I prefer Mei-chan no Shitsuji (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Mei-chan_no_Shitsuji ) in terms of the 'poor girl goes to elite school' genre it's a lot more eccentric and the quality of the acting is better (plus it has a lot of familiar faces for me from my Sentai/Tokusatsu fandom such as Takeru Sato and the Takagi twins.)
I quite enjoyed the first series of Han Yori Dango, but series two was just way too overly melodramatic for me. I think that's where a lot of Japanese dramas fall flat - they get lost in annoying romantic bollocks and forget their original plot (Nobuta wo Produce was a particularly vivid example of this drama derailment.)
I've seen a couple of episodes of the Korean version, but I'm not particularly impressed with it. I prefer more action orientated dramas like 'Rescue' or older dramas which were a lot more comedy based like 'My Boss, My Hero.' (Japanese version.) or Super Sentai series like 'Engine Sentai Go Onger.' and 'Tomica Rescue Force.' or the Kamen Rider franchise (Kiva, Kabuto, Blade, Decade etc.)

I managed to endure 15 minutes of Episode 1. Sadly, my wrists met some razor blades before I could keep going.

It gives girls unrealistic expectations for males. The main characters are all rich, classy, tall and "pretty". Most men simply aren't. But I like Geum Jan Di's best friend. She's pretty.

At least in the Japanese one she was cute as hell, so more guys would actually watch it, but for the most part the Korean version is just fan service for korean girls. i dont like any version of the hana yori dango franchise, but hey, goo hye seon da bomb. She is ridiculously ugly. I hate the show even though I watch it, I hate her character, and I hate her face. i hate the show myself, but i really don't see how anyone could call her 'ridiculously ugly' compared to her?!
Have you ever watched the show...?
I think her face fits perfectly with her character. How hot do you expect a down-to-earth girl to be?
