Synopsis

Jan Di is an average girl whose family owns a dry cleaning store located near the luxurious and well known Shin Hwa College. Jan Di meets the four richest and most spoiled boys known as the F4. After saving a boy from jumping off the roof of Shinhwa High School, she is admitted into the school on a swimming scholarship. Jan Di tries to avoid confrontation with the F4 at all cost because she knows what happens to those that stand against them. However, when Jan Di's friend, Oh Min Ji, accidentally gets ice cream on the leader of the F4's shoes, she's forced to declare war on the leader of the F4, Goo Joon Pyo.

Si parerea mea: Nota 9- 9,5

Boys Over Flowers

Povestea incepe cand O fata saraca Geum Jan Di ajunge din intamplare intr-o scoala privata (pentru cei mai bogati ..) si , iarasi din intamplare, ajunge sa invete acolo si in plus chiar din primele zile intra in conflict, bineinteles, cu F4- patru baieti ( frumosi si bogati) care detineau controlul in acea scoala..Din gluma El, personajul principal si liderul lui F4, Goo Joon Pyo ajunge sa se indragosteasca de Ea. Aici apare si un al treilea personaj, care ii este Ei doar prieten, Yoon Ji Hoo(tot din F4)- Ea fiind chiar atrasa de la inceput de el, dar care pana la urma se indragoste nebuneste de Jan Di.. (insa,,, asta e- El invata sa sufere din dragoste- pentru a 2-a oara - not pathetic at all;))). Aici, in paralel se dezvolta si o alta poveste de dragoste, dintre al treilea membru F4 si prietena Ei cea mai buna, la fel saraca.Bineinteles ca apar problemele de natura sociala(paturile sociale),iar "dusmanul" cel mai rau fiind mama lui-"witch";) , nu mai vorbim de o fata la fel de bogata ca si El care trebuia sa-i devina sotie ,insa domnisoara e atat de indragostita de El si in plus devine o prietena de-a Ei incat decide sa-i ajute, si astfel pana la finele ultimei serii 16 se rezolva toate problemele cu un happy end.
Nu am mentionat de cel de-al patrulea membru F4 deoarece el apare ca un personaj ajutator aici- ii ajuta pe ceilalti..
Nu lipsesc si scenele comice coreene cunoscute, chiar bune!!
Dorama a fost televizata pana in martie, la 31.03 fiind ultima serie...

Boys Over Flowers

Boys Over Flowers...
In ultimele saptamani circula stirea cum ca aceasta drama a suferit un fiasco....de-a dreptul neasteptat pentru cei din echipa de filmare care au asteptat mult mai muld de la acest film mai ales k este pentru publicul tanar si pentru ca e despre povestea 'cenusaresei'.... sau poate chiar si din cauza asta pentru k lumea e mult prea obosita de motivul 'cenusaresei', care e mult prea ireal pentru viata reala..
Nota?7-8 si un 9 pentru baietii din F4:Lee Min Ho(the bad prince- but softhearted), Kim Bum(sweet prince), Kim Hyun Joong(just handsome prince ;) ) and Kim Joon
