About This Quiz

Love K-Pop music and Korean BBQ? If so, then maybe your interests also lie within Korean TV shows. Some of the more popular ones include "Mr. Sunshine," "Love Alarm" and "Something in the Rain," but today, we're going to focus on something a little more romantic and dramatic: "Boys Over Flowers."

The first episode premiered on Jan. 5, 2009, and since then, the show has received numerous awards. From the KBS drama award for best couple to the Baeksang arts award for most popular male in television, "Boys Over Flowers" has left a heartfelt legacy on its fans and the South Korean culture. But what's this show all about anyway? Well, it features Ku Hye-sun who portrays Geum Jan-di, an "average" girl who suddenly enrolls at a wealthy and elite school after preventing a student's suicide attempt. There, she meets Gu Jun-pyo, who is portrayed by actor Lee Min-ho. Let's just say the two don't get along at first, but romance soon sparks between them.
