First there’s Ga-eul played by the lovely Kim So-eun.  In my opinion, her onscreen romance with Kim Bum stole the spotlight from show’s primary pair.  Her innocent look made me want to watch Boys Over Flowers week after week.  My bet’s on the Gae-eul/Yi-jung story if ever there’s a spinoff of the series.  Hopefully this is made soon.

Then there’s beautiful Jae-kyeong played by Lee Min-jeong.  She was supposed to be the female antagonist of the drama but how can you hate a face like hers?  Jae-kyeong didn’t know that she was hurting Jan-di and even tried to be friends with her.  If I were Jun-pyo, I would have chosen her over Jan-di.  I’ll do it without any hesitations at all.

Then there’s troubled Jan-di played by Goo Hye-seon.  Right from the start you’ll sympathize with her.  She’s in the right place at the right time to save someone but then again she didn’t know what mess she got herself into.  She became the object of F4’s hatred but at some point two of them fell in love with her.  At first I can’t figure out what makes Jan-di special.  She’s not that pretty.  But then I got to know more about the actress behind the character.  Hye-seon has got more talent than all the F4 put together.  She can act, sing, write poems, and draw.  She already has a novel published that featured her own illustrations.  This makes her a cut above the rest.

Jun-pyo, Ji-hoo (his name reminds me of the Slumdog song), Yi-sung and Woo-bin might have the top billing in Boys Over Flowers but these three girls are the reasons why boys are watching the series.
