Thoughts: (here is a recap of my favorite scenes ... questions from Soompi members)
BEST F4 MOMENT:
The beginning when Jun Pyo, Yi Jung and Woo Bin (Ji hoo is always with Jan di or was he sleeping ) dressed up in their school uniforms for the first time while eating lollipops ... I freaking laughed so hard.
FUNNIEST GOO JUNPYO LINE:
"Geum Jandi? What's that? Ahhh? Geum Jandi? I was so busy that I didn't even notice that you haven't called me for 3 days and 13 hours?" -- Love this line too because it showed us a very adorkable Jun Pyo.
FUNNIEST GEUM JANDI LINE:
.. I can't remember her saying much funny lines. I do like when she bickers with Jun Pyo though.
FUNNIEST GEUM JANDI AND GOO JUNPYO MOMENT:
All moments when they're always bickering.
MOST TOUCHING GOO JUNPYO LINE:
When he confronted his mom in Macau, showing us that he really still truly cared about Jandi but also it shows how much it hurts that his mom is the one preventing him. -- This part made me cry too after the heartbreaking words he said to Jandi -- we see that he's hurting much more than we thought.
MOST TOUCHING GEUM JANDI LINE:
"I haven't lost to you, and I am not running away either. You're the worst person I've ever met. I'm leaving because I don't wish to entangle the ones I love to you. I'm just sorry that I can't save the one person I love the most from you." -- First confrontation of Jan Di against Mama Kang.
Also loved Jan Di's words at the pool scene at the last episode to make Jun Pyo remember their moments together.
BEST YOON JIHOO LINE:
"GOO JUNPYO!!!" Episode 24. -- If this is actually called a line, it was the best moment for Ji Hoo (at least for me) because I could feel his frustration and totally wanted to kick Jun Pyo.
BEST SONG WOOBIN LINE:
In the Macau scene when Jan Di saw Jae Kyung and said she was her lifesaver, while Woobin said, "hey, what about us, we're your lifesavers" -- that was so cute.
BEST SO YIJUNG LINE:
I'm not a fan of his angsty or cheesy moments. My fav line is when he makes fun of Jun Pyo's dumbness of pretending not to know Jandi on the phone. And he said something like we're embarrassed to know you Jun Pyo.
BEST SUPPORTING CHARACTER:
Mama Kang <--- Though she's evil to the core, I admit this actress really showed us how devilish a person can get.
BEST KISS:
If only they had extended that scene, but the best kiss for me was still the first by the swings. One of the sweetest moments of Jundi.
WORST KISS:
Seo Hyun and Ji Hoo's kiss. -- Both actors can't act well or they really felt awkward kissing like there's just something wrong with that scene.
WORST USE OF AIRTIME EVER:
Too many Jihoo and Jan Di moments. Ahhhh, I was never a fan of Rui X Makino in all versions. Rui was sweet but Tsukasa/Jun Pyo is too charming and adorable.
WORST MOMENT FOR MAMA KANG TO ARRIVE:
When Jan Di as a maid came to Jun Pyo's room to wake him up ... then both Jae Kyung then "dun dun dun" Mama Kang arrives. That gave me a total shock.
SIDE CHARACTER I COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT:
All the love triangles .... J/K all the side triangles were needed to make Jun Pyo and Jandi's luv get stronger ... but still some were too extended.
BEST SCENE THAT MADE ME CRY BUCKETS:
Actually started crying when Jun Pyo said Jandi was a stain he wanted to remove and then Jun Pyo's confrontation with his mom just had me bawling.
BEST ANGSTY MOMENT:
All of JunPyo's angsty moments when all he wanted was to hug Jandi, yet keeps hurting her.
BEST MAKEOVER:
I must be a rare person who thought Jan Di's first makeover, where Jun Pyo kidnapped her and gave her full treatments in his house, made her very beautiful. I loved the dress she was wearing and her hair style.
Ga Eul didn't need a makeover since she's already too pretty.
Didn't like Ji Hoo's hair on 2nd half.
BEST OUTFIT:
For the guys, I love Jun Pyo's outfits.
For the girls, I loved Jan Di's first makeover dress and all of Min Seo Hyun's dresses (well she is a model)
WORST OUTFIT:
The BIG MAC dress Jan Di wore on New Caledonia. What was up with all those colors and style. Funny and embarrassing to look at.
BEST JEALOUSY MOMENT:
When the little boy comes along with Jandi and Junpyo on their date to the zoo. -- Haha laughed so much on this part too. Dude, he's just a kid and you're getting jealous Jun Pyo!!!
CHARACTER THAT REALLY MADE MY TOES CURL IN HATRED:
Jun Pyo's potential girls ---- Hated Jae Kyung for her ignorance or plainly fooling herself of the obvious circumstance and wanted to beat up Yumi for supposedly helping Jun Pyo remember Jan Di but lying that she made the lunch box for him grrrrr.
BEST ORIGINAL SCENE FROM THE MANGA:
Jandi triggering Junpyo's memory by falling into the pool. -- I havent read the end of the manga so I wouldn't know if this scene was there but if it is then I choose this too.
BEST REMADE SCENE FROM THE MANGA:
All of Jun Pyo and Jan Di happy moments.
WORST REMADE SCENE FROM THE MANGA:
Ha Jae Kyung, his fiancee. She stayed on too long... =/ -- totally agree with this.
BEST JUNPYO/JANDI DATE:
The first one is always the best! =D
BEST JIHOO/JANDI DATE:
don't really care
BEST JUNPYO/JIHOO MOMENT:
When Jun Pyo told Ji Hoo he couldn't let Jan Di go then Ji Hoo punched some sense into him.
BEST YIJUNG/WOOBIN MOMENT:
Whenever they make fun of Jun Pyo's stupidity.
BEST USE OF A PROP:
Sagwa apple as an apology and the food/lunches Jandi made for Jun Pyo.
BEST SONG FROM THE SOUNDTRACK:
I prefer the slower/mellow songs:
One More Time - tree bicycles
What Should We Do - Jisun
Fight The Bad Feeling (Ballad Ver.) - T-MAX
CHEESIEST SCENE EVER:
There's too many? Haha. But most Yi Jung moments.. =) -- agree his lines were so cheesy
FOOD THAT GOT ME CRAVING:
Ah... The ramen Jae Kyung ate. Who wouldn't get hungry from watching that scene after finishing that big bowl
MOST DISAPPOINTING MOMENT:
The swing kiss was cut short.
MOMENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME BUT TOTALLY FIZZLED OUT:
Swing kiss and final kiss ... where was it?
MOST EXTRAVAGANT F4 MOMENT:
Trips, cars, love game ... what's not extravagant ?!
What are yours?
Edited the Thoughts part.
I recently went to Las Vegas this July and stayed in the Venetian Hotel. I noticed that the scenes in Macau looked exactly like the Venetian Hotel. Ho ho eehh it's so hot over there :toohot:
Here are some pics I took at Las Vegas ... do compare it with scenes from Macau.
It's the bridge scene where Jun Pyo dissed Jan Di!!
