OK... being boring and grumpy as i usually am, i decided to write my own point of view on Hana Yori Dango VS Boys Over Flowers (japanXkorea)
to start i'll confess that i haven't watched the Taiwanese version and only read 'bout 2,5 books of manga. and i don't want to hurt anybodies feelings so don't take this way seriously.
now... I DON'T LIKE THE KOREAN VERSION!!! like srsl... i don't hate it, but for me it just feels wrong after my loyal fandom to HYD...
IMHO: the characters are old. and i don't think that they've captured the whole feel or emotions as japanese actors... first of all, i'm kinda discusted by the korean Tsukushi, she's waaaaay off for me (and old) and the korean Domyoji... i'm not the biggest Matsumoto fan, but i think he's like 1000000 times better looking than the korean one (even thou he's hair was a little mess in season 1). and Shun... i mean Hyun Joong is not bad, but he's not as good as Oguri ^_^
'nough said 'bout the characters, now the series themselves...
OK, as i said i don't hate BOF, but the whole thing just seemed boring to me and kinda fake... some episodes were good, but overall it definitely did not bring me the waves of emotions that HYD did... left me kinda cold and not eager to watch the second season.
i'm not sure if it's because i watched HYD first, but it definitely has my heart on it's side ^_^
