Critics Consensus
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.
Celluloid Critics Consensus
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.
