Cool Old Guy | |
| Boys Before Flowers / int_17501df2 | comment |
Cool Old Guy: Butler Lee and Manager Jung (Madam Kang's secretary) — both of whom seem to be fully aware of the rotten schemes their respective bosses (Jun Pyo & Madam Kang) are capable of, and do their best to protect people (read: Jan Di) from being unnecessarily targeted by the aforementioned two if they can avoid it. Manager Jung even goes out of his way to schedule time for Jun Pyo to see the rest of F4 in the midst of all the crap he has to do as the Shin Hwa group's heir. | |

Poor Communication Kills: Ji Hoo and his grandfather — they each blame themselves for the accident that killed Ji Hoo's parents, and Ji Hoo's grandfather left the family and the company because he couldn't deal with the guilt. Ji Hoo takes this to mean that his grandfather blamed Ji Hoo for the accident, leaving Ji Hoo to deal with the mental trauma that comes with the entirety of his family dead or absent. To a lesser extent, Eun Jae says that this is the reason things didn't work out between her and Yi Jung. | |

Though this may be a case of the Alpha Bitch just switching sides as usual now that it's known that Jan Di is innocent. She can go from adoring Jan Di to setting her bike on fire depending on whether Jan Di is accused of cheating on Jun Pyo or not. She never seems to have many standards where bullying is concerned. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: this is the Alpha Bitch's response to Min Ji's betrayal of Jan Di. Though this may be a case of the Alpha Bitch just switching sides as usual now that it's known that Jan Di is innocent. She can go from adoring Jan Di to setting her bike on fire depending on whether Jan Di is accused of cheating on Jun Pyo or not. She never seems to have many standards where bullying is concerned. Even though he's the one that ordered the bullying, Jun Pyo is actually pretty pissed when he finds out that some students went so far as to almost rape Jan Di. | |

Shipper on Deck: Jan Di's family really wants her to marry Jun Pyo. At first, it's because he's rich, but they like him a lot when they meet him. In fact, everyone in the series seems to ship Jan Di and Jun Pyo at some point. Ji Hoo's grandfather is very obviously trying to push Jan Di and Ji Hoo together near the end of the series. | |

My Greatest Failure | |
| Boys Before Flowers / int_6ee10e0 | comment |
My Greatest Failure: Jun Hee considers that the moment when she was unable to go against her mother's wish to marry her off to a wealthy businessman was her biggest failure. Her current unhappiness with her life drives her actions in supporting Jan Di and Jun Pyo, and also uses the story as a cautionary tale to Jun Pyo to drive him to make a decision regarding marrying Jae Kyung or being with Jan Di. | |

Fiction 500: The F4. Their parents are so incredibly wealthy that they can do (almost) whatever they want without any long term consequences and almost everybody fears them, including the school principal. And another most famous example: Jun Pyo's mother can make Jan Di's family business shut down not long after her attempt to bribe them ( so Jan Di would stop seeing her son, Jun Pyo), failed. | |

Arranged Marriage: Jun Pyo's engagement to Jae Kyung, which was the result of his mother giving much more importance to the family's business than gving some of it to her own children's lives. Jae Kyung eventually call it off, because Jun Pyo still felt love towards Jan Di. Jun Hee, Jun Pyo's older sister, went through the same thing with her actual husband (and she was against the marriage). | |

Romantic Runner-Up | |
| Boys Before Flowers / int_f2fe3a61 | comment |
Romantic Runner-Up: Oddly enough, Jan Di and Ji Hoo... to each other. Jan Di crushed hard on Ji Hoo as he continued to save her from bullies that came after her because of Jun Pyo, but he ends up leaving Jan Di to follow Seo Hyun out of the country. By the time Ji Hoo returns and realizes he also has feelings for Jan Di, Jan Di has already started to fall for Jun Pyo, and Ji Hoo realizes that it's too late for him to pursue a romantic relationship with her. He then opts to push Jun Pyo and Jan Di together, though there are occasional moments that indicate he regrets his choice. | |

The Dog Bites Back | |
| Boys Before Flowers / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: Reconstruction. Lee Jae Ha wasn't the dog that Jun Pyo kicked, his older brother was. However, he did feel the effects of F4's bullying as his brother is his only family member. His Revenge scheme is pretty much this trope: quiet previous victim tries to take vengeance on unsuspecting villain. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Boys Before Flowers / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Yi Jung is most confrontational (compared to his Boys over Flowers's counterpart) after Jun Pyo. He's normally softspoken and willing to go along with Jun Pyo's antics, but he doesn't hold himself back when he thinks Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo need some sense knocked into them. | |

Evil Is Petty: Madam Kang makes sure Jan Di's family falls into misery just because Jan Di is dating her son. There is a moment where Jan di's mom pours a bowl of salt on her, because she couldn't accept the bribe Kang offered them to keep Jan Di away from Jun Pyo... and Madam Kang's response was to force them out of business. | |
