I'm watching the Mainland China drama version of Hana Yori Dango. (12.26 am on Thursday morning, not posting this immediately because of obvious timing issues with my last post [I knew I should put it off until I had something I was passionate about to post])
Oh, I'm pretty sure this is the only one I'm going to like.
For one thing, the viciousness has been toned down so unlike in every other version, the first episode of the show did not give me a subtle sense of creeping horrors.
For another, I wish I could capture for you the short section where the actor for the Domyouji/Gu Joon Pyo character is comparing the girl to a fly, mimicking it going in buzzing circles around your head, and then saying "It doesn't bite, but it annoys the bejesus out of you".
...maybe part of that was seeing a subtitle use the phrase "bejeezus". No, the comic repetition the gesture was pretty good, too...

To be more analytical, the opening of the show doesn't start off with the F4 idol gang formed as it's going to be--the fourth guy is new kid on campus just like the heroine is, and there's some fun fight scenes over it.
Also, shiny cars--though the Korean show had prettier ones.
I've realized in the last week or so that I actually really enjoy clean fight scenes--the kind where you know everyone's going to get over their bruises and maybe breaks eventually.
This really should have been obvious to me, but it wasn't.
