The press conference for the highly anticipated drama “Boys Over Flowers” was held on Dec. 22, 1008. A seven-minute trailer was shown during the conference, which somepne was able to record and post online.

Goo Hyesun plays Geum Jandi. “I feel like I’ve become a beginner actor again.”
Goo Hyesun’s dress was strange when I first saw it, but in the midst of creating this post, my eyes have somehow gotten used to it. I’m not too familiar with her acting save for the few ‘Nonstop 5′ episodes, and although I didn’t like hearing that she was to play Makino, I have some confidence in her after watching the seven-minute long preview. Hopefully she’ll prove me right.

Lee Minho plays Goo Jinpyo. “I feel like I won the lottery by getting the role of Goo Jinpyo.”
I liked Lee Minho’s look in “Mackerel Run,” which is where I first saw him. Comparing his image then to his image for this role… Doesn’t he have somewhat of an uncanny resemblance to Kim Myungmin in “Beethoven Virus” with this image? I suppose it fits the role of Domyoji, but still eh for me. (Maybe it’s ’cause I never really liked Domyoji anyway..)

Kim Hyunjoong plays Yoon Jihoo. “The kiss scene with Goo Hyesun and the embrace with Han Chaeyoung are the most memorable scenes.”
Kim Hyunjoong is perfect image-wise to play Rui. “Boys Over Flowers” is his acting debut, and I’m hoping he will do the character of Rui well, since so far, whenever I see Kim Hyunjoong as Rui, I don’t see Rui – or rather Yoon Jihoo. I see Kim Hyunjoong, Hwang-buin’s 4D kid groom, from “We Got Married”..

Anyway, supposedly there were 10 NG’s for his kiss scene with Goo Hyesun. He says he was very nervous for that scene and for another of him embracing Han Chaeyoung. Also, Kim Hyunjoong said he read over the script over a hundred times before filming.

Kim Bum plays So Yijung.
Kim Bum has never appealed to me more than now, though Playboy!Bum does make me laugh.

Kim Joon plays Song Woobin.
A newcomer. I like him so far… image-wise. His acting, I hope, brings him more into the spotlight soon.

View the fancam trailer below. It’s shot at an angle, but still HQ nonetheless. I hope there are more scenes of them as students in the actual drama.

I was neutral about the drama, but now I’m interested. Let’s hope it’s good.
