    Meteor Garden, with 20 and 31 episodes , I have lost the will to live already with so many episodes! How can any drama has impact with so many episode, it is like imprisonmennt. When compared two lots of drama, the one that is about 10 episodes does it for me and anything near 20 is a killer! I started to watch Summer Scent a few months' ago and I am just on episode 13 out of 19 or is it 20! Gosh it is hard work after 10 episodes even though it is good drama.
    Any drama that is over 10 and getting towards 30 episodes will always loose impact and momentum except in few cases where the story line is extemely strong and varied.

    Linke many of you here, I like HYD more than Meteor Garden.

    I find Japanese dramas are often better quality overall, than Chinese dramas.

    I watched both but i think the Japanese version is better.

    But i hate all the male actors in both of them.

    I thought Meteor Garden was quite boring.
    Hana Yori Dango 1 & 2 rocks!

    havent seen Meteor Garden, but i find Hana Yori Dango 1+2 very very good ^^ and the Koreans have just premiered their own version yesterday.

    same here, i find Jdorama much better than Chinese dramas, sometimes on Chinese dramas with more episodes, i skip bits or do something at the same time as they get too boring but Jdorama 10-12 episodes is enough and thats good :D

    I can't comment on which one is better since I have not watch both. Anyone wants to direct me to where I can download the two parts? thanks in advance.

    I loved them both...there's a bit of difference but why not, most shows don't stick to the original and that's what makes them interesting.

    HYD rules, the reason is that it's short and to the point. only 20 episodes
    meteor garden has a total if like 60 episodes and it gets boring
