Boys Over Flowers (Korean version) is one of my most favorite drama series of all time. I watched Meteor Garden due to Netflix recommendation and got the pleasantest surprise - I fell in love with it too, though I couldn't help comparing the two adaptations of the Japanese series Hana Yori Dango. Lee Min Ho of BOF and Dylan Wang of MG are equally gorgeous, talented and swoon-worthy. The female leads are both grating at first but grow on you as the dramas progress. The OST of BOF is superior to that of MG but after falling in love with Ai Cun Zai (Love Exists), I now consider the soundtrack of MG as not too far behind that of BOF.

BOF has more violence as well as scenes I rather not re-watch like when Gu Jun-pyo lost his memories and almost fell prey to the conniving Yumi. However, while MG is less painful to watch than BOF, I cried harder with MG. I also laughed harder. The bickerings between Daoming Si and Shancai are more amusing and titillating. Mix in the teasing from F3 and you'd just howl with laughter. Shancai's parents are also hilarious.

MG is a bit draggier than BOF. MG can probably shed off at least 3 episodes by dropping some side stories, removing repetitive flashbacks and making the characters move faster; I couldn't help mentally hurrying Shancai up the driveway of the Daomings' London residence.

The more I watch MG, the more impressed I am with Dylan Wang, a newcomer who was able to effectively portray the angst and passion of a young man deeply in love but clueless about how to treat his lady-love. Daoming Si's piercing gaze whenever he looks at Shancai would make any female heart flutter before melting.

Aside from the riveting love story, friendship is another key element of the series - acceptance of each other's absurdities and flaws, encouragement of each other's endeavors and forgiveness of each other's mistakes are so heart-warming, you'd just want to be part of that world. Thus, you might not be able to help yourself from watching it over and over.

I have read the manga and watched all the versions, including the anime. And this version is by far the best live action representation of the original story. Albeit they don't always get all the little good stuff in, like most movies and tv shows compared to the original book. But with the capture of the characters' personalities, they did a fantastic with the cast! The Caina and Meizuo story of course was a total waste of time, but I guess they wanted a opportunity for all F4 members to have their side stories. Anyways definitely give this one a shot!

Having watched the 2001 original taiwanese version and being a HUGE fan of Boys over flowers I went into watching this series thinking it wouldn't be able to live up to it's successors. Despite being almost carbon copies of the previous two versions, this version stood up very well against them. Firstly, the actors are so attractive. Daoming Si and Huaze Lei are my favourites and the fact that I can't pick who I prefer between the two establishes the fact that the casting was done EXTREMELY well. Even the main character Shancai was sweet and innocent but still likeable. She definitely has that "naive" look I think the main character needs. The plot moved well and there were plenty of cute and romantic moments but a decent amount of tearjerking scenes to make this series not overly sugary and unrealistic. Lastly. THE SOUNDTRACK IS SO DAMN GOOD, I'm listening to it right now hehe. If you guys haven't started watching it yet I highly recommend to start! You won't regret it! :)

This story was originally done in 2001 based off a Japanese Manga. I loved watching this and the version of the 2009 hit, 'Boys over Flowers'. The casting is fantastic in both! I adore the 'manga' like reactions and the storyline is very drama / romance with hilarity thrown into the mix. I can't get enough. It's a perfect Netflix add but I need MORE!

To be honest, I was never into chinese tv show before. Well, it was before Meteor Garden. This chinese drama is sweet, full of twist and turns and fun to watch. In fact, you get attached to all these characters. They are sweet, fun and cool. And believe me, i am so hook on it :)

I really love this new version. i know nothing can top the original meteor garden but it's the cutest version of hyd, so fresh and modern. they stick with the plot of the manga but with less violence and less bullying which is the best part of mg 2018, they even stated at the beginning that the F4 respect woman, and this F4 is popular because they're really smart and talented, not only because they're rich and handsome. and it makes them more lovable. i think it's even better than the korean version

While the show is often funny, and I really like the main character, there are multiple unnecessary plot lines and characters. However, it is worth it to at least try the show. The casting is good, and the influence of the original manga is nice.

Ok..so this was an accidental find for me. I wanted to watch Crazy Rich Asians and netflix kept popping up this movie recommendation. After the 5th time I gave in and figured while I wait for my movie to arrive I will kill time with this movie....Boy, was I in for a surprise!! I was hooked but proper after the first episode. (I am in my 40s, professional, white woman...so not quite the target audience..?) By the time my original intended dvd arrived it could not have possibly lived up to Meteor Garden. Now I tell all my close friends, siblings, and of course hubby that they must watch the show" as Romeo and Juliet won't hold a candle to this story. (Btw, fantastic cast and talent/ chemistry.) As for the last 2 episodes and the critics who don't get it. It's a dream/ brain chaos as Shancai is passing out. So do not take it literally! The question is how far back is reality and what part is her mind playing tricks on her. Keep in mind she is under considetable body stress (hunger, cold etc) and sleep deprivation. So I can't wait for season 2 to see if evil mom really gave in or not and what else the future holds for them. I tried to watch boys over flowers or whatever that show is called but found that one grotesque. (parodical mixed with sadistic in a very unnatural overacted way....) Kuddos to NETFLIX for their interpretation!!! I absolutely love Meteor Garden. I am addicted, looking up "learn chinese" videos on youtube, looking up chinese number meanings (and names) on google etc. I NEED SEASON 2!!!!

It is great to get hooked on something that makes the hours into minutes and you can't get to the next episode fast enough, hoping they don't run out soon!

I am one of the few that do not normally watch anything with subtitles. Yet, I to was hooked hard after just the first two episodes. The cast is phenominal, it all clicks beautifully. There is drama, comedy, happiness and sadness, I await my wed-fri fix. Sat-Tues I rewatch episode after episode. I know it states 48 episodes only, though I do hope so much they will make more. I tried Boys to flowers but shut it off after 20 min, to violent. The writter/s for Meteor Garden 2018 should take a bow!!:) Top notch show, I cannot stop raving about how fantastic it is. Grab some popcorn, some tissues and binge watch this soon to be epic classic.

I'm not one to watch something like this but I was hooked by the first episode. Romance and Comedy all in one. The cast is great and the storyline is great. Ready for more episodes!

I loved it. Binge watched in a week entire season. Please let their be season 2. I need to see what happens next with shancai, and si....they are an amazing couple. And evil mommy needs a little karma. And id like to see shancai drop her guard more with si. How do we know if and when their would be a new season?

This was second version of this tale I took in. Four in all now. Love male lead's wardrobe and his portrayal of character was top class. His mates were like cardboard cutouts. Flat and two-dimensional. But what I couldn't resist? Big sis. Every entrance, every wardrobe selection and every performance - she killed it. Just EPIC. Skipped scenes with others but never with her. Could neither resist nor move. Only character I missed when episodes past without a glimpse. Phenomenal!

Pineapple head is worthy of recommendation.

However, if one analyzes the four male leads only the primary lead was outstanding. At times the others were boring and uninteresting. Anytime the clothes you have on are more interesting than you, it is just sad.

This remake set the bar to a complete different level from the previous versions. The plot is too sweet, you can't help but fall in love with all of the characters personality. It's basically a timeless yet modern friendship/love story that will make you ask for more at the end of every episode. Let's just say Pride and Prejudice met Dawson's Creek/One Tree Hill/ The O.C (Chinese version of it all, of course). The script does work (they followed the Manga almost to the core), the young cast it's really good and the Main Leads (Shen Yue "A love so Beautiful" and Dylan Wang ) have great chemistry. Last but not least the OST: It's so good you will star singing in Mandarin in no time. I absolutely loved it. P.s It's available on Netflix Global.

I really enjoyed the show up to the middle of episode 46. After that, it was a mix of long, boring montages and downright weird dream -like scenes that don't make sense or follow the pace of the rest of the show. My advice is to quit watching while you're ahead unless some sequel emerges- stop watching at 24 minutes of episode 46 (tea shop scene). It's not the most satisfying ending - but it's not the confusing disappointment that follows.

Now i have seen it again - i belive i have seen it now over 30 times - love it from the beginning to the end.

Poor girl enters elite university and the elite club of four handsome talented rich lads are all enamoured by her. Based on the Japanese manga series boys over flowers, also a Korean tv series. We have the bad boy bullying assaulting and forcing himself on the poor girl even though he really has a heart of gold. I have an issue with it as though parts of it are well acted even though it is way too long the attitude towards women is archaic and misogynistic.

I clicked on this without expecting anything, but immediately I was hooked the cast are really great and funny and the friendship they have is so sweet, would Definitely recommend this series!
