She promptly butts heads with the school’s elite, the “F4”, not only known at Shin Hwa School, but apparently famous throughout Seoul by reputation (and good looks): Goo Joon Pyo, leader of the F4 and heir to the Shin Hwa fortune, Yoon Ji Hoo, grandson to the former President, So Yi Jung, a famous artisan and well-known ‘player’ and Song Woo Bin, son of the Mafia boss and playboy. Geum Jan Di is a spunky poor girl who, by a twist of fate, is given a scholarship to the most exclusive, expensive school in Korea: Shin Hwa. Iconic in that it contains all of the classic elements (and clichés, of course) of the standard Korean drama, and that it launched several young people into international stardom. It is also rather iconic in its own right. It was, after all, my very first Korean drama and continues to be a ‘gateway’ drama for many a new drama fan. We’ll begin with “Boys Over Flowers” for several reasons. I will review all of the Lee Min Ho dramas I’ve seen to date: “Boys Over Flowers”, “Personal Taste”, “City Hunter”, “Faith” and “I Am Sam”. So to celebrate I will be publishing 2 critiques a week until the glorious event. I won 2 of the coveted tickets to see the man himself, live and in person, March 10 th in Los Angeles.
The “Countdown to Lee Min Ho” will now commence.
