My First KDrama: Boys Over Flowers!

     If I had to blame anything for my KDrama addiction it would be Boys Over Flowers! It was the first, of its kind, that I watched and I have not been able to put them down ever again!

     This flirty, fun, and fiendish group of boys rule Shinhwa High School...and their lives are forever changed when a new addition is introduced to the school on a swimming scholarship by the name of Geum Jan-di (Gu Hye-sun).

     We first encounter the 4F(Flower Boys): Goo Joon Pyo (LeeMin Ho) the Leader, Yoon Ji-hoo (KimHyun-joong) the 2nd in Command, So Yi-jung (Kim Bum) the Artist, and Song Woo-bin (Kim Joon) the Gangster on Geum Jan-di first day of school and she is both fascinated and repulsed by this group of boys. 

Introducing the 4F

      Geum Jan-di is bullied and teased at school because of her lowly commoner status but she is tough, endearing, honest, and loyal to her friends. This starts chipping some of the ice around Goo Joon Pyo's heart but unfortunately he has no clue on how to love and be loved. (Plus he's the one that started Geum Jan-di's bullying to begin with! Sigh!)

Geum Jan-di stands up for herself

       This could easily have been another typical drama but the cast brought empathy and laughter to Boys Over Flowers and it has become one of the most watched and celebrated dramas since 2009. This is the epitome of high school dramas that pushed these actors into Hayllu status.
