Meninos Antes de Flores (2005)

19-year-old beautiful Shiratori Reiko is a self-professed ultimate princess. Despite her haughty attitude, she is actually a very late bloomer and knows nothing of the real world. Reiko has had feelings for Akimoto Tetsuya since childhood, but her enormous pride always gets in the way, and she cannot tell him in all honesty that she is in love with him.

Tetsuya soon becomes a university student, and Reiko follows him to Tokyo. But he is constantly at the mercy of her overly unique sensibilities. Then Tetsuya’s ex-girlfriend, a cute high school girl, the wealthy Yoshimoto Ryunosuke, who has fallen in love at first sight with Reiko and Reiko’s rival, Kakitsubata Ayame, appears before the two of them.

Hana Yori Dango is the prequel of Hana Nochi Hare. Both stories are set at Eitoku Academy, an elite private school for rich students. Hana Yori Dango has the F4 and Hana Nochi Hare the C5, whose leader idolizes the leader of the F4 Domyoji.

Similar themes of how wealth affects a relationship except the roles are partly swapped. In BBF the male character is misunderstood while in HMS the girl is. HMS portrays a unique pairing with an extremely nerdy Lin Da Lung and becomes far more of a comedy. Also, HMS focuses only on the main couples interactions.

ML is an actor but not too popular anymore & broke so he rent a room in FL house.
FL is a nerdy geeky/otaku girl who like to imagine & day dreaming about romance with her favorite manga/comic book character. Remind me of Rainie Yang & Jiro Wang drama....& still 1 of my favorite drama....If you like this genre this is a must watch romance comedy drama....

Classic drama about a school bully who falls in love with an innocent girl. Both dramas are old and full of emotions.

Similarities:
- Main leads: a rich spoiled guy and a poor hard-working girl
- Their relation changes through story: from enemies to lovers
- Guy is spoiled but he changes and becomes a better person because of the girl
- Girl is kind, helpful and tough, she doesn't give up easly

both dramas feature strong female lead and mean male lead
both dramas take place in an elite school
sassy go go less cliché

They start off very similar with the popular rich lazy playboy bullying the new transfer student who is not having it!! HA!! And now completed, this is most certainly Boys Over Flowers!! HA!!

Both dramas are about a poor girl who becomes involved with four guys who are a package group. She becomes close to each of them and develops a romantic relationship with the most difficult one of the four who she clashes with at first.

The heroine transfers to prodigious school and unknowingly gained the attention of various students around her because of her circumstances, and as a result gets bullied. Both heroines also try to give a strong front toward the bullying she receives, while receiving emotional support from love interests..

School bullying is the central theme, with the male lead being popular. The bullied heroine will now catch the attention of the apparent rival who was initially close to the male lead, because of the heroine's circumstances that caught the male lead's attention.

Both are about leading characters being students who enter highschool of the elites. Both are based on famous manga.

Makino Tsukushi is the only poor student at Eitoku Gakuen, a school for the ridiculously rich and privileged. Eitoku Gakuen is ruled by the Flower 4, or otherwise known as the F4, a group of four boys who come from extremely powerful families: Domyoji Tsukasa, the leader and heir of the Domyoji World Finance Group; Hanazawa Rui, the introverted son of a large company; Nishikado Sojiro, a player who is the heir of a tea ceremony school; and Mimasaka Akira, a madam killer with ties to the underground. If a student gets on the F4's bad side, he/she gets a red notice and is bullied and driven out of school.
Makino hopes to pass her days quietly - without drawing any attention to herself - but one day, she stands up to Domyoji in defense of her friend. The next day, Makino receives the dreaded red notice. Even though she is harassed, Makino decides to keep going to school and declares war right back on the F4, because she is a "tough weed." Her resolve gets the attention of her crush, Hanazawa Rui, and oddly enough, rouses romantic feelings in her worst enemy, Domyoji Tsukasa.

both dramas revolve around a rich boy and poor girl scenario set in high school and are light fluffy dramas

one ordinary girl surrounded with 4 good-looking guys. Haven. Haha. Both originally are from manga and with anime versions. You'll surely enjoy both.
