R&J in Modern culture

In my reference of how Romeo and Juliet has effected the modern culture, I used a Chinese TVB Series The Proud Twins because in the movie similar to Romeo and Juliet the main characters a male and female fall in love, but the male is REALLY poor, and the female is extremely rich, so their chances of being in love were unheard of, but love over came that, but unfortunately even the ending is so alike, the female character actually dies, but the male is left alive.
In this movie it is half drama and half comedy, even with all the deaths the funny parts of the movie make it seem like the end will be a happy one.
When I read the blog my mind instantly thought of that series, because it is just SO similar, the link is right below, but there are no English subtitles
