Boys Over Flowers (꽃보다 남자) is a 25-episode South Korean television drama broadcast by KBS2TV in 2009. This is the Korean drama adaptation of the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango. It is the equivalent of Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden and Japan's Hana Yori Dango (TV series), and thus making it the third televised version to air on television screens.

At Shinhwa, she finds that a group of rich and good-looking boys called "F4" ("Flower 4" or "Flamboyant 4") who enjoys tremendous popularity.
