Oooooh, big deal. Well, yes it is.
Recently, ABS-CBN has bought the rights to Korea's popular drama this year called "Boys Over Flowers" which is an adaptation of Yoko Kamio's "Hana Yori Dango" in Japan.
My first encounter with Yoko Kamio's famous work was when I was a DJ in M.O.R. Cotabato in 2002 to 2003. ABS-CBN then bought the rights to Taiwan's adaptation of HYD (Hana Yori Dango) called "Meteor Garden" and their TV ratings sky-rocketed! That was their first try on airing Asianovelas and quickly made a mark in Philippine TV History (for making the Filipino audience get hooked to another foreign dramas aside from mexican and Spanish dramas).
Back then, eventhough it was my job to be "involved" with all the F4 craze, I was already hooked before I could even say yes to dissolving myself in it. The attractive looks in the cast is just some extra bonus of loving this show. I was so much in love with the story.
Because of my addiction to "Meteor Garden" back then, I later found out that the series was just an adaptation from Yoko Kamio's HYD.
After the craze, I went back to my hometown and my life continued its course.
And now, when I heard of Korea's "Boys Over Flowers" as an adaptation to HYD too, I knew I had to watch this. Somehow, another revision of one of my favorite and beloved stories interests me.
I went on the prowl for cuts and episodes on YouTube. Sad to say, not many episodes were uploaded since they were put down due to copyright infringement.
But hey! YouTube's not the only online video streaming in the world! I head on to Veoh.com and I was more than happy to watch the series three times eventhough the site eats a lot of my bandwidth (which means cutting off any processes on-going just to preserve buff for Veoh's videos).
Yes, I'm done watching it. I've watched it three times. And I still plan on watching it. The plot keeps getting better and better every episode.
And because of my amazement to this story, I've decided to watch the HYD TV series from Japan. Sure it was oddly different from BOF and MG, but I don't mind at all. Each adaptation should be different and that's what makes it more interesting.
Right now, a rumor was spreading across Asia about China also doing an adaption of the series and it's gonna be called "Meteor Rain" or "Meteor Shower". I have yet to wait for this and watch their version as well.
Boys Over Flowers (花より男子 Hana Yori Dango) is a Japanese shōjo manga series by Yoko Kamio. It was serialized in the bi-weekly anthology magazine Margaret, which is aimed at high-school-age girls. The manga series ran continuously from October 1992 to September 2003, and was collected into 37 tankōbon volumes. In 1996, it received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo.
