Don't mind the bad reviews give this a chance
This is not half as bad as most of make it out to be. Ofc there were some things that were unrealistic and things I didn't like, such as jihu never getting over jandi till the end even after having been rejected tons of times by her, the fact that the show focused a lot on jihu and jandi's relationship taking the focus out of the main couple at times. I feel there could have been more jandi and junpyo scenes although the ones there were, were good and they made up for it.The love between the main couple is endearing, pure and unconditional and it will make you fall in love with their love.
The osts were good and I listen to them outside of the drama.
Overall this is a good, iconic, must watch show and I 100% rec it. It was entertaining until the end and that's what matters the most. I felt like it was worth my time.

It's a great show! I 100% recommend it!!
I THINK THIS IS AN AMAZING SHOW I LOVE IT SM...except the story could've been more original. It was too predictable. But it was a cute, funny, sometimes sad show. The story line was pretty difficult to understand at first but it's great, and they have good actors/actresses. And more importantly they have LEE MINHO!!!!!! But yeah, if you're a Kdrama newbie I definitely recommend this as ur first one!! ?? BUT LIKE- LEE MINHO Y'ALL! GO WATCH IT FOR LEE MINHO ? HE SO AMAZING I LOVE HIS ACTING SMMMMMMMWas this review helpful to you?

If you’ve never heard of “Boys over Flowers” before... you’re obviously a newbie because if you are a true die-hard Asian Drama fan, Boys over Flowers is a CLASSIC. Put it this way, it’s like the “BIG BANG/SNSD” of the Korean Drama world;)Let’s Start. I actually found out about boys over Flowers due to my aunt who was watching it on her laptop and so I decided to join her in watching it ever since the first episode. Boys over flower is probably one of the most unique Koreans dramas I’ve ever watched, it has a newly type of plot that No one ever did before, and that’s great, since nowadays most drama plots are predictable and boring. But the plot was also extra confusing, the scene I hated the most was when *SCENE SPOILER ALERT* the school ganged up on the main character and threw eggs at her *sighs* and on top of that after they threw eggs at her I thunk they also put flower on top of her head, those scenes were so unessary.
And the F4 thing was hella funny AF, but I loved how this drama had so much plot twists and turning points of the story. I especially liked how they kept making the main character choose between two guys and making a complicated Love triangle.
What’s Negative?: Honestly the F4 was stupid but it was also what made the Drama poppin. I hated how the F4 was made up of Spoiled rich handsome arrogant guys that liked to play with girls hearts. I also hated the “School involvement thing” that was unessary, the whole school didn’t have to be involved for the story to stay entertaining it actually made the story more boring and sad.
Positive Outlooks: I think style of the story was really smooth, I liked how the writer created tension between Joon Pyo and Ji pyo and made them Love Rivals, I loved how the story showed flashbacks of How the F4 was made and why each of the guys are what they are now, the story also show the weaknesses of each character and using that weakness to create a better storyline
Side Couples: Is it just me or do the side characters in this drama are acually more interesting than the actual main characters, I love the relationship with Ga Eul and Yi Jung >~<. The whole time I was only fixed in the relationship between these two it was soooo cute <3 I lived how these two ended it was such a great ending.
Overall: 9.5/10 a great and classical drama. You should watch this first if you are a newbie:)

Jandi's life is never boring
This is a classic of dramas, it is clear how many mistakes are made during the plot, this story has everything, rich boys who can rule all of Korea, a crazy mother who wants to marry her son who is only 17 years old, a girl who is abandoned by her parents, but I can't deny how much this drama has affected me, it's so nostalgic remembering the good times I spent watching Jandi's story. And one thing is for sure, this drama had one of the best ost of all time, even after years I can remember all the songs and the feelings conveyed by them.Was this review helpful to you?
I had to…
Because it’s LMH a d because everybody’s talking about it. I saw the Chinese version before “meteor garden” and wanted to see the original.But I was sadly disappointed. The drama is old, full of cliches and badly produced. You can even see the crew sometimes when reflected in glasses or mirrors. I know it was one of the first dramas for “our” Lee Min Ho but this hairdo!! So tacky … and the second lead syndrome is the worst ever! He’s following Jan Di like a sad puppy without even taking any action. Sooooo frustrating.
I’ve got to give something positive though: it is a reference in kdrama because of the story, those famous cliches and the tension between the characters. It’s a good base for a kdrama beginner but I’ve been watching drama for quite a while now and I found this one too much…
Watch it for reference.

I was in love with Goo joon pyo's role. At first he was cold hearted but when he met jandi he became someone new. I loved his playing pranks on jandi and laughing like a child. I always supported him to get jandi in starting, some moments were heartbreaking, so I cried a lot. He give his full for his role.
The lead actress role was adorable. I loved the way jandi fight for everythingand never lose hope. She was always active so after watching her I also wanted to be active like her.
Jihoo's role was of a godfather, always comes to help jandi. I sometimes wanted that he should get someone good for him too. I really liked him and sometimes become sad for him too.
As a whole you will enjoy watching this.

a pure waste of time
okay, so i watched this quite some time ago and i even finished it, even tho it was pretty bad. I did notreally like the female lead, she was just not a sympathic person! The same goes for the male lead. I know that Lee Min Ho is a pretty popular actor, but just don't like him. Especially not in this show bc the charcter he portrays is just a total jerk with barly any charcter development.I really liked the second male lead, cuz he was just very very nice, but of course she did not end up with him, what was predictibale, but it still pissed me off, cuz i just hated the main lead....
The side couple was quite cute tho, so that's maybe one of the few good points of the drama.
I started watching the Chinese adaptation called Meteor Garden and so far i like it WAYYY more than Boys over Flowers. I also herad that the Japanese version is quite nice. Better go watch one of these versions.
So I really do not recommend watching the Korean version. Rewatch value is definitly 0 for me.

This Great Drama Just Gets A Bad Rap.
ML Gu Jun-pyo (Played by Lee Min-ho from The King: Eternal Monarch)Boys Over Flowers (2009) has a character which some feel is a most alienating figure in all of Korean Drama Land. I must confess that I don’t understand why. Gu Jun-pyo is self-centered and a pampered chaebol. His is pampered by his mother, his friends, and classmates. Everyone lets him have his way, that is until he meets a girl who kicked his rear end and knew how to say No! to him. He fell in love instantly. Gu Jun-pyo really did not grasp the gravity of his bad actions. This was the life-style he was given, and it had its perks. However, as soon as he met this girl that put him in his place, he allowed himself to be trained for the good. Bad Boy turns Good.
One of the most special scenes was when he almost froze to death waiting outside for this girl to arrive. She asked him why he waited for her outside instead of getting in out of the cold? He said to her that he had never ever had to wait, and he kind of like waiting for someone. The transformation of Gu Jun-pyo is iconic Korean drama. However, this drama is very polarizing in so many circles of friends, but without merit.

THIS MOVIE IS MY CHILDHOOD
one of the first K-drama I've ever watch. I watched this when I was in secondary school ( now I'm the senior at university). At that time I just enjoyed watching it without notice much things , and ofc because those handsome and pretty actors haha. Really love the OST by SHINee and SS501, still listen to those songs sometimes when I want to change moods. Overall, this movie is my childhood, beautiful memories to remember and think about ❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?

I liked the story - F4 (Four super intelligent, super handsome and rich exclusive group at Uni), in comes the middle class innocent girl Jan Di. There was so much angst between the lead pair (Jan di & Joon Pyo), its obvious that Joon Pyo was kinda obsessed with Jan Di, to extent of becoming mean, although he was super sweet too..... initially Jan Di had absolutely no feelings for Joon Pyo...throughout the series one would wonder whether who she will end up with Joon Pyo or Ji Hoo…. there were instances I wished that Jan Di would end up with Ji Hoo. He was one of the best ever K drama characters, calm, soft spoken.....standing by and supporting Jan Di all through the relationship hardships she faced....it was so obvious that he loved Jan Di deeply, & he let her go for Joon Pyo..Honestly one cannot help but fall in love with Ji Hoo .....I wished the other leads stories were more well developed. The ending again was rushed - like many other K drama's towards the end they have to find a way to separate the lead pair...in this case it is to pursue a career (which is great) - it was a happy ending, but would have been perfect if a wedding and some babies were shown between the Jan Di & Joon Pyo (after all the angst).
