Noona Over Flowers is a South Korean reality TV series that follows a group of four female actresses as they embark on a backpacking trip to Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. The show is produced by CJ Entertainment, one of South Korea's leading entertainment companies, and is a spin-off of the popular travel series Grandpas Over Flowers.

The four actresses, known in South Korea as "noonas" (a term that refers to older sisters), are Lee Mi-yeon, Yoon Yeo-jeong, Kim Ja-ok, and Kim Hee-ae. They range in age from their late 40s to early 60s and are considered some of the most talented and respected actresses in the Korean entertainment industry.

The show's format is similar to Grandpas Over Flowers, in which a group of elderly actors travels to foreign countries with minimal assistance and little knowledge of the local language and customs. However, Noona Over Flowers puts a new spin on the concept by featuring an all-female cast and highlighting the challenges that women face when traveling alone.

Throughout the show, the four actresses are shown navigating their way through unfamiliar cities and experiencing local cultures and traditions. They meet new people and try new foods, often overcoming language barriers and overcoming their own fears and insecurities along the way.

One of the main themes of the show is the bond between the four actresses, who support and encourage each other throughout their journey. They share stories of their personal and professional lives, revealing their vulnerabilities and strengths, and develop a deep sense of camaraderie that transcends their age differences and backgrounds.

Despite its lighthearted tone and comedic moments, Noona Over Flowers also touches on more serious topics, such as ageism, gender inequality, and cultural differences. The show presents an honest and realistic portrayal of the challenges that women face in society, particularly as they grow older and face increasing pressure to conform to traditional roles and expectations.

In addition to showcasing the four lead actresses, Noona Over Flowers also features a number of guest appearances from other Korean celebrities, including actors Lee Seung-gi, Yoo Hae-jin, and Baro, as well as singer IU. Each guest brings their own personality and dynamic to the show, adding a new dimension to the group dynamic and creating memorable moments for viewers.

Overall, Noona Over Flowers is a refreshing and entertaining addition to the travel reality TV genre. It combines comedy, drama, and insightful commentary on modern society, offering a unique perspective on what it means to be a woman traveling alone in today's world. The show's popularity has spawned several seasons and spin-offs, cementing its place as a beloved cultural phenomenon in South Korea and beyond.
