katranna's recommendation I bought the anime "Hana Yori Dango." She tells me it has Bollywoodish feel plus a strong heroine which seems to be a rarity in anime from my admittedly limited exposure (see a good page for it here, here, here, here).
Googling some information for the thing, I found out that the gang of 4 rich guys who run the school the heroine is in and make her life hell because she stands up to them is called F4 (my mind just went to Veronica Mars, naturally. Heh. Is it too much to hope there is a Logan?) And then, I remembered that the utterly adorable HK movie I saw recently ("Magic Kitchen") said on the back that one of its (male) leads was from "F4" which at the time made me go "whaaaa" until I figured it out it must be a music group.
I thought it was a bizarre coincidence and didn't think any more of it. But while reading more info on HYD today, I found out that the F4 group is named after HYD. In fact, the members of it are the guys who played F4 in a Taiwanese live-action version.
Talk about bizarre.
ETA: Here's a picture if you are curious. Hmmm, Leather Pants? Not sure which one of them was in Magic Kitchen (I think it was "Soujirou"), maybe because leather or velvet was not in evidence.
