Jardim de Meteoros (2001)

A Classic

I say it's a classic, because not only it has so many remakes (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Thai versions), there are also so many spin offs like Dragon Day You're Dead.
I probably should just rate this by not comparing it with the other versions, but I'm gonna do that anyway. I waited to watch the other versions first (except Japanese) before I wrote this. Each one shares the same basic story but have different details added to some to prolong the story.
Violent arrogant rich boy met his match when a poor girl who wasn't afraid of his power put him in his place. ML has a super powerful evil mother that FL isn't afraid of either. There was a moment when I wanted to root for the FL and 2ML, but it only lasted like an episode.
This one is still my favorite. Yes you can't compare the cinematography and production of this one to the more recent ones like Thai and Chinese (which is my favorite as far as cinematography goes), but I think this one has the most depth as far as characters go.
FL is the fiercest character compared to the other versions, and I can feel the ML's feeling as Jerry Yan did awesome in portraying Dao Ming Si. Although the ML is the most violent here compared to the other versions.

I write review for each version

This drama came out when I was 1 so this is not the fist version that I watch, the fist want is the korean one and then I found out about his drama around my senior grade and I just rewatched it again because I saw F4 performing last year in an award program and that made me shocked how Jerry Yan has old but still amazing 😍😍
The
I don’t watch the manga version and the japanese 1995 adaptation

Korean version - I bet a lot of people start in korean drama because of this, I really enjoy it, everything is perfect, but somehow I enjoy Gaeul and Yijung couple more, in term of visual, the korean version got the best !

China version (2009) - It has been so long since I watched this, I just remembered the main character zheng shuang and zhang han, I kinda forgot most of it so I think that this version is not that good, this is just my opinion.

Taiwan version (2001) - THIS IS THE BEST ! I watched it 15 years after it came out and daomingsi lead by jerry yan just so amaazingggggg ( note that everyone has different taste ) the chemistry between him and barbie hsu is the best, he is the funniest out of all leader of F4, the way he angry, he even laugh at himself when he saw the short clip 😂😂😂, I really hope that Jerry Yan meet his soulmate.. all the f4 member has already married, just left with him.

Japanese version - I saw a lot of people love this version, but there is some part that is not logic.. I’m watching the season 2 now, I don’t hate it.. but I don’t really like it too

China (2018) - the best cinematography!! The budget for this drama paid off for all of the quality, but because of the young actors, some part is just lacking, Shen Yue present the character a little bit different for me, Dylan Wang have kind of similar vibe with Jerry Yan, good job 👍

It came out a long time ago so the photography and fashion is just not that comfortable too watched it, but Jerry Yan pull it out so well, even though it has been so long but I’m sure if I was the teenager at that time he will be my top idol, he really look so cool duhh... I rarely enjoy old cinematography, but I love the 2001 version the most, I think what catch me the most is the chemistry between the main character, No one can beat the chemistry between Jerry Yan and Barbie Hsu ❤️❤️❤️

No doubt with 10 points for the music !!! For that era this must be the best, and the OST that they have.. most of my friend around my age know it even though they never watched it before.. YASS it is that popular !!

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.

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.

Let me just start out by saying that the actor who played this version of Rui... Zhou Vic, right? He was sort of cute. Actually, really cute, and likable. This is one of the only versions in which I sided with Rui, because I absolutely hated him in the Korean version, and I liked both the leader and Rui in the Japanese version. Barbie Hsu's character, as much as a victim as she might've seemed like in here (something I hate), managed to get on my good side. But that's because of the actress. If I were to judge her by character, I'd give her a 0. However... the main guy, the leader of the F-4 (sorry, it's been more than a year since I watched this), I completely hated him. Crybaby and immature are the only words that can come up to me about him. I had to drop this because of some events that I completely hated, and now, laugh at (even if they're supposed to be dramatic). If you want to watch this, then fine... however, if you want the best version of Hana Yori Dango, I'd suggest the Japanese one. I had to drop it because I couldn't find the episodes, but I finally did, so I'm planning on re-watching it. The Korean drama is more... eh, I guess I'd still recommend the Korean drama over this version.
