HYD vs. BBf >>> Fashion (Guys)

  

 

hana yori dango F4 fashion vs. boys before flowers F4 fashion

Hey guys!!! So, like i said, now i’ll be reviewing the Fashion amongst the guys. Sorry it’s taken so long for a new post! this article has taken me surprisingly long. First off, i want to thank you guys for reading my blog :] Next, I want to clarify something for this article: i know that the F4 aren’t the only guys in these dramas, but seeing as reviewing 8 people is already a lot, i don’t really want to compare anymore characters 😀 Anyways, without further ado, let’s start.

akira's fashion vs. woo bin's fashion

Alright, so the character of Mimasaka Akira/Song Woo Bin is hard to judge because of the limited time each character has on screen (but we have to use what’s given to us…lol). This character, as we know, is into the underground world of gangs, so naturally, his character is kind of mysterious and somewhat…sketchy XD. But from both the Japanese and Korean versions, each character wears a lot of leather (especially woo bin, lots of leather gloves…). In the Japanese version, i felt Akira’s fashion sense was either really busy with a lot of prints, or really boring. I don’t remember a time where i was like “wow, i like those shoes!” or “woa! that shirt looks nice”. with akira, it was always like…that looks just okay… and woo bin’s fashion sense was okay, but i remember sometimes he’d have a completely ridiulous outfit and it’s totally shock me (one time he had a purple suit…)

soujiro's fashion vs. yi jung's fashion

 So being the playboy of the show, you expect the Soujiro/Yi Jung character to have some sense of style. I must say, in BBF, i really like yi jung’s fashion sense. I’m all over the vest-trend and the scarf trends as well. and he has some really nice suits. Soujiro does this whole turtle neck thing that might have been the thing back in 2005, but i find it pretty disgusting right now.

rui's fashion vs. ji hoo's fashion

Alright, so now these choices are coming a bit harder XD lol. So personally, i’m a big fan of white, black and grey. And obviously, so is the Rui/Ji hoo character! overall, i liked both sense of styles. they both rock the scarves quite nicely and i loooove (most of..) the jackets they wear! here’s a look at some of their fashion styles…

hanazawa rui's casual fashion

I think all 3 pictures on the right are some of my favorite hanazawa rui looks. i realllly like it when he has a hood up, i think he looks so casual-cool. Like i said, he wears the scarf well and the cardigan/hoodie look is something i’m in love with. However, i’m not so sure about the jacket on the left… i’m not so into the full length jacket thing and with the fur, i think it just looks a little too bulky and somewhat intimidating cuz shun is so tall. lol.

yoon ji hoo's fashion

I love all of these jihoo looks. The one on the left are his “pajamas” (pretty dressed up to go to bed, eh?). but i absolutely loooove the navy blue cardigan and those grey sweats. perfect. and then the top right…like i said he rocks the scarves well and the kinda military jacket thing is very nice and the necklace he’s wearing (the one with the ring he wanted to give jandi) looks very good with this outfit too. And then the bottom right, again, love the military jacket.

rui in suit vs. jihoo in suit

And there’s just too many pictures already of rui/jihoo so there’s only one picture of them in suits XD haha sorry if that dissapoints anyone. But point is, they look quite handsome in suits as well. I think jihoo looks so innocent in a cute little bow tie :] and i’m not sure about the velvety suit on rui (must be hot!) and he had a scarf under this suit that’s not shown in this picture and the frayed edges were kind of peeking out of the suit…that looked awkward at times, but over all, they know how to dress :]

domyouji's fashion vs. jun pyo's fashion

 Alright, so this is where it gets difficult. since the domyouji/jun pyo character has sooo much screen time, it’s hard for me to capture all of the good and bad moments in their fashion sense, so i’m just going to do the best i can 😀 lol sorry if i miss anything… So with these “beanie” outfits on top. I really like domyouji’s jacket…i like the whole pin stripe thing and purple hoodie, i think they match eachother nicely. and i like the beanie, but i’m not sure about the one piece or hair sticking out… and i’m not too crazy for the necklace either… for junpyo it’s really plain and simple, which is kinda surprising for him and i like it plain and simple. cept lee min ho doesn’t quite look the greatest in beanies XD lol.

domyouji's fashion

So i don’t know what it is about matsumoto jun, but i think he looks really good in purple. I love the cardigan on the far left and i think the picture in the bottom right is my favorite outfit by domyouji tsukasa. In HYD2, i noticed that domyouji likes to put a scarf underneath his coat and i really like this trend also (this is also seen in the middle and upper right pictures). I think it looks really good on jun and it definitely works. Also on the bottom right, i like the little pin he has on his suit. Not sure if you can see it, but it’s a little flower pin and i think it just kinda completes the outfit :] I like his jacket in the middle picture and i don’t know why, but i’ve noticed asian guys can pull of white pants pretty well.

jun pyo's fashion

I must admit, i had to do a little digging before finding some of these jun pyo pictures because a lot of jun pyo’s fashion sense is a plain black and white suit. and he wears black coats a lot (i wonder if they did that on purpose so jihoo wears a lot of white and junpyo wears a lot of black…hmmm…) So the picture on the far left…i’m not so sure about those weird looking boots…but i think the maroon scarf/muffler and coat looks good. I chose the top picture because i liked those sunglassess with this outfit, but it’s kinda hard to see from the neck down…sorry! (it’s the outfit he wore in ep 23 on their beach date). But yeah i really like the black/white muffler thing he’s wearing and he has a nice simple white sweater and the sunglasses are nice too. The bottom left picture is his kind of casual, around-the-house look. Lee min ho looks very nice in cardigans, i must say and the color matches him too. And the bottom right is just an example of his simple black and white look :]

Something i must share…

domyouji's fur jacket vs. jun pyo's fur jacket

i really HATE their fur jackets. I don’t mean to sound spiteful or anything, but these jackets are really terrible. Domyouji’s looks like he just killed a racoon at the zoo and decided to wrap it around his neck and jun pyo’s makes him look like a lion with a grey mane. Not only that, but domyouji decides to wear it with a scandelously low shirt…yeah, these outfits made me seriously make a disgusted face and go “ewww….”

OKAY, so that was quite a bit to take in…so who’s the winner??? this was a tough one, but….

boys before flowers f4's fashion wins!

i think the Boys before flowers F4’s fashion wins! This was, so far, probably the most difficult decision, but i know there’s lots more to come! (btw, i really like jihoo’s jacket in this picture :]) The hyd fashion might have been at a slight disadvantage, seeing as it was made from 2005-2007 where the fashion sense was different than in 2009, but i honestly don’t think it made that big of a difference. 

so that concludes the HYD vs. BBF >>> Fashion (Guys) …(finally!!!) sorry it took so long to publish, again! it took me forever to get screen caps and search through episodes to find the right pictures i was looking for. Thanks for reading! this means that the current standing in the HYD vs. BBF battle is 2 to 2. Hmm…my next post will probably be a comparison between characters…perhaps Yumi vs. Yuki…? (the girl that claimed to be domyouji/junpyo’s girlfriend after he lost his memory). regardless, you should stay tuned! i hope to update this everyday (this entry was hopefully the only exception…except for maybe the really difficult ones like domyouji vs. jun pyo and rui vs. ji hoo…)

Thanks again for reading, and as always please leave your comments and opinions 😀

peace, hydandbbfanalyst ❤
