Lee Min Ho as "Gu Jun Pyo" in Boys Over Flowers | 20090105

 

Ask any Kdrama connoisseur to recommend a fan-favorite classic and one of them is bound to suggest Boys Over Flowers. Also known as “Boys before Flowers”, this iconic Kdrama hit is based on the Japanese manga of the same name. 


Gu Jun-pyo 

(played by Lee Min-ho) The leader of the F4 and heir to the Shinhwa Group, one of the biggest companies in South Korea. His mother is a cruel woman who believes that only beneficial relationships are allowed. He is hot-tempered and believes that there is nothing that money can't buy. Though he's unable to express his feelings, deep down, he has a heart of gold. He always try to protect Jan-di even if it means hurting his own feelings. He torments Jan-di after she stands up to his bullying ways, but ends up falling in love with her and does everything to protect her.


Early Life

Jun-pyo was born into the famous Gu family, founders of Shinwa Group. He was in line to inherit the company from the time of his birth. In kindergarten, Jun-pyo became friends with Yoon Ji-hoo, So Yi-jung and Song Woo-bin. They also befriended Min Seo-hyun during this time.


High School 

Jun-pyo and his friends were called the F4 by the time they reached high school at Shinhwa School. They used their parents' influence to control the school and do what they wanted, such as wearing regular clothes instead of uniforms. Jun-pyo, in particular, seemed to enjoy using his power to bully the other students. When a student defied the F4, they were given a red card. These students were ceaselessly bullied until they dropped out.


Jun-pyo's most distinguishing feature was his dark, very curly hair. Though he occasionally wore more casual outfits, the majority of Jun-pyo's wardrobe consisted of dark-colored suits. They were often paired with fur accessories, black loafers, and a wristwatch he always wore on his left arm.
