Honestly, Meteor Garden the Taiwanese version would stand as the original series because it was produced few years before the Japanese. Now, if you are talking about the mangga version then that’s the original. But Hana Yori Dangdo with real people is way later produced, then Korean comes last. But the very very first Live action (real people) version of this story is from the Japanese movie back in 1997 if I’m not mistaken so it would be the very original version but it wasn’t a series it was just a movie.
