Well, I first saw the Taiwanese version of Meteor Garden. And it was a huge hit in here. It was so cool.

Then there was the Japanese version…same plot but I wasn’t that impressed.

I didn't think I would like this series as much as I did, but I do and I recommend it. The acting is much better than Meteor Garden (in my honest opinion), and I think as a whole, the series is more engaging than the earlier version.

And I think Jun Matsumoto was very nuanced in portraying Tsukasa - in fact, the casting director deserves major props because I thought every single actor and actress hit it out of the ballpark each and every time.

hahaha i never watched a jap drama i think i should watch one

what is a fun jap drama?

well, i'll be honest. Its not that i hate any of the actor for this drama but honestly i don't like it. i think it is too sarcastic. I'm talking about Domyouji, i don't like him here but i do love him outside this drama..get what i mean.

I love Hana Yori Dango. It's short and sweet, and the acting is alot better than Meteor Garden, which I thought was plain cheesy.

I really want to watch this^^
I am late on these things...
Hope it's as good as it's reviews.

i've just watched the japan series yesterday, but the taiwan series since i was in secondary school. i kinda like japan series better.. especially matsumoto jun. good work!

ps:i looVe domyoji tsukasa soo much!! hehe. =)

loved this drama! it's funny how arrogant domyouji is but at the same time, he's also sweet. matsujun was great! and the rest of the cast too^^

the story is better than Taiwan version but honestly, the taiwan actor are more suit to the roles..they have that rich, arrogant and idol look..its just my thought..no offence.

I really loved this drama. I haven't seen Meteor Garden yet, but I would definitely watch this one again.
