LOL at the spelling but you gotta love these guys!

Korean F4 fans, start saving up because another merchandise is on the horizon..a photo book!

I was browsing some stuff a while ago and I came across iBreatheLifeMusic‘s newest video post about a photo book featuring the adorable F4.

The video was taken from Kenterkey.com, a Japanese site so I assume the photo book will be released in Japan for those lucky, lucky Japanese.

See video after the jump.

As promised, we bring you the latest about the ratings of Boys Over Flowers.

BOF has been doing good in the ratings game since the timeslot switch with Pinoy Bingo Night. The Korean phenomenon has toppled the lead of the game show Hole in the Wall, which has been unbeatable prior to the timeslot change.

Here are the numbers for May 28, 2009 (Thursday):

We’ve noticed that some of our readers here are looking for information about the theme song of Boys Over Flowers. So let’s indulge ourselves and talk about the music behind the drama.

The drama has two original soundtracks. During its run in Korea, BOF was heavily criticized for its repeated use of the songs in the first soundtrack, particularly the uber cheesy yet addicting song “Paradise” by Kim Joon’s group T-Max. This is probably why they released another soundtrack after the Macau episodes.

Aya’s mother, Shioka, is concerned with her daughter’s recent actions so she talks to her that night and convinces her to go to the hospital to see what’s wrong. Aya complies to dispel the worry of her mom and continues looking for a song for the choral competition.

I have been hearing about One Liter of Tears ever since I’ve started the habit of watching Japanese dramas. Before, it was all Korean dramas for me but then again, my ever shortening attention span and my interest to see the Japanese version of Meteor Garden otherwise known as Hana Yori Dango pulled me into watching Japanese dramas.

I’ve put off watching this because I know it’s going to be sad, sadder than Stairway to Heaven for that matter but curiosity got the better of me and I started watching this in advance when GMA7 started promoting this drama.

It started airing tonight and I must say, I was surprised at the accuracy of the translation of the dialogues. I am also quite happy that they maintained their Japanese names although I don’t like the voice of some of the characters. Ako, who is Aya’s younger sister, had a mouse-like sounding voice when the actress in real life had well, a more rounder one. But looking beyond the flaws, I’m quite happy with tonight’s episode and I hope it continues until the end. (I noticed though that there are a lot of commercials for a drama that is airing for the first time.)

So what happened tonight?
