* Ji Hoo saves her from drowning, episode 6 * Jun Pyo saves her from the crowd of bullying kids, episode 5 How many times Jan Di is saved during the series?
LEE MIN HOO AND JANDI SERIES
The amnesia bit was annoying but the resolution at the pool was a series highlight.Ĥ. Mystery man in a coma ( presumed dead Dad) that miraculously shows up in the epilog happy and healthy with now loving Mom was a left-field story.ģ. She made up for it in the end by ditching him at the alter, making sure Evil mom did not snatch Jan Di, and whisking them away to a beautiful getaway effectively saving their relationship.Ģ. Jae Kyung had known that they loved each other but had turned a blind eye to it. I hated that in the end Jun Pyo and Jan Di were willing to step away from their love for this marriage. The arranged marriage to Jae Kyung went on too long.
The crazy of this drama is both good and bad:ġ.
* How many times did they play the theme song Almost Paradise? When they played that song during a fight scene, it was laughable. * Jan Di’s family made me cringe, their overacting was extreme at times. They had excellent chemistry and were compelling as a couple. Romance between Yi Jung and Ga Eul was built over the course of the series. She became my standard for over protective, I-know-best mothers in kdramas. Her insights into him unnevered him multiple times and forced him to see things he’d turned a blind eye to for years.Įvil mom was formidable. President Kang was played by Lee Hye Young and could make any character shrink back with a single raised eyebrow. I liked that she knew Yi Jung was the guy for her and was willing to do the work to convince him of the same. Jan Di’s best friend Ga Eul played by Kim So Eun was naive and sweet yet determined and straightforward. When Jan Di believed so strongly that Jun Pyo would remember their love that she jumped in the pool prepared to wait until he saved her, it was compelling. Her character was reticent to commit to love but once she did, her continuous sacrifices for love mattered. His acting skills were uneven but his appeal took that character far.Ĥ. Woo Bin, played by Kim Joon, completely lost the storyline lottery but this sweet guy had chemistry with the others and knew the value of friendship.įemale lead Ku Hye Sun as Jan Di had quiet chemistry with Lee Min Ho and thankfully toned down the physical acting and amped up the emotional acting as the series progressed. His acting skills were limited but to his credit he stayed in that range and portrayed a sincere friend to both Jun Pyo and Jan Di.ģ. Yi Jung, played by Kim Bum, pottery master, was adorable and had good chemistry Ga Eul (Jan Di’s best friend played by Kim So Eun). Ji Hoo, played by Kim Hyun Joong, was only initially a viable rival for Jan Di’s love until she decided Jun Pyo was the one for her. Lee Min Ho, in his first lead role, carried the show with solid acting (did not overplay or underplay this role) and has only improved in subsequent roles (e.g. He was single-minded in his love for Jan Di. F4 male lead Jun Pyo was charming and caring under the sneering veneer. Totally superficial I know, but they all have fabulous smiles that draw you in.ġ. I loved how they became friends with Jan Di each liking her as a person not just as Jun Pyo’s girlfriend. They acted like real friends, hung out, and they had each other’s backs throughout the series. I learned about binge watching with this show.į4 friendship worked. I was horrified after the 1 st episode with the overacting of Jan Di’s family but was hooked by episode 2. This was my first kdrama and it will always have a special place in my heart.
What I liked about the Boys Over Flowers:Īddicting drama. Jun Pyo is the leader of the F4 (Flower Four), 4 wealthy close friends that are widely popular in the richest high school in Korea. Boys Over Flowers centers around a rich boy, Jun Pyo, who falls for poor girl, Jan Di, with plenty of obstacles in their path to love.

Boys Over Flowers is the 25 episode 2009 Korean TV adaptation based on the Japanese comic series Hana Yori Dango written by Yoko Kamio. Boys Over Flowers is addicting, uneven, and fun to watch.
