The show "Boys Over Flowers" follows a group of high school students at the prestigious Shinhwa School. In season 1 episode 4, we see the continued struggle of Jan-di as she adapts to life at the school while dealing with the school's elite group, F4.
The episode starts with a flashback to Jan-di's younger days, where she is seen as a spunky and fearless girl who stands up to bullies. However, in the present time, Jan-di struggles to fit in with the wealthy students at her new school. She is constantly bullied by the F4, particularly Gu Jun-pyo, the group's leader.
In this episode, we see Jan-di and her friend Ga-eul at the school's swimming pool when they encounter the F4. Jan-di accidentally drops her phone into the pool, and Gu Jun-pyo, despite his initial reluctance, ends up retrieving it for her. Jan-di is surprised by his unexpected act of kindness and starts to question her assumptions about him. However, when she opens her phone, she realizes that all her contacts have been deleted. She confronts Jun-pyo about it, and he admits that he did it to mess with her.
The next day, Jan-di receives a package from Jun-pyo containing a new phone. But when she tries to return it, she is greeted by an elaborate prank that leaves her humiliated in front of the entire school.
Meanwhile, Jan-di's friend Ga-eul has a crush on a boy named So Yi-jung, one of the F4 members. She asks Jan-di to help her create a clay sculpture to impress him. Jan-di agrees, but when they present the sculpture to So Yi-jung, he is dismissive, leading Ga-eul to feel rejected.
In another plotline, Jan-di's younger brother gets in trouble with the law and Jan-di struggles to come up with the money to help him out. She turns to Jun-pyo for help, and he agrees to loan her the money, but not without a catch.
As the episode concludes, Jan-di is starting to see that there may be more to Gu Jun-pyo than meets the eye, but she is also beginning to realize that he may not be the only one with secrets. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Jan-di comes face-to-face with a mysterious girl who seems to know a lot about her past.
