&nbsp;
Not one to stir up unnecessary trouble, Jan Di keeps to herself and tries to avoid interactions with rich kids like the F4. However, a turn of events occurs when Jan Di’s best friend Oh Min Ji (Lee Si Young) crosses Goo Joon Pyo (Lee Min Ho), the leader of the F4, by accidentally getting ice cream on his shoes. Jan Di decides that enough is enough and stands up for her friend against the group.
&nbsp;
As it turns out, Jan Di discovers that there’s more to the members than their spoiled-boy façade and finds herself falling in love with one of them. At the same time, Goo Joon Pyo begins to battle his attraction towards her. How will this love triangle change the dynamics of the group?
&nbsp;
Achieving sky-high ratings and bagging plenty of awards across Asia around the turn of the last decade, Boys Over Flowers will be a treat for anyone interested in the themes revolving around issues like socio-economic disparity, family ties, and the joys of love and friendship.
