Most popular coming-of-age kdrama of all time!

Boys over Flowers is the first kdrama I ever watched. I remembered period of my life when I watched it - in July 2011, I had just resigned from job to pursue a master's degree overseas. This series was playing on tv when I returned home early from the last week of my work. I was intrigued so I watched the series in whole. It has been 13 years since I watched this series so I'm writing based on what I remember and compilation video from Asian Crush (no time and desire to rewatch this series).

What I liked:
1. Ji Hoon - I always prefer Ji Hoo to Joon Pyo. He's quiet, mature and kind. The happily ever after guy not the happy for now type of guy (that's Joon Pyo).
2. Romance - I actually like the relationship between Yi Jung and Ga Eul because it was natural and sincere. Ki Bum was so endearing.
3. Sass - Not a fan of her character but Jan Di had sass to fight against Joon Pyo and her school bullies.

What I disliked:
1. Too much drama - too much for me to handle, be it from school bullying to Joon Pyo's family saga. His mother was really overbearing.
2. Joon Pyo's hairstyle - who could ever forget?
3. Class inequality - This drama really emphasised the big gap between rich and poor. Snobbery. I hate that Joon Pyo was condescending towards Jan Di at the start.

Favourite scene
When Ji Hoo kissed Yi Jung. What a tease!
