Plot

A poor teenage girl named Shan Cai attends Ying De University, a private school established exclusively for rich students. The university is dominated by a gang of handsome but arrogant students known as F4. Dai Ming is the F4 leader and the other members are Hua Ze Lei, Xi Men, and Mei Zuo - all of whom are heirs to the richest families in Taiwan.

Shan Cai then becomes the target of F4's Dao Ming's contempt. In the past no other students stood up to the F4, but Shan Cai does so. This in turn piques the interest of Dao Ming enough that he soon finds himself falling for Shan Cai. Meanwhile Shan Cai finds herself falling for another F4 member, the gentle Hua Ze Lei ...

Notes

Based on manga series "Hana Yori Dango" by Yoko Kamio (published from 1992 to 2004 in Japanese shojo manga magazine Margaret).
The original Japanese title "Hana Yori Dango" or ""Boys Over Flowers" is a pun on the Japanese old saying "Dumplings over flowers," referring to people who attend Hanami (flower festival), but instead of enjoying flowers, focus more on the materialistic side of the event such as getting food and buying souvenirs.
Meteor Garden not only became a smash hit in Taiwan, but become one of the more popular dramas ever in Hong Kong and the Philippines.

Hi Feb 03 2025 9:02 am Me and my mom watched this religiously back then and since we lived in a small town back, we didn't have many Kinds of Entertainment so we rented MG's VCDs and watched it at home.

RIP Barbie Hsu, a.k.a San Chai, we're going to miss you so much

Ivee Jul 18 2024 6:27 am this one is the best. i can watch it over and over again

Sammy Apr 07 2024 9:59 pm Cringey and overrated. In my country when a man tries to force himself on a woman it's called sexual harassment not entertainment or romance. This happens quite often in this series and legit put me off watching the rest. Acting is terrible too. Probably popular due to the looks of the actors.

iamestee Aug 24 2021 4:22 am as of this writing I've seen this a couple of times already but I'm still not getting tired of watching it. I guess I can watch this again and again. such a great drama series! btw, I'm from the Philippines :)

Prim Dec 28 2017 4:16 am This is the legend of it all. The igniting factor of the dorama world. I am a huge japanese drama fan, but none will ever top Meteor Garden in my heart. This is my childhood. I remember running back home with my cousins (all tired and dirty from playing) whenever its 4pm and Meteor Garden is airing. I bought all kinds of posters and wallet-sized pictures of F4 and Shan Cai. Aaaaah~ Nostalgic! Even now, after 11 yrs and I'm already a professional, I watch episodes from time to time. Although the main story is from a japanese manga, it will always feel like Meteor Garden is the original one - for me.

Akiko Jan 23 2012 9:06 am I remember getting addicted to this series and after watching the entire first season a for three days, finished the last episode just a few minutes ago, I'm vouch that I'm still hooked as the first time I watched the series a decade ago. Still the best IMO among the Hana Yori Dango adaptation.
