After Hana Yori Dango (original manga) got the 1st movie adaptation in Japan in 1995-- the 1st TV-adaptation by the Taiwanese "Meteor Garden" (2001) and its F4 apparently took over Asia and the concept of "flower boys fever" got started.

Shan Cai, whose parents are far from wealthy, attends Ying De University, the private school established exclusively for rich students. Besides being looked down by rich classmates, she has angered the leader of F4, Dao Ming Si. F4 comprises of Dao Ming Si, Hua Ze Lei, Xi Men, and Mei Zuo, who are the heirs to the four richest families. Their families are the founder of the school and nobody dares to cross them. Shan Cai isn't afraid to stand up to DMS, an act that nobody has done before, and sparks Dao Ming Si's interest in her. However, his constant torture of her has made her miserable while she falls in love with the gentle Hua Ze Lei, who comes to her rescue. Can Dao Ming Si win her love despite his cold and cruel exterior? What happens when his mother decides to use every trick there is to keep them apart? Can they adjust to each other's differences due to their vastly incompatible social status?

ML is an actor but not too popular anymore & broke so he rent a room in FL house.
FL is a nerdy geeky/otaku girl who like to imagine & day dreaming about romance with her favorite manga/comic book character. Remind me of Rainie Yang & Jiro Wang drama....& still 1 of my favorite drama....If you like this genre this is a must watch romance comedy drama....

They are similar because:
Both set in university
There's a love triangle between the female and male lead and one of the 2nd male leads
Both of them talk about growing up and being young
The male lead is a bit of a jerk and is arrogant
Rich boy/poor girl drama
4 male leads who are popular at th euniversity
The relationship btw the female and male lead is similar

Differences:
None of the male leads knew each other before becoming roommates in Hi Flower
There are more business/ company feuds in Hi Flower
The female lead is an orphan and struggles to support her and her brother's education.

- Same bossy and protective male lead
- Same start as enemies, wherein girl 'attacked' the male first
