This is my first writing Review. And i don't know how i'll star first writing
Okay. This is my first drama, which I started to watch. Because of this i'm going watching kdrama.

Story: Hm, i don't like it, not bad. sometime have interest story, sometime is bad.
This drama does not have any story, they are does not have a smart bussines. Like a circus.

Acting / Cast: But Gu Hye Seon, this girl is not standing for him, she tries like a funny girl, but it does not work, and walk like a Quasimodo. She pissed me out.
Lee Min Ho is okay, not bad. Like he not trying acting ( I like Min ho). Kim Hyun Joong he just have a two face serious and little smile. Kim Sang Beom he is one going good job.

Music: I like it, masterpiece.

In the end, i'll take 10 poin Overall, because it's my first drama. That's why.

My first K-drama. Thanks to this I got hooked up in this world. A friend recommended Korean dramas and I was like "Who in the world watches them". Now I have watched more than 100 dramas and I should say thanks this one I guess ! The usual rich guy poor girl formula but when Koreans did it I fell in love with this world. Anyone who watched this one would never forget Lee Min Ho as Gu Jun-pyo and his peculiar hair style. Gu Jun-Pyo, Geum Jan-di and F4 would remain in everyone's heart for a lifetime I guess !

Boys Over Flowers is I think the Kdrama known all over the world (for what it looks) and the most popular show in Korea . It is a first drama that we look at when we start this experience. The difference between poor and rich is well addressed in this drama is also one of the main themes. I really like all the characters especially the secondary characters although have not see them enough to my liking, I find interesting the evolution of the friendship of the F4 because despite the problems they are always the one for the others. As I said before, I find that we do not show enough the secondary characters, we did not have time to see how their characters evolved especially for that of Song Woo Bin because we know practically nothing of him. I really liked the alchemy between the characters, their friendships, their love and especially the fact that all the members of the F4 see themselves as brothers to each other, they are very welded. The character of Ga Eul the best friend of Jan Di (the main female character) Ma especially more and emotionally affected; The fact that she is looking for her soul mate, and that she would do everything for Geum Jan Di, they are very close, the problems that the evolution of their friendships is not one of the subjects in depth. I find that there are sometimes or passages are too corny and sometimes are not enough, there are scenes that seemed to me long at some point. The sister of Joon Pyo (male main character) was a pure delight to watch, I loved all his lines. I do not appreciate the arguments. I think that the character of Yo Jung was well developed on certain point especially on his past which was still painful for him and his family situation. I know it would say that I am not loved SE drama but infact its was quite the opposite although at the beginning I was not very convinced because it is not too my type, it was after watching a second that I was more appreciated and a new kind of which I am Fan now at the same time, I think it's a very good drama and I recommend it to se who spineless start this adventure in the dramas (looked at it first).

PS: I prefer the secondary couple.

Kdrama must watch

Every “long time” or “frequent watcher” Kdrama fan knows for a fact, if you watch dramas you ALWAYS have to watch the classics and this is like the classic of all classics. THEE classic! This is the kdrama that’s been remade so many times that you have no choice but to watch them all even if the story line is kinda crappy!!

Korea changed quite a bit about it adapting it from the manga ( which was CRAZY abusive), so I’m happy about that.

But this was still really abusive, the male leads hair is so ?!! like the roller set is not eating, nor was his nasty ass attitude! And the female leads hair was crappy too, the bob did eat a lil but not that much! Plus he was crazy controlling!!

Yes I know u girls luv the lil “possessive boyfriend” trope and ain’t nothing wrong with that!! ( not my life so idgaf) But he did the fucking most!!

Definitely recommend so you can find out what good kdrama are like!!

I would’ve changed so much about this but I’m not the director and it was made when I was 2 ? gotta get over it!

Lifetime trauma of Joon ho not getting the girl instead!

Well, as the headline says Joon Ho definitely deserved the Geum Jan Di. But then again she was stupid to go for the bad boy who clearly mistreated her the whole time. Bullying, abusing, cheating, ghosting. You name it what he hasnt done with Jan Di. I still dont get why this drama is hyped so much. Maybe it might be the F4, eye candy flower boys that marketed the title well. In the begin Jan Di was this wonderwoman who didnt stand injustice and bullies. But then during the course of the drama she became this miserable girl, helpless by love. Joon Ho helped her heal with all the wounds that Jun Pyo gave her. But eventually what did he get? Nothing! So sad. But then again when Jan Di liked him, he was into this other noona like older woman who rejected him. Damn these stupid woman in this drama. There were many fillers in the drama as well. Like them going on cruise ship for school trip, them horse riding and doing other sports to win the girl, organised by none other than the Jun Pyo's noona. Anyway, it can be a good past time but not something to make time for. Because not worthy enough.

Am not a drama fans but like to see it some times. Just watched this BOF a week ago !!! (years after the airing :) )
Though I know the ending what's gonna look like (watched Meteor Garden 2001 & 2018), but after watched BOF, I come up with guilty feeling when Jun-Pyo suddenly came at the end.
Ji-Hoo (or Hanazawa Rui/Huaze Lei) involve so much in Jan-Di. Not only efforts but the deep feelings.
This version is the only one I regret the two (Jun-Pyo and Jan-Di) become together.
Other casts also showing their own strength.
Appreciate this series brought Korean atmosphere here. Can feel the different.

This is my first ever Korean drama. And I fell in love with this drama and Korean dramas too. You have to watch this drama for sure irrespective of the rating. When I first joined MDL BOF(Boys Over Flowers) was given 8.1/10 rating. Later 8.1 became 8/10, and now the rating fell to 7.8 !!!! And it is very disappointing. It is such a good drama but i don't know why it got such low ratings.

The entire cast is so GOOD. I think BOF is the drama which bought the korean drama wave to the entire world. The ost is no disappointing too. I am sure that everyone who watch this drama will definitely fall in love with Korean dramas.
BOF is like Cinderella fairy tale as the plot runs about a rich man and a poor woman. Although the role Geum Jan Di (by Gu Hye Seon) might seem to be a bit irritating to some people at the beginning, she did a great job with her role.

You might feel a little bored at a couple of episodes after watching half of the drama because of a little dragging in the story but you'll feel worth watching the whole drama. BOF was already made in many other languages but no other language's remake was as popular as BOYS OVER FLOWERS.

Please do sure watch this drama or else you'll miss the fun... ;P
I hope my review is helpful. Thank you for sparing your valuable time to read my review. :)

One more time...

This is a lot of fun and kept me entertained right until the end.
I love Lee Min Ho's hair! This is his first & best role and it wouldn't have worked without that hair, he should re-perm it! The reason why this is so watchable, is that he loves the FL sooooo much and this love is unshakable. Now ladies, who wouldn't fall for a handsome, rich man with nothing else to do but adore you, and not only that but no matter what you say or do keeps on loving you. Sadly, in the real world this doesn't exist, he would have moved on in one red hot second, but hey that's why this drama is so successful, it's a pure wish fulfillment fantasy. I feel sorry for the F4 member that didn't get his own story line except for a brief mention of the mafia and suicide. Gosh, the female lead does get in an awful load of near death accidents just to draw out the story line and keep re-affirming the male leads love for her. There are times when the story looses it's thread, in search of new excitement, but suspend your disbelief and just enjoy the ride :)

Boys over Flowers has got to be my favorite drama of all time (and I've seen a lot of dramas)! This was my very first drama. It's definitely a classic. The acting is superb! The couples have so much chemistry together. This is one of the love where I can feel it so deeply as if I'm the main character. My heart rips every time they are crying for each other. The story line is awesome. There are funny parts, but there are also some really sad scenes. I think overall, this drama deserves way more love. Don't mind the hair! You'll get over it as you dive deep into the drama. Also, the two male leads will get a hair makeover. I cried so much in this drama. Their love and acting is so real that I wonder why did they not get married in real life! I cannot describe this beautiful masterpiece in any other words. Just watch it!

I am not Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, Japanese, etc., so I write my opinion without bias.

I can endlessly talk about why I prefer boys over flowers than other versions but I will say briefly and specifically:
1) Let's start with the visuals, the most handsome and fascinating f4, I Kim Bam's smile is enougth than all the other versions of the cast taken together.
2) Soundtracks, becouse I'm not listener to the music of Asian countries in general, the most i like was bof's ost , some of the soundracks have their place with Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, The Beatles, Quinn and many others in my playlist.

3) Developing the story I like that we have information about all f4 characters and about their life, pain, everyone has their place and time , unlike other versions where everything turn around to 1 character.

4) Also Number of Series: Meteor Garden 2018 and also 2001 little tiring , 50+, 48 minute series is boring .
5) Kim Bam and Kim Soo's second-rate couple, amazing chemistry between them, the only version I watched not only for the main couple but also for the second couple.
6) Whoever writes here was not a friendship between F4, I do not know what you call friendship, so I will not continue the dispute, though the most honest relationship between them than all versions
7) Performance: The only actor who could be replaced is Jandi, others are good for me .
8) Boys over flowers is the version that best demonstrates that money, popularity, and appearance are not enough for happiness.
  To write here that this drama is bad is a bit of a shame when it is unanimously acknowledged as perhaps not the best of all, it is also a matter of taste, but one of the best dramas that has made history and made me and millions of people interested in Korean and Asian dramas in general, sorry. But "not so good" dramas can't do it :)

It was not my cup of tea

I had to watch this iconic drama even though the storyline is not my cup of tea. I would not rewatch it however, since the production is quite old and the storyline did not satisfy me. I really enjoyed Lee Minho's performance, as well as the rest of the F4 actors. I did not really like the female character because she was being portrayed as way too childish and immature (the acting was really good, i think maybe i didn't like the way the character was written). Nevertheless, the OSTs were amazing and this really increases the value of the K-drama in my eyes!
