METEOR GARDEN: PART II 4-DISC SET (31 EPISODES)
Meteor Garden is a highly acclaimed Taiwanese drama that originally aired in 2001. It is an adaptation of the popular Japanese manga series Boys Over Flowers (Hana Yori Dango) by Yoko Kamio. The drama quickly gained immense popularity not only in Taiwan but across Asia, becoming a cultural phenomenon and sparking a wave of similar adaptations throughout the region.
The story revolves around Shan Cai, a strong-willed and kind-hearted girl from a modest background who unexpectedly gets admitted into a prestigious high school dominated by an elite clique of wealthy students known as the F4. The F4 consists of four handsome and influential boys: Daoming Si, Huaze Lei, Ximen, and Mèng Yún. Throughout the series, Shan Cai’s interactions with these boys, particularly the arrogant yet charismatic leader Daoming Si, evolve from confrontational to romantic, illustrating themes of friendship, love, and class struggle.
Meteor Garden has had a lasting impact on Taiwanese pop culture and the wider Asian entertainment industry. Below are some additional details providing more depth about its production, influence, and legacy:
Cast and Characters: The drama starred Jerry Yan as Daoming Si, Vic Chou as Huaze Lei, Ken Zhu as Ximen, and Vanness Wu as Mèng Yún. Barbie Hsu played the lead role of Shan Cai. The chemistry among the cast members contributed greatly to the show’s success.
Plot Elements: Apart from the central romance, the series explores various social issues, including economic disparity, bullying, and personal growth, weaving these themes into a coming-of-age narrative that resonated with many young viewers.
Music: The soundtrack of Meteor Garden features memorable songs, including its iconic opening theme “Qing Fei De Yi” sung by Harlem Yu, which remains popular and is often associated with 2000s Asian dramas.
Cultural Impact: The show’s success led to multiple remakes across Asia, including versions in Japan (2005), South Korea (2009), and China (2018), each adapting the storyline to fit their own cultural contexts but retaining the original’s spirit.
F4’s Influence: The boy band F4, formed by the lead actors following the drama’s success, achieved fame both as actors and singers, contributing to the Hallyu wave and Asian pop culture.
Filming Locations: Many scenes were shot in iconic Taipei locations and prestigious schools, contributing a sense of authenticity and glamour to the show’s atmosphere.
Why Meteor Garden Remains Popular:
Relatable Characters: Despite their wealth and status, the characters in Meteor Garden display vulnerabilities and growth, making them relatable to audiences.

Timeless Themes: Themes of friendship, loyalty, courage, and overcoming adversity continue to resonate with viewers across generations.
Fashion and Style: The drama popularized fashion trends among youth, influencing styles and tastes at the time.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
