I particularly love the song &#8220;U R Man&#8221;.\u00a0 It&#8217;s really catchy, and it grows on you after a while.<\/p>\n<p>Also, one song that you can&#8217;t miss was the ending song (EP) for Boys Over Flowers &#8211; Because I&#8217;m Stupid by SS501 (the three members team).\u00a0 It was (I&#8217;m assuming) kinda like Ji Hoo&#8217;s (the character that Kim Hyun Joong played) theme song.\u00a0 There are three versions of this song &#8211; the original song (that carries a light beat), the instrumental slow ballad version (that you can see\/hear Kim Hyun Joong play on the violin or on the guitar in the drama), as well as the accoustic version (slow ballad version with Kim Hyun Joong singing).\u00a0 This is, by far, my favourite song from Boys Over Flowers OST.\u00a0 Simply because the lyrics just fit his character Yoon Ji Hoo so much.\u00a0 *Sigh*&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll fawn over his character in the drama some other time.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s just leave you with these two songs for now!<\/p>\n<p>SS501 &#8211; U R Man (MV)<br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/N7NxLI-B_Mg&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p>SS501 &#8211; Because I&#8217;m Stupid (MP3 Only)<br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/4kCKB0NS98A&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p>*EDIT*<br \/>\nAhhh!!!!  Found this cut version of Episode 15~16 where the drama played Kim Hyun Joong&#8217;s solo ballad version of &#8220;I&#8217;m Stupid&#8221;!  It may be kinda like a spoiler for you if you haven&#8217;t watch the drama, but I think Ji Hoo\/Kim Hyun Joong&#8217;s fan would love this.  I just can&#8217;t help but teared a little bit whenever I read the translation of the lyrics of this song.
