Manga -->Dramas?, :) Your opinion. Options

[Lycidas]

Nowadays, there are plenty of Taiwanese dramas that are based off of shojo manga. I love it! Some people don't like it though. :[ So what's your opinion?

I've watched plentyy of them. Mmmm I've seen:
- Meteor Garden (it's a classic) which was based off of Hana Yori Dango.
- MARS (mmhmm <3)
- Devil Beside You which was based off of Akuma de Sourou (Devil Does Exist).
- Peach Girl
- It Started With A Kiss which was based off of Itazura no Kiss.

There's also Marmalade Boy but I actually haven't watched that yet.

That's all that I can think of now :D Those are basically the popular ones.

There is going to be t-drama based off of Hana Kimi (which is starring Wu Zuo, Jiro Wang, Jj Lin and Ella from S.H.E!! not that you'd care of anything...heh.) and it should be coming out late October, but that's just a rumor. But yeah, it should be coming out soon! =)

They also have Tokyo Juliet out now. :D

So have you watched them? Do you like them? Yay for mangas and t-dramas!

Edit://Ah, sorry. I only focused on t-dramas! You guys can mention other dramas as well. :)

what's the hana kimi drama's name? Is it a different title, since it is a t-drama?

Hmm.. Meteor Garden was okay. It was nice that it followed the storyline, but I didn't feel like Barbie Hsu captured Makino that well. I heard her acting was better in Mars. After 20 episodes or so, I quit watching Meteor Garden. It was just a waste of my time. I ONLY watched it because I liked the guy who acted as Dao Ming Si (Domyouji). :P He's HOOOOTTT

I heard Devil Beside You was pretty good. I've only seen clips of it and it looks pretty interesting. :P

Mars.. I've only seen an episode and I've only read 1 volume of mars, so I really honestly can't compare. But it looks pretty good. Barbie Hsu acts much better in here. Although, The main guy also acts as Hanazawa Rui in Meteor Garden, and I think he looks cuter in Meteor Garden. :P Mars definitely has potential to be good, and other people have told me that it is better than Meteor Garden. Maybe I'll finish it something after I finish the manga lol.

Princess Hours (Goong) is based off of a manhwa and it's pretty good! You gotta admit, the character portrayals are reallly good and the Koreans are good at making you cry. Yay for K-Dramas!

Full House (k-drama) was also based off of a manhwa and I would have to say that THAT drama is pretty good as well! Although, some parts did confuse me. But then again, I watched it in Vietnamese :P You know translations get lost in there...

Hana Yori Dango (JDrama) is really good as well! All the actors and actresses were really into it. It's better than Meteor Garden, but with fewer episodes. :P

Kimi wa Petto... It's pretty good based on the first two episodes I've seen. But once again, I haven't read the manga yet. I need to!

Nana - Okay, I KNOW it was a MOVIE, but it was an AWESOME movie! I just had to mention it!
