Boys Over Flowers (1995) primarily examines class conflict and disruptions to social hierarchies. While it offers a moderate challenge to traditional gender roles through its female protagonist, the overall narrative remains centered on conventional romantic relationships. The story's setting is predominantly homogeneous, focusing on internal class divisions rather than ethnic or racial diversity. Additionally, there is no representation of physical or neurodivergent disabilities. The work provides a critique of elite institutions and wealth but lacks significant LGBTQ+ or disability representation.
