i remember how "You're Beautiful" led to everyone comparing Kang Shinwoo to Joon Jihoo ("Boys Before(/Over) Flowers") and I was just like "uhmm...sure. i haven't watched BBF..."

but seriously, other than being the 2nd lead, there's not that much in common....but hey. that's just me.

Let's try to list things: (by the way, i'm not finished with BOF/BBF whatever...)

Similarities:

HOT <3 haha sorry i had to say that....

They're both really sweet to the girl and care a lot about her (ties in with the 2nd lead thing?)

They're both obviously popular--Shinwoo the idol, Jihoo F4

Differences:

Jihoo let Jandi know that he likes her but backs off because she likes Junpyo. Shinwoo, on the other hand, doesn't directly let Minam/Minyeo know that he likes her 'til the end. (REALLY big point!!!)

Jandi never hid things from Jihoo yet Minam kept her gender a secret (meaning they could never be all that open)

Even though there are less points under differences, I still have to say Shinwoo≠Jihoo...but you know what? that's just me...

But hey, no one objects to staring at either one, right? good. (:

haha i love both hyunjoong and yonghwa (:
