Boys Over Flowers

It's not the original F4 but I must say they are making waves every night in every Filipino television. The show started airing late night Mondays through Fridays but due to insisted public demand, it was moved to an earlier slot at 6:00 P.M. Let's get to know more about the latest craze in town, The "Boys Over Flowers".



Boys Before Flowers (꽃보다 남자) is a Korean drama adaptation of the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango.

The plot is typically the same as the first two versions from Taiwan and Japan. Of course, there are the F4 who are the most prominent personalities in school, who were condsidered masters and makes the lives of the students miserable who are against their will. There is this girl who changed their lives.

Here are the lead characters of Boys Over Flowers:



Geum Jan Di is from a poor family with a fierce and weed-like determination. She first liked Ji Hoo, who was the only one who showed any compassion while she was bullied. Eventually Jun Pyo begins to fall in love with her, and as he expresses his feelings towards her, she gradually begins to reciprocate those feelings. Jan Di later is determined to pursue the medical industry after realizing she can't swim because of her shoulder.

Goo Jun Pyo is the hot-headed leader of F4. Exasperated by Jan Di's act of defiance, he makes her a target of bullying. But as time passes, he begins to admire Jan di's determination and will and falls in love with her. He is the heir of Shinhwa Group, and after his father [supposedly] passes away, he inherits and begins to run the Shinhwa Group along with his mother.

Yoon Ji Hoo is a calm and soft-spoken boy who likes to play the violin, piano and guitar and conduct an orchestra. Seo Hyeon was Ji Hoo's first love, after she helped him overcome trauma after the death of his parents when he was little. He attempts to fight for Seo Hyeon's love by following her to France. When he comes back, he has already realized that he had fallen for Jan Di. However, Jun Pyo has already announced his love of Jan Di. Ji Hoo decides not to betray his friend by trying to fight for Jan Di. He is a grandson of Korea's former president.

So Yi Jung is F4's perennial playboy. Handsome and gifted with a brilliant smile. Yi Jung also has a knack of sweets words that could make every girl fall for him. Even Geum Jan Di's friend, Chu Ga Eul could not escape his charming ways.He is from a family of well-known artists,and is a reputed potter himself. His family owns an art gallery that exhibits national treasures.

Song Woo Bin, from their origin in the underground, his family now runs a prominent construction business. The family owns real estate throughout the country....he is also the very good friend of yi jung and a kind hearted person even though he is known as a Casanova himself.

At first, I thought that this is just the same story plot as the original from Taiwan. However, I was wrong, this is much more exciting, the characters are good as well as the dubbing style. I must say this is the best F4 version I've seen!
