Meteor garden became my all time comfort drama just when i started watching it. I do agree that this is unnecessarily long and a bit cringe too. But for me, this was everything. The way the scenes flowed was crazy. The unbreakable love between Si and Shancai made them to never give up on each other. Daoming Si is like the biggest red flag guy ever but the way he loves Shancai made him greener than a green flag. I was so hooked up on the drama. Other love stories was beautiful too. I sometimes cried, smiled, laughed and thrilled. That was a literal rollercoaster. I will never get enough of those mixed emotions. The actors did a great job! And the osts were so amazing i still listen to em. Whenever i have a free time, i rewatch it. This drama made a huge impact on me.
I do recommend it but i cant make sure that you will love it.
