【OST 原聲帶】Boys Over Flowers 花より男子／流星花園
Boys Over Flowers 花より男子 (or はなよりだんご Hana Yori Dango) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kamio Yōko 神尾葉子 which was serialised from 1992 until 2004. The second season of the manga series, Sunshine After Flowers – Flower Boys Next Season 花のち晴れ〜花男 Next Season〜, was serialised from 2015 until 2019.

Subsequently other TV and film adaptations were made by Japan (2005, 2007 & 2008), South Korea (2009), China (2018) and most recently Thailand (2021). There were also three unlicensed TV series adaptation from China (2009), India (2014) and Indonesia (2017).

In this post, I’m going to do a list of as much of the OST I could find from all of these adaptations…
