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.
