Boys Over Flowers (2009)
The show has essentially become a cult classic over the years. For many, it was their first foray into the K-Drama scene and thus carries a strong sense of nostalgia and reminiscence.
But it should really stop there.
Cliché after cliché , trope after trope, stereotype after stereotype. Iffy characters at best trying to navigate their way around a wildly over the top plotline. It romanticizes unhealthy relationships that offer heavy emotional baggage with little to no payoff. Without a doubt, the show's core is an ugly mess protected by its presentation and production values.
Ironic, since it claims to prefer boys over flowers.
