#Today I wanna write about a Taiwanese drama, Meteor Garden. I still remembered how can I know this drama. 

At that time, I was still in senior high school. I saw some DVDs on the desk with the title "Meteor Garden" for many days. My eldest sister borrowed these DVDs from her friend. Because she was busy with her study, so she didn't have time to watch this drama. I also didn't interest in these DVDs. 

After my sister told me that the drama was good, so I decided to watch it at the weekend together with my sisters, and I liked it. 

Before I finished watching this drama, my school started talking about this drama. First, I didn't understand what my friends talking about. But when I saw some pictures of this drama, I was surprised. It was the same drama that I watched at weekend. 😅😅😅

Day by day this drama became booming in my school. Every student talked about this drama, included me. 😆😆😆

Meteor Garden (Chinese: 流星花園; pinyin: Liúxīng Huāyuán) is a 2001 Taiwanese drama starring Barbie Hsu, Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Vanness Wu, and Ken Chu. It is the first live-action television adaptation of the Japanese shōjo manga series Boys Over Flowers (花より男子, Hana Yori Dango) by Yoko Kamio. It was produced by Comic Ritz International Production (可米瑞智國際藝能有限公司) with Angie Chai (柴智屏) as a producer and directed by Cai Yuexun (蔡岳勳).

It was followed by its sequel Meteor Garden II, as well as the Japanese live-action television adaptation, Hana Yori Dango, its sequel Hana Yori Dango Returns,  the South Korean Boys Over Flowers, and its remake from China, Meteor Garden 2018.

The story centers around a poor teenage girl, Dong Shān Cài (Barbie Shu), who at the insistence of her parents goes to a university for rich people. The university is dominated by Dào Míng Sì (Jerry Yan), Huā Zé Lèi (Vic Chou), Měi Zuò (Vanness Wu) and Xī Mén (Ken Chu)—four rich, handsome but arrogant students collectively known as the 'F4', short for 'Flower 4'. They are heirs to four rich and influential families in Taiwan. They terrorize the school by handing out red cards to those they do not like, which allows other students to bully the victims until they leave the school.

After one of Shān Cài's friends receives the wrath of the F4's leader, Dào Míng Sì, she stands up to and berates him, which in turn results in a red card of her own. Shān Cài hates the arrogant and rude Dào Míng Sì. Her persistence in standing up for what is right gradually gains the F4's respect and Dào Míng Sì starts to fall for her. Shān Cài is attracted to the silent Huā Zé Lèi in the beginning. But Dào Míng Sì's constant yet annoying efforts have her question her feelings for both Huā Zé Lèi and Dào Míng Sì.

Later in the series, Dào Míng Sì's mother comes to Taiwan. She instantly dislikes Shān Cài because of her poor background. Both Dào Míng Sì and Shān Cài face hurdles his mother throws their way to separate them. Though Shān Cài does not profess her love for him yet, Dào Míng Sì remains determined. The series shows the journey of Dào Míng Sì and Shān Cài's feelings for one another.
