Boys over flowers is probably the most overrated K-Dramas of all times. I enjoyed watching it but there was nothing extraordinary about it that would make me understand why some people are at awe with this.

First of all, Gu Hye Seon looks too old to be a student and Lee Min Ho looks more like her nephew than her boyfriend.
Secondly, the acting was OKAY and just OKAY.

There are some good layers to the story especially the friendship that stood the test of time and space but apart from that, there is nothing new or particularly something that we haven't seen before.

The numbers of cliches are nauseating and at one point, I could predict scene by scene what was about to happen.

Kim Hyun Joong's acting is commendable and Lee Min Ho is pretty good too.

The number of episodes are a little too much and the story could have easily wrapped up in 20 episodes.

The show has some great comic scenes and some emotional scenes (especially the one shot in the basketball court).

Overall, it is a passable show that can definitely be watched once and enjoyed. I wouldn't watch it again though.
