This article is about the Korean musical. For other uses, see Boys Over Flowers.

Boys Over Flowers: The Musical (Hangul: 꽃보다 남자 The Musical) is a South Korean adaptation of the Japanese musical, which was based on the manga by Yoko Kamio. Yumi Suzuki returned to direct.[1] It premiered on February 24, 2017 at Hongik Daehangno Art Center in Seoul, and ended on May 7 after eighty-eight performances.[2][3]

Plans for a Korean musical were first announced in November 2016.[4] The cast was unveiled in January 2017, which included singers J-Min and Min alternating the part of Tsukushi Makino, and Lee Chang-sub, Ken, and Kim Ji-hui as Tsukasa Domyoji.[5] Likewise, most of the cast rotated their parts, excluding Lee Da-som as Yuriko Asai.[1]

Tsukushi (played by J-Min and Min) attends Eitoku Academy, which is ruled by the tyrannical F4. Her life flips upside down when she becomes involved with F4's leader, Tsukasa (Lee, Ken, and Kim) who develops feelings for her. Meanwhile, Tsukushi's crush Rui Hanazawa (Lee Sung-min, Jeong Hui, and Kim Tae-oh) has his own romantic problems.

Notes[]

  • Unlike Boys Over Flowers (2009), the musical retains the Japanese names from the original manga. Otherwise small changes, such as place names, are made to suit the Korean audience.[34]

  • Author Yoko Kamio saw the musical on February 24 and 26, 2017 with someone from her publisher.[35]
  • Kim Joon, who played Song Woo-bin in Boys Over Flowers (2009), went to see the musical on March 11, 2017. He went backstage and posed for a photo with the actors who played the F4 that night, Lee Sung-min, Lee Woo-jong, Kim Ji-hui, and Sun Han-guk.[36]
  • The musical is currently the only Boys Over Flowers adaptation not made available for any type of home viewing. This may be due to the musical's rotating cast.
