Discovering Koreanovelas, Asianpop and Kim Hyun Joong - Part I

I was never really a fan of any Koreanovelas or generally, Asianovelas that invaded the Philippine TV since years ago. Mostly because the ones I have seen for a few minutes were all tearjerkers that depressed me. Additionally, watching on TV screen Tagalog dubbed shows with uncoodinated lip movements by foreign looking actors/actresses were hilariously awkward. 

But when I saw one episode of Princess Hours with actress Yoon Eun Hye the other year, it made me think that it might not be depressing to watch koreanovelas or Asianovelas after all if it could be as funny and cute as the Princess Hours and as long as I can stop laughing at the uncoordinated lip movements of the actors/actresses.

Nevertheless, my koreanovela interest waned after Princess Hours until Boys Over Flowers came. I am just a sucker for tough and at the same time, sassy and funny female characters. Jan Di as played by Goo Hye Sun quite fits the bill; which is why, I started following her escapades in Boys Over Flowers (BOF).

It was just a matter of time though that BOF’s male eye candies caught my eye too. How can I not? I can hear my female neighbors’ scream from miles away each time one of the F4’s appeared on screen not to mention the fact that I can see my preteen nieces wiggling and giggling each time they watch the BOF guys.

The one that I really like among the four eye candies was Kim Hyun Joong. His Jin Hoo character was mysterious, talented, stubborn but dependable for Goo Hye Sun's Jan Di. Did I say I started wiggling and giggling too with my nieces after watching the few episodes??

When ABS-CBN decided to change the timeslot of BOF to 545pm, I was royally disappointed. Just when I was starting to appreciate a koreanovela after Princess Hours, they decided to change to a timeslot that was quite inconvenient for me. Off I go to ever-dependable youtube. Ha! I got to finish BOF in less than one week’s time hehehehe!  That was from someone who disliked koreanovela or any Asianovela for a long time.

But I got intrigued with the comments I found attached on the BOF youtube videos: Kim Hyun Joong being married to someone named Hwang Bo and such.  There were nice comments and nasty comments about her.

Decidedly curious already, I did a few clicks and I found out that it was just a reality show entitled We Got Married. A very popular one at that and the very reason why Kim Hyun Joong who is the bandleader of a popular South Korean boy group, SS501, was chosen to play Ji Hoo’s character in Boys Over Flowers.
