The editor’s description goes: “The protagonist wishes for a different life and when he finally gets it, he wants to go back to his old life and learns many lessons along the way.” We say: wonderful use of clips to totally reconstruct a different story! (And great songs.) This is a movie I’d totally want to see.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Steff, “Twilight”
There were several Twilight entries, all of which were well done. I thought this captured the tone of the original trailer remarkably well.
Reva, “FATE”
Here’s another example of a great use of clips to fashion a new (tragic) storyline.
summerxsummer00, “Obsession Before Flowers”
It’s evil Ji-hoo!
Steff, “A Walk to Remember”
I was surprised at how well BBF fit into the trailer for A Walk To Remember, but you know, it really works.
Athene, “Redemption”
There’s something about BBF that works really well when taken dark, doesn’t it? Too bad the drama’s PD doesn’t see it…
jeune daisy, “Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy”
Fabulous use of song, and YES those skirts are a little… shall we say, inappropriate?
missmanderley, “Twilight”
As I mentioned above, the Twilight parodies were all well-made. I LOVE that we got multiple versions! Watch: [ Youtube ]
jeune daisy, “Twilight”
Intriguing to see how the same scenes can be cut in different ways for differing impact, isn’t it?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUBMISSIONS!
If you sent in a video and it isn’t listed below, it’s probably because you didn’t send a youtube link — if you’d liked to be added here, just leave a comment with the link and I’ll update the list.
(For instance, there was a cute Powerpuff Girls entry, and a “Second Prince” video that turned Yi-jung and Jun-pyo into brothers, for which I don’t have streaming links. Please send!)
Thanks everyone!
dunlop, “Rent” (See the original Rent trailer here.) [ Youtube ]
dunlop, “Her Best Moves” parody [ Youtube ]
Elaine, “Power Hana’s” (aka Mighty Morphin Power Hanas?) [ Youtube ]
jeune daisy, “Arirang” [ Youtube ]
jeune daisy, “Dschinghis Khan.” Great use of song depicting our “match made in paradise”! [ Youtube ]
jeune daisy, “ShangHaiTan” [ Youtube ]
Jo, “DieJerkDie,” a giggle-inducing look at the Yi-jung and Ga-eul relationship. [ Youtube ]
Kim Tran, The characters “sing” along to FT Island’s “Magic” [ Youtube ]
missmanderley, “High School Musical 3” [ Youtube ]
Reva, “Pride and Prejudice.” Jun-pyo as Darcy, who can refuse? [ Youtube ]
Sandy Chang, “It Started With a Kiss” [ Youtube ]
Sparkling0Cider, “Bewitched Over Flowers.” Ji-hoo reminisces about his first love while playing the piano. (I was happy we got at least one video playing with the Ji-hoo/Jun-pyo pairing!) [ Youtube ]
veiledveritas, “Unrequited.” This one is for all the Rui fans out there! Poor Ji-hoo’s left with his unrequited love. [ Youtube ]
vi, “Flowers Over Boys,” an alternate ending. [ Veoh ]

Here's an updated link since my original channel got deleted: https://youtu.be/JiKJdNjQIaU
Obviously, I never expected to win (which is why there's no title and it lacks my username), but I worked really hard on this, and it took me forever, so I didn't want it to be gone permanently.

Haha! These are amazing. Watching the 'Twilight' and 'A Walk to Remember' trailers was like a surreal experience, especially hearing Mandy Moore's voice coming out of Jandi's mouth...I still can't quite comprehend it, lol!
BBF fans are so talented.

Wow these are all amazing. Congratulations to Angela for winning. The atmosphere and intensity was really well created. I like how it zoomed into the words like despair, jealousy etc and then the clips were shown.
And also congrats to Sparkling0Cider, probably my favourite one!
The music choice was BRILLIANT. It worked so well to help tell the story and the scenes were soo well picked. The part where JP opens his eyes in hospital was great and I especially loved the 2nd half. 1:22-1:25 really just set the mood of how his life's changed. And then the introduction of JD was so good.
Your version is so convincing it even made me forget the real story of BOF for a while and forget the real context of those scenes!
Few other favs:
Steff: Really liked how the scenes were picked to correspond with the original Twilight trailer, like the shot of New Caledonia looked a lot like the dark forests in Forks! And then the big fight at the end.
Athene: Reminds me of the Requiem parody and just as good, love the dramatic music
summerxsummer00: oo good choice using that particular music of JJ Lin's and i love the idea.

I loved Sparkling0Cider's “Any Other World.” And jeune daisy's “Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy” made me laugh so hard. (I still can't believe that song even exists and is by THAILAND's pop star!). And yeah, the skirts were always a little too short in BBF. Good point.
Good job everyone. I don't think I can make even a 5 sec video like that.

It's really impressive that background music can change the experience of the drama so much. All entries posted here are awesome =)
P.S. The last bit of the first parody comes from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.

hmmm. i think everyone loved the any other world video. me too. just in awe. the songs were great. i thought our first prize wasnt that good, in trying to reconstuct something else. maybe the appreciation for the first prize should be viewed in another angle. but its okay. since both of them won the prize.
congrats. umedaeto.!

Wow!!! All of these parodies are excellent!!! I'm completely blown away by the creativeness of those who made them. My favorites are.....
* dunlop's "Rent" b/c it has all the cast....seriously, Woo Bin barely exists in BOF and he's ignored in these parodies too....where's the love for Woo Bin, people???? LOL!
* reva's "Pride & Prejudice" b/c it's my favorite book of all time!!!! Jane Austen rocks!!!
* elaine's "Power Hanas" is my absolute favorite b/c I used to watched Power Rangers after school....lol....Seriously, JP ---> Hana sexy??? Woo Bin ---> Hana Gansta??? Kim Bum ---> Hana Awesome??? JK ---> Hana POW???...."dies from laughter*....reminds me a lot of BOF where things don't really make sense and so ridiculous sometimes but we all love it!
Thanks to those who created these parodies!!! You guys rock!!!

The videos are great. Congrats to the winner. The Video was very suspensefull, you would think it was a horror flick instead of the cute love comedy that it is. Or atleast that I find it to be.
By the way & this is totally out of the loop. Does anyone out there know how to post a letter to South Korea. I'm to send a letter to a person I know, but have NO IDEA how to post all of the inforamtion he gave me.
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The talent and creativity, in all these parodies, are amazing. Thank you to everyone for sharing and to Dramabean, sevenses and saharial for holding this contest.
It was wonderful fun watching all the parodies. And, I'd like to also thank jeune daisy for the "Shanghai Tan" version. It hadn't occurred to me that the lyrics of the song is so descriptive of JD's feelings and dilemma. JD is feeling happiness and dread at the same time.

First Place:
The bg music complemented very well with the trailer.
And the scene that makes it seems like Goo Joon Pyo was going to rape her..like OMG!
Haha. GOOD JOB!
Second Place:
LOVED IT!!! I totally love how to turned the actual story around and made it a totally different story.
You were very creative with the scenes you used to describe is life as a lower class person. *hehehe…the scene in the nam-san cable … that was hilarious to me…but you used it well!
GREAT JOB!
Twilight:
OMG! This would totally be a HOT vampire movie! Hahaha.
Imagine Goo Joon Pyo as a vampire. *HOTNESS!
Fate:
It’s a typical Korean drama with the cancer scenes and stuff…but it’s a cliché love story that just keeps on hooking us. ^^
Obsession Before Flowers:
WOW~ this one really caught me off guard. Hahahha. Ji Hoo has an obsession for….not Geum Jandi but for Goo Joon Pyo? Hahaha. But then again…who doesn’t love him? LOL
Nice work!
A Walk to Remember:
WOW…how do people get so creative? I would’ve never even thought of ‘A Walk to Remember’ when watching BBF. Hehe…it really goes though.
Love the part when the girls come to Jandi and says, “Nice sweater” and she says “Thanks!”
LOL the facial she had in that scene was hilarious.
Redemption:
BBF really does work well with a dark story line. Maybe they should have a movie of BBF with a dark story. ^^
Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy:
This is different from the rest.
It’s funny how it says that she’s intimidating but only to people who don’t have the type of ride that’ll make her want to hop in (the scene used for this was funny)
Twilight:
LMAO! @ Goo Joon Pyo saying that he’s 17.
Short but it was good!

@37 Auntie Mame
After I made Shang Hai Tan version, I found out that someone may don't understand it, that why I tried to put eng sub on the rest of vid. that I made.
Anyway, Shang Hai Tan used to be very popular because it was an ost of The Bund, a drama about Shang Hai's God Fathers, and I think BOF's boys...dress and act like them. I am multilanguage ( but no good at any language) so I tried to made and use the universal song. Thanks for this contest ,javabeans. I enjoy it so much.
