"Boys Over Flowers" Characters are so much in demand everywhere they go these days from their millions of adoring fans who are mostly teenage girls. These Korean stars composed of four men and one woman are taking their stardom in stride. However, to shrieking fans seeing them in person is worth the money and the effort they spend for so long as they can get a good glimpse of the characters they always follow on the TV show "Boys Over Flowers."
One reason why there is so much fanatism of fans for the characters of "Boys Over Flowers" is in the story plot itself, the beauty and handsomeness of the casts and because the plot was designed to develop into a triangle love affair between the heroine and two of the four guys involve in the story. Precisely, this would make the fans agog over who their idolized heroine falls for.
First on spotlight is the only girl among the five characters of "Boys Over Flowers." Her name is Geum Jan Di. She is an ordinary high school girl who is a capable swimmer from a school without a swimming pool. Jan-di family owns a modest dry cleaning business near an exclusive high school for the moneyed rich of Korea. One day, while bringing over to this school their dry cleaned uniforms, she was able to save a student who tried to commit suicide. Her heroic effort was played up by the press and she received praises from many sectors. The exclusive school decided to award her a scholarship in swimming for her deed. It was in this school for the rich where she meet the four F4 boys who are the richest among the students and who are all spoiled brats. The story of "Boys Over Flowers" would then begin to unfold from hereon.
Goo Joon Pyo is next on spotlight among the five characters of "Boys Over Flowers." Jun-pyo is the richest among the four boys. His family owns the biggest business in Korea. He grew up not in the care of his always busy and on the go parents, but in the care of servants. Because of their very rich stature, Jun-pyo grew up in an athmosphere of all- around the clock security since there were several kidnapping attempts on him which even resulted to his near drowning . The experience made him afraid of water and avoided swimming. His situation made it necessary to master the art of self defense and so he bacame a martial arts expert, obtaining the highest degree in all forms of self defense. Jun-pyo is the leader of the four boys or the F4 in "Boys Over Flowers." The person he is afraid most is his older sister, Joon-hee. Fear is what he felt for her older sister instead of love. And because Jan-di reminds him of his sister, the love that he would have expressed for his sister is unexpectedly channeled to Jan-di. This is the real reason why he fell for Jan-di. I would imagine many of you fans of Jun-pyo and Jan-di might be surprised at this revelation.
Next is Yoon Ji Hoo. Ji-hoo is the most handsome among the F4 in "Boys Over Flowers." His grandfather is Dr. Yoon Seok-Young, the former Korean President. Ji-hoo has music in his blood. His family owns the Su-Am Cultural foundation. the art Center and a Korean Orchestra. At a young age of 5 years, he lost both his parents due to a car accident. Ji-hoo was at first madly in love with Seo-hyeon. With the help of Jan-di, he courted Seo-hyeon and even followed her to France . Ji-hoo later came back to Korea after realizing that what he felt for Seo-hyeon was only pure admiration not love. Ji-hoo has an attitude of being an insensitive person. He seemed to know what to do with his life but concern for others is definitely out of his way. His friendship with Jan-di, however, made him realize his negative attitude. Ji-hoo is part of the love triangle that will exist in the korean TV series " Boys Over Flowers " together with Jun-pyo and the show heroine, Jan-di. Their love triangle is definitely one reason why teenage girls are so keen on watching every episode of" Boys Over Flowers"
The third character on spotlight is So Yi Jung. This "Boys Over Flowers" character is an exceptional and talented potter. Yi-jung came from a very well known family of potters that own several ceramic manufacturing concerns. Yi-jung, however, lives under the shadows of his elder brother who is more talented than Yi-jung in pottery making and was expected to take over the family business until something happened that made hi elder brother leave home and stopped his interest in ceramics business. The burden of shouldering the continued operation of their family ceramics business is now left squarely on the shoulders of Yi-jung. When it comes to his love life, he feels inferior which is the main reason why he acts as a playboy since he could not stand to settle with one girl due to his inferiority complex. Actually, the character of Yi-jung in "Boys Over Flowers" is that of a gentle person, kind hearted and one who is trying his best to seek out a girl that would come to understand his weakness.
The last character is Song Woo Bin. Woo-bin is the most mature of the F4. He likes going out with older women and is considered as the most mellow of the four brats of the "Boys Over Flowers" characters. And just like Yi-jung, he is also a playboy. His family is in the construction business and owns one of the giant construction firm in Korea. Woo-bin always like to court sexy but matured beautiful women and would go partying with them whenever he can. Because of his flamboyance coupled with his handsomeness and social stature, matured ladies he courts would usually fall for him.
