Supporting cast
Han Chae-young shows her modeling skills
While the F4 is a newcomer, the drama has a lot of big-name celebrities backing it up. Han Chae-young, who is familiar to Chinese viewers for her role in "The Magnificent Spring Fragrance," has done very little filming since she got married, and although she had a small role in the drama, she gained recognition from netizens for her wonderful performance.
Because Han Chae-young's role in the drama is as an international model, she has been the spokesperson for many fashion brands, and with her outstanding appearance and noble temperament, she has perfectly shown the extraordinary "Jing" in the drama, full of mature charm, and was unanimously praised by the audience as the "best actress" in the drama. She is known as "goddess" by the audience.
Kim Hyun-joo's "turnaround" has become savage
The "savage" sister of the male protagonist, Domyoji, has left a deep impression on many viewers, and in the Japanese version of the drama, the role is played by famous actress Nanako Matsushima, who, despite her good acting skills, has always had a gentle demeanor that has always impressed the people. In the Japanese version, the character was played by the famous actress Nakako Matsushima, but despite her good acting skills, she was never able to show the spicy side of her already gentle temperament. In the Korean version of the movie, the actress Kim Hyun-ju, who has appeared in many movies and TV dramas such as "Tiger" and "Glass Slipper," has been invited to play the role in order to break through.
The producers said, "Kim Hyun-joo herself is a beauty loved by people of all ages, and she can play everything from romantic dramas to costume dramas." This is the first time that Kim Hyun-joo, who has played a bitter woman many times, breaks out of her image, and in the drama she moves to beat up her younger brother, Do Myung-sa, saying with a smile, "This time I can finally bully someone."
Besides, other supporting characters are also quite eye-catching, for example, Kim So-eun, who plays the heroine's best friend, has starred in many movies and TV dramas, Lee Min-jeong, the hero's "fiancée," looks like Kim Tae-hee, and even the "evil trio" that specializes in bullying Sugina, is made up of mixed-race beauties. Even the "trio of evil women" who specialize in bullying Sugai are played by mixed-race beauties, and these actors add to the drama's conversation while their own popularity has skyrocketed overnight. ○Written by Cao Xiaoqian in this edition

"Flowery Men" "Battle of the Three Kingdoms"
Since China, Japan and South Korea have all filmed "Flowery Men" (the Taiwan version was renamed "Popular Gardens"), enthusiastic viewers around the world have inevitably compared the three, with rather amusing results.
Characterization Korean version most similar
After the cast of the Korean version of "Flowery Man" was finalized, many viewers said that the Korean cast portrayed the most similar to the original. Even the original manga author, Kamio Yoko, marveled at this.
In terms of the visual aesthetics of the male leads, the Korean version is the one that seems to fit the original image the best. Although all three countries have sent handsome men as representatives, but from the Daomingji actor's height, South Korea's Lee Min-ho is 186 centimeters, the most in line with the original 185 centimeters of height requirements, Taiwan's Yan Chengxu is 180 centimeters, while Japan's Matsumoto Jun only 173 centimeters.
When it comes to the rating of heroine Sugina, South Korea's Goh Hye-sun, Taiwan's Hsu Hee-won and Japan's Mao Inoue are all comparable. But the Korean version of the characterization of the original "Weed Sugina" was disappointing, with netizens saying, "With a father who owns a laundromat, Sugina's life isn't very hard, which doesn't match the original."
Storyline: Chinese version most faithful to original
Just from the storyline point of view, the China-Taiwan version, which first appeared in 2001, is undoubtedly the most faithful to the original. Although "Meteor Garden" (Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese) is different from the original and the other two versions in that it is set in a university rather than a high school, the storyline is the closest to the original. Some viewers believe that the change in setting is beneficial to the plot, which is one of the reasons why the Taiwan version is the most laugh-out-loud funny.
The Japanese version of the storyline is similar to the original, but in the sequel and the movie "The Final Chapter of Man of Style," a lot of things were added that were not in the original, giving fans a lot of surprises and things to see.
The Korean version, though faithful to the original in terms of framework, also added a number of new characters and storylines to the show, such as the reason why the heroine is able to go to a noble high school is because she's good at swimming and saves the hero from falling into the water. Of course, being a brand new release, it was necessary to revise the plot for the Korean version.
Visual effects Japanese version is the most luxurious
"Man of Style" has a lot of luxurious scenes in the drama as the male characters are from rich and powerful families, and it seems that the audience is looking forward to see how many luxurious scenes there are in the drama. It is reported that the Japanese version is the one that has put the most effort in visual effects. In the first episode, the scene of students traveling to school in a limousine and the home of Daomingji dazzled viewers. On the other hand, the Taiwanese and Korean versions obviously did not give fans the satisfaction of visual effects. The Korean version, except for the helicopter ride to school in the first episode, had very few scenes that could catch the viewers' eyes, and its sense of luxury was not even comparable to that of an average Korean drama.
In addition, the Korean version was criticized for its lack of extras and poor visual design. Viewers said, "The first time F4 appeared in a high school, students stood only sparsely in the Korean version, while in the Japanese version they stood all over the place, nicely portraying F4's superiority and presence."
