Boys Over Flowers

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.

• 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
