AFTER six years, the F4 fever is back on small screen all set to knock girls off their heels again as ABS-CBN’s brings the grandest Korean production ever made – “Boys Over Flowers.”
Starting Monday, the Korean remake of the highly-watched Taiwan romantic drama series “Meteor Garden” will introduce four fresh F4 faces on primetime TV, namely: Lee Min-Ho, Kim Hyun-Joong, Kim Bum, and Kim Joon.
The four Asian superstars adapted the phenomenal characters of Asia’s sensational boyband F4, but in a distinctive drama approach and all new setting shot in magnificent places like New Caledonia and Macau.
Before this Korean canned series reaches the Philippines, hundreds of young Filipinos are watching and following the stardom of these four guys through the Internet.
This clamor was witnessed by Sun.Star last May 8 as countless fans trooped to ABS-CBN’s Dolphy Theater to watch the special screening of the much-awaited series.
It is like the four Asian stars were there, as the fans screamed at the top of their voices when the stars appeared on the widescreen. They were all familiar with the characters and the background of the four stars.
The first one week episodes of the series were condensed into a one-hour show. Everyone was all hooked as the people cried for more when the screening ended.
Same as the Taiwan version and the best selling Japanese manga “Hana Yori Dango” (meaning boys are better than girls), “Boys Over Flowers” follows the story of an average girl named Jan Di (Koo Hye-Sun or popularly known as San Shai in the Taiwan version), whose life suddenly turns into both an adventure and nightmare as she received a scholarship at the highly-exclusive Shin Hwa School where she crosses path with the richest and famous F4 (Flower 4).
Jan Di gets the ire of F4’s leader Jun Pyo (Lee Min-Ho or Dao Ming Su) as she criticized how the Shin Hwa heir uses his influence to bully students around in school.
When Jan Di received the dreaded “red card,” everyone keeps their distance from her to avoid getting into trouble except for one person – Ji Hoo (Kim Hyun-Joong counterpart of Hua Ze Lei), the most silent and mysterious member of F4.
Jan Di becomes closer to Ji Hoo and develops feelings for him, but little they know that Jun Pyo gets more smitten to Jan Di despite her tough personality.
So Yi Jeong (Kim Bum) meanwhile is F4’s perennial playboy and talented potter as well. His good appearance, brilliant smile, and honey sweet words make countless women swoon. He will be the love interest of Jan Di’s good friend Chu Ga Eul.
Song Woo Bin (Kim Joon) will not be left behind in terms of affluence and charisma, as he is the young master of a real estate construction company that owns half of Jeju. As a boss of an underground gang, Woo Bin is the most skilled and capable F4.
Even Jun Pyo acknowledges So Yi Jeong’s strength. He keeps the peace among the F4 members and protects his friends every time there is trouble.
Follow the exciting love triangle of Jan Di, Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo, and the much-awaited wittiness of So Yi Jeong and Song Woo Bin.
