editSynopsis

Shan Cai, whose parents are far from wealthy, attends Ying De University, the private school established exclusively for rich students. Besides being looked down by rich classmates, she has angered the leader of F4, Dao Ming Si. F4 comprises of Dao Ming Si, Hua Ze Lei, Xi Men, and Mei Zuo, who are the heirs to the four richest families. Their families are the founder of the school and nobody dares to cross them. Shan Cai isn't afraid to stand up to DMS, an act that nobody has done before, and sparks Dao Ming Si's interest in her. However, his constant torture of her has made her miserable while she falls in love with the gentle Hua Ze Lei, who comes to her rescue. Can Dao Ming Si win her love despite his cold and cruel exterior? What happens when his mother decides to use every trick there is to keep them apart? Can they adjust to each other's differences due to their vastly incompatible social status? --Dramawiki

    You are probably asking yourself how I came up with an overall 7 after ranking all the rest so low.

    Fact is, for once I've decided to write a review which is very personal and not at all objective. It's based upon the emotions it gave me, not the cinematographic quality of the drama.



    Also, I think it's necessary to say that among the 3 versions of the same story, this was the last I watched, despite its being the first live-action based on the popular manga.

    And while I consider the Japanese version the best one regarding acting and music and the Korean one better in terms of photography, colours and characterization, I'm ready to face criticism and admit

    Out of the 3 versions of this story, again this was the last one that I got around to watching. The japanese version being my first, will always be my favorite because it's the one that hooked me onto the series to begin with (as well as Arashi / MatsuJun (: ). The Korean version I watched after I read the manga, and although I thought it was a good series by itself, I felt it drifted far off from the manga, and even the main characters seemed to be separate characters. After watching Meteor Garden, I would say I liked this one better than the Korean version.



    In the earlier episodes I felt MG did a terrific job on basing it

  • Both dramas are about ordinary girls who accidentally get thrown into four rich guys' lives. The boys are quite similar in both. There's the hothead, quiet one, playboy, etc. Meteor Garden takes place in a college while Magicians takes place in a famous hair salon.

      hahahah but their cellphones scared me more. They looked like calculators. lol. When Jerry Yan gave his phone to Shancai I was like "Really? She actually took that thing? O.o" and then I remembered it was made in 2000 or something. lol.

    This was the very first Taiwanese Drama I watched and The Very First Time I saw the F4, I got so addicted with them! At that time, I hated Dao Ming Si a lot, but then I rewatch this Movie it made me realize that he should not be Hated. Infact, I LOVE HIM A LOT! <3
