Third, the second male lead, even though he seems lovable has quite a nasty character. As soon as she starts to be involved with Jun-Pyo, her character starts its downfall and, in the last episodes, I could barely understand how she manages to pass from cool Jan-Di to weak Jan-Di. Second, the female lead is a bad-ass character at the start and the more the drama progresses, the more she seems to weaken and become only the shadow of the character she was. Sure, he softens, but he stays the same jerk that make us grit our teeth at the beginning.
#Ji hoo and jandi full
Jun-Pyo is a spoiled rotten kid, full of himself, unable to see the reality, thinking the whole world is his and he doesn’t really change, even though he’s with Jan-Di. First, the male lead is absolutely despicable and makes our eyes burn with his fashion style. All that it’s seen everywhere, it’s cliché. The discrimination between the poor and the rich, the school only reserved to the elite, the annoying male lead who’s the richest of the rich. I won’t talk for the hundred time about how cliché that school drama is. It’s a simple drama who isn’t hard to understand and can easily become addicting (I mean, I watched it in one night), even though the plot is lacking in many ways. I mean, it’s a good way to enter into the k-drama universe, even though people might not especially like it. Yet, I won’t deny that it’s a good drama. Since it’s THE k-drama that every drama addict should have watched once in his life, it was natural that I would do a review about it, but, even though I liked it at first sight (it was my very first k-drama because I was curious about it, since I kept hearing things about it from the k-pop world and wanted to understand), now I have a whole other perception of it.

Even though the concept is often us in books (I won’t start to do books reviews, never), Boys Over Flowers seems to have paved the way of many school dramas by setting some “basis” often seen in more actual k-drama. nowadays, it’s also THE cliché of cliché. Since it seems to be THE k-drama, it’s normal that.
