Synopsis

The story centers around a poor teenage girl, Shancai (Barbie Shu), who at the insistence of her parents goes to a school for rich people. The school is dominated by Daoming Si (Jerry Yan), Huaze Lei (Vic Chou), Meizuo (Vanness Wu) and Ximen (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 Shancai's friends receives the wrath of the F4's leader, Daoming Si, she stands up to and berates him, which in turn results in a red card of her own. Shancai hates the arrogant and rude Daoming Si. Her persistence in standing up for what is right gradually gains the F4's respect and Daoming Si starts to fall for her. Shancai is attracted to the silent Huaze Lei in the beginning. But Daoming Si's constant yet annoying efforts has her question her feelings for both Huaze Lei and Daoming Si.

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

Release

Reception

In the Philippines

The Tagalog-dubbed version of Meteor Garden dubbed aired on ABS-CBN on May 5, 2003, quickly becoming one of the highest-rated shows on local television and creating a massive following in the country dubbed "The Meteor Garden fever" in Philippine media.[3][4]

Its popularity spawned numerous local parodies of F4 music videos and notable scenes from the series and prompted broadcasters to re-air the series in its entirety at least eight times.[5][6] The show's opening and closing themes were translated and performed in Tagalog by Josh Santana (for Qing Fei De Yi) and Michelle Ayalde (for Ni Yao De Ai).[6]

On September 12, 2003, Barbie Hsu, Ken Chu and Vaness Wu visited Manila for a concert at the ULTRA indoor arena (now known as the PhilSports Arena.)[6] To prevent the actors, specifically Chu and Wu, from being mobbed by fans, the management of ABS-CBN and airport security staff used decoy actors wearing wigs escorted by a security detail to "meet" the estimated 700 fans while the real actors went through the routine immigration and customs inspections with other regular passengers.[7]

On November 6, 2003, Ninoy Aquino International Airport was placed on high alert in anticipation of Jerry Yan's first visit to Manila.[8] Yan paid a courtesy call to then-president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo at the Malacañang Palace where, according to reports, both the president and Yan had to be temporarily removed from the premises for a few minutes when fans became unruly during a scheduled photo session.[8][9]

Meteor Garden has been credited for directly boosting the popularity of other "Asianovelas" in the Philippines, with live-action dramas produced in Taiwan, China, Korea and Japan allotted regular timeslots on major television networks after the initial run of Meteor Garden.[10]

Legacy

F4 and JVKV

F4 (Flower Four) or JVKV was a Taiwanese boy band consisting of Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu, and Vic Chou. The group F4 was formed in 2001 after Meteor Garden ended. They released three albums, Meteor Rain (2001), Fantasy 4ever (2002), and Waiting for You (2007). According to Forbes, F4 has sold 3.5 million copies of their first two albums all over Asia as of July 2003.[11] In 2007, due to copyright issues, the group changed its name to JVKV, using the initials of its members in order of descending age.[12]
