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. :)

I've only read the manga Akuma de Sourou and yea it's pretty good. It's much better than Marmalade Boy! No offense, but I find Wataru Yoshizumi (I forgot how to spell her name) a mangaka who doesn't really break boundaries when it comes to mangas. Marmalade Boy was probably the only one that I REALLY like by her, since the rest are kind of... blah... AUGH don't even get me started with Ultra Maniac... That was horrible. </end rant> Yay for Marmalade Boy. :]

Although, The Devil Does Exist seems much better, except that the main characters aren't truly related.
Marmalade Boy is too happy-go-lucky, like there's no angst in it or anything. The characters seem like they live perfect lives and then the whole family thing happens. That's about it.
Whereas, The Devil Does Exist is more more touching becuase its characters has flaws and it's much more..dramatic. :P And more interesting. :D

OMG so I'm watching Hana Kimi. Only up to episode 11 has been subbed. And I don't really want to turn to Youtube since the quality's so bad, sometimes I can't even read the subtitles. That's youtube for ya.

Augh I hope they continue the series because I heard that..

SPOILER:
Sano never tells Mizuki that she's a girl! It's like, a total cliffhanger! Kinda like Hana Yori Dango or Ouran (anime). BOO.

I hope that Woo Chun and Ella make a Hana Kimi 2. There's like, twice as many volumes as there are episodes.

Nakatsu <3333 Jiro Wang (I belive that's his name) is an awesome actor! Although at times he makes Nakatsu look really ditsy, he's still the best actor in Hana Kimi, lol!
