The Original. The Best. The ONLY. Nothing is superior to this version. Nothing.

The Kdrama (Boys of Over Flowers), the TWdrama (Meteor Garden), the Dizilier (Waiting for the Sun or Gunesin Kizlari) are copies of this version of Hana Yori Dango.

Yes, one and all. This version was so famous all over Asia it made it's way to Turkey; ie the Dizilier. Japan did that. Not Korea. Therefore, the manga and this Jdorama is something to take into consideration. It has two parts and a movie. One of the greatest and most successful manga-anime to live action Japan has made.

I came here for Zhang Han. Find out why you came here...it might be for the pairings or for Zhang or out of boredom. But if you've loved HYD...you might like this one. Personally, I'm only loyal to HYD.

These 2 dramas are similar in that it features a modern person who time-travelled to the past. Both have the modern person acting as the wife of a prince and the princes only begin to look at their wives differently after the switch. Only difference is that Go Princess Go features a man in a woman's body and The Eternal Love has 2 souls residing in the female lead's body. Lots of modern references makes the story fun and does not take itself too seriously.

Both dramas feature an aloof prince whose heart is slowly softened by the female lead. Both Sheng Yi Lun (Go Princess Go) and Xing Zhao Lin (The Eternal Love) pull off their roles very well.

Two stories are somewhat similar when you look at the relationships between the characters.

- Both male leads are outstanding doctors with little experience of fighting at the beginning
- Both female leads are the best disciples of a sect responsible to protect the world.

Fighter of Destiny, because its more extended, has more character growth and more arcs, but the feeling is the same.

The Plot is similar main lady falls in love with a rich guy, she falls pregnant and hides it from the main guy. Only difference is she's married to guy to save her family, and her husband is gay.

There two dramas share very similar traits, such as; school based, a romance that starts badly but grows through out, sports and competition. I liked Sassy go go, however I felt like it was missing something that I definitely found in this TTBY. Also, attractive people in both (Just saying ;p).

The way CITT flows is very similar to that of Pinocchio. I feel it is more story based, gears more on the plot than the romance, where as CITT is more focused on the romance. But both dramas gave me a similar vibe. Not to mention both benefit from attractive main characters ;P

both are directed by Shunji Iwai so they have similar melancholy feel and aesthetic. main characters share some character traits and themes about loneliness and human connection.

Both are fantasy dramas and faith has Lee Min Ho :) You get to see time travel and it is a good story.

Both dramas are produced by KBS
Both dramas depicts the life and problems every high school students is facing

it's romance, drama movie, and the struggle of first love and all its obstacles

Spoiler: these 2 dramas have a similar ending both ends but the girl having two choices but the ending never said about what kind of choices they made.

Both movies have the same vibe. Although Han Gong Ju is filmed more darker, Dogami has the same 'based on reality'-topic. Both are 'watch one time only' movies and I found Dogani more difficult to watch. (still wanna cry)

the male lead character knows parts of the future and try to save the girl he will fall in love with.

both deal with the topic how to spend the last days of your life and with whom

Both are about a cop going to a college professor for help in investigations
