Lee Min-jung added to Boys Before Flowers

[SPOILER ALERT!]

Those familiar with the Hana Yori Dango storyline may have been anticipating this, the casting of Gu Jun-pyo’s fiancée who will throw a wrench in the budding romance between him and Jan-di.

The actress cast in the role is Lee Min-jung, whom I last saw playing Go Ara and Lee Eon’s best friend in last year’s Who Are You. I think she’s a great fit and a promising up-and-comer (and had even thought she might be a good choice for the role of Jan-di before it was cast).

She won’t be seen for several weeks yet, but the announcement confirming her casting already has fans speculating about the stories she’ll be featured in. Her character has grown up in several different countries and is therefore a bit different from the other upper-class snobs with her easygoing personality.

(Personally, I really like Lee, and her character sounds interesting and likable — so I wonder how they’ll manage to make the complication work. If they do this wrong, I can see myself jumping ship and rooting for her instead…)

This is indeed great news! Just looking at her and remembering her portrayal in Who Are You already makes me want to jump ship and root for her! There's just something about the actress playing Jan-di that I don't find alluring. However, I have a feeling Lee Min-jung's character will be annoying and stalkerish...but I really can't imagine this actress doing that! If only they could pull some kind of switch-er-roo with the actresses :P

You know, the one thing that was done RIGHT in the second series of Japanese HYD was Domyouji's fiancee. I adored her. She was bubbly and obnoxious, but once she understood how much Makino and Domyouji loved each other, she stepped out of the way. Did it hurt her? Hell yeah. But she did the right thing, and even came back to help them later on.

I can see why you thought she could have been Makino. She has that look. Strangely she also looks like LMH.......same coloring, face structure and features. Like her eyes and eyebrows. Now if she pouted she would look cute instead of annoying.

Confession time. I just can't like Jan-di and I really want to. I actually prefer her best friend played by Kim So-eun.

It's tough watching a series where you like everyone EXCEPT the lead actress.

Hmm.. what's the point in the "spoiler alert" when the whole news is on the front page anyway? The spoiling parts could have been added behind a "Read More" link... no? :)

Just ranting... ;)

The spoiler isn't the casting, it's her role in the series. I was thinking how I'd want to read something, and if i'd seen a warning in the first line said there were spoilers, I wouldn't continue reading. Would you prefer that there was no first-line warning? I'm not being snarky; i'm curious to know.

@azzuri & bebo ....
me either.. when i saw jandi pouting and started screaming, i would fast forward the screen until she's gone. It's painful to watch a drama like this..

I feel like jumping ship already! I even rooted for Minji! That's how badly I dislike the main actress... wait, no, I mean the main female character. She's soooooooooo annoying as of right now. Her constant shouting of lines make my head hurts. I must have said that a thousand times already. Too bad most of her scenes are with Lee Min-ho, I don't have the heart to skip forward those scenes.

Ahh, I remember her from WAY,, great choice, she's spunky, she's pretty, and she's lovable. Can't wait to see her wreak havoc with Jandi/Junpyo.

LOL @ some of these comments about jumping ship. I haven't seen much of Lee Min-Jung's work... I never watched who are you. Though I think she's really pretty, I'm actually pretty happy with GHS' acting and think she suits Jan Di/ Makino pretty well. As for Jan Di pouting and screaming, I can't really blame GHS cuz Makino's character is hella annoying in the manga (especially early on the series when she's screaming @ or kicking Domyouji for every little thing; the Japanese version definitely toned down this aspect of Makino's character a lot).

I agree with you Devi. Jandi screams and yells because she was freaking screeching and annoying in the manga...which thankfully she got better later on in the manga. In terms of look wise, GHS make a good Makino, each person has their own opinion and if people can't stay this Makino just don't watch the drama. No need to bash.

Jandi's character better step it up now!

I really liked Tsukasa's fiance in HDY, and looks like Lee will be a very sweet and likable character. However, as the japanese version we know how this is going to end don't we...

I think that if they do her character right, I'll jump ship anyway.

She was always suppose to be a pitiful character. You believe in her love and like her. It's the strength of Jandi and Jun Pyo's love and your liking of Jan-di that is supposed to hold you back from loving her.

Rather like Rui, I suppose?

Since I hate the Korean Makino, Jandi, with a burning fire, I think I'll end up liking her too much (unless they purposely make her do something really despicable as a way of saying. Which I think would ruin her and be a dirty way of shifting interest so I sincerely hope not).

I actually do like and sympathize with Jan Di, though I do like Inoue Mao's portrayal in the Japanese version better. Makino in the Japanese version feels a lot softer and more vulnerable, but I think we're beginning to see more moments of vulnerability in Jan Di as well. I think they just need to tone down her character a bit, and more people will be able to connect to her; I think this can be done without turning her into a total weakling.

I also agree with you, Devi. I think Jandi is more similar to Makino's character. Just finished HYD anime, dang.. she is really annoying to watch!! Love GHS' acting, she is so cute esp. the bar scene in 3rd ep.

GHS.. fighting!!!
