Jan Di is an average girl whose family owns a dry cleaning store located near the luxurious and well known Shin Hwa College. Jan Di meets the four richest and most spoiled boys known as the F4. After saving a boy from jumping off the roof of Shinhwa High School, she is admitted into the school on a swimming scholarship. Jan Di tries to avoid confrontation with the F4 at all cost because she knows what happens to those that stand against them.

I’m in love with this drama. Watching it over and over again without getting tired. This is the best drama in my heart. I love Ji Hoo

this drama was ok.. Not one my favorite. The beginning was good the middle part got boring.. same thing over and over.. not getting any where.. not interesting.. if you wanna watch this drama watch the first 3 parts and watch the last 3 parts and you wouldn’t miss anything.. I don’t why this drama has high rating.. there are alot more better dramas out there that deserves high rating.. boys before flowers is a 7/10 in my book..
