Boys Over Flowers is based on the hugely popular Japanese Manga, Hana Yori Dango, by Yoko Kamio. The Korean TV adaptation dominated the ratings. This K-Drama will make you laugh, cry, and root for the underdog. Jandi is a brave (and poor) high school girl who hates bullies and will fight for the rights of others no matter the cost. When she defends her only school friend from the elite Boys of F4's (Flower 4) abuse, Jandi becomes their next victim. She fights back and soon wins the admiration of the extravagantly wealthy boys. This is a GREAT show! The characters/actors are solid. The relationships between spunky Jandi, Junpyo (the ruthless leader of the F4), and the kind-hearted yet aloof Jihoo will keep you riding on an emotional roller coaster. The packaging of the series is fabulous! I was actually shocked with how nice the presentation/layout of the discs was (sturdy box to hold discs with photo album inside). Such a great buy. Well worth it!!! This series will make you laugh and cry so have tissues nearby. Also, there are many unexpected twists in the story so the viewer is never bored. And if you've never seen a K-Drama before, this one will make you become an addict. Once you watch Boys Over Flowers (the entire series), you WILL watch it again and again. I sure have and it gets even better each time.This review is for the YA Entertainment Studio Version of the Korean Series Boys Over Flowers. Subtitles are excellent (easy to read, few grammar errors). Picture quality is amazing.
