Celluloid Verdict

Loud, dated and gloriously melodramatic, the drama that launched a thousand campus romances runs on pure star wattage — Lee Min-ho's breakout is the reason it still gets rewatched, even as its bullying-to-romance arc has aged badly.

What is Boys Over Flowers about?

A laundry-shop daughter lands a swimming scholarship to Shinhwa High, a campus effectively owned by four untouchable heirs known as F4. When she refuses to bow to their ringleader's bullying, the humiliation escalates and then curdles into something closer to obsession. Rich-boy cruelty, a gentler second lead and constant pressure from a dynasty-minded mother drive one of the most imitated romances Korean television has produced.

Critic Reviews

Short review 4 min read English Boys Over Flowers

Boys Over Flowers (2009) Review: Melodrama at Full Volume

Boys Over Flowers is the 2009 Korean campus romance that made Lee Min-ho a star, loud and gloriously melodramatic, though its bullying-to-love story has aged badly.

Yes, with reservations. It is essential K-drama history and addictive fun for romance fans, but its treatment of bullying and its sheer length will test modern viewers.
