Boys over Flowers is the third television drama adaptation of the popular Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango. It is a drama and romantic comedy series created by Kamio Yoko.

It stared Geo Hye Sun as Geum Jan Di; and Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun-joong, Kim Bum, and Kim Joon as F4 Goo Joon Pyo, Yoon Ji Hoo, So Yi Jung, and Song Woo Bin respectively.

This is a story of an average girl Jan Di who met the four richest and most spoiled and powerful boys known as the F4. Jan Di who stands by her decision to fight the F4 due their bullying acts became the only one who stood up to F4 specially with their leader Jun Pyo. Eventually, as Jan Di spends more time with F4 Jun Pyo develops feelings towards her but Jan Di's eyes is into someone else. But as Jan Di teaches Jun Pyo a lot of things Jun Pyo also teaches Jan Di to learn to open herself to his love as well.

I can't compare Boys over Flowers to other adaptation as I didn't really had the time to watch the other two before. I've seen some of the episodes of the Taiwanese and Japanese Series but I didn't watched the whole thing. Personally, I love watching this adapatation than the others due to the casting as I found the Korean cast more high school like than the cast of other adaptation, plus the fast roll of the story. With the cast I love Lee Min Ho and Kim Bum. They have different charm that you will love to watch.

There are a lot of reasons to watch Boys over Flowers, first the love story of Jan Di and Jun Pyo; its progress and the problems that they will encounter. Plus the love story of Jan Di's best friend Ga Eul and one of the members of F4 Yi Jung.

Some Memorable Quotes from the Series:

I really don't want to say things such as "I want to go back to how things were before". I recognize how i am right now, and I will continue to live on.
Even though I have been hurt before by those heartless glares this also helped me to understand that around me, there still exists some gentle glares. Therefore, I definitely won't run away. That's what I'll do. Definitely. Always.
The quiet classroom after class; The view outside the window; the wooden floor of the corridoors; Talking in homeroom; I like all these. I'm likely to only cause trouble for people and it might not really do me any good to stay here. Even if it's like that, I still want to stay here. Because this is the place where I am.
To be able to smile and tell everyone this; i have, at least, cried one litre of tears. Therefore, even when i leave this school, I definitely won't think that some things have ended.
If you look up at the sky after falling down the blue sky is also today stretching limitlessly and smiles at me...I'm alive.
For those people who are really listening, they will definitely understand.
People shouldn't dwell on the past. It's enough to try your best in all that you're doing now.
Reality is too cruel, too brutal. I don't even have the right to dream. As I think about the future, the tears will come out again.
Where should I head towards? Even if there isn't answer, I'll feel better by writing it down. I've looked for a pair of helping hands but I couldn't feel them, couldn't see them. I only face towards darkness and hear hear the sounds of my hopeless screams.

Poems by Ikeuchi Aya from One Litre of Tears:

The Other Side of Suffering

Everyone feels pain
But surely, after suffering satisfaction will arrive
Even with sports; studying or other ordeals with life,
It's like that for everyone
If we can beat the pain, on the other side
a rainbow of happiness awaits us.
That will definitely become a treasure
Lets believe in that.

Step by Step

When my existence seems to disappear
I will look for the place where I can do the best I can
From now on, I'll deliberate slowly
I won't be impatient
I won't be greedy
I won't give up
Because everyone takes things step by step

Marriage for convenience are done by those who need something from each other. It was like an arrange marriage for convenience that was usually happened to those rich people.

Come to think of yourself marrying someone you didn't love, will you be happy with only those things that will be yours because of marrying them? I am not against marriage for convenience as i respect other people decisions but then i do not want it to happened with me. Every decision have its own reason and its own out come. And on all of it there will surely be a positive and negative things that will happened. Surely we do not want to have bad experiences on our marriage. Who wants to have a broken family? None i think. When parents part ways how will their children accepts it. A lot of factors are needed to keep in mind.

With the super powers she gained through the operation like speed for her legs, her arm was capable of bending steels or throw objects a mile and hearing a whisper even if it was a mile away, she did her missions given by the secret organization and she fights criminals and aliens.

There are a lot of new technologies nowadays and though it was so expensive and at times difficult to use, they were tried by governments and sees how it works and how it will help their country. I am not sure if this kind of technology was used by other countries as i haven't heard it here in our counrty, first it was too expensive for us and i don't there will be a person who will accept the offer. In my opinion, even the person who used this things will lived after a terrible accident there will be a time that things might go wrong and that the super powers that they've gained after the operation will be gone after some times. They'll body will definitely give up as it'll get tired of having those special powers.

Crime rates are really increasing in many countries. We can't really stop it immediately but we can control it if we just gave our dedication to it. There are people who claims that they can cut crimes down though not sure how much still they do everything just to improve their job and cut crime off for their countrymen lives. Crimes are really out there and we should give extra care of ourselves as police or people with such profession is not always around us. We should be extra careful and take ourselves far from such crimes though we can't really say that even though we're being careful we can't encounter those crimes.

You don't have to be of the same level of everything like others told that “rich will be for rich” and “poor will be for poor”, love doesn't work like that. You will feel it and that will make the two of you perfect for each other even there are things you obviously had that the other did not. In Love there's no perfect person. You love them with no reason. You don't care where they're from come, you just love them as it was how you feel. Love them with respect and understanding.

Going to college, deciding what course and school is just like deciding for your future. There are consequences on all our decisions and we can never tell which is right or wrong ahead of time, not until we encountered it and from all of it we've learned a lot. We make decision from our choice of life. We decide witch path we'll take and from there we start, unfortunately there are times that at the start of the game we see that we've made a mistake and the great thing that we have to do was to correct it and made another choice, a choice that we think will make the wrong move right.

Being in college isn't a joke. We should take full responsibility and we shouldn't decide because we want to be with someone like we chose this university because my boyfriend will go there or take this course because my best friend will take it instead we have to choose because it is what we want and what we feel that will made our dream come true. Though it wouldn't be smooth as on the start you'll definitely scared and struggle with the new surrounding, still you'll met new people and eventually fit in.

Importance of family and love was tackled on the pilot episode of the series. Cory will realize that there are more important things to consider before feeling left out. Priorities change while you grow older. Before it's enough for you to play with your father or mother and little brother or sister but when you met somebody else and your happy joining there company you'll neglect the people who joined you before.

Appreciate all the things done by one person for you and for the others. Be appreciative. When someone did something for you it just meant that you are special with them. You don't have to ask why did they do that to you or to others, just be thankful and appreciate what they've done.

Get a good night's rest and be ready to learn in school. Education is important. No matter what career you choose in life, a good education is the most important thing that you can have as no one can get the knowledge that you have in your mind. You have to be ready and full of energy as you start the new day in school.

Don't judge. Judging person is not good. We do have a saying that “Don't judge a book by it's cover”, just means that we don't really know what the person or thing is by just seeing them. We have to know them well, observe and see what they really are but this doesn't mean that it's ok to judge them if you already know them. Before you judge see yourself in the mirror if your capable of doing it. There's no perfect person.

It is perfectly okay to have big dreams, but you have to be realistic in attaining them. Having dreams just mean that you have ambition. Dreaming big is not bad but dream of something that is possible to achieve and do everything to reach your goal and be successful on that dream. Don't waste time dreaming big but not doing something for it.

Didn't give the gift without expecting something, even just a thank you, in return. You're not giving gifts because you also want to receive one. Give it with love and be thankful even if you didn't receive something even “Thank you”.

There isn't one. There isn't always a clear-cut, right or wrong answer to everything in life. We have different views in life and we can't say that other person will relate to what we have in mind or with our opinion. Just like when we have problem, we will ask for opinion and we'll receive different views from our friends, family and relatives.

Those are only few things that you'll learn through Boy Meets World series. Follow and join Cory's life as he grown up and learn from his life.
