SAME THROUGHOUT ALL 3:
Time difference in Paris scene
Shoes can take you to beautiful places quote
Shan Cai/Makino you're cute today kiss scene with Lei 2001 and 2018 and Rui (I don't think there was a kiss?) at night
F3 help sell dango/cakes/milktea
DMS tells Shan Cai to close her eyes because he will get beat up, says it don't hurt one bit and Makino covers Tsukasa for the final blow, and says he wouldn't be able to protect her if he didn't fight back
DMS mom makes Shan Cai play piano during DMS bday party
Shan Cai's mom pours flour/salt on DMS mom's head, in 2018 her dad also pretends to throw water for her to wash it off
Shigeru bites Tsukasa's ear after he drags her out far barefoot and doesn't have money to take a cab
Akira and Soujiro go out with Shigeru on rollercoasters, buffets and exotic animals (HanaDan), plus movies, ice cream and sanitary napkins (2001), only movies, walking, claw machines and lingerie shops to buy bras(2018) Shigeru visits Makino at work to show them how they're trying to get her to give up DMS
Shigeru waits for Makino outside her house and hugs her and says Tsukasa agreed to date her
Shan Cai listens to Xiao Zi's rants and Xiao Zi asks if they've kissed
Shigeru strips and Tsukasa says she'll catch a cold, DMS doesn't feel a thing, Xiao Zi asks if she should've worn lingerie, blabs so that she doesn't hear when Tsukasa says he doesn't like her
Shan Cai works as a maid in DMS' house because she needs a reason to stay there to protect her pride, doesn't wanna stay for free
Nakatsu buys drinks while Tsukasa goes to the bathroom, Nakatsu plays dumb after being punched
Tsukasa gets mad at Makino if this is her idea of a commoner's date and says it's great if Yuki and the guy broke up, doesn't apologize
Yuki defends Tsukasa and says Nakatsu was extremely rude the whole time and Tsukasa was patient
Yuki cries to the ground when Soujiro passes by and invites her to his house
Yuki says I don't know him but I may have seen him in school
Nakatsu tells Makino her boyfriend is weird for rejecting him
Tama defends Makino to Kaede over her dead body, vowed to serve household for life to repay patriarch
Forbid Shan Cai to leave the house and will risk life to protect
DMS got into fights in HS, when sister married no one was left who dared discipline him
Rui gets Makino to kiss him to prove she can't
Breakup in the rain scene: Have you ever once seen me without my family, my name, just as a normal man? Makino lies and says no and that if she really loved him she wouldn't leave. Cuts ties with Domyouji fam

Only in MG )

Differences )
they dress like it's always winter in China while in the Taiwanese version, they wear sleeveless clothes or just shirts all the time. I know it doesn't get super cold in Taiwan but I just noticed. HanaDan leans towards warm clothing too but not too much layers. I mean 2018 Lei wears gloves and scarves indoors!

Mei Zuo - Zhou Caina storyline, met at cooking contest, love triangle with old man Terrence (2018)

CAMEO:
2001 Shan Cai's mom in episode 11 of MG 2018, tells DMS 2018 he reminds her of her son in aw, which is basically DMS 2001!

The scene where the new Dao Ming Si walked slowly towards Shan Cai from afar made Chinese netizens comment that it’s absolutely a horror movie.

P.S. I'm on episode 2 right now and I love it! Of course after 17 years there are some major changes that will take some getting used to but I find it easier to watch than MG 2001. Everyone's so young but so good looking and I find they have great chemistry! I'm biased towards HanaDan of course but I feel like this is gonna be a great remake. I'm not at the scene in question yet but the scene was really a in all the remakes and was being faithful to the story, and just shows that years ago when the manga was made this type of behavior was romanticized. I'm pleased people know better now. I do think Dao Ming Si is a little less of a jerk to everyone here than other adaptations, and just a jerk specifically to Shan Cai. Still planning to finish MG 2001 so I can compare it to this one.
