A Western sage once said:
Woman,
gorgeous gold diamonds and
shining pearls
have won you a delusional imagination like a queen.
However,
all around you are
the poison of power,
the fragrance of arrogance, and the
temptation . The scent of murder.

Woman, when you salute wealth again,
cheer fame and fortune, and raise your arms to power,
please don't ask the thrush that used to sing,
he doesn't know where to fly, because its voice is dry and hoarse, for the
sake of truth. and purifying the soul's perdition.

—— Shan Cai "Meteor Garden"

I don't know if anyone still remembers this sentence.
When I was a junior high school student, I thought it was such a beautiful sentence.
At that time, I thought that the protagonists in "Meteor Garden" were all so beautiful.
Perhaps this is the charm of idol dramas.

The Korean version of "Boys Over Flowers" that I watched for so many good reviews
was really good.
It is even better than the classic Meteor Garden in my impression.
The clothes are well styled.
The characters are well set.
The background and so on, you can see that it costs a lot.
In terms of plot, it is very compact and tense.

It may be because of the reference from the previous ones, this version of Boys Over Flowers feels more mature.
But I don't know if it's because I've seen many versions before watching it or it's something else, the traces of imitation are too heavy. I feel that every episode has been seen, and the freshness is a little bit worse.
For the character and plot rhythm, it is still recommended.

The heroine is very cute, and plays the stubbornness and strength of the golden silk grass and the emotions of some very delicate little girls very well.
But maybe it's too much to do well and it feels a little too much.
I love her eyes.

Such and such people, such and such love, everyone is the best version of themselves.
