Fifteen-year-old Sei Saotome is the type of person who tends to fail at the most crucial times. After nearly becoming a high school drop-out, she enrolls into a school that is overambitious for her. There she meets the bold and popular Taiyou Udagawa; and the dreamy and stars obsessed, Mizuki Ootaka. After being asked by Mizuki to join the two guys in the Astronomy Club, it turns out high school life isn't as bad as she had expected.

Ok, these are pretty differents (not the same emotions, not as moving) BUT it's a story of a selfish rich boy and a nice poor girl who finally fell in love

If you are finding some Kdramas with that second male lead syndrome then both of these dramas are made for you. Those two 2nd lead are caring, always there when she needs, a sweet-hearted guy but female leads didn't choose them in the end... =(

If you like F4 Thailand, you will enjoy the Korean version as well. It is essentially the same, but I believe there is more violence in this drama. However, the actors are excellent as well as the acting, and Lee Min Ho plays the main lead.

I think the behavior of the main characters and some scenes are similiar sometimes... And even the plot in some sort (popular guy fell in love with the less popular girl).

Both begin with the FL transferring to a new school and ending up clashing with the school bully/popular guy who slowly begins to fall for her. Both have a love triangle between the leads and the ML's best friend.

The unpopular girl at school grabs the attention of the popular boy at school.
Though different plots, its a similar look at how one is seem inferior in the relationship.

Geum Jan Di comes from a poor family who owns a dry-cleaning shop. One day, she visits Shinhwa High School, a prestigious school for the wealthy, and saves a student trying to commit suicide because of bullying. For her heroic act, Jan Di receives a swimming scholarship and starts attending the school.

In Shinhwa High, she meets the notorious F4, the most popular and powerful group of boys at the school, consisting of Gu Jun Pyo; the leader of F4 and heir to the Shinhwa Group, Yoon Ji Hu; the grandson of a former president of Korea, So Yi Jung; a skilled potter who comes from a family that owns the country's biggest art museum, and Song Woo Bin; whose family runs the country's largest construction company.

Her life at school starts out miserable, as she doesn't fit in with other students because of her status, and later becomes worse when she is labeled as the new bullying target of the F4.

If you like modern day Cinderella stories or Rich guy and poor girl type of conflicts, then these 2 dramas will be a good watch.

The male leads also in both series displayed a great transformation in their characters when they finally met their first love. They both have went through a tremendous length to protect the woman they love and solve hindrances brought about by the differences in social status with the woman they love.

They are similar because:
Similar theme: Both set in school/university + flower boy concept
There's a love triangle between the female and male lead and one of the 2nd male leads
4 male leads who are popular in the school/university
The male lead hates the female lead and there is some bullying and then they fall in love
Rich boy poor girl type of drama

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