Kim So Eun expressed in a recent interview that she hopes that there will be a happy ending in KBS Boys Before Flowers for her and Kim Bum.
Kim So Eun expressed that she knows that Gal Eul (Kim So Eun) and Yi Jung (Kim Bum) doesn’t have a love relationship in the original manga at all but remained optimistic. She said, “I have a small wish. And that is wishing that my character and Yi Jung can have a happy ending in Boys Before Flowers.” She shyly added, “There seems to be a happier ending in the Korean version.”
Kim So Eun was also very grateful to Goo Hye Sun for taking really good care of her. Although Kim So Eun (19) and Goo Hye Sun (24) have a age difference of 5 years, they have become best of friends off and on set and So Eun would ask the experienced Hye Sun for tips whenever she encounter difficulties.
So Eun said, “Really have to thank Goo Hye sun unnie for taking really good care of me. Goo Hye Sun unnie is different from the other casts. She is outgoing, straightforward and gets along very well with everyone on the filming set. She is someone whom you can get along with easily and feel comfortable.”
So Eun concluded, “Goo Hye Sun unnie really treated everyone very well. During our overseas filming in New Caledonia, the food being served wasn’t really good and suitable and we suffered a lot. But unnie prepared additional food for us and took care of us in a very friendly manner. Really thankful to her.”
Fans of Kim So Eun will have one less chance to see her on screen as her role of the young Chun Chu in KBS Empress Chun Chu has ended in Episode 8 shown on 25th January, with Chae Si Ra taking over as the adult Chun Chu.

KBS2TV Boys Before Flowers has finally knocked MBC East of Eden off the top of the Mon-Tue timeslot after just 4 weeks and fulfilling its potential.
According to TNS Media Korea, although ratings for shows took a severe hit due to the Korean New Year, Boys Before Flowers (19.5%) still edged out East of Eden (17.5%) by an impressive margin of 2 percentage points. The 1.7 percentage point lead enjoyed by East of Eden last Tuesday was wiped out in a flash and it must have been a big blow to MBC as they lost their 19 consecutive weeks of being top dog. Not an auspicious start in the new year.
There are reasons why Boys Before Flowers finally became number 1 yesterday. The good vibes and huge publicity generated by the drama has caught on and people started flocking to see what the whole hype was about. Almost everyday, there will be a headline news revolving around someone in the drama. Secondly, it was the first day of the Korean New Year. Would you rather see pretty faces and happy scenes in Boys Before Flowers or brooding, feuding scenes in East of Eden? The answer is pretty clear for all.
The appearance of heavyweight actress Kim Hyun Joo in Episode 7 yesterday as Goo Joon Hee, elder sister of Goo Joon Pyo might be another factor. The charismatic elder sister of Goo Joon Pyo certainly added more glamor.
