Boys Before Flowers: F4 Special Edition (Parts 3 & 4)
by javabeans
As announced, Mnet has (finally!) released the last two parts of the four-part F4 “After Story” music drama, featuring Ji-hoo’s (Kim Hyun-joong) and Jun-pyo’s (Lee Min-ho) segments.
Although the songs were pretty nice to listen to, the first two parts with Kim Bum and Kim Joon were rather disappointing, imo. Like those parts, the last two also featured mostly old footage cobbled together into a new video. I thought Ji-hoo’s was pretty lame (there have been better fanvideos), but at least Jun-pyo’s had a little bit of new footage.
SONG OF THE DAY
Lee Min-ho – “My Everything.” His pronunciation could be better (everyTING? ah, well, just pretend he’s going for a rasta accent) but I love how husky his voice is. I had no hopes for his singing voice (after his CF/digital single for Cass beer was so annoyingly overproduced with barely audible vocals), so this is a nice surprise. [ Download ]

Just as Episodes 1 and 2 featured songs sung by the actors (Kim Bum’s “I’m Going to Meet You Now” (지금 만나러 갑니다) and Kim Joon’s “To Make Empty” (비워내기)), these segments feature songs sung by Kim Hyun-joong and Lee Min-ho.
Ji-hoo’s theme is “Sometime” by SS501, while Jun-pyo’s is “My Everything.”
Episode 3 (Ji-hoo): “Sometime”
Kind of meh, isn’t it?
Thankfully, Jun-pyo’s video is much more satisfying than Ji-hoo’s, if only because it actually has a narrative and gives an air of closure:
Episode 4 (Jun-pyo): “My Everything”
I enjoyed Boys Before Flowers as much as anyone — hey, I have more than 100,000 words written exclusively on this series to prove it! — but I put this drama behind me a while ago, and I’ll be relieved when it finally puts itself to rest. I’m much more eager to see what these lovely boys do next, rather than seeing them forced to milk their popularity from this one thing.

Hi Javabean,
This may be a little unrelated to the topic. But I'm wondering if you know what Jun Pyo name means. Jan Di means grass, right? I want to know if Jun Pyo name has any meaning like Jan Di. Please let me know if you do. Thanks.
Now, back to the topic... Yea, I agree with you. Jihoo's part is pretty lame. Jun Pyo's part is just ok. Youtube fanmade are a lot better than these music videos. I'm curious about how they gonna come out for their next project, too. I'm sure Kim Bum will be able to come out of BBF. He is such a talented actor. Lee Min Ho is good, too. But I'm waiting to see what each of them is capable of as a true actor.

So far, none of those Taiwanese F4 boys had made it big by thier own after their F4 days. The primary reasons being they lack the substance to act well or sing well. They were primarily a bunch of empty heads with only high school diplomas.
If there is a lesson to learn from the Taiwanese F4, I believe the Korean F4 needs to beef up their acting skills, add depth to their characters and expand their skill sets.

Geum Jan Di cookies - Simply adorable!
Ji Hoo's MV was boring, the basis of Goo Joon Pyo's part 4 was at least a bit original...

Didn't really expect much from this MV. So I'm not really disappointed. But. LMH's song is kind of like a compensation for the flashback MV.
And just like you, JB, I'm already over the BoF fever. But right now, my new obsession are F4 and GHS themselves. So, yeah, I'm waaaay over the drama. But the actors? Oh yeah. I'm excited to see what they will do in the future. I do hope that they'll pick better roles so they won't be known as 'F4' or 'JanDi'. (Well, I wouldn't worry about GHS but I do hope F4 the best of luck.)

I've been crossing my fingers, waiting for Min Ho to announce his next project. Of the four, I feel like Kim Bum and Min Ho have the two most promising futures as talented actors. We'll see how Kim Bum will mature as an actor in the upcoming Dream, but since this is the first tangible proof of Min Ho's potential, we'll have to see. I really hope that he's one of those actors who won't let their management companies prioritize money over real opportunities. I want him to take on a character with inner turmoils or transformation so that we get to see how well be portrays the layers. He managed to give Gu Jun Pyo a lot of depth that viewers did not expect from the previous adaptations of the drama. Personally, I don't want him in anymore eyeliner/tied up hair. Seems like he/his management is trying too hard to leave Gu Jun Pyo behind. What we need is a solid performance! I would cry if he becomes a male version of Kim Tae Hee (even though she never really delivered...so we were never let down in the first place).

I've got a feeling that Kim Hyun-joong agrees with you javabeans about putting BBF to rest. There is absolutely no new footage of him in these four MV's. He probably was ready to walk away from this project once the series ended. I thought it was odd, watching the earlier two specials, that he wasn't included in those classroom scenes. Production did an awkward job on this one.
jandi cookies - so yummy adorable!

I don't know when the actors from BOF actually start acting again rather than modelling for every clothing line and phone Korea is producingat the moment then I'll be interested, till then im sick of hearing about Lee Minho and co.
And these videos were terrible, what 5 years later? Nothings changed.

while the f4 idol rage was on full throttle -- i believe i personally contributed at least 100% of the heat and energy needed to sustain it. but you're right, it's time to let it go and look forward to what projects the f4 *men* will undertake individually. that is, AFTER i've read all 30+ volumes of Hana Yori Dango...umm, let's see, i'm on volume 20...

Hi JB! I don't think this drama will be put to rest soon since it's just starting to gain steam in other countries like in the Philippines.
Like you, I'm eager to know what these boys will be up to next since they're all very promising.

Totally disappointing. All four parts are lame.
They should just let it go, and leave a better memory for the end.
I don't think any of the F4 should do this kind of video. It's kind of cheap.
Well, at least JiHoo didn't do it.
My guess is that Kim HyunJoong already held a "Goodbye Jihoo" concert for about 5000 fans right at the time of last episode; so there was no reason for him to come back. Or he must be busy with his music career, or shooting CF.

The music videos in my opinion had no sort of fulfillment whatsoever.
They were basically recaps of the scenes with basically no moving story to conclude BOF.
I think it dragged on a bit by milking it for all it's worth and the production team don't know when to stop.
However, I loved Lee Min Ho's voice,, it is much more different from his CASS cf.
I was wondering if you can put Kim Hyun Joong's song up for download?
Thxx for recapping~

ok, that "everyting" song was pretty funny.
I don't think I'll be downloading it to listen to on a regular basis, as I'm sure it will get very annoying.
JB, you should host a big kdrama fan weekend party. I think it would be a hoot and I certainly would consider making the trip just for you.

"my everything" was pretty good considering i heard lmh isn't a strong singer at all...haha everyTing made me crack up:P but love him anyways dont we all?
i agree with most of you guys in saying this did nothing for BoF..the only part that remotely touched me was jandi's cookies. those were ridiculously adorable. almost scary that a guy like gu junpyo is supposed to be capable of that.
i hope this is the end. real end. we all love BoF, but it's had its (crazy, rollercoaster-like) time.

Well, F4 special edition reminds me of Meteor Rain..It was not that good though..
It happens once again..Although Group Eight had released F4 after story, it's not even make us (BBF lovers) satisfied..
I hope Group Eight can create another great story of F4 in one movie-makes everything clear ; What about F4 friendship? Will they keep their friendship and help each other when one of them is in trouble?-eventhough they have their own lives.. Jun Pyo-Jandi relationship after they get married, Will Ji Hoo get another precious girl in his life instead of Jandi?, Will Soul Couple get a happy end?-they get married for example haha..And Woo Bin get a beautiful girlfriend..
Hana Yori Dango the movie is the great example..
Can't wait for the moment..

Lame.
Lame.
More lame.
That said, I still get sucked in to watch the miking of this cash cow every time. I am like a battered spouse coming back thinking things will be different, somehow, for no explicable or logical reason. And then reality bites.
LAME.

I hope (but certainly am not so sure) that they will finally put this to rest and get the cast of BOF onwards to potentiate themselves, or at least, some well needed rest, anyways.
