La historia que se cuenta en la serie no podemos decir que sea una historia real ni que haya muchas opciones de que ocurra, sin embargo, ahí es donde está la magia y principalmente de los dramas: hacerte soñar con historias así (aunque después no nos ocurra).
Por otro lado, los personajes son muy graciosos y lo que más me gusta es que en ningún momento pretenden ser perfectos dado que todos presentan sus propios defectos y eso es lo que los hace humanos.
A pesar de ser una serie de 25 capítulos bastante largos, el ritmo de la misma es muy rápido (al menos casi siempre).

su mérito es la nostalgia del primer k drama
the page asks me for a minimum of characters so I will write my review in Spanish (mi ingles es elemental para escribir tanto). Como empezar? Como todo el mundo dice, es un clásico de aquellos años... con un mal guión, trama desarticulada, actuaciones regulares pero a veces con grandes escenas.este fue el primer k-drama en la tv de mi pais (hace muchos años) vi la serie traducida a mi idioma y luego la volvi a ver subtitulada así que la he visto dos veces XD
volveria a ver la serie por nostalgia y diria WTF jajaja
Solo lo recomiendo para... los nostálgicos que lo vieron en ese momento. Si buscas un buen drama con un buen guion, argumento maduro y actuaciones notables esto no es lo tuyo

RESEÑA <3
Desde que empecé en este mundo de los K-dramas, quise ver este, pero nunca me decidía por él. Al enterarme de que lo iban a quitar de Netflix, fue el momento en el que lo cliqué y lo comencé.Es una historia bonita, pero hay partes que quizá se hagan un poco pesadas. Por ejemplo, los recuerdos o las partes a cámara lenta.
El OST, es hermoso. Cada vez que sonaba Shinee no podía evitar alegrarme de escucharlos.
Por lo demás, los personajes son especiales, cada uno tiene sus problemas (que la serie se encarga de explicar bien) y se les coge un cariño especial.
Jun Pyo me gustó bastante, pero en particular, me enamoré demasiado de Ji Hoo. Su personalidad y el trato hacia JanDi es tan bonito…
En sí, quiero a los F4 en mi vida.

Sólo porque fue el primer k-drama que vi.
A este k-drama le guardo mucho cariño porque fue el primero que vi, en ese momento me pareció muy bueno y disfruté mucho verlo, incluso lo volvía ver una o dos veces más. Sin embargo, hay muuchas cosas cuestionables que son tomadas a la ligera o casi romantizadas. No creo que sea terrible, pero no llega a ser para nada el mejor. Fue mi primer acercamiento al sufrimiento de los triángulos amorosos, pero ahora lo pienso y tampoco es que ninguno de los dos intereses amorosos fuese lo suficientemente bueno, pero sigo prefiriendo al personaje de Ji Hoo.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
Historia entretenida y dramática sin ambiciones
Es un dorama entretenido y con actuaciones buenas. Pero después de haber visto mejores cosas no puedo darle mejor nota. La historia podría ser mejor sin duda, al final es lo de siempre, una chica pobre que capta la atención de un chico rico.Como he puesto en mi rating, las actuaciones on buenas, porque tiene buenos actores, pero tampoco llegan a ser deslumbrantes o de lo mejor que he visto. La actuación de la protagonista en concreto no me acaba de convencer.
En resumen, es una buena serie para pasar el rato, pero no vayáis con muchas expectativas de que os cambie la vida. Al final, no deja de tener los típicos clichés asiáticos, y, con toda la personalidad que aparenta tener la protagonistas, al final acaba siendo "domesticada" en un comportamiento más sumiso.

Comencé a ver esta serie para conocer los comienzos de Lee Min Ho, leí que había sido un exito en su momento y ahi él se hizo mas conocido, también leí que esta basado en manga shōjo japonés y me llamo mas la atención. La verdad es una serie entretenida, poco profunda, con escenas que al verlas lo que provoca es apagar el TV, Seguí viéndola y reconozco que la historia se hace interesante y te engancha. Y ahi es donde hice la conexión que me permitió verla de una manera diferente. Ejemplo, al principio pensabe como es posible que en una escuela pasen esas cosa y nadie supervise o castigue, que mal, después pensaba, es posible que cuando ves o lees manga, no piensas en esas cosas, solo ves el dibujo y lees lo importante. Cuando entendí eso empece a disfrutarla mas, muchas escenas que las veia como dibujos, la ropa, los peinados, los contrastes, es evidente que hicieron ese esfuerzo para que la estética tuviera mucho que ver. Verlo de esa manera lo puedes disfrutar mucho.
Ahora, hubo algo que me molesto todo el tiempo y no pude lograr disfrutar la serie solo por eso. La actuación de Gu Hye Seon, me costaba sentir empatía por ella, sus muecas eran las mismas para todo. Muy mal ahi.
El otro pero los flashbacks, creo que se pasaron, si no hubieran exagerado, la serie seguro duraba 18 capítulos, jajajaja.
Por supuesto que no la voy a volver a ver, reconozco porque Lee Min Ho fue premiado en su actuación, muy bueno, claro ahora es mucho mejor.
Si la ven como si vieran manga, seguro la disfrutan mas.

simplemente la quieres por lo que es y ya está
No vamos a engañar a nadie, la historia no vale para nada la pena. Pero Boys Over Flowers es obligatoria para cualquier que se esté adentrando en el mundo de los dramas asiáticos y además es la primera historia de muchos de nosotros. Así que no es que no sepamos que es mala o no lo queramos ver. Somos conscientes de las actitudes nefastas de los personajes, de como nos meten un triángulo amoroso sin sentido, también sabemos que no deberíamos dejar nunca entrar en nuestra vida a un Gu Jun Pyo, pero la queremos.Queremos a Boys Over Flowers y le perdonamos cualquier cosa. La hemos visto hace años y la hemos visto ahora, más deconstruidas e informadas, habiendo visto mil dramas mucho mejores. Pero ha sido el comienzo para muchos y por eso siempre tendrá un huequecito en nuestro corazón.
O la amas o la odias. No hay punto intermedio.

The story is just a big WTF! to me, really... and it doesn't always make sense. But incredibly it is still a catchy story lol, this is what BOF is, it somehow hooks you up, but deep inside of you, you know that what you're watching is not good at all.
The acting is just BLEH! although I love Lee Min Ho and now is one of my favorite actors, in BOF he wasn't as good as he is now... it wasn't a terrible acting but it wasn't a good one either... Same for Koo Hye Sun, she's good at dramatic scenes and crying and suffering but she lacks emotion in other scenes like kisses or funny moments and etc...
F4: oh boy! the eyecandy in this story has a 10/10 these four Asian boys doing whatever they want with your feelings and looking hot while they're destroying your heart haha it's just asdfghjk...
And probably what makes this drama a "must see" and a famous one is Yoon Ji Hoo (Kim Hyun Joong) BOF probably has the worst and saddest second lead syndrome ever! REALLY... even if you don't ship JanDi with JiHoo the drama still makes you feel terribly sad about JiHoo's life (a terrible and lonely one) omg! my heart still aches when I remember...
Despite of all that BOF is a very rewatchable story... if you want to cheer up, or cry like crazy or just remember or see hot Asian boys gathered in one drama, just go to BOF. :)

So I've always wondered what makes Jun Pyo click so much. I mean, there are tons of other arrogant chaebols in various dramas that are tamed by Plain Janes. But with Jun Pyo, it's like a whole new level of excitement. I have concluded that it's the childish sincerity. Jun Pyo is a bully but when he's sincere, he just moves you, you know. He has his childish and bully ways but his heart is at the right place. And yes, Lee Min Ho is freaking hot and works those curls charmingly ;)
Coming to other characters. Geum Jandi is disliked by a lot of people. You just have to turn-on the viki comments and (BAM!) you're showered with all the abusive words in the world, directed towards Geum Jandi. But I love her! Yes she's not the typical K-drama lead girl with her long hair and honey voice. She's a total tom boy who takes no bullshit from anyone, yet she's a sweet and simple girl and pretty likeable.
Coming to Jihoo. I know lots of people got their hearts broken Ji Hoo didn't get the girl (and maybe that made people hate Geum Jandi more when she refused his confession). I felt sorry for Ji Hoo too. He had the sweetest smile that could make anyone melt and I shipped him with Geum Jan Di faintly. I think I would've shipped him harder with her if Jun Pyo wasn't so awesome. But Ji Hoo's character was great.
The rest of the characters were great too. The acting is BIG 10 for me, especially because of the lead pair. I know majority of people prefer Lee Min Ho in City Hunter over this drama, but if you ask me, I love his acting more in Boys Over Flowers.
The music is sooo good. This was the drama that introduced me to the world of kpop through Shinee's song "Stand By Me". "Lucky", "Yearning of the Heart", "Paradise" and "Because I'm stupid" are really great songs too and overall this drama has a brilliant OST. Definitely on my top 10.
My rewatch value for this show is a solid 10 because I don't even remember the number of times I have rewtached it (lol). Love it. One of my favorites.

First I should say that one of the first Asian dramas I watched was Hana Yori Dango (the Japanese version), and even if we can admit is far from perfect, I enjoyed it. Later, Netflix had Boys over flowers, and I decide to give it a try to compare between the two versions. But, since the beginning I couldn't stand the female lead. Not only she is far far away from pretty, or normal (what an awful hairstyle she has), but also I think she tried to be funny and failed terribly.
Not for a second I could believe Goo Joon Pyo would fall for her (in fact, zero chemistry there), nor Yoon Ji Hoo, who, by the way, it's kind of masochistic because it does not make any sense that he follows her for so many years, helping and saving her all that time, without nothing in return.
So... For the story, nothing original, but the main problem is the plot, no sense at all. The acting... It could be muuuuch better. The music, overall the main song, drives me nuts, and no, I'm not going to rewatch it never ever. I only finished it because I have a problem with dropping books and series and I lost my time finishing them. Conclusion: if you want to watch something lightly funny, go for the j-version. It worth the watching even only to see Matsumoto Jun and Oguri Shun together.

Boys Over Flowers was a nice drama. It has its sparks here and there but it never really caught my heart. The story line was good, the cast was just amazing and the soundtrack just makes you flutter.
But Hana Yori Dango/Boys Over Flowers, in my sense, was a story about a kind and brave girl who fell in love and changed a guy who longed for love among everyone else. A girl who did all she could to protect her loved ones and fight for herself. A guy trying to show to the girl he loves that she was the only one for him, with the help of his friends. A not-so-cliche couple, trying to prove to the world how much they treasure each other and how they can overcome all the hardships reality threw to them.
BOF gave viewers great visual on how the F4's lives were. But I never saw the friendship between them. They were good-looking as hell but, the closeness was not there. Jan Di was, sure, poor, but I don't think she would gobble down food like that.
Jun Pyo and Jan Di had sparks, just wasn't enough. Their chemistry just never caught my heart, unlike Domyouji (Matsumoto Jun) and Makino (Inoue Mao). Never got their version of the necklace either. Domyouji gave Makino the necklace as to let her know that she is his soul-mate, based on horoscope. Why the moon never escaping the star?
I guess every adaptation has its own twists and patterns to make it different from the others. Just so happens that this one, indeed caught me eye, but not my heart.
( Tho I love the fact that they made a side story to Ga Eul and Yi Jung, even tho it was not in the manga xDD )
I don't regret watching this. It was a nice drama. Lots of eye-candy and idol-ish faces. Just that, compared to the other versions, BOF was probably the one I like the least. I recommend this to those who have watched HYD or Meteor Garden, since if you're a real fan of this story, you definitely have to see this.
:D

Before any of you die-hard BoF fans rage at me for the ratings, please not that this is my own *personal* opinion, ergo you don't have to read it if you don't like it. II'm not trying to be mean or rude, I'm just saying that everyone has an opinion and you have to accept that.----
"Boys Over Flowers" might have been my first drama ever, but I can't really remember. I do remember that this was the first drama I watched I finished. At the time, I really had no idea what to expect, but seeing how much the friend who introduced it to me loved this drama, I figured it had to be pretty good. So I watched it and wondered how exactly a mess like this got such high ratings.
Story: Speaking from an objective standpoint, BoF is a hot mess. The fans must have been really forgiving to fall in love with characters who drove kids to suicide, and a story that had the main couple breaking up and getting together pretty much every other episode. I like romance and watching the OTP get through conflicts victorious, but I also like having another overlying story arc to keep me interested. In here, was there even something beyond Jan Di's and Jun Pyo's romance? I didn't even ship them.
Acting: Lee Min Ho, despite his mane of shame, is a good actor. I haven't really seen him anywhere else, but he's good here. Kim Bum is outstanding and his chemistry with Kim So Eun was pretty much the only reason I kept watching this. Kim Joon didn't really have that many scenes, but he was good and I'm fairly certain the only reason Kim Hyun Joong is here is because they needed another "flower boy" and were running short. He's really not that great of an actor, but pretty moves mountains. I'm not a hater, since I'm a huge fan of his music, but maybe he can brush up on his acting. Ko Hye Sun, frankly speaking, annoyed me to no end. Not just her character, but her in general. I don't think I'll ever watch a drama with her ever again. She's not a bad actor, but I don't feel like she's particularly good either. Plus, her chemistry with Lee Min Ho felt a bit forced.
Music: I'm still not sure if it was meant to be so funny. "Almost Paradise" killed me no matter what scene it showed up in. The director was really unwieldy in using the music wisely and spacing out the songs, so most of the other music grated on my nerves by episode 15.
Rewatch Value: Ha. No. Never. You would have to pay me to get me to sit through it. This drama may have been other people's favorite, but to me it was tedious and long. The plot spun in circles and the angst shot through the roof and there was still no plot beyond Jan Di and Jun Pyo.
Overall: This drama was so popular for a reason, I guess. Pretty is such a powerful force its nearly sentient. Another reason? If you were sincerely rooting for the main couple and honestly really liked them together, you would watch just for them and for the gratification that came with seeing them together. If you really did not care about the main couple, you would probably throw your computer out a window.
