Boys Over Flowers (Episode 5)

As she’s getting bullied in a really bad way, Jandi thinks about all the other times that Ji Hoo saved her but now realizes that no one will be there to save her this time… but JUN PYO ARRIVES TO SAVE HER! He beats up her classmates.

And tells her he’s sorry. Really liked this scene, the way he held her and got his fancy coat all dirty ♥.

He says he believes her ♥. (ABOUT DAMN TIME.) alsjdkfls Minho was perfect in this scene; more than being really angry with the people who threw her off her bike and threw stuff at her, he looked mostly furious with himself.

 He helps her clean up, but continues to insult her, like, “Are you stupid? You should have ran away!!!”

I think he … wants to kiss her again when he’s cleaning her face XD. But he stops himself and tells her to clean herself up. Then he goes outside to calm himself down (LMAO) and pout.

F2 brings Min Ji (K-Sakurako; I finally know her name!) to see Jun Pyo. All the actors were so good in this scene. LMH is really … leader-ish. Like his face and the way he carries himself like he’s always in perfect control of the situation. It also has a lot to do with his height (for example, in the Japanese version, Matsujun was also effective, but I also felt like the other F4 guys could totally take him in a fight XD), I suppose, lol. Plus the way F2 stayed quiet during Jun Pyo’s interrogation of Min Ji was aces!!

 Flashback to F4 kids! You can see Jun Pyo reading, Ji Hoo playing his violin, Ee Jung making little clay cups, and … I think Woo Bin is playing …. some kind of board version of Command and Conquer, maybe?   SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

 Turns out little Jun Pyo was a major asswipe to little Min Ji. And she never forgot how they looked at her like she was a monster. I don’t remember feeling too sorry for Sakurako in the Japanese version, but I did feel quite sympathetic toward Min Ji here, until she started groveling. Jun Pyo even says that although he doesn’t remember the incident, he did something he is sorry for. (Tsukasa in the Japanese version most certainly did not apologize for this, although in that version, he was the one that got beaten up by Sakurako’s goons, not Makino.)

But she doesn’t want to hear that he’s sorry, she wants to hear that HE WANTS HER. All the plastic surgery, she got for him. He tells her that he feels sorry for her; she’s pathetic and still the same monster she was back in kindergarten. No, worse, because at least when Min Ji was a kid, she had a beautiful heart (she chased away a bee for him). Ouch. Great scene ♥. (Woo Bin: I DON’T RLY WANT TO BE HERE.)

Jun Pyo goes to find Jandi ♥. Dammit, I love them more than is healthy. He says he threw away all her clothes and bag cause they were all dirty and ripped. She gets angry and asks why clothes just can’t be washed and fixed, “I AM THE DAUGHTER OF A DRY CLEANERS!!”

 The next morning, Jandi wakes up to find herself being waited on! Jun Pyo had ordered his staff to replace her clothes, bag, and bike ♥. And I really like the actor playing the butler ♥. So cute! He says that, on Jun Pyo’s orders, he spent all night trying to find exact replacements for her stuff.

 MEANWHILE. JUN PYO IS OVER AT JANDI’S HOUSE. I LOVE HOW HER BROTHER OPENS TO DOOR TO HIM AND THEN SHUTS IT IN HIS FACE XDDDDDDDDDD. ALSO HER FAMILY’S REACTIONS!!! PRICELESS. 

He eats their food. They’re worried since he’s probably never eaten this kind of food before. The mom apologizes for not knowing what rich young masters eat, lol.

They get excited when he does recognize one of the dishes! WHY SO CUTE, FAMILY!! Jun Pyo also looks pleased with himself.

Jandi goes back to school, where everyone’s looking at that dreaded monitor again XD. This time, it’s an article with pictures of Min Ji’s “ugly past” and addiction to plastic surgery. Ginger throwing in English phrases is so funny, lol. (And the actress playing her is pretty.

Even though Min Ji stabbed her in the back, she calls the terrible trio out on their own plastic surgeries and tells them there’s nothing wrong with Min Ji wanting to get plastic surgery too.

Min Ji hears Jandi defending her. Jandi slaps her twice (a rather saintly thing for Jandi to do, really; I WOULD HAVE RIGHT NUCLEAR PUNCHED HER) and tells her, “Don’t flatter yourself by thinking I’ll forgive you.” I think Min Ji leaves school…? Leaves town?? I dunno. But she leaves the stuffed bear for Jandi, telling her, “Thank you… let’s meet again.” Quite open-ended, no? I wonder how closely this Korean version is going to follow the jdrama in this aspect…

JUN PYO HAS SOME EXCITING NEWS! HE RINGS A BELL LMAO LMAO LMAOOOO. HE OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES THAT JANDI IS HIS GIRLFRIEND XDDD ♥. NOT EVERYONE IS HAPPY.

Jun Pyo says that from now on, doing anything against Jandi is the same thing as doing something against Jun Pyo and PERPETRATORS WILL SUFFERRRRRRRRRRR THE CONSEQUENCES. “I OBJECT!” (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOoooooOOOO.) “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” lol no one actually says that, but this is what I’m screaming in my head. I love Hyunjoong and want to see more of him, of course, but seriously JI HOO IS THE ROOT OF ALL PROBLEMS.

Jandi gets home to find out a whole bunch of new furniture and appliances crammed into her apartment, compliments of Jun Pyo~. Jandi says that they have to return everything cause there’s not enough space.

She goes to find Jun Pyo, who is adorably engrossed in a driving game while F3 are chilling with the ladies. LMAO, I laughed so hard. He’s really like a fish out of water. Really nice touch ♥. Jandi says that they have to talk. Jun Pyo doesn’t look up from his video game, so she blocks his way until he shoves her out of the way XD.

Jun Pyo tells her that he’s her boyfriend now so he’ll provide for her, lol. She asks him if he does this to all his girlfriends and tells him, “I told you, you don’t buy friends with money, but with your heart!” He seems to consider this and she goes on, “I don’t know what girls you’ve dated before, but this really annoys me, okay?!” alsjdkfls homg this was so cute. He says that he’s never dated anyone before ♥♥♥!! She’s the first girl he’s ever acknowledged after all. She softens a little after that, but then explodes again. He tsk-tsks at her temper XD.
Jandi looks around to see the other guys with girls and asks Jun Pyo if he plays like this all the time. Jun Pyo smirks at her and asks if she’s worried, before explaining that he usually doesn’t bring girls in here, but today’s a party!

I thought Jun Pyo looked so handsome here XD ♥♥♥. Not to mention CALCULATING! Jandi looks visibly upset/shocked at seeing Ji Hoo with these girls. (Much more toned down than in this scene in the Japanese version, though! When Rui got back, he was making out with like three different girls…)

Ee Jung wonders what’s up with Ji Hoo. Jun Pyo says that Ji Hoo is not as pathetic (and reserved) anymore, that he’s acting more like a person, “First time in a long time that I like him.” (I’m loving this drama, but I don’t really feel the Jun Pyo – Ji Hoo friendship at all…. they don’t even seem to acknowledge each other.

 MORE JUN PYO – JANDI :D. SUCH A CUTE SCENE. He rolls out a coin to her and hides and laughs himself silly watching Jandi get so excited over 500 won. Then he drags her off to a department store.

His staff tell Jun Pyo that the store can’t be cleared out just yet. Jun Pyo is all, “YOU EXPECT ME TO WAIT THREE HOURS?” and then sets off to clear out the store in his own way: by setting off the fire alarm. Everyone freaks out and rushes for the exit, while Jun Pyo is about it.

ALTHOUGH I DON’T THINK HE HAS GOOD JUDGMENT LOL. Those were monstrosities of a flower shirt and rose-colored jeans he chose for himself. But … I think he pulls them off? Really well, actually? I can’t believe my bias has come to this!

 THEY’RE GOING ON A TRIP. BUT FIRST EE JUNG MUST GET GAEUL TO COME ALONG TOO. *explodes* Their chemistry is through the roof!!!

He lets her believe that Jandi’s been in an accident and they have to leave RIGHT NOW if they want to see her XD.

 VROOM TO JUN PYO’S PRIVATE PLANE. He tells Jandi that he got permission from her parents for her to go on this trip and he’s even brought Jandi’s friend along so they wouldn’t be too worried, isn’t he nice? 

Fancy plane *___*. Jandi asks Jun Pyo if she’s even close enough to him to go on vacation with him and why didn’t he just ask for her opinion first! (This must be to spite all of us fans watching this and WISHING WE WERE IN HER PLACE, lmao.) He says that he wanted to go somewhere nice with her, so all preparations have been taken care of.

Jandi and GaEul think about the porridge shop and decide that this won’t do, they have to go. (Where? They’re already in the air!) They stop in their tracks when Jandi spots a sleeping Ji Hoo and when the flight attendant brings out a yummy meal. HOT BOYS AND FOOD MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER, THIS IS TRUE!

NEW CALEDONIA IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL. JEALOUSY! She’s there with four hot guys, too. 

The girls go to get their fortunes told. I don’t know why I found this so funny, but I FOUND IT SUPER. Loved it ♥! The fortune teller tells Jandi that she sees her husband and her soulmate on this island, with her. BUT THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT MEN. (EXCUSE ME, WHAT?) And then the fortune teller tells Jandi that she’s gonna lose something important … as a woman…. *DYING* ah this was a great scene.

Jandi awakes screaming … we learn that whole fortune-teller encounter was a dream. She’s about to tell Ga Eul about her dream, but Jun Pyo suddenly shows up and informs her, “You’re going somewhere with me … you’ll know when we get there.”

She asks Ga Eul to help her. Jun Pyo asks Ee Jung to help him and Ee Jung stops Ga Eul from getting up, lolololol. Ga Eul tells Jandi, “Be strong!” and Ee Jung asks her, “What, is Jandi going to war now?”

Ee Jung gets to babysit Ga Eul, which he clearly doesn’t want to do, lol. But Ga Eul is enchanted by the scenery (it’s her first time in New Caledonia) and wants to take pictures. She runs up to get a better view, while he tries to calm himself down with, “I must be patient, I must be patient.

Then she screams and he runs after her, trying to find her. Turns out she’s just tricked him into going to the top for a nicer view. She says this is payback for him lying to her about Jandi being in an accident. Ee Jung tells her it wasn’t a complete lie and “those two— it’s only a matter of time.” LOADED WORDS!! Ga Eul is all NO THAT’S NOT HAPPENING!!! and Ee Jung asks her, “What are you imagining?” Then he breaks out into a big, knowing smile :D!

Meanwhile, Jun Pyo and Jandi are out on their date … so romantic *sighs*. (I swear, this damn drama makes me feel like I’m a high schooler again lol. I’m old, so that was years ago XD.) Also I’m starting to love that ‘One More Time’ song … probably because it’s played during all my favorite Jun Pyo – Jandi parts.

Jandi is amazed and asks how he did all of this? Is he a genie? Jun Pyo flips out and asks “Who is ‘genie’? Who is that jerk?!” LOL. She has to explain she means the genie from Aladdin’s lamp. The following conversation was absolute aces asljdfkls. Nyuh ♥. I love them so much. She tells him that the genie can’t do everything, like it can’t kill anyone or bring anyone back to life or … make people fall in love.  Jun Pyo says he’s better than the genie. I’ll say! They don’t make genies this handsome!

Jun Pyo phones Jandi’s family and lets her talk to them :). Her family is ALL KINDS OF STOKED that she’s with Jun Pyo. Jun Pyo watches all of this, notices she’s about to cry, and hesitatingly asks if he did something wrong… She says he didn’t and that she’s thankful for everything he’s done for her. Really, really touching scene ♥.
