1. [+227] Back in my day, we were all obsessing over 'Boys Over Flowers'...

2. [+211] If you try to stay true to the webtoon, you're going to end up with cringy lines

3. [+53] Moon Ga Young is too pretty. I was disappointed that there wasn't that big of a difference before and after the make up.

4. [+54] I got goosebumps at how corny and cringy the drama was

5. [+21] I never saw the original webtoon so there were a lot of confusing scenes in the drama where I didn't feel the character's desperation at all

6. [+11] Amazing that.. we're still producing dramas like this in the year 2020... speechless

7. [+15] The plot's so funny to me. It's like 0.1% about character growth. The rest of it is Jookyung being crazed after by all the men. 

8. Looks like a lot of you haven't seen 'Boys Over Flowers' ㅋㅋㅋ you could never call any of the new dramas as cringy as the ones back then

9. They messed up with the casting for the female lead...

10. I'm in high school and I couldn't bear to watch this because it was so cringy...
