Boys over flowers is the kind of drama that when someone who's new to korean drama asks you which drama should I watch first you find yourself recommending it! it's based of a Japanese manga called Hana Yori Dango and in my opinion I find most of the dramas based on a manga are fairly successful this one actually tops the list ok first the story: it started with a weird plot twist a funny one to be exact I didn't get it but afterwards I found it nice what I didn't like was the cliche story of a poor girl joining a school with rich guys it's not that I hate it but it's almost happening in every korean drama but it didn't bother me as much I also didn't like the idea that the heroine is way too much tom-boyish and that didn't change until in the second part of the story and I actually have a problem with these type of heroines and the weird thing she's good to only the guy she loves and she screws the rest I won't say more because of spoilers but who watched the drama will get it ..she had an average character development for a tom-boyish girl falling in love and all but personally I'm not a fan of Geum Jan di as for Goo Joon Pyo the character is a bit cliche but I liked it.. the bad spoiled rich guy turns good after falling in love.. I liked how loyal he is to his girlfriend and how much his acts were acts of true love the ideas and the moments between Jan Di and Joon Pyo were impressively romantic and new.. and as for the character developments Joon Pyo's were the best and So Yi Jung's were the worst..I hated how much heartless he was even after too much moments of showing love he was still a jerk and I don't think normally there is that much of a jerk in somebody towards a girl who treats him nicely the story gets a 9 because it was a romantic overdose for me which I really liked Acting: let me first start with Gu Hye Sun because I have a little problem with her showing emotions..first of all I thought the character didn't fit her Jan Di was way too aggressive and Hye Sun's face features didn't show that ..she actually didn't look like a bad girl to me she was the kind that made me laugh every time she made an aggressive move because she was so small and cute to hit guys and being a bad girl and as for emotional moments Hye sun's problem that she can't separate between how to look sad on the verge of crying face and the Do I look like I care face or more like I feel sad but I just don't give a damn face Lee Min Hoo is an exceptional actor for me because he's really good at expressing his emotions on his face and actions specially when he's angry I have a little problem with him overrating sadness and the way he shows it but I think I can pass because his overall good acting makesup for it I give the acting 8 because of Gu Hye Sun obviously Music: I won't be overrating when I say this is one of the best Korean drama music of all time and the secret in my opinion that is the songs fit the moments they play in a lot.. which helps you get focused on the scene and what's happening in it.. I still have the music on my current playlist it's one of my favorites I give it a 9.5 Rewatch or not?: I give it a 5 because the drama is way too long for me to rewatch it since I'm the kind of person who rarely rewatch a drama unless I'm waaay too attached to it overall: this drama is one of Korean dramas classics which means it's a must if you're still new to korean dramas it's one of the best school dramas out there and if you're looking for hardcore Romance this drama is for you I give it an 8.5 and I could've gave it more if the heroine was someone other than Gu hye sun.. hope this was useful ;)
