One of my favorites this year hence I heard about the Korean Version that was being made in the Summer of 2016 so I decided to watch the original series back in 2011. This series I loved it and everything. The only think that i disliked was that there wasn't a lot of interactions with 4th Prince and Ruoxin to make me understand what kind of love did she have for him? Was it just because 8th prince didn't want to give up his mission that's why she chose to love someone else? Overall it is a great drama. I recommend this drama.
Just like what other reviewers have said Boys Over Flowers theme. I believe that it gives off more of a high school theme rich chaebol families. I didn't really like how the male leads are portrayed as little kids that doesn't really know what they are doing. Their physical appearance should lean on more towards older roles. That's one of the reasons why I didn't really like watching it. But over all the story is alright for me but many will not agree with me about my review.
Story started out very great. But then towards the middle it was confusing somewhat because it lacked character development such as what was Yi Chen thinking about? What was the reason why he did that or how did he over come that? For Mao Sheng she needs to clear up with both sides of the story but kept it closed. She didn't want to say anything or so. Acting was great but they all just lacked more character development and I believe that when I watched his drama it was rushed towards the end when Mr Ying gave up so easily or so. If the episodes were brought out with more detailed scenes I would give it a higher ranking.
