They're not sappy or angsty--- they're just plain boring and draggy and they try too hard! And the ACTING. GOD-AWFUL. The girls try and act cute, and the guys act cool all the time and it's just really gross. I tried so hard to give the Taiwanese Hana Kimi a chance because, bless its heart, I loved the Japanese one so much.

Coffee Prince and Princess Hours have the same lead girl. For me, it was such a shocker to see her in Coffee Prince where she plays such a boyish character because, like the title says, she was this kickass princess-by-marriage in Princess Hours. And she really grew as an actress.

I would say that both the Domyouji and Soujiroh equals in Boys Before Flowers emulate Chuck Bass, in 'tude. Their style is comparable, but they make less fashion faux pas.
