Do I regret watching Boys Over Flowers? No. Would I watch it again? Also no. But do I get why it changed K-drama history forever? Absolutely.

The series tells both stories concurrently, showing the past and present. The story follows Sunja as a young child before her father’s death, her choices, and how she ends up in Japan.

If you enjoy knowing your characters intimately, history, a well-written story and Asian culture, I recommend you pick up this book.
