Korean "Boys Over Flowers" invades Philippine tv!

Blame it on the huge success of the Japanese manga entitled "Hana Yori Dango" written by Kamio Yoko. The F4 fever is back and hitting the Philippine tv airwaves again and other countries in Asia like Taiwan and Japan.

The story basically evolves around a not so wealthy girl and daughter of a laundry/dry-cleaners named Geum Jan Di. Little did she know her life were destined to change after she received a special privilage to attend High School at Shinhwa Academy - an elite school for the rich and famous. And from then on, her life became a roller coaster ride after bumping across the school's famous and notorious group called "F4"- headed by it's abnoxious leader Gu Jun Pyo - who later on fell in love to her. Other members of F4 are Yoon Ji Hoo, So Yi Jeong, and Song Woo Bin: Geum Jan Di's knights in shining armor ^_^
