Boys Over Flowers
One of the most expensive romantic Korean drama has ever made in the history “Boys Over Flowers” had caught eyes of the millions even before it is on screen. The making and the scenes captured are the envy of others.
This is not the first time that the super famous Japanese comic book had turned into a foreign drama. Even though there are differences but this Korean series had successfully made F4 looks extremely rich especially in the character of Joon-pyo (stars by Lee Min-ho) the leading actor in this drama where in one of the scene Joon-pyo arrives at school by helicopter, this must be very eye capturing compare to other foreign series.
Yes, this is a Cinderalla beautiful story where an ordinary girl like Jan-di (Goo Hye-seon as the leading actress) admitted to a rich and famous school and gets entangled with the famous F4 ended up being in love first with Ji-hoo (played by Kim Hyun-jeong) and then Joon-pyo the richest and idol of the school. Of course we are not talking about the school basketball nor baseball leader here, what we are looking here is the heir of the Korean multi-billionaire from the gigantic “Shen Wa” while Jan-di is just the only daughter of a small laundry shop owner. This drama shows a big contrast between the rich and the ordinary folk but this drama also brings out the warmth of Jan-di family.
This romantic drama really start with a big bang, you can expect some waves and few HIGHs especially in the first few episodes when the relationship between Jan-di and Jun-pyo has just begin. The second last part are really heart wrenching with the separation of the two follows by the sincere Ji-hoo who always stands by Ji-dan side when she is down. Relationship between Ji-dan and Ji-hoo who turns from potential boy-girl relationship to friends must have tears millions who likes Ji-hoo.
Overall, the happy scenes are too few to be true considering of the characters of Joon-pyo and Jan-di are pretty comedic sometimes but probably this is the way to capture the emotional side of the audience as well.
