I am not Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, Japanese, etc., so I write my opinion without bias.

I can endlessly talk about why I prefer boys over flowers than other versions but I will say briefly and specifically:
1) Let's start with the visuals, the most handsome and fascinating f4, I Kim Bam's smile is enougth than all the other versions of the cast taken together.
2) Soundtracks, becouse I'm not listener to the music of Asian countries in general, the most i like was bof's ost , some of the soundracks have their place with Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, The Beatles, Quinn and many others in my playlist.

3) Developing the story I like that we have information about all f4 characters and about their life, pain, everyone has their place and time , unlike other versions where everything turn around to 1 character.

4) Also Number of Series: Meteor Garden 2018 and also 2001 little tiring , 50+, 48 minute series is boring .
5) Kim Bam and Kim Soo's second-rate couple, amazing chemistry between them, the only version I watched not only for the main couple but also for the second couple.
6) Whoever writes here was not a friendship between F4, I do not know what you call friendship, so I will not continue the dispute, though the most honest relationship between them than all versions
7) Performance: The only actor who could be replaced is Jandi, others are good for me .
8) Boys over flowers is the version that best demonstrates that money, popularity, and appearance are not enough for happiness.
  To write here that this drama is bad is a bit of a shame when it is unanimously acknowledged as perhaps not the best of all, it is also a matter of taste, but one of the best dramas that has made history and made me and millions of people interested in Korean and Asian dramas in general, sorry. But "not so good" dramas can't do it :)
