꽃보다 남자 Rugby in Boys over Flowers (Kkot-boda Namja), the most popular drama in Korea?




Recently, the most popular drama these days, Boys over Flowers (Kkot-boda Namja, 꽃보다 남자), helped to bring viewers back to watching dramas- over 30 % of all Korean households watching the drama. Its original work is Japanese manga (cartoon), and due to its popularity, it has been adapted into TV series by Taiwan, Japan, and most recently Korea.

In the drama, one of the main characters plays rugby as a part of "aristocratic" lessons to be a successor of a conglomerate (chaebol). Since the drama leads the latest fashion and trend in Korea, his rugby shirt was completely sold out soon after one of the 4 flowers (F4) wore on the drama.

Let's see if the drama fans will actually get into Rugby rather than his T-shirt.
