Boys Over Flowers (Episode 6)

I AM NOT AT ALL ASHAMED OF HOW MANY CAPS I HAVE OF THIS SCENE.I WILL BE BACK WITH GIFS.  IN SLOW MOTION.  CRYING, I LOVE HIS FACE, LIKE ‘I’M A GOD AND I’M ABOUT TO LET YOU HAVE A LOOK AT SOMETHING MARVELOUS!’

She tells him there’s a snake under his foot and he runs off screaming, “AHHHHHHHH!!! I HATE SNAKES THE MOST!! AUGHHHH!! SERIOUSLY!!!”

A PREDATOR STALKING HIS PREY. LOL, KIM BUM ♥. (Also note Jun Pyo unceremoniously passed out on the beach chair XD.)
He asks if she needs any help putting sunblock on; she refuses his help. GET TOGETHER ALREADY. (There’s so much support for this pairing that I genuinely fear there will be riots in front of the KBS building if it doesn’t happen.)

Woo Bin continues to be the king of corny lines, whether they be in English or Korean. He says, “My baby’s skin is like baby’s skin.” As long as it’s not “YO YO YO MAN WASSUP”, I’m cool with all the awkward thing he says. And does (THE DANCING HAHAHAHAHAHAHA).

Jandi’s drowning!

Ji Hoo rushes past a stalling Jun Pyo (who can’t swim and had a terrible experience when he was younger) to save her. SWOON. Hyunjoong looked really gorgeous and princely here ♥.

Jandi is okay, thankfully, but she opens her eyes to see Jun Pyo walking away in the distance. He looks mighty disappointed with himself.

We learn about why Jun Pyo can’t swim: he was kidnapped when he was 8 years old by a hyung who used to take care of him (in place of his parents) and the getaway car (with Jun Pyo inside) plunged into the river T__T. Giving Jun Pyo this back story was a nice touch, imo … also explains his trust issues. And Korea totally knows what we want because rather than too many flashback scenes, we have JUN PYO SOAKING HALF-NAKED IN A HOT TUB. And beating himself up for not coming-to-terms with his fear of water.

HE DECIDES TO PREPARE A BIG MEAL FOR EVERYONE!

He makes Jandi sit on a table where there’s a looooot of food and only two places to sit. He asks her, “How can a swimmer almost drown?!” She says, “It’s possible if you get cramps!” He says he doesn’t want to see her weak like that again, so she should eat all this nutritious food. I love how they look at each other T__T. Jandi looks so pretty! And Jun Pyo looks ridiculous, but whatever.

Jandi sees Ji Hoo emo-ing near the water.
And DAMN this was a cute scene. The little girl that was selling flowers in the previous episode runs up to Ji Hoo for a hug, asks him where his pretty girl is, and gives him those white flowers he had an eye on before, telling him, “Give these to your girlfriend.”


MEANWHILE. Ee Jung saunters up to Ga Eul, who is piling food on her plate, and tells her that Jun Pyo doesn’t like chubby girls. But he (Ee Jung) has a night gown in his suitcase that may fit her better. GREASY. GREAAAAAAAAAASY XDD. She asks him what the heck he’s talking about and he says, “You like Jun Pyo, right?”
Here’s what she thinks about his question. This is such a great “AS IF” expression; I think Cher Horowitz herself would be quite proud.
LOL. Then he asks her why she acted so weird earlier when he mentioned that Jandi and Jun Pyo would get together? Does she … like Jandi?
Ga Eul blurts out that it’s not like that, it’s that Jandi already has someone else she lik—–

There’s more awkward lulz-y dancing. You’d think they could afford dance instructors! Or someone to teach them how to not be so … awkward, lol. This has got to be the least intimidating and most freaking adorable F4 ever.

Jun Pyo’s also planned an extravagant fireworks display! SHOWTIIIIME!

Jun Pyo surprises Jandi in her room (and right when she’s coming out of the shower! TSK TSK).
She thinks back to her epic lulz of a dream of the fortune teller and fears the worst.

But he really just wants to give her an anklet he bought at a flea shop :D. He tells her, “Cheap stuff looks good on you!” She asks him if he just came to her room to give her this and he’s like, “Yes… did you think I wanted to jump you? I won’t do anything if the girl doesn’t like me back.” (UM, DID YOU FORGET LIKE THE THREE OTHER TIMES?!)
He tells her that even if the anklet was cheap, he’ll kill her if she loses it! (We find out later that you’re supposed to give this anklet to someone you want to be with for the rest of your life ♥.)

Jandi takes a walk in the middle of the night and chances on Ji Hoo, who is emo-ing near his boat. She finds out what happened between him and K-Shizuka in Paris. He said he felt pathetic when he was there, just waiting all day for her in an empty apartment. The part where he said, “Do you know how it feels to be excess baggage to a woman you love?” was killer T___T.

She gets back to her room, where Jun Pyo is waiting for her and freaking out. He tells her, “I was worried about you! I feared the worst!”
Then, “Don’t go swimming by yourself anymore. Don’t take walks by yourself.”

AND WEARS IT THE NEXT DAY… why do you need to parade this around, why?! Jun Pyo notices it when they’re both getting breakfast (it’d be really nice if they could … acknowledge each other’s presence once in a while and not just when they’re throwing punches over a girl…) and grabs Ji Hoo’s wrist in alarm.

Jun Pyo helping Jandi onto her horse. He notices she’s not wearing the anklet he gave her. She fumbles and lies, “It’s in my room; I didn’t want to lose it running around.”

Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo get some drinks. Ji Hoo gives Jun Pyo the anklet/bracelet and asks him to return it to Jandi.

Jun Pyo is out of it for the remainder of the volleyball match. Still hot, though.
He gets a ball to the face and his nose starts bleeding. Everyone huddles around him to see what’s wrong.


Ji Hoo’s just paddling out there peacefully and here comes Jun Pyo blazing out of the gates and looking very, very unstable and just wild.

While Ji Hoo and Jandi go fishing. :* I thought this was so cute (and I’ll even grudgingly admit that they look very cute together) because Hyunjoong the actor is big on fishing :D. I bet he enjoyed filming this~!

Meanwhile, Ee Jung and Ga Eul have their own romantic scenes!! Ga Eul asks Ee Jung why he keeps following her; he very cheekily looks at her legs and tells her that although her legs look strong, she’ll tire out easily if she were to control the paddle boat herself.
They continue their conversation from the previous night and get to talking about soulmates. Ga Eul says that people do have a soulmate somewhere out there, but a player like him would never understand.

Jun Pyo takes Jandi on a magic helicopter ride. Please don’t defriend me for my lame Aladdin references ;__;.

He points out something to her. A HEART! He tells her, “If I ever found a girl that I liked, I promised myself I would bring her here.”

BAD NEWS ABOUT JI HOO AND K-SHIZUKA. Turns out K-Shizuka’s dating some elite politician, who they say will gradually become the next prime minister. (When I was watching this in LQ, I totally thought the dude in the photograph was Zac Efron and that was a major WTF moment for me XDD;;;;.)

Confused Jandi is still confused. Jun Pyo asks her if she has accepted his heart and leans in to kiss her. She avoids it.
He tells her, “Don’t make me wait too long.” (FORREALS. GIRLS WILL BE COMPETIN’. Even I would totally fight Jandi for him. Never mind that she could probably wipe the floor with me if she wanted. Or that he’s utterly and helplessly devoted to only Jandi (which is what I love most about him really ♥)


Jun Pyo punches Ji Hoo out. And tells Jandi that he wanted to believe in her so much, but she’s just played him as a fool again. T____T MY BREAKING HEART.  He tells her, “I showed you my whole heart … and this was your answer?  This time it’s really over.”

They are both outcasts at school :(. This was a really nice scene where they both took turns drawing angry!Jun Pyo with chalk and Jandi stalled when she was drawing Jun Pyo’s curly hair.

JUN PYO HAS ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT. He informs everyone that Ji Hoo is no longer a part of the F4 and that both Ji Hoo and Jandi will be expelled from school within a week.

The terrible trio inform Jandi that they don’t give a crap about her being expelled, but they DO care about Ji Hoo getting kicked out of F4 and being expelled. They tell her she has to take responsibility for tearing the F4 apart!!

More outcast!bonding. Ji Hoo tells Jandi to stop making such pitiful faces.


Ee Jung pays Ji Hoo a visit. He says that there were times where he thought he couldn’t handle Jun Pyo, but never did he think he’d have to confront Ji Hoo like this. He asks Ji Hoo WHY he kissed Jandi when he knew Jun Pyo liked her. Ji Hoo says, “Just because. Because I wanted to.” Ee Jung tells him, “If you had seduced my younger sister and dumped her three days later, I probably wouldn’t be this angry.”
THEN, “I CANNOT APPROVE OF HITTING ON A FRIEND’S GIRL.” YES, THANK YOU! WORD X INFINITY! WHO WOULD DO THIS?! LET HIM HAVE IT! Ee Jung informs Ji Hoo that, this time, no one will be on his side.

Meanwhile, Woo Bin is trying to make Jun Pyo reconsider his decision to expel Jandi and Ji Hoo. Woo Bin says it’s too harsh of a punishment.
Furthermore, Jun Pyo says that it’s even more unforgivable because Ji Hoo doesn’t even really like Jandi. He’s only using her to deal with his K-Shizuka problems.

Boys Over Flowers (Episode 7)

Jandi looks for Jun Pyo at school, to no avail, until she spots him getting into his car. I am gushing now, but I really, really like how they look at each other! It’s like PAGES of dialogue pass between them with a glance *__*.
Jun Pyo jumps into his car and takes off, leaving Jandi behind. She gets on her BIKE and beats him to his house. LOL HE IS SO SURPRISED. 
Jandi: “Let’s talk!” Jun Pyo: “No!” Jandi: “You stupid boy, come back here!” Jun Pyo: “NOOOOOOOOO!!!! STOP CHASING ME!!” SUCH A CUTE SCENE, MY GOODNESS ♥.
He gets into his car and sticks his tongue out at her :P ♥! (Somehow I don’t think he can be THAT angry with her if he can do something like that, lol.) Then drives off and Jandi’s stuck chasing him again~

Except this time, she’s got a car and some wickedly awesome help! It’s Jun Hee, Jun Pyo’s older sister, to the rescue. She is fabulous *_____*. They speed off after Jun Pyo and manage to cut him off and endanger the lives of other drivers.
Jandi learns that this awesome lady is Jun Pyo’s sister. Jun Pyo checks himself for bruises in the background. Jun Hee invites Jandi over to their house for a chat.

Dinner with Jun Hee, Jandi, and F2! (Jun Pyo is up in his room, starving.) Jun Hee asks F2 what they think about Jun Pyo’s plan to banish Jandi and Ji Hoo from school. Woo Bin is firmly against it; he can’t have this breaking up the F4. Ee Jung is also against it, but with some hesitations we never get to hear because Jun Hee cuts him off.

Jun Hee gives Jandi a ride home. Jandi asks her why she’s being so nice. I really liked this scene ♥. Jun Hee basically says that Jun Pyo is such a social mess that it’s a bloody miracle that he even has friends!! LOLOLOL. And it’s something she wants to encourage because THEIR MOTHER THINKS FRIENDSHIP IS A WASTE OF TIME.

We cut to starving Jun Pyo. He staggering around his room, clutching his stomach, going, “Ah, I’m so hungry! I’m SOOOOO HUNGRY!!”

Another very nice scene here! I could almost believe that they were close friends, lol. Ji Hoo says they’ve watched this movie together 10 times and somehow segues into an apology~. Jun Pyo’s expression was fascinating here :D. He softened for a split second.
THEN JI HOO HAD TO MENTION JANDI. RAWR. Jun Pyo gets up to leave, but not before he corrects Ji Hoo: they’ve seen that movie together 11 times. And if Ji Hoo were a real friend, he would know that and this whole mess would have never happened in the first place. Jun Pyo tells Ji Hoo that he should prepare himself for what’s coming, ie EXPULSION!

Jun Pyo heads to the principal office and orders him to expel Ji Hoo and Jandi. OR ELSE.

She hits him with her purse and he jumps on the table to get away from her, but she traps him with her knee.

She grabs him by the ear. SUCH A CUTE SCENE!!! He kept going, “Noona, noona, noona, let me go, noona! NOONAAAAAA!!”

She quizzes him on the types of guys that she doesn’t like: disgraceful guys, guys who bear grudges, etc, etc.
Jun Hee says that Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo will settle their argument through a sports competition, best of three, winner takes all. WOOBIN APPROVES.

Jun Hee says that the three people involved (Ji Hoo, Jandi, and Jun Pyo) will take turns drawing balls out of a machine to determine what three sports they will be competing in. IT WAS SO CUTE WHEN JANDI NUDGED JUN PYO TO GET UP ♥.

We learn that Jun Pyo sucks in comparison to Ji Hoo. Some nice shots of Jun Pyo sweating it out (except not really; guh it looks so cold) and taking a tumble. He asks his coach to tell him, honestly, if it’s possible for him to beat Ji Hoo. His coach doesn’t say anything. Jun Pyo is all ‘FORGET IT, I WILL WIN TOMORROW.’

Meanwhile, Ji Hoo is just patting his horse :D. WHY SO CUTE, HYUNJOONG!!! He hasn’t practiced at all. The coach asks him if he has to race and that he didn’t train the two masters just so they could compete against each other.

Ji Hoo and Jun Pyo ride into the stadium. Crowd is cheering for Jun Pyo mostly, who looks soooo smug like “My horse will kick your horse’s ass.”
Jun Pyo knows he’s not going to win against Ji Hoo on the normal route, so he takes another more dangerous one … not heeding his coach’s warning that the horse, Jupiter, won’t be able to ride again if he takes that route ;__;.
Jun Pyo wins!

Ji Hoo shows Jandi his horse.  So people are debating whether the horse’s name is “Louis” or “Rui” hmmm.  I’M GONNA GO WITH ‘RUI’ CAUSE IT JUST MAKES THE WHOLE DAMN THING 100000x MORE HILARIOUS.

Jun Pyo has permanently handicapped his horse :(. He looks very sorry about it. His sister tells him that he might have won that one equestrian match, but not anything else. She hopes that he’s learned from this, or his horse’s sacrifice would have been for nothing.

So the next competition … will be a car race. Jun Pyo looks smug. Ji Hoo … doesn’t.

Ahhh really this was the first time I’ve ever TRULY felt sorry for the Rui character (I don’t even remember feeling sorry for Oguri Shun’s Rui at all XDDD). There’s a flashback of little Ji Hoo sitting and crying at the scene of the car accident that killed his parents ;___;. Ji Hoo wakes up from his nightmare, wide-eyed and breathing heavily.

Ji Hoo sits in his racecar, trembling too much to turn the key in the ignition. Then he puts his head down on the steering wheel in frustration and beats at it. Then covers his ears to drown out the screaming in his memories

Jun Pyo is in a very, very good mood. He thinks he has the competition in the bag. F2 feel kind of bad about it, but Jun Pyo points out that he didn’t pick the car race  — Ji Hoo did.

Finally his sister puts her newspaper down and asks F2 what the hell Jun Pyo is going on about.

Finally his sister puts her newspaper down and asks F2 what the hell Jun Pyo is going on about.

Ji Hoo knows he’s not gonna win the race against Jun Pyo normally, so THE MIND GAMES ARE ONNNNN! Ji Hoo and Jandi eat lunch together at the racetrack. Jandi asks Ji Hoo not to continue with this anymore, but Ji Hoo says that K-Shizuka taught him how to drive and he’ll be okay. Jun Pyo is actually out there driving on the racetrack and loses control of his car when he sees Ji Hoo with Jandi.

Woo Bin goes to see Jun Pyo before the race. I admit I laughed hard at “HEY BUDDY!”, but it’s still better than “YO! YO MAN WASSUP!” The manly handshake was really cute though :*. Woo Bin asks Jun Pyo if he really has to race against Ji Hoo; Jun Pyo glares at him, so Woo Bin does the smart thing and wishes him good luck XD.

Ee Jung tells Ji Hoo to be careful on the racetrack~

Ga Eul stops Ji Hoo to ask if he has some kind of hidden card to win because JANDI WILL BE EXPELLED IF HE DOESN’T WINNNNNNNN!!!!

There’s Jun Pyo melting scrap metal with his eyes. And Ji Hoo heroically deflecting it with his own glare. (When they’re done fighting over Jandi, they should … fight crime together.)

“DAMN STRAIGHT I HAVE A HIDDEN CARD!!!” Ji Hoo hugs Jandi in full view of Jun Pyo.
Ji Hoo tells Jandi to play along, saying this is his “hidden card” and will save them both from being expelled. He glances back at Jun Pyo to make sure Jun Pyo is still watching.

“NOW WATCH THIS, YOU PUNK!” Ji Hoo plants one on Jandi’s forehead and walks away to the race.  We hear a voiceover of him telling Jun Pyo, “I’m sorry.”

VROOM! Jun Pyo plays right into Ji Hoo’s mind games … he keeps thinking about Ji Hoo kissing and hugging Jandi and loses control of his car again~.

THE SISTER CELEBRATES HER BROTHER’S DOWNFALL.  (Big sisters tend to do this; I can speak from experience ^___^!)   And then declares that everything is so interesting!  And that she’s happy to be back in Korea because Hollywood can’t match up to this drama!  Cause Jun Pyo has more issues than National Geographic!

FINALLY! The last challenge (picked by Jandi) is revealed. It turns out to be SWIMMING!
Ee Jung says that he will swim for Jun Pyo because he cannot forgive Ji Hoo quite that easily. BURN. Woo Bin is in too, for Jun Pyo.
They do some kind of Captain Planet thing. (IT WAS RLY RLY RLY CUTE.) I swear, this is the cutest and most faily F4 ever ♥.

Ga Eul is still worried about the outcome. She suggests that they put laxatives in Ee Jung’s porridge before the race. Their boss (who has a crush on Ee Jung, I think??) vehemently says no, so Ga Eul suggests running him over with a motorbike

She asks him to lose on purpose, telling him, “Isn’t it embarrassing to train so hard just to beat a girl?” He shoots back, “Isn’t it more embarrassing to have trained to hard and STILL lose?” He’s got a point there!

Jandi’s family knows that she’s facing expulsion at school because of the whole Jun Pyo – Ji Hoo situation. They tell her to apologize to Jun Pyo.

Jun Pyo runs into Jandi outside of her house.
He asks her where she’s going so late at night. She says she’s going to train for the swimming competition because “we” (her and Ji Hoo) have to win. “WE?” Jun Pyo doesn’t like that.
He asks her her WHY it has to be Ji Hoo?

Then he grabs her into a hug. I AM SUCH A LOSER BUT I WAS MAKING SQUEAKING NOISES HERE.
He wants to hear her say that she likes him, just this one time…
