Makino Tsukushi is the only poor student at Eitoku Gakuen, the
school of the ridiculously rich and privileged that is ruled by Flower
4 or 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 gets the dreaded red notice. Even
though she is harassed, Makino decides to keep going to school because
she is a “tough weed”. She declares war right back on the F4. Her
resolve gets the attention of her crush Hanazawa Rui and oddly enough,
rouses romantic feelings in her worst enemy, Domyoji Tsukasa.

Story: I really felt that the story was nothing special. It was a cute storyline, and I did enjoy what was going on, but it felt standard. It seemed to me like a classic boy-meets-girl type story, and there wasn't really an interesting twist to it. So, it got an eight in my books. Not bad, but not awesome.
Acting: I felt the actors were pretty good at their parts--some were better than others. The casting was pretty good, and I was content with everything.
Music: I liked some of the songs in this, but I felt that they played the same one too many times. In fact, one song was used in almost every episode, and I began to get tired of hearing it in every situation. But that's just me...
Satisfaction: I did enjoy this drama, and it was pretty cute. I've seen both seasons, and I can say that I was happy with it. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes romantic comedies. I've heard that people who like Hana Kimi will like Hana Yori Dango, but I personally don't see the connection between the two.
Bunch of pretty boys being bad until they come across the girl that would change everything. Heard it before? Probably.
Acting:
The guys did a great job modeling, but acting wise they were all average.
Music:
Well done. I love the Otsuka Ai's song, "Planetarium"
Overall:
Meh. I don't why everyone loves this drama.
