Boys Before Flowers is a Korean Series created in 2009 and based on the Japanese manga, Hana Yori Dango. The live Adaptation Distillation used similar characters but with different names and outcomes over the course of a 25-episode arc. It is actually the fifth, most recent, and only Korean-produced adaptation.

After saving a rich kid from suicide, Geum Jan Di is invited to go to Shin Hwa Academy, a kindergarten through University campus set up strictly for the rich and beautiful. There she gets bullied by F4, a foursome of bored rich upperclassmen who rule the school. After standing up to their leader, Goo Jun Pyo, her life becomes a Love Dodecahedron as several of the members become attracted to her.

The series contains examples of:

 Jun Pyo: "If sorry was enough, then why would the law and police exist?"

Jae Kyung: "Let's go together!"
