Hana Yori Dango is my first watching live action of anime. I watched the anime version and love so much how this version came about and that it adds more to the story itself, I love that they stay true the characters but made modification to the lead characters to enhance the story more. I will look forward to watching this series. On another note I would gladly recommend this version versus the remakes because this one stays true to the original. So if you like a Funny, Romantic, Adventure story this is the one to see till the end.
