Boys Before Flowers: American Version (re-imagined)

Description

As I waited in the lobby of that needlessly luxurious hotel, I found myself tuning out the people around me and tring to calm down.  It’s not like I hadn’t been to an audition before. This was different though, and no matter how much I tried to convince myself that it was just another audition, my mind knew better. It was a Shinhwa Academy audition after all. It’s the school that everyone wanted to go to. A school only for the rich and famous. So how do we mere mortals enter that school? Wouldn’t it be impossible? Well one day out of the whole year, about three weeks before classes start, there is an audition. They take in four new students, one person for each grade in high school. Among the thousands that applied, I was selected to be in the top three hundred to compete for one of those spots. All I want is to go to that academy, take their dancing courses and have the posibility to become a professional. No distractions. No romance. No drama. But sometimes life doesn't go as planned, and I was thrown in for a loop.

Foreword

A while ago, I watched the "Boys Before Friends" episodes and like everyone else, I was a little let down. Not so much with the storyline, because I knew that it would have to change based on the differences in each culture, and it didn't have to do with the casting, I actually liked the first lead actress. My issue was with the sound quality .-. but while I was watching I was inspired to write a small exerpt for the drama based on where I thought the story line would go. As of yet, the BoF episodes have come to a stand still, so I decided to write the story from the culture I grew up in. Now I know I wrote "American" in the title but in truth I'm from a small town in Canada .-. but you guys get the idea right? Quite simply it's set in a culture that's not Korean. So I'm going to try and have fun with this, watching each episode over and over again, imagining it in a different way ^^

Now here's the bad news.

I'm not going to update regularly. I would LIKE to promise you that I'll update every week, but in reality I have a job that takes up almost all of my time. I spend my down time with my family and friends. In my free time I like watching dramas and variety shows with my favorite idols. This first chapter I'm putting up took me over a month to finish. To put it bluntly, writing is a hobby of mine. I neither do it for the possibility of fame, nor do I do it to impress people. I simply do it because I love it. I don't want for this to feel like a job in anyway. I don't want to sit in front of my computer screen, grudingly typing away because I made a promise that I couldn't keep. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. I will promise to update as often as I can though, and I promise to see this story to it's end. The only thing I ask of you is your patience and honesty. Is a chapter not quite up to par? Let me know, I'll take the criticism humbly. Thanks for taking the time to read this. The first "episode" should be up soon. Stay frosty my friends.
