Okay, so the movie is kinda weird. Why? Well, a 15 year old HS girls marries a college boy.. well, a graduating college boy. Normal? Well, yeah.. normal.. but well, the story is kinda cute. Its just like playing a game of love and marriage but in the end, both found their selves really in love with each other.

What can you expect? A 15 year old girl who should be enjoying her life as a teenager is wed to a college boy, who eventually became her temporary art teacher. Of course, in the story, Boun loves another guy, a HS freshman like her. She lies to everybody and hurt the feelings of Sangmin. But on the other hand, Sangmin still loves Boun, even helped her with her "all-alone" painting project. Anyway, the movie in someway is moving because the story shows the value of love. On the other hand it really is funny especially on the scene where Boun strikes Sangmin's head with a pencil. Well, 3 stars for this movie.

Okay so there is the Meteor Garden Taiwanese drama and the Hana Yori Dango (which is originally an Manga) the Japanese drama. Well I f I'd choose which is better let me dig deeper on the details:

1. Artists
Okay.. so MG has "macho" men (except for Vic Zhou who isn't that macho but has this aura of coolness which makes him macho too). While on the other hand HYD has men or boys who are alot skinnier but has this charisma too. Both F4 groups are popular in their own countries. But the weird thing is, in the opening scenes of both dramas, MG really wowed viewers with their charm. I gues girls were drooling while watching them walk. As for the HYD guys, at first it was a bit awkward. The scene, their opening scene... well, they all looked too gay. Correct me if Im wrong but yeah, they looked gay to me... maybe because of the makeup. Shocking! Okay, lets move on.

2. Domyouji Tsukasa's riches vs Dao Ming Si's riches
Okay so now, the battle of the riches. Well, I'd say, i like Domyouji's house better if it comes to making it look like they are really rich or something. His house was like a freakin' haunted castle with a dining hall like the ones we see in the Harry Potter movie. Well, to give credit to Dao's house. Its clean and homey. But for the battle of the riches, I'd give it to Domyouji.

Then come the jet/aircraft availability. Well, Id still give it to Domyouji. Gee! they have their own airport for crying out loud. And Dao can only afford first class tickets on an airplane. Hehehe. In the battle for the number of body guards, well, I dunno. hehehe. They have too many body guards, so why would I bother to count.

3. The girls
okay so they are both cute and cool. They both posses this "alpha female" thing. But I think San Cai cried too many times rather than Makino. Correct?

4. The moms
Both moms are really scary. Hahaha. If I'd have a mother-in-law like their mothers, I'd rather die. hahahahahah.

5. The overall production and stuff
Well, I both liked them, but Meteor garden, I really don't like. If I'd give Meteor Garden a rating, I'd rate it 4 stars while Hana Yori is up a notch by .5 which makes it 4.5 stars, hehehe. Anyway, if you're asking why I picked Hana Yori, well, regardless of the gay-ish look entrance, the story is lighter and way more comical. It was funny. It was not too mature rather than Meteor Garde. 'Coz in Meteor Garden there are so many things going on. Well, maybe that's a good point. The viewers would have so many things to think about. So the intensity of the show grows as the viewers are slowly glued on the series. Well, it didn't work for me. Hehe. Sorry Meteor Garden/F4 fans. Hey, but I really like Vic Zhou. hehehe. Vic ZHou vs. Hanazawa Rui, Id choose Vic Zhou. =) Dao Ming SI vs Domyouji Tsukasa, Domyouji (yey for Jun!).

And to end it all, really hate the idea of having 3d helicopters on Meteor Garden's graduation event... with all the flowers (rose petals) flying. I also hate Domyouji's way of punching people. weird. But well, I think they both portrayed a good picture of love and protecting your love. Of being an adult and facing responsibilities. Its up to you to decide.

My verdict: Hana Yori wins by .5

Okay. SO its not a movie. It is a j-dorama. Anyway, I really like this one. It can be compared to coffee prince since both series show women portraying as men but of course with different reasons. But for me, in my opinion, no Coffe Prince lovers to attack me please, I like Hana Kimi better. Sorry CP fans. Why? 'coz the story is lighter, its just about school and stuff, but these students act maturely as possible. its like a feel good movie and at the same time a kinda tear-jerker for me. Well maybe its because im so into the story so at the end of the series i found myself really sad. hope there'll be a part 2!
