OMG, I have fall in Love with my Teacher – Flower Boy Ramen Shop

I have finished watching a Korean TV drama lately. It is a romantic comedy drama with “pretty boys,” who, with good looks and individuality, operate a ramen shop with lively college girls and experience the happenings of daily life.

The title of this TV drama is called “Flower Boy Ramen Shop”. The lead actor is Jung Il-woo (49 Days) and the lead actor is Lee Chung-ah. The other actors are Lee Ki-woo, Park Min-woo, Jo Yoon-woo, and many more. Some of them are look good! :P

The story of “Flower Boy Ramen Shop” is Yang Eun Bi, who is a college student preparing for her civil service exam with the dream of being a high school teacher. She accidentally encounters Cha Chi Soo, the arrogant son of the biggest food conglomerate in Korea. Both of them end up working at a ramyun shop run by the lazy Choi Kang Hyuk.

Title        : Flower Boy Ramen Shop

Genre     : Romance, comedy, drama

Episodes: 16

Story       :

Yang Eun-bi is a university student preparing for her civil service exam with the dream of being a high school teacher. She accidentally encounters Cha Chi-soo, the arrogant son of the biggest food conglomerate in Korea. Cha Chi-soo fascinates women with his good looks and charm. Eun-bi is attracted to him before she finds out that he is only a high school student and thus several years younger than her. However, her student-teaching assignment finds her not only working at the high school that Cha's family owns, but teaching his homeroom class. She grows to dislike him for his arrogance and lack of empathy. He, on the other hand, becomes fascinated with her because she is tough and athletic, unlike the other women he knows.

After Eun-bi's father passes away, she is surprised to find that he left the ramen restaurant he owned to Choi Kang-hyuk, who he had helped when Kang-hyuk was a troubled youth, instead of to her. It is soon revealed that Eun-bi's father did this with the hope that Kang-hyuk and Eun-bi would become involved. Eun-bi, after losing her student-teaching assignment because of her conflicts with Chi-soo, starts to work at the ramen shop, along with homeless high school students Kim Ba-wool and Woo Hyun-woo. Chi-soo wants to work at the restaurant as well, in order to get close to Eun-bi. Kang-hyuk, who knows that he and Chi-soo actually have the same mother, allows him to join the shop out of concern for his cold half-brother.

Kang-hyuk quickly develops feelings for Eun-bi, but she finds herself more attracted to the Chi-soo. However, Chi-soo's father does not approve of the relationship. Chi-soo's (and Kang-hyuk's) mother had also been an average (not rich) woman, and Chi-soo's father believes that difference was one of the causes of their separating several years before. Chi-soo's father's company is planning to redevelop the area in which the ramen shop is located, and Chi-soo's father tries to use the possible destruction of the ramen shop as leverage to keep Eun-bi and Chi-soo apart. Chi-soo has become attached to the ramen shop and is also afraid of being disowned, and so he initially chooses to stay with his father. Eun-bi realizes, however, that she wants to try seriously dating him; she comes to his family's apartment to claim him from his father, and they leave together. The ramen shop is forced to close, but its workers accept this development without complaint. The show ends with Chi-soo visiting Eun-bi after he has started his compulsory service in the South Korean Army; they are very happy to see each other.

Cast   :

Lee Chung-ah as Yang Eun-bi

Jung Il-woo as Cha Chi-soo

 

Lee Ki-woo as Choi Kang-hyuk

Park Min-woo as Kim Ba-wool

Jo Yoon-woo as Woo Hyun-woo

Kim Ye-won as Kang Dong-joo

Ho Soo as Yoon So-yi

Joo Hyun as Cha Ok-gyun

I like the actors Jung Il-woo, Lee Ki-woo and Jo Yoon-woo in this TV drama. The reason is all of them are very cute and funny. E.g. Jung Il-woo always winks to the girls to attract their attention. Lee Ki-woo is a very tall guy and he looks funny. As for Jo Yoon-woo, he looks like a very good boy and a very kind person. He helps Cha Chi-soo (Jung Il-woo) to solve his problems in the drama. All of them have their characters respectively and make the drama very hilarious.

Ok, let us take some sneak peek of “Flower Boy Ramen Shop”.

Personally I was enjoying this TV drama very much. The reason is the story is interesting and all the actors are look good too. FYI, the lead actor, Jung Il-woo is coming to Malaysia on 23/9/2012 as the ambassador of a Korean cosmetic product promotion.

Well, if you would like to catch this yummy romantic TV series, please click into “Flower Boy Ramen Shop” to join the party.

Enjoy watching!!! ^.^

Well, I like this manga series very much due to the art is very beautiful and the story is nice and special too as it is very interesting, adventure and sometimes very funny. It is the first time that I read the manga series that the lead male character is the leader of mafia and falls in love with an innocent sweet girl. I think it is romantic! :P The only thing that I do not like for this series is the ending. I wish this manga series would adapt into animation series. I think it would be a nice animation though!

To remind you again, this manga series has some adult contains. :P The guy in this story, Hakuron is really very SEXY!!! J Kurumi is having nice figure I think! Haha! :P
