Description:

Boys Before Flowers based on a Japanese shōjo manga Hana Yori Dango by Yoko Kamio. (On the USA know as Boys Over Flowers licensed by Viz) This is the Korean version of the story (personally I like this one better ^ ^)

Jan Di’s family owns a dry cleaning store one day making a delivery at the luxurious Shin Hwa College, she sees a boy trying to jump off the roof, because he has been suffering some serious bullying from all the other students… Jan Di realizes that he is the same guy she has to deliver the clean clothes, so she tries to help him and ends up saving him form jumping off the roof. This starts some bad rumors about the Shin Hwa college students, so in order to stop the rumors they grant Jan Di a scholarship for swimming.

Jan Di tries to avoid all kind of confrontation in spite her sense of justice, since Shin Hwa College is ruled by the F4 the most richest, popular and handsome guys from all the school, they are Song Woo Bin, So Yi Jung, Yoon Ji Hoo and their leader Goo Joon Pyo. Those who dare go against the F4 wishes, receives a red card and end up being expelled of course after some serious bullying is done to them from all the school.

But when Jan Di’s friend Oh Min Ji, accidentally gets ice cream on Goo Joon Pyo’s expensive shoes and she is the one being yelled at and made fun of, Jan Di reacts immediately to defend her friend, so now she has become the new target of the F4 especially from Goo Joon Pyo, who will make her pay for being against his wishes. But Jan Di will not endure this bullying and is ready to fight back!

I highly recommend this drama, so you won’t want to miss it!
