Everything is cliché. Car crashes, the evil mother, amnesia... Though, 'Boys before flowers' is STILL WORTH WATCHING! I'd like to say that this series is the mother of cliché dramas. It lays the foundation for others to step on. That is why, you should really give it a try. The acting is brilliant, for one. Especially with the talent Lee Min Ho has in his role as the plutocrat Joon Pyo. Actually, all are pretty wonderful actors. The only thing that brings them down is the story, which sometimes travels too fast, and sometimes too slow. Some moments leaves me wondering if a scene was cut out in editing, as if a piece of information is missing, which only confused me. Also, this series is full of fillers, it seems. Scenes that were made only to make the episodes longer. You know almost nothing about the character Woo Bin, until very late, whereas it seems the director suddenly though "Oh wait! We forgot about him! Let's give him ten minutes of glory!" Ah. But now... for the positive. Why the re-watch value is still pretty high. This is because of the relationships. The so very great triangle drama between the three lead roles, is so perfect the viewer will most likely develop feelings for all three. You will be torn from side to side, wishing Geum JanDi will end up with both of the two boys. Though, the beauty of it all, really comes from the subplot with JanDi's friend, GaEul, and the other F4 member, Yi Jeong. Their bond with eachother is one of the best I've ever seen, in any drama. Them getting closer, to the revealing of his past, and the heart breaking scenes coming from that, is my favorite moments of all. The word is over-used, but I really mean it; their relationship is PERFECT. And shone more than even the lead roles. My heart is still pounding for those two. Boys Before/over Flowers is not something you should watch as entertainment only. You should watch it as something you'll learn from, as it really is a "parent" for all other dramas. It's "basic education" to have seen it. And you will not regret it. Ever.
