"Boys Over Flowers" is a Korean drama about four rich young heirs and the poor girl who obtains a scholarship to their prestigious high school. Because of the objections of his mother, the hero is always being forced toward richer marriage partners. When he is literally forced into an arranged marriage, his character is weak enough that he keeps asking others to make the decision to not marry for him. But his best friend won't break his wrist, the girl he really loves won't tell him not to get married, and the woman he's supposed to marry won't let him go easily, even when he begs on bended knees.

The drama's last major problem has him injured and developing amnesia, and no one telling him directly that he's in love with the heroine and not the girl who swears he had been in love with her. The heroine takes an extreme measure to shock him into remembering her.

She might have been better off with the second love interest who always stands patiently aside for his friend.

Not to be out done, Thailand’s most prolific TV production company is doing their own version with two of their biggest stars as part of the cast.

F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers (2021) https://mydramalist.com/50007-boys-over-flowers

Fueled by pandemic binge watching Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree & Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn have taken the Thailand and Southern Asia by storm with a hit TV show, 2gether (and its 5 episode sequal Still 2gether) that has gone global. The shows hashtag trended # 1 in Asia every week during the summer. Before their new found fame, Bright had supporting roles in other shows and was a TV show host, but Win had never done anything outside of school plays. Everything they do turns to gold based on their performance.

The other three main actors are making their debut with F4 Thailand. They will all be big stars on the coattails of this drama.
