I first watched Boys Over Flowers. Although I fell in love with all of the characters in that kdrama, I was left with a bitter sweet taste. I felt like the story didn't make much sense and that there was a lot of tension and suffering for an ending that didn't really satisfy my expectations.

Because of that void that Boys Over Flowers left in me I started searching. That's how I found out about Meteor Garden. People were saying that if anyone felt the way I did after finishing Boys Over Flowers, that they should watch this cdrama. And I have to say it did not disapoint.

At first it was hard not to compare the two. I didn't like the changes in the characters, although I understood why they did them. I couldn't help but go back to my beloved characters from Boys Over Flowers. However, as the story progressed, I began to fall in love with these characters too, and I started seeing it as a different story.

If I had to compare the two, I'd choose Meteor Garden for sure. The storyline makes much more sense. It is exciting to watch, yet it doesn't make you constantly suffer for just a few seconds of happiness. You can really see how the main characters fall in love and you can actually enjoy their joy and love.

If you want a very complete and satisfying version of Hana Yori Dango, then this is the perfect one.
