This drama completely failed to interest me.
The story line itself isn't something unique; rich boy fall for poor girl.
At first I found it very interesting and loved JanDi's personality but It changed too quickly after a few episodes.Meaning that her personality did a complete flip, yes i understand this is a romance drama and usually their personality softens but for the story to seem more realistic i felt that a part of her old self should've been seen.
The only reason i managed to finish it was for the side characters.
The Side characters' personalities were stable and acting were superb and felt myself rooting for the them opposed to the main couple.
The main character couple just got repetitive and made me lose interest quickly.Honestly I felt it was due to the duration of the drama.
The acting was superb..I've seen dramas with Lee minho and Goo Hye since they're very popular, but this drama, in my opinion didn't make me fall in love with them like their other dramas did.I'm not sure if it was due to their character or not.I will admit their acting seemed very natural and since I've seen them in other present dramas I can definitely say they grew as actors with the experience.
Music was entertaining I enjoyed the majority of the songs.
Mainly the ones from SS501 and SHINee.
Felt everything matched very well the climax of the story till the ending.
The F4 aka the popular rich guys are everyone's dream boy, they're the perfect representation for the ideal men.Which is why till this day most shows in korea used them as a reference when describing a group of good looking men.This drama is constantly looked back which is why it's famously known.
I will not be re watching this I know that for sure.
Unless you really enjoy a over dramatic love stories then I don't recommend this drama.
All actors and actresses portrayed their characters well but the overly storying line and duration made the overly experience fairly poor.

Some of the scenes however did not make any sense and I ended up shipping Ga Eul with Yi Jung more than I shipped GYP with Jan Di (sorry not sorry) the worst part is some of the scenes were waaay to cringy and I forced myself not to close my eyes while watching it.
But besides all that this drama is a classic and a must watch, I really enjoyed it overall.

goofy but you have to keep in mind which era it is from :)
I'm having a lot of fun watching this chaos lol. i get the hype everyone gives it lol. but i wouldn't hype it up as much.i think a lot of these reviews had an issue with the show because of its messy storyline and i respect their opinion. but i think we also should keep in mind that it's a 2009 high school rom-com and it fits well for that period tbvh.
but what I did have a problem with was the acting especially Koo HyeSun she overdid her character's tackiness quite a few times, the best she did was crying but the rest didn't really feel natural at all.
i really liked jandi and jihoon "a friend in need is a friend indeed" dynamic so far. and well jandi and junpyo breaking off for the smallest reasons possible makes me lol cuz yes that's how high schoolers date lmao. but the second couple, Yijung and Gaeul, really got me rooting for them.
the president (i don't like calling her his mother she's not worth it) reminds me of all the itv vamps from the '00s and '10s.
i was first skeptical abt watching it seeing it's length (25 eps) but I'm 13 eps in and it's not that bad. lol the first few episodes i had to skip a LOT of scenes and i still skip a few cuz they're cringe.
I'd rewatch it few months after I've completed it but not as a whole but maybe a few episodes here and there.

Story------The story is very special and unique and i love how korean's portait it so well!The story is very innocent and that's why i loved it so much!The kinka's if you can call them were very cute and only not innocent character's were two guys i think you know who it was.
Couples-----I ABSOLUTELY love every 3 couples that were there..So cute and aarghhhh they were all funny but at same time serious.It would be amazing if there was some sequel to their marriage life because this..this needs it!
Acting----I think this is Lee Min Ho's best role!Also he had amazing chemistry with the main girl that i forgot name of-.-...Anyway all actors did fantastic job and i clap them!Even my mom started to watch it so she became addicted too so this states how amazing it can be in every age category!
Music----I think this was off....i liked only two songs and that were Because i' m stupid and Fight the bad feeling....yeah i know that SHINee did also song for this but i didn't liked it...Don't hate me it's my opinion...
Rewatch value----I rewatched it already SO MANY TIMES!It's always amazing and still it never get's old!The story should be rewatched often...i'm even up to another korean remake because it would be fun if someone would be as amazing as Lee Min Ho in lead role but still i highly doubt it.So if you still didn't watch it u should right now!I didn't find any bored moment only funny and sometimes sad!

Abysmal
This is what got me into dramas, so I feel bad giving it such a low rating, but it really is basically unwatchable for me now. I tried to rewatch it for nostalgia's sake last year, but I found it unbearable. The storyline is cliched, but that is really the least of this drama's problems (I actually love Hana Yori Dango and the original Meteor Garden, which follow the same story). The acting is awful, the details of the plot are made painfully repetitive by the poor direction, everything feels contrived and the romance is completely dead. There is no chemistry between the actors, everything is ridiculous, the music is horrific, everything is annoying.Skip this.

You want to become a good father. You’re a lonely but affectionate person. That’s exactly who you are. Say it… my name.” – Jan Di
We all korean lovers know the name of this classical drama,that will forever stay in our heart."Boys over Flowers" changed the whole Asian industry and made it grow bigger than ever.I have wached all the "Boys over Flowers" versons,watched the anime and even read the manga.This korean version has cut deeply than any of the others.I LOVE everything about this wonderful tv-series.The deep and sizzling romance between the arrogant and hot-tempered Go Jun-pyo and the optimistic and hard-working Geum Jan-di,the warm friendship between Jan-di and the remarkable F4...and the uniqe brotherhood of F4.I love the songs,they couler the drama so much.I both laughed when they laughed...and cried when they cried.I was there with the main-characters from the start.I fell in love with them through their journey together.This unforgettable,severe and beautiful drama are one that will stay in our hearts forever...
