Where do I start. Let's start by comparing it to boys over flowers. I had to be fair so I watched this first. The lead male role. Si vs Pyo. The edge goes to bof. Daoming Si was more violent to shancai. The violence against Jang di was inflicted by the students of the school who wanted to be on the good side of F4. What was really violent was when Si hit Shancai with the box of food that she delivered to him. That was really bad. When Jing du got attacked by the whole school she was mad and made a comment of wasted ingredients which was funny. Edge goes to Pyo for not attaching Jang di directly. Now the female lead. The actress that played Shancai was much too beautiful almost goddess like. Even when she made the dumb and stupid facial expressions she still look too sexy. Whereas the actrress who played Jang di really looked and acted like a commoner. The funnies part was when she was eating just like a commoner and ran off with the pot of rice and locked herself in her room. The edge goes to bof. The male leads Si vs Pyo. They were both about the same except that Pyo never hit Jang Di while Si did hit shancai with the food. Edge Bof. The supporting cast F4 from MG was just really a group of kids that pretended to be tough whereas the F4 from bof was the real deal. Edge bof. The famous kick in both series. The flying side kick with the running start is much easier to do than the jump spinning back kick from a standing postiion, plus Jang Di did the same kick but even higher and also did a side kick holding it in place. Edge bof. The family This is where bof really separates themselves form MG. Shancais famlly is too refined more like uppper middle class as they were able to pay for her tuition whereas Jang Di's parents where really gold diggers which added some comedy to it. Edge bof. The best friends of the female characters edge equal they are both beautiful. The einding edge MG they actually had a wedding which bof didn't I don't think that the actress at the time was underage so no excuse there. The ending Edge goes to MG, They showed Si's mother at the end trying to cook whereas the bof ending didn't show either sets of parents. This was very close to call but the overall edge goes to bof. Why? MG should have been done in 30 episodes at most. This was stretched too long and I was about to give up. I made it to the end but it was a struggle.
