I got to see Meteor Garden first before Hana Yori Dango. MG was very popular here in our country - everyone was talking about it. So when HYD was shown here, people were not that enthusiastic on watching this jdrama.
Well, i like both series. There are elements in MG that are better than HYD - and HYD also has something that's better than MG. Like Tsukasa's mother, I think she's looks a lot scarier in HYD than in MG. But i think HYD is a bit short - or the story seemed too fast. However, MG's season 2 was an overkill. But i definitely liked the ending of HYD more.
Anyway, i've heard that they're going to do a movie of HYD on 2008. i don't have much details on this yet - not sure if it's HYD compressed to a movie or a continuation of the story (probably the latter . . . i hope

)
hmmmm . . . something to look forward too
