I've always loved 2001 Meteor Garden since I was 5 years old till now that I'm 22. The F4 and Shancai were all newbies at that time, this is their drama debut, but I'm so amazed because they are all playing their each characters so very perfectly. They are not even playing their characters, but they ARE THE CHARACTERS, so you can feel that Shancai, Dao Ming Si, Hua Zhe Lei, Xi Men, and Mei Zuo are forever only Barbie Hsu, Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu, and Vanness Wu. NO ONE CAN EVER REPLACE THEM, just like no one can replace Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
Also the storyline is really enjoyable. There are so many comedic lines and scenes that make me laugh so hard and make me wanna watch 2001 Meteor Garden over and over again and never get bored. The romantic scenes also makes my heart fluttered all the time. I just hope the five of them can do some small reunion or something ❤
