Synopsis:
Geum Jan Di [Koo Hye Sun] is a poor and ordinary girl that helps her family in their dry cleaning business. With it being located near the renown Shinhwa high school and college, her life changes when she goes to the school to delivers a boy’s uniform. In the process of delivering a male student’s uniform to the owner, she had to save the boy from jumping off the rooftop of the school instead. She learned that it was a famously known group called F4 (Flower 4) that drove the boy to commit suicide. After learning this, she started to despise the F4 because she cannot tolerate people picking on the weak. The F4 are known for their good looks, riches, and juvenile behavior towards the other students. In the group, Gu Jun Pyo [Lee Min Ho] is the leader with 3 other boys as his friends and followers including Yoon Ji Hoo [ Kim Hyun Joong], So Yi Jung [Kim Bum], and Song Woo Bin [Kim Joon].

Mika’s Ratings:
**** = SATISFYING!

TOUCHINGLY ROMANTIC!

Mika’s Opinion: The drama was sweet and romantic with gorgeous guys! All four of the F4 members are HOTT, which explains why they are called the Flower 4. An important lesson taught in this series is that there is more to life than money because there are some things that money cannot buy. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the series until the last few episodes because the storyline became redundant. Some of the scenes felt like déjà vu, which made me feel that they were dragging out the storyline. Despite that, I still loved the drama!

POLL:
Who is your favorite F4 member?
A.Gu Jun Pyo
B.Yoon Ji Hoo
C.So Yi Jung
D.Song Woo Bin

*** My favorite F4 member is So Yi Jung because he may be a player and is too conceited for his own good, but he has a beautiful heart that is secretly hoping to find true love. He puts on a cool act in order to protect his heart from getting hurt.
