If you're a fan of K-Dramas, there's no doubt you've come across the iconic series "Boys Over Flowers," which took the world by storm upon its release in 2009. Based on the popular Japanese manga "Hana Yori Dango," this drama has been a gateway into the genre for countless viewers.
"Boys Over Flowers" tells the compelling story of Geum Jan Di, a tenacious working-class girl portrayed by Goo Hye Sun. She earns a scholarship to the prestigious Shinhwa High School, where she finds herself entwined with the lives of four affluent and influential boys collectively known as the F4. The heartthrobs include Gu Jun Pyo, played by the charismatic Lee Min Ho, Yoon Ji Hu represented by Kim Hyun Joong, So Yi Jung by Kim Bum, and the charming Song Woo Bin played by Kim Joon. Despite their good looks, this elite group is not without their share of troubles, as they also embody the role of bullies in the school hierarchy.
Among the ensemble cast, Kim Bum's So Yi Jung stands out as a character with a tragic backstory—his family owns the country’s leading art museum, and his character evolves from a notorious playboy to a loving companion. Another fan-favorite is Lee Min Jung, who captured hearts with her role as Ha Jae Kyung, Jun Pyo's fiancée.
Fast forward 15 years since the premiere, and fans have been treated to glimpses of the cast reuniting and sharing their joyous moments on social media over the years. However, the latest reunion that has set social media ablaze is that of Kim Bum and Lee Min Jung, who finally reunited after 13 long years!
The special moment occurred at a Montblanc event, where the pair snapped a series of pictures together that instantly sent fans into a frenzy. Lee Min Jung posted a stunning sunset photo and followed it up with a series of delightful images of her with Kim Bum, prompting nostalgia among long-time fans. The caption, “Met F4 at a Montblanc event,” hinted at the delightful reunion, and Kim Bum responded warmly, expressing how much he missed her by referring to her as her character, Ha Jae Kyung.
Many fans were astonished by the pair’s timeless looks, exclaiming in disbelief how neither seemed to have aged. One user shared their photos on social media, triggering a wave of retweets and comments as fans reminisced about the show's impact on their lives and the pop culture landscape.
As "Boys Over Flowers" approaches its 15th anniversary, fans are hopeful for a full cast reunion that could capture the magic of the series once again.
