I LOVED BOYS OVER FLOWERS FROM THE FIRST EPISODE. THE ACTING WAS AWESOME. LEE MIN HO IS OUT OF THIS WORLD ALL OF F4 ARE HOT AND GREAT AWESOME ACTORS. I WATCHED IT A LOT OF TIMES AND I'LL WATCH IT AGAIN. WHAT JUN PYO'S MOM PUT JAN DI THROUGH WASN'T EVEN FUNNY BUT SHE WAS A STRONG PERSON LOVE HER BECAUSE OF THAT. LEE MIN HO'S PART WAS AWESOME HE WAS A MEAN F4 BUT YOU HAD TO LOVE HIM. I'M REALLY HAPPY FROM START MIDDLE AND END.

Love, Love, LOVEDDDDD BOF! Lee Min Ho had some wacky hair, but he's a great actor and the adorably curly mess fit him in this drama. The plot was well thought out, like all dramas it had its slow moments, but picked up quickly and left me wanting more. The ending was good, yet i wasn't ready to leave it. Probably watched it like 3 times! One of the best ones out there. The lead female actor is good too. Her character was likable semi tough. rather than mushy and needy, which i liked.

Okey let's starts with the cast, outstanding! I'm a suspect with Lee Min Ho, Kim Bum and Kim Hyun Joong because i'm a suuuuper fan of them. I watched this drama because it's is a remake of Hana Yori Dango and i wanted to make a comparison x) I liked the korean version more i have to admit they explain more the story and make more sense, Not just the main role but the guest role have a story too, i love that.

BOF what can i say but very good. i really enjoyed this drama from beginning to end. The acting was very good, and i loved the twist of the Rich dude chasing dwn the poor girl. The story line was very simple and easy to follow. Jan di i wasn`t rlly in luv wit her @ 1st but she grew on me, well played. i`m a bit disappointed in the ending, but at least everyone was happy.
All in all a very good drama with a good cast, well done peeps. recommended go watch it; love, sadness, drama, ups n downs it got it.

Okay so i think every saw this drama but let me write my own opinion on it!^_^

Story------The story is very special and unique and i love how korean's portait it so well!The story is very innocent and that's why i loved it so much!The kinka's if you can call them were very cute and only not innocent character's were two guys i think you know who it was.

Couples-----I ABSOLUTELY love every 3 couples that were there..So cute and aarghhhh they were all funny but at same time serious.It would be amazing if there was some sequel to their marriage life because this..this needs it!

Acting----I think this is Lee Min Ho's best role!Also he had amazing chemistry with the main girl that i forgot name of-.-...Anyway all actors did fantastic job and i clap them!Even my mom started to watch it so she became addicted too so this states how amazing it can be in every age category!

Music----I think this was off....i liked only two songs and that were Because i' m stupid and Fight the bad feeling....yeah i know that SHINee did also song for this but i didn't liked it...Don't hate me it's my opinion...

Rewatch value----I rewatched it already SO MANY TIMES!It's always amazing and still it never get's old!The story should be rewatched often...i'm even up to another korean remake because it would be fun if someone would be as amazing as Lee Min Ho in lead role but still i highly doubt it.So if you still didn't watch it u should right now!I didn't find any bored moment only funny and sometimes sad!

it is good drama but I prefer Hana yuri dango as the plot is more interesting and what I see Japanese drama is more hyperbole than Korean one but the song and the actor/actress the boys before flower is the best.

I honestly thought I did a review on this one.. First of all I have seen all the versions of this drama that has been made, but this is the one that I will watch over and over again.  The cast is TOTALLY AWESOME.   The chemistry was there from beginning to end was just fantastic.   I never got bored watching any of the episodes.  I had what most would call second lead syndrome.  I totally love Lee Hye YoungKang Hee Soo [Joon Pyo's mother]  is was awesome playing the villain in the drama.   There is nothing not to like about it.  I do have one tiny little complaint..I wish it was longer or had a second season to wrap things up.  

The music was beautifully done. My favorite is Because I am Stupid song by SS501.

Abysmal

This is what got me into dramas, so I feel bad giving it such a low rating, but it really is basically unwatchable for me now. I tried to rewatch it for nostalgia's sake last year, but I found it unbearable. The storyline is cliched, but that is really the least of this drama's problems (I actually love Hana Yori Dango and the original Meteor Garden, which follow the same story). The acting is awful, the details of the plot are made painfully repetitive by the poor direction, everything feels contrived and the romance is completely dead. There is no chemistry between the actors, everything is ridiculous, the music is horrific, everything is annoying.

Skip this.

“You’re not afraid of anything in this world, but when you see a bug you start quivering in fear. Rather than having a single finger broken on your girlfriend, you’re an idiot that thinks it would be better if all your ribs were broken instead. You don’t even know the difference between pride and privacy. You’re so stupid you swear your always right even though you completely mess up every saying in the book. You hate kids but you want to take your son to go see the stars.
You want to become a good father. You’re a lonely but affectionate person. That’s exactly who you are. Say it… my name.” – Jan Di

We all korean lovers know the name of this classical drama,that will forever stay in our heart."Boys over Flowers" changed the whole Asian industry and made it grow bigger than ever.I have wached all the "Boys over Flowers" versons,watched the anime and even read the manga.This korean version has cut deeply than any of the others.I LOVE everything about this wonderful tv-series.The deep and sizzling romance between the arrogant and hot-tempered Go Jun-pyo and the optimistic and hard-working Geum Jan-di,the warm friendship between Jan-di and the remarkable F4...and the uniqe brotherhood of F4.I love the songs,they couler the drama so much.I both laughed when they laughed...and cried when they cried.I was there with the main-characters from the start.I fell in love with them through their journey together.This unforgettable,severe and beautiful drama are one that will stay in our hearts forever...

A very iconic and memorable drama.

I think this drama was a first to a lot of fans today, including mine, so it's definitely why everyone absolutely adores it. I remember me and my sister coming back from school and watching it in 2015. In a way, I have many memories attached to it so it really holds a special place in my heart. But if we're being real and honest here it wasn't that WOW, the acting was pretty sh*t, one of the only ones that could act was Hyunjoong (will never forget my first ever Second-lead syndrome with Jihoo, still heartbroken till this day lmao). But NOTHING can ever beat the OSTs, they're fr in my playlist T-T, I don't usually care for music in dramas but the OSTs for this one were really good and stuck with me. Rewatched this a 100 times and will certainly rewatch it a 100 more times. To be honest I wouldn't recommend this to those who aren't used to these old-school and cringey K-dramas, it's a different type of cringe fr.

the mind versus the heart: is loving BOF a moral issue?

yes, this show has aged poorly and has problematic aspects - however I still love it so I don’t understand you haters who made it go down to a 7.5 stars!!! anywho, it’s not about the show itself, but the ability it has through it’s nostalgic music, weird characters,and crazy plot to make you forget about your miserable life. thank you, and watch this show! it won’t improve your life, but the characters’ problems sure will make you forget about yours. #thisOSTslaps #GeunJanDi4theDeathPenalty #allMediaIsProblematicAnyways

I think that with Korean Drama it's all about timing. If it is your first one, then it will always be dear to your heart. Therefore I can understand why this drama is so loved and one of the most popular korean dramas. However, watching it ten years later, I do fail to see what other saw. The story is okay, too close to a manga story but with the korean notes all over it. However, everything that kept happening were ridiculous. I can't even imagine what the production of it costed, as they went to countless trips, even had a horse race, a car race, sports cars and castles for houses. But it wasn't the riches that spoiled the plot. The amount of cliche twists was unbelievable and I was left wondering if they really used that trop, as most of the events happening were idiotic. Though, there were some parts of the story that I liked. I especially enjoyed the side pair story, as they were cute, and also the start of the drama was really strong.
Now, for the characters; most of them were okay, although the leading lady got a bit annoying eventually with all the screaming and falling while walking. But, the highlight of all was her family. They were basically potrait like caricatures, always pushing the girl to do things she didn't want just to obtain money. The F4 were adorable, so I can't really say much about them (though at first they were really dislikable).
Overall, a lengthy drama, with ridiculous plot, some annoying characters and a good cast : 4 out of 10.
