Vanity polling - MG or HYD?

[fivil]

I decided I'd have to watch one of the drama versions for the manga Hana Yori Dango as both versions seem so friggin' popular- call it my duty as a dorama fan, or just out of extreme curiosity to know some version of this story. I thought I'd post a poll in my LJ but then I figured, wider audience, why not here

Heh, you don't watch the angsty dramas so you don't even know how bad evil parents can be. Even Hanadan Mom is small fry :) The Evil Dad in 'Something Happened in Bali' (I have no qualms about spoiling it for you as you will never watch) literally bludgeons his grown-up son unconscious with a golf club because the son doesn't want to marry the arranged fiancee because he is in love with someone else. And then as the guy is lying there bleeding on the floor tells him that if he doesn't do what Dad wants, he is going to 'take care' of his girlfriend. (The guy ends up marrying arranged girl, of course, and a lot of angst, weeping and ultimately murders and suicide follow).

Or the evil 'I brought you up' lady in Handsome Siblings have basically spent her free time delighting in torturing her 'son' including attempting to kill his wife in the most painful fashion ever so he'd suffer, and also sticking him in a cage. Not to mention she brought him up so when he grows up he would be made to kill his brother.

Shin is darn lucky, in drama terms :)

Mind-boggling. Suddenly every family I know feels a lot more functional. :P
