a teaspoon of sugar and 10 bottles of cringiness
‘Boys Over Flowers’ is probably the start for many kdrama fans, and for me, it served as the “restart button” that reignited my passion for watching dramas back in middle school (I’m 27 now).
When I first watched this drama, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. However, after rewatching it now, I can’t help but curl my toes in embarrassment. The cringe factor in some scenes is almost unbearable, and the acting leaves much to be desired. I found myself laughing uncontrollably every time Gu Jun Pyo and Yoon Ji Hoo appeared out of nowhere to save Geum Jan Di—it’s like they had a magic portal or something! LMAO!
Despite its flaws, ‘Boys Over Flowers’ holds a special place in my heart as a nostalgic piece of my drama journey. It’s a reminder of how far the genre has come and how my taste has evolved since those middle school days.
