We have already loved the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango - Boys Over Flowers.
We cannot avoid the fever again.. F4's really has something that leaves us breathless and makes us wanting them more and more...
Of course the 2 main characters are Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo... now with the way Lee Min Ho and Kim Hyun Joong portrayed these characters, who's acting and character has been more remarkable? Who has been more effective? Take your pick and defend your answer with a short explanation...
Lee Min Ho's Jun Pyo or Kim Hyun Joong's Ji Hoo?
Full Version: Lee Min Ho's Jun Pyo or Kim Hyun Joon's Ji Hoo?
First!
Well, firstly, that picture is frckn priceless xD
Now my two cents:
Acting wise, I think Lee Min Ho was most consistent through out the series & I quite enjoyed his performance overall but I didn't love it. Something about Goo Joon Pyo didn't quite connect... I guess Min Ho's acting was too... technical? It was like he went in there & thought, yep, this is exactly how I am going to play the part.
Hyun Joong started off a little rocky but by the end he totally had his character down pact. It felt like he let the character & all his experiences & emotions come to him. He WAS Ji Hoo sunbae <3
In terms of character, Ji Hoo wins. To be fair, the way the characters/script/story was written did largely benefit Hyun Joong's role more IMO. I don't think they made Jun Pyo more forthright enough, he never really seemed to fight particularly hard for what he truly wanted in his heart, it felt like he was just lucky that everything just kinda fell in place for him.
Now I'm running the risk of coming across as a complete Ji Hoo fangirl but WTH. He was most definitely the guardian angel that every girl grows up dreaming of having. Strong, loyal, passionate, selfless & above all, he was always there for his loved ones.
I want my own Ji Hoo sunbae!

Wow thanks Jicks, you're the first to post, and you have really a good explanation..
O well I have not explained in my original post my side..
I guess you were somehow correct when you said that Jun Pyo's character seemed to lack more effort to fight for his love.. and Ji Hoo's really the guardian angel that every girl needs whenever they need comfort and love...
.. but then again this is also the reason why I loved the character of Jun Pyo more. I guess they have made his character more mature. In real world, there are more elements to consider other than your own feelings. Jun Pyo is in the world where in it's like the world needs him, or to be exact, his family needs him.. remember the episode when F3 visited him in Macau and they met at the basketball court? Jun Pyo has these lines.." Imagine about 700,000 families depending on you now and see if you won't change..." (pardon my translation, it was not the exact words but it has the same meaning).. plus the fact the his mother is pressuring him because his father died which turned out to be a lie... and in the succeeding scenes you'll still see that above it all, Jun Pyo still can't deny his love for Jan Di but he just feels so helpless..... I guess in the real world this is what truly happens, and I would commend Lee Min Ho's acting because he was able to do it so evidently... almost transparent..
Without any doubts, definitely it's Kim Hyun Joong's Ji Hoo)
His play was bright and excellent. Moreover, Kim Hyun Joong is very handsome, mu4 more handsome than Lee Min Ho.
And his character attracts me more)) Through the BoF series, Ji Hoo is really remarkable, he's always by the side of Gum Jan Di, while Jun Pyo is just like secondary silly character, who prevents Ji Hoo's n' Jan Di's great love)
I'm just soooo in love with Kim Hyun Joong's Ji Hoo, that can't help anything, but to dream about him XDD

Lee Min Ho's Jun Pyo is THE BEST 
He is the main reason I continued watching BOF! Although after episodes 12, his character becoming lame but he still THE BEST

to me it's definitely jihoo sunbae's character. The script definitely works to the benefit of jihoo.
Go Jun Pyo's character is a bit tiring sometime. Yes, reality scenario was throw at him a few times but the script didn't create him a very strong and firm enough character to show that Jun Pyo is mature enough to deals with them emotionally and mentally. It only potrayed him as a guy strong outside but unfortunately too weak to stand up for his choice. And selfish too, by pushing off jandi to jihoo numerous times, when he knows it will hurt both of them. Yet unwilling to let go a number of times after the pushing off..
As for skill, it's a bit unfair to compare them right? After all, Lee Min-ho has a number of movies/drama under his belt, wherelse, this is the 1st drama (full fledge) for HyunJoong.
However, adios to HyunJoong, coz I think he did managed to pull it off successfully albiet the "rocky" start..
MinHo well, he is just playing his role as Go Jun Pyo

Hmm...Jihoo (HyunJoong) should definitly be the most inspiring since he's the kind hearted guy & a lot of people should learn from the character. But I think Junpyo (Minho) has been more affected since he is the male lead 
. Nevertheless, both the actors and the characters they portray are great!

i honestly have never like the character Domyoji Tsukasa since he is really mean and loves bullying other people on the other hand i have always loved the character Hanazawa Rui since he is really caring and nice towards others but for the korean BoF version its the other way around i loved Jun Pyo and kinda disliked Ji Hoo.
It's HyunJoong,
when I first watch BOF, I told myself,
I won't fall in love with any character in there, and I started watching it on youtube.
DANG, HyunJoong was soooooo irresistable.
Actually, being a big big big fan of SS501, i would choose HyunJoong no matter what.
Putting biasness aside, LeeMinHo acts well, but to me, he has not enough emotions.
I think, to me, HyunJoong on the other hand is able to express himself well enough,
so yes, thanks to him, I'm in love with this show.
Just my two cents (:

LEE MIN HO as GU JUN PYO...JUNPYO all the way!!! i've always loved doumyuji's character and of i looooove LEE MIN HO!!! he's sooo hot!

If I'd have to choose the character, I'd choose Ji Hoo. I like the way Hyun Joong 's Character act here. I love how he's observant, really caring and really give his best for his friend. He even gave up on Jan Di for Jun Pyo. He's always there when everybody need him. when Jan Di need him, he will always help with all he can. :] He's never mean to any of his friends. too! I def. love this character really much.
As for Jun Pyo, I dun really like his personality at first, honestly. Although I'm more of a fan of Min Ho in real life, But I dun like Jun Pyo, sometimes. His anger sometimes are too much. He don't even want to say sorry to his gf? ckck>< but OMG! In the other side, he's really nice to his girlfriend too, soo caring to his gf. Even give his clothes to Jandi in a really cold snowy night >.<.
and strive his best to protect Jan Di
actually,I really can't choose. But overall, I will choose Hyun Joong's Ji Hoo.
but I love Min Ho more thoo
hehehe.

I love Ji Hoo! But Gu JUn Pyo also portrayed his role very well! But JI Hoo is my man!
Lee Min Ho / Gu Jun Pyo for me !
i loved him the first time i saw him. hahaha.
Jun Pyo is the kind of guy that would do everything just to save the girl he loves.
i kinda don't like Ji Hoo with his long dyed hair at the first parts of BOF.
but when they returned from Guam (is that Guam? haha) and he cut his hair short,
i think my impression changed. hahah! and the way he takes care of Jan Di, he's like a
knight in shining armor. but oh well, Jun Pyo is the prince.

KHJ's jihoo!
This has nothing to do with which actor is better. I personally think LMH is the best Tsukasa out of the three versions, while KHJ wasn't memorable until the 2nd part of the show.
Anyways...it has to do with GJD. In the beginning, Goo Hye Sun didn't have chemistry with neither of them. GHS and LMH scenes were mostly comedic and LMH shines brilliantly. However, GHS acted like she was his teacher when she's yelling at him. Similary, GHS didn't look good with KHJ either. He was too androgynous in the beginning with that long orange hair and colorful wardrobe (purple velvet shirt oh c'mon).
It wasn't until the second season when KHJ got a new style that I actually begin to see him as JD's sunbae. He acted older and wiser than her. Conversely, she was warm, feminine, kind towards Jihoo. GHS is an amazing dramatic actress, just not very good with comedy. I like her a lot more when she's heartbreaking in the presence of Jihoo.
Therefore, in this version, I like Jihoo/Rui a lot better and by looking at a lot of the polls, KHJ really captured a lot of people's heart. For me, liking Jihoo has nothing to do with how the script was written for LMH or KHJ. It's mostly due to the fact that I enjoyed GHS's performance more when she's with Jihoo than with Jun Pyo. (And I am a TsukasaxMakino shipper since the manga.)
p.s. Jun Pyo with finance had amazing chemistry.

For me, definitely Kim Hyun Joong's Ji Hoo
I am still down for him
Especially after I saw the after story of F4, I feel so sad for him
He devoted all his love to the girl but he doesn't require anything in return
He just love her so much... and want to protect her from any harm
For Jun Pyo, even though I think his acting is good also, his character is not as strong as Ji Hoo.
BTW, I love HJ so much I may mis-judged. I will say.

HyunJoong for me too...LOL
His character in BOF is an advantage to Lee Min Ho's character.

Kim Hyun Joong!
he's the BEST!
pls. vote for him as best actor!

I would vote for King Hyun Joong no doubt about it
n i guess many girls would too?hehe
Jihoo is like the epitome of the perfect man.the prince charming of every girl
heard hj became very popular after the drama
his character in the drama is so endearing-lovely,charming,sweet
too bad the manga storyline does not allow him to end up with the girl
blah they should have another ending/drama starring hj n hs
I think in this korean version of MG, jihoo/rui had more fight in him to love the girl than in previous versions? that's why everyone's like pinning for him n jandi-it's like unrequited love when he loves her so much
and he's like a knight in shiny armor,always there for her n all

For me Kim Hyun Joong's character was better acted.
I have seen all 3 versions of Hana Yori Dango (Meteor Garden, Hana Yori Dango and Boys Over Flowers), Hana Yori Dango and Boys Over Flowers are much more similar and easier to compare. Having seen them both I am now able to pick my favorites between characters and actors.
In both dramas, the character of Ji Hoo has always drawn me in and made me squeal, yet I liked Jun Pyo's character aswell. Having said that I really prefered Doumyoji over Jun Pyo, which probably has to do with the acting more so then the character. I like Doumyoji over Hanazawa in Hana Yori Dango, but in Boys Over Flowers I would have to pick Ji Hoo.

Jun Pyo is very good looking and is excellent with his role. 
i think both of them share the same votes... cos i got 2 gang of friends whom each gang liked one of them...
me too... 1 moment i liked Lee Min Ho's Jun Pyo, another instant, i like Kim Hyun Joon's Ji Hoo...
so difficult to choose...

For Me, If i have to choose between Kim Hyun Joon or Lee Minho?
I prefer Lee Minho.. I think he is more charismatic that Kim Hyun Joon.
But it is in singing and dancing.. it would be Kim Hyun Joon.. of course.
But still i would love LEE MINHO. :>

I love Lee Min Ho. He was soo cutee!
i think he played his character really well. He loved Jan Di so much that my heard ached whenever i saw him getting hurt, even though i knew that it was just acting.
Lee Min Ho's character was just adorable. to have someone love me the way his character loved jan di is like.. wow..
