I watched Taiwan Meteor Garden Season 1 but never watched season 2. Never read it's manga so i don't really know how close Taiwan drama is following the manga. I watched the 1st episode of recently JDrama Hana Yori Dango and it rox!!

Rui - Oguri Shun > Zhou Zhe Ming.
And i guess all other actors in Jdrama also hav better acting skills than Taiwan version.

I just finished the 2nd jdama episode and its getting better. The taiwanese version was fairly accurate until the end and also it was set in university instead of high school like the manga.

The production for jdrama version also seems more polished and expensive. Everything looks great so far. The Jdrama version has lots of difference to the manga but thats to be expected since it gonna have to sqeeze the whole show in 10-11 episodes.

KY decided to go and read it's manga.
The first few minutes already beat the Meteor Garden.... wow limousine humvee ::(:

Altho i don't like the Arashi guy, i think his acting is still better than Taiwan F4. I can see his sadness/loneliness in his eye.

I have not read the manga or watched the Taiwanese version but I'm currently watching Hana Yori Dango and it's really good! I really like it =]

The storyline and characters are all so interesting.. I love it!

doinkies first got into HYD by watching the anime a long time ago before it got licensed. Then I read the manga (again, before it got licensed...now that it's licensed in doinkies' country, doinkies is collecting the official English tankies. But I also have the Japanese tankies.), and watched Meteor Garden and the now-forgotten 1993 Japanese live-action movie (and there's a good reason why it's forgotten, it's TERRIBLE). Then I watched this J-drama, and I think it's very good so far. Much better than the movie.

Oddly, doinkies has not gotten the HYD anime DVDs yet. doinkies must remedy this immediately, because doinkies recalls liking the anime.

Is there a taiwanese version of this too? Never knew.
Anyway, seen the first to eps of the jdrama, and I love it!! (mostly because of all the good looking actors :lol:)

Altho i don't like the Arashi guy, i think his acting is still better than Taiwan F4. I can see his sadness/loneliness in his eye.

Matsumoto Jun isn't there to act good, he's there so me and the japanese girls have something to stare at. :o
Seriously though, the acting is pretty bad, and that part at the beginning of the first ep where Jun (whatever he's name now is in the show)
Spoiler

TV drama ratings last week :

1. kikenna aneki (21.1%) [watching]
2. hana yori dango (19.3%) [watching]

3 & 4 : some obasan dorama

5. nobuta wo produce (17.0 %) [watching]

kind of suprising that hana yori dango isn't #1.
and where is "1 litter of tears" ??? ^_^

I watched the taiwanese version (called meteor garden) waayyy back before i started watching this one..just because it was so popular in my country back then..the F4 in the taiwanese even later became a boyband with the same name. U can check it out here at their Official Sony Music Site
From left to right, their role in the taiwanese version accordingly in hana yori dango's name:
Ken Zhu - Mimasaka Akira, Jerry Yan - Domyouji Tsukasa, Vic Zhou - Hanazawa Rui, Vanness Wu - Nishikado Soujiro
Im not sure about akira and soujiro..since they dont really have a particular personality..both are playboy..
All of my friend who watched the taiwanese version already just keep saying that those taiwanese lads just way look better than matsumoto jun and friends..hahaha, still its more enjoyable to watch jdorama..i gotta watch it til the end before makin a conclusion..but makino tsukushi in the japanese version is absolutely prettier than the taiwanese version's one here

Well, HYD definitely has MG beaten in the production value front. However MG had equal or better cast than the 3 main in HYD
Tsukasa - neither can act. Arguable which is better looking. HYD guy is slightly less wooden
Rui - neither can act either. But the MG guy is better at the introvert thing ... more "cool"
tsukushi - MG one is a slightly better actress and fits the character better. HYD one is uber-cute, but looks a little too soft

MG has Rainie Yang. who's my fave TW artist :lol:
But HYD has Nanako!!!!!!! So HYD wins XD
