(second from right)

Korean Series : BOYS OVER FLOWERS

Synopsis :
A second years high school, Geum Jan-di, becomes admitted to a rich, prestigious school known as Shinhwa. The school is filled with rich people who can afford to go there. She becomes admitted after saving a student from committing suicide. At the school, she meets people with various personalities. There are the mean girls, fake friends, and last but not least: The F4. The F4 consists of 4 people: Goo Jun Pyo, Yoon Ji Hoo, So Yi Jung, and Song Woo Bin. Goo Jun Pyo is the leader of the F4 and is also the heir of the Shinhwa group. At first, he insults and makes Geum Jan-di's life miserable after she humiliates him. The only person who seemed to have sympathy for her was Ji Hoo, who saved her numerous times. However, as the drama progressed, Goo Jun Pyo developed feelings for Geum Jan-di. It turned out to be a twisted love triangle between Geum Jan Di, Goo Jun Pyo and Yoon Ji Hoo.

Relationships :

Ji Hoo and Jan Di
When Jan Di was being bullied after receiving the red card, Ji Hoo was the only one who offered her consolation. Such generosity made Jan Di seem to develop feelings for the soft-spoken Ji Hoo. However, his first love was Seo Hyeon, a lawyer and a model. He even followed her to Paris, as So Hyeon went back to Paris. While he was gone, Jun Pyo took action on Jan Di and she ended up liking him too. But when Ji Hoo came back, Jan Di was in a state of confusion, not knowing who she really likes. Eventually, Jan Di comes to an understanding of her feelings and chooses Ji Hoo. At New Caledonia, Ji Hoo comes somewhat begins to like Jan Di and this develops throughout the TV series.
For his friendship with Jun Pyo and knowing that Jan Di actually like Jun Pyo, he leaves Jan Di. We can see that whenever Jan Di is going through hard times, struggling or is depressed, Ji Hoo is always there for her, not wanting her in grief. In addition, he gives lots of advice when she has problems with Jun Pyo and encourages their love, as his definition for love, is making that person happy. According to Jan Di, Ji Hoo is her "firefighter" and "lifeguard". This plays a role as Ji Hoo always knows where Jan Di is somehow and puts the "fire" out in her heart or "guards" her from any physical and emotional danger there might be. Ji hoo never really tells his feelings directly to Jan Di - the first time he attempted at this, Jan Di fell asleep and the second time, he hinted that he liked her however she did not hear. The third time, he confessed to her by giving her a family heirloom i.e. a ring which was his mother's, however Jan Di rejected him. She stated that no matter how much she tried, she was not able to forget Gu Jun Pyo. Ji Hoo accepted the reality of not having Jan Di as his girl, but he is always there for Jan Di when he hears the alarm (a signal that he feels when Jan Di needs him). Ji Hoo stayed with Jan Di until the end and will always protect her. Their relationship is akin to a pair of siblings.
