The Original And Classic F4
This drama, was the first of all F4 Meteor Garden (Taiwan). Remakes and various versions from Japan, Thailand etc. is truly beyond comparison to this original classic. Watching again now (for more than 10 times already), the drama looks dated and production, simple in it's 2001 release, but the actors and the story to me is still the BEST version.The Taiwan F4 selection for this original cast were equal in height, compatible in looks and persona, the aura magnificent and un-conditional brotherhood/friendship is both natural and warm to our hearts. One can not help but agree that the roles were a perfect fit for the entire cast. Jerry Yan's portrayal of Dao Ming Si can never be replaced. His arrogance, pride, coupled with a heart of gold that is loyal and determined in pursuing his first love Shan Cai, carried us from the start of the drama to it's much anticipated happy ending. In completion, one could not help but feel so happy for him, for he deserved it so.
.....(sigh)..... yes, I will watch this drama again, whenever I miss the many memorable moment and scenes. The entire album, OST and songs are also very good.

Brilliant Acting, Strong Girl, Manly Men, and Amazing Storyline
I've always loved 2001 Meteor Garden since I was 5 years old till now that I'm 22. The F4 and Shancai were all newbies at that time, this is their drama debut, but I'm so amazed because they are all playing their each characters so very perfectly. They are not even playing their characters, but they ARE THE CHARACTERS, so you can feel that Shancai, Dao Ming Si, Hua Zhe Lei, Xi Men, and Mei Zuo are forever only Barbie Hsu, Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu, and Vanness Wu. NO ONE CAN EVER REPLACE THEM, just like no one can replace Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man.Also the storyline is really enjoyable. There are so many comedic lines and scenes that make me laugh so hard and make me wanna watch 2001 Meteor Garden over and over again and never get bored. The romantic scenes also makes my heart fluttered all the time. I just hope the five of them can do some small reunion or something ❤

Bisaya Review
seeing the full version this year 2020, what I like about this drama is that dili kayo sya restricted. There were scenes that’s applauding especially Jerry Yan acting as Dao Ming Si. I like it also na clear ang reason why Shancai fall out of love for Huaze Lei. The subconscious also sa mga characters kay gina istorya throughout the drama, which is an okay for me kay para masabtan pajud ang drama. The drama itself kay daghan confusing moments and out of place jud pud kau ang storyline pero I find it charming as well. I like that the characters are portrayed as mature people rather than school type na characters, though sa school manjud ang intrada sa drama at first.Was this review helpful to you?
