To be fair I first watched Meteor Garden. Then after I watched this drama. The fans of MG kept saying that this was more violent. I totally disagree. The violence was just the same amount. The violence here though was carried out by the rest of the school in order to be looked upon favorably by F4. Whereas in MG the male lead directed his violence at the female lead. Also Jang di is much more convincing and looks the part of a poor person much more than Shancai. The family of Jang Di is also more convincing as poor gold diggers. The way Jang di acts especially at the beginning when she runs with the pot of rice into her room and locks herself in to eat it all is just hilarious. This is just part of the series. This is a must watch for anyone who saw Meteor Garden as this was a bit better and funnier and more convincing.
