Sisters Over Flowers (Hangul: 꽃보다 누나; RR: Ggotboda Nuna) is a South Korean travel-reality show that aired on tvN from November 29, 2013 to January 17, 2014 for 8 episodes.
It starred Youn Yuh-jung, Kim Ja-ok, Kim Hee-ae, Lee Mi-yeon and Lee Seung-gi as they go on a 10-day backpacking trip through Istanbul, Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik.
The show is a spin-off of Grandpas Over Flowers, but unlike its predecessor which starred veteran actors in their seventies, PD Na Young-seok cast middle-aged actresses of a wider age range, with 42-year-old Lee Mi-yeon, 46-year-old Kim Hee-ae, 62-year-old Kim Ja-ok, and 66-year-old Youn Yuh-jung. All four women had never appeared on variety/reality shows before, but Na said he was "looking for actresses who were transcendent personalities" and "who were wise, experienced and had great life stories to tell."
He then cast 27-year-old singer-actor Lee Seung-gi to be the actresses' companion and "luggage boy," though Lee himself later admitted he had difficulty in his duties as a tour guide. Lee had previously worked with PD Na and his crew on another hit reality show, 2 Days & 1 Night.
