Boys over Flowers

꽃보다 남자 ‧ Drama ‧ 2009
Similar themes. Wealthy high schoolers and one poor girl. Bullying happens. Love triangle.
Recommended by mesuzuITA
they both have that popular rich boy group vibe
the poor helpless girl (that is always strong)
if I am being honest this is the Chinese version of the Korean show and the Korean version of the Chinese show (just saying)

Want to know where such a cute story came from? Hana Yori Dango is the original live action adaptation of the manga written by Kamio Yoko. It may be slightly older, but this Japanese predecessor has everything you loved about the Korean version, mixed in with it's own charm.

Both dramas have the same silly, sweet and funny feel with a charming female lead.
Also, Kim Hyun Joong (Yoon Ji Hoo in Boys Over Flowers) is the male lead in Playful Kiss. His character (Baek Seung Jo) is different yet somehow still similar to Yoon Ji Hoo. So, if you liked him in Boys Over Flowers, you'll probably like him in Playful Kiss as well!

This has the whole reverse harem thing going for it. Plus, I think a lot of the cute scenes were homages to Boys Over Flowers. This drama gave me Second and Third Lead syndrome! But in the end I truly believed in the OTP.

Let's watch Meteor shower is the chinese version of Boys over flowers/ Hana Yori Dango!!!
This version has some differences, not too big!
The cast is also very interesting, believe me, of course it does not compare to the Korean F4, but are not far behind .....
To be honest, Let's watch the meteor shower is the second version I like the most that comes from the anime and manga!! The first is Boys over flowers!!
Look, it's worth \(*o*)/
