If you like the cheesy and cute type of drama this one is right in your aisle. Super cute from start to finish. 10/10 in my opinion of course.

Geum Jan Di comes from a poor family who owns a dry-cleaning shop. One day, she visits Shinhwa High School, a prestigious school for the wealthy, and saves a student trying to commit suicide because of bullying. For her heroic act, Jan Di receives a swimming scholarship and starts attending the school.

In Shinhwa High, she meets the notorious F4, the most popular and powerful group of boys at the school, consisting of Gu Jun Pyo; the leader of F4 and heir to the Shinhwa Group, Yoon Ji Hu; the grandson of a former president of Korea, So Yi Jung; a skilled potter who comes from a family that owns the country's biggest art museum, and Song Woo Bin; whose family runs the country's largest construction company.

Her life at school starts out miserable, as she doesn't fit in with other students because of her status, and later becomes worse when she is labeled as the new bullying target of the F4.

If you liked Lee Min Ho in this drama then definitely watch Personal Taste you will love him.
It's a Rom-Com where two people become roommates in the FL's house because she kinda wrongly assumes the ML is gay and the ML doesn't correct her because he wants to study the house which was built by the FL's father.
It' s a good watch after watching Boys Over Flowers.

19-year-old beautiful Shiratori Reiko is a self-professed ultimate princess. Despite her haughty attitude, she is actually a very late bloomer and knows nothing of the real world. Reiko has had feelings for Akimoto Tetsuya since childhood, but her enormous pride always gets in the way, and she cannot tell him in all honesty that she is in love with him.

Tetsuya soon becomes a university student, and Reiko follows him to Tokyo. But he is constantly at the mercy of her overly unique sensibilities. Then Tetsuya’s ex-girlfriend, a cute high school girl, the wealthy Yoshimoto Ryunosuke, who has fallen in love at first sight with Reiko and Reiko’s rival, Kakitsubata Ayame, appears before the two of them.

Both dramas deal with the rich youth of Seoul. Family drama that is interconnected with other characters in the drama. Both female lead don't like the male lead at the beginning. Bet is part of both dramas.

So..
It may seem well off but Penthouse strikes to be the much more modern and adapted version of Boys Over Flowers. I believe they follow the same basic plan of a drama and develop into different plots. In both series, a lot happens in every episode. The plot of Penthouse is more thought out and the quality of the drama is top. I rate both these dramas very highly, Boys Over Flowers is more of a comfortable vibe.

There will also be other similar shows such as:
Heirs (Inheritors)
Sky Castle
Meteor garden
The Chinese/ Thai remakes of BOF also
And other similar dramas…

- Initially ML bullies FL

The two male leads have a thing for the Main female lead. However the Female lead has someone in her heart.
Just like boys for flowers the love triangle exists.

It s a mix of boys over flowers and the parent story Goong.

Same cinderella vibe but in school. In this drama there's a boy who's the leader of F4, this group consists of the four richest and most handsome boys on the campus. The girl in question comes from a lower-class family and meets the boys. In the beginning, she hated the leader but she was madly in love with one of the other boys in the group.

Not quite as epic as BOF, but if you enjoyed watching the normally arrogant and self-assured Joon Pyo become insecure and goofy as he tried to express his love, then you will like this one. The male lead has a similar vibe and you WILL laugh out loud watching him. Nice little love triangle and some good-looking guys round out the similarities.
