Gorgeous people, Cinderella like storyline, what’s not to love?

Two episodes a week: you think that I would be satisfied. But I just can’t get enough!
The Korean version of Hana Yori Dango started airing at the beginning of January 2009 on Mondays and Tuesdays on KBS2. As I’m writing this, six episodes have been released. Of course, I’ve seen all six of them [...]
