[sparklingstar819]

Overall, I didn't like most of the series. I had been warned against it before I watched it... but I just really wanted to know what happened. Still, I like this ending much better than the ending in MGI.

Well you have a point here (and the second point is my Lei ), I suppose I'll have to find the courage to watch it (and jump the parts about DMS : ), anyway at this point I have to provide myself a fiction where will happen what I want to

Well, u can read my sequel in the meantime

It might not happen exactly like how u want it, but at least SC is paired up with Lei!

ME! ME! ME!!! I love part 2 too! There are a few other people here who like it too

previously, I said I like both part 1 and 2 equally; part 1 because of the comedy, and part 2 because of SC-Lei! However, I've been re-watching both parts lately, I love SC-Lei so much that comedy just doesn't matter anymore...and part 2 had it's funny bits too, so now I guess it seems so that I love part 2 ALOT more than part 1!

Eh.. I've only watched the 1st episode so far and I am rather disappointed. The 1st one is waay better than the 2nd one so far for me. Hopefully I'll like it more as I watch more of it.

[marmar]

well I didn't really watch the whole thing I'm in the process of watching the series I am amost done with it though but so far I'm disappointed I don't like the fact that entire series is about Daoming Si losing his memories and him falling in love with another one...

I'm the type that once reunited with the one you love everything will start coming back..the love that he shared with Shancai will return and everything would be A O K...(then again that's due from too many Shoujo Manga..lol)

Another thing I am disappointed is I only had one mention of XiaoYou...I was more of a Ximen and XiaoYou fan and I liked there s/l more then Daoming Si and Shancai...

Well I am still hoping in the last episode Ximen goes to Canada to reunite with XiaoYou...(agan that's wishful thinking..but still)..

I am happy that in the end they do reunite Daoming Si and Shancai, I know because of everyone saying it..but I didnt like how they played on Lei's feelings for Shancai..I mean playing on the Lei and Shancai fans..they made it seem that they'll get togehter but then in the end she was reunited with Daoming Si...

all in all I'm happy they got back together...disappointed that it took to long and disappointed that they left the Ximen and XiaoYou s/l untold...

[mzdeviL]

I can understand what u mean by how the scriptwriters were "playing" with Lei's feelings...they did make things seem like SC was going to end up with Lei, and for a while, we (Lei-SC fans) were so delighted (I know I was ) because we really thought that they would end up together but just when love was going to blossom for them, they bring that idiot DMS back into the picture! It's just utterly ridiculous how they separated DMS and SC throughout most of the drama, and then bring them back together again during the very LAST few minutes!
Honestly, I don't see that "love" between DMS and SC as true love...it really doesn't seem like it is, to me, it's really unbelievable

In case some people don't know, japan also released their own drama version, and the sequel of it will release next year...I heard that in the sequel, SC ends up with Lei if that is so, then I'll definitely be watching it!

[sharmine]

the first version was still acceptable but the second one is so terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's too boring

[meow_kitty]

Meteor Garden 2 sucked in a nutshell! That Michelle Saram can't act and has the most annoying giggle. She isn't that pretty either.

[party_lover18]

Well i haven't seen MG2 yet but MG1 was good.

[Guest_killmart_*]

finished it a while ago. it was ok and not that boring but Meteor Garden 1 is way a lot better. I just wish the ending wasnt that very very disappointing. The ending is kinda tells me that there is still a continuation. >.>


Daoming Si's mom is really evil and she's really good at that role xD She deserves an award. xD Poor Ye sha and she is still confusing me.

[yenna09]

seq 2 isnt as good as seq1 = = i must admit i like mg1 better

[rawritskim]

i read the manga for this
i hope the drama is as good as it D

[mzdeviL]

can i ask who da s is?

Do u know who Barbie Hsu is? She's the actress who played 'Shancai' in here, 'Da S' is her nickname.

Anyway, I just learnt that in the original storyline, SC was suppose to end up with Lei and DMS ends up with YS, but because many people hated YS and they did not want her to end up with DMS, they protested and the scriptwriters had to change the storyline and made SC and DMS end up together again! I'm so pissed off! They really should've just kept the original storyline! If people don't like YS, then DMS can still end up being single! or he can find some other girl to be with! Lei & SC deserve a chance! It's so unfair to us Lei-SC fans! and no wonder I thought the SC and DMS "reunion" was so fake and un-believable
I'm definitely gonna watch Hana Yori Dango, particularly the sequel (which will release this year), cuz I heard they stuck to the original storyline, so Lei WILL end up with SC! even though I haven't watched HYD yet, but just the thought of SC and Lei ending up together makes me love it sooooo much more than this!

o ok, so thats da s? thks!
are you positive abt how the original storyline was supposed to be dms and yesha together and sancai and lei??? but how can they change the pairing from the original meteor garden?? ahh i liked dms and sancai. so thats why they talked so much abt yesha and dms?

[mzdeviL]

I'm very positive that in the original storyline for the sequel, SC was suppose to end up with Lei and NOT DMS! But many fans protested because they don't want DMS to end up with YS, so the scriptwriters had no choice but to change the storyline...maybe us Lei-SC fans should've spoken out too! That way, maybe they would've kept the original storyline!
The main reasons why this sequel was a total bombshell was because:

1. many people hate YS
2. SC & DMS were separated throughout most of the drama
3. Lei & SC did not end up together
4. it was too draggy

If they had sticked to the original storyline, more people would've appreciated this.

[mzdeviL]

I heard from my friend who read it at this site 3 years ago about the original storyline being revealed by a source from the production, and about how they had to change the storyline after they received so many complaints and requests.
I recently realized that I used to go to that site, but it was before the info was posted, and now that site is deleted. I'm still trying to find this info she read from other sites, but it dates back more than 3 years ago, so it'll probably be difficult to find.
I've also thought about maybe it was fabricated, but then I thought nah! cuz I used to always go to that site like 4 years ago, and it's a very resourceful and reliable site, it has heaps of info on alot of other dramas and stuff, it's alot like wikipedia, only it has info on dramas and movies only (too bad it was deleted ) that's why I'm so sure that it's accurate...unless u come across info that states otherwise.

personally i watched a little of MG2 and i hated it. it was just ruining the whole scene that was set up in MG1 that i liked so much....

way diffrent, too drawn out...they should have just stopped at 1.

[mistic_unicorn39...]

hated michelle saram in this esp. her laugh, juz plain annoying so i stopped watching at epi7

[party_lover18]

I liked Meteor Garden 1 WAY better than Meteor Garden 2. But yeah, people said Meteor Garden 2 wasn't too great but my fault for not believing them. Michelle Saram said that she was gonna give Jerry back to Barbie, but what does she do? Run up and kiss Jerry and having Barbie to cry while walking away! And by the way are Barbie and Blue still together? Some of my friend overly obsessed JnB friends they weren't and some said they were. But if they aren't JNB id the way to go! =) No offence if they still are together!

[mzdeviL]

Actually, Barbie broke up with Blue nearly 2 years ago, and believe it or not, she's dating Vic now! Yes! u heard me, as in Vic Chou! they've been dating since july of 2005, shortly after Barbie broke up with Blue!

I lean more towards Lei for Part 2. I wanted SC to be with Lei at the end. He's so incredible self-giving to SC. Everything he does, it has always been for her benefit.

[Faythe]

I still can't believe that SC didn't end up with Lei. What's the point of having them developing a strong bond if they didn't end up together in the end? In my opinion, SC should be with lei, and DMS ends up alone. I feel so bad for Lei. It just seems like he is forever waiting for SC. But I'm happy that he turned down his first love. She deserved it for choosing her goal over him. Even though SC ends up with DMS, it seems like a part of her will always have feelings for Lei.

[coppertincan]

Just finished MGII yesterday. Compared to MGI this was a a letdown. i think that MG II was really dark and lost the comical sense that made us all really enjoyed MG IThey really dragged out the whole DMS and YS thing. I do not hate YS for coming between SC and DMS, but I am annoyed at her acting-all she did was smile whenever she sees someone-DMS, SC, Xia Ge-theres no difference in her smiles or her expressions. And the conversations between DMS and YS hasn't got much content. I didnt like how YS keeps changing her mind about giving DMS back to SC-this just drags the plot on.

I would have wanted a DMS and SC ending together.But looking at how the plot is going, I think Lei and SC would be a more reasonable ending. In MGI, I really admired DMS -how he did all he can for SC and only loved her and all the funny things he did. But in MGII all these disappeared. In the series, I thought it was more a united F3 than a F4. I really hated how he doesnt want to know about his past even though his friends were so worried about him. Even when he regain his memory he still maintains that distant with SC. The last episode was such a suddne change from his matureness all through to this sudden immature guy again and starts having all these arguements again.

The thing I liek about MG II was how Xi Men and Mei Juo got more parts and we got to know more about them instead of just DMS. At the beginning, I was hoping that Lei would end up with Jing, and that Xian You would end up with Xi Men.

SC will be always feeligns for Lei -she had loved him first before she fell in love with DMS. Putting aside lifetime love-so far we can still see that even thoguh SC has feelings more than friendship with Lei, she is still deeply in love with DMS.

[mzdeviL]

I'm also doubtful of whether or not DMS and SC's love will last...I mean, they are constantly at each other's throats, and they have nothing in common...despite their love for each other, they also 'hate' each other in a way that they are constantly arguing...I doubt this sort of love will last that long

And although SC's feelings for Lei cannot account to that sort of love, but there's no denying that their bond is very strong, I believe a part of SC will always have feelings for Lei, he was her first crush afterall, and although a 'crush' is not equivalent to 'love', they still have a very strong friendship bond, which is lacking in the DMS-SC relationship.
Unlike DMS, Lei will always be beside SC, watching out for her, he will protect her at any cost, even if it means going up against DMS, and he has done that quite a few times already...Lei has always been SC's comforter, he taught her many things, he taught her how to be strong and brave, whenever SC falls down, Lei is always the one giving her strength to stand up again. While DMS has given SC nothing but love, heartache, and SOMETIMES security...but Lei is ALWAYS the protector of SC, he has also given her his love as well, and what a strong love it is!
So while SC endures a 'rocky' relationship with DMS (which I have doubts if it will last), her bond with Lei seems more likely to last a lifetime, because they share much more; they love each other very much (to SC as friends), they understand each other, support each other, this sort of connection is much stronger than SC's relationship with DMS. So when SC does break it off with DMS, she still has Lei by her side, she'll ALWAYS have him
Besides, I think SC is starting to love Lei the same she loves DMS...I mean, if not, then why did she let Lei kiss her? Why didn't she stop him when she had the chance? And why did she ask him to wait for her? Isn't it obvious she is starting to love Lei the same way? It's just sad that pighead DMS came back, otherwise love would've blossomed even more for SC and Lei

I was really disappointed with this series. When I first heard that they were going to use Michelle as YS in it I was completely dumbfounded. she's the worst actress on earth to choose. I couldn't even finish the sequel. MG I was one of my favorite first taiwanese dramas too. I was excited for II, now I'm just utterly disgusted

[fLyInHiGh]

meteor garden 2 was a huge dissapointment for me too
i realli realli wantedd to see barbie and jerry together properli and what they would b like but they onli got an episode together before they were separated
and i realli did not enjoy watchin that
i didnt him fallin in love with the other girl and it just went totalli offtrack meteor garden
but hey thats jst mai opinion im sure alota other ppl enjoyed it

[yeeyee668]

Only watched the first ep of this drama, was so looking forward to it in the beginning, but just didn't like it, I prefer the first one. The ost to the 2nd part was actually ok, and I bought it when it came out.

[hpfan7]

hey, i totally know how you feel. my friend told me to not watch MGII but i didnt listen to her. i thought that if MGI was so so good, then MGII had to be great! So i watched it, and i thought it was pretty good and then it started being a letdown in the middle.........

really....MGII disappointed me so so so much......

Whoah, I watched MG 2 like a thousand years ago, even before I actually watched MG1. But yeah, I'm gonna have to echo anyone who said they liked the first one better.

First of all, I actually loved Michelle Saram as Ye Sha. She's pretty, she's lively, basically I think she was very likable, plus she also had chemistry with Jerry. I had a hard time trying to hate her when I watched this even tho I was rooting with all my heart for SC and DMS. Her acting is not bad either. She' was no Oscar worthy or anything, but she was successful bringing YS to life even tho I kinda thought YS became too clingy and whiny in the last episodes before she finally let go of DMS.

Second, the drama itself I think was well prepared, proven by how they were willing to go all the way to Spain to shoot, picking up that beautiful village, and just the general office setting. Wardrobe-wise, they also toned down DMS (and the rest of the F4 too) clothes which were kinda ridiculous in MG1 into something simpler, more comfortable, yet still look good.

Third, the Meizuo story. OMG, that's perhaps one of my favorite storylines in the whole series. I really liked that Meizuo became more of a character cause he didn't really have much role in MG 1, while Ximen had that Xiao You part, and Lei had Jing then later Sanchai part. But in MG 2, we really got to see more of Meizuo since the beginning actually (when he was the most stubborn of F3 to want DMS to regain his memory cause he really treasured their friendship) and then with the violin girl. I will always remember the scene where the girl played that Doraemon song in her concert, that was so romantic.

Those are some good brownie points of MG 2. However, the bad ones are:

Way too draggy. It wasn't really much longer than MG1 if you think about it, but it felt like it was twice as long, which actually still baffles me to this day how that happened. I had a theory that maybe it felt so long cause they started the whole amnesia thing too early. I mean, by ep 2, DMS already forgot who he was leaving the 23 episodes of memory-less DMS (he got his memory back in ep 24, right?) and the 7 episodes of him trying to pay Ye Sha back by staying at her side. Therefore, we literally only had 2 episodes of full on DMS and SC. This in itself, for me was a huge huge huge disappointment.

Another thing is that memory-less DMS is not the DMS we fell in love in MG 1. The real DMS was a harsh, crude guy, with a soft, marshmallow heart. He was boyish, shy, he's easily embarrassed, and he, in all his temper, was darn adorable. Remember the happy dance he used to do? The shy, wide grin he had whenever SC did anything remotely sweet to him. But in MG 2, we got to see a more matured DMS. In a way, it was a good thing , but we also got a somber guy, who lost his annoying charm. To be truthful, watching DMS in MG 1 and 2 was more or less like watching two different guys.

Hehe, I have a feeling somebody is gonna throw me a rotten tomato after I say this. But I was kinda disappointed with the whole Lei/SC thing. True, we didn't really got a closure as to how Lei felt about SC at the end of MG 1 so it was pretty much still uo for debate. But I just felt like it was a bit forced, like they NEEDed to put a little of Lei/SC in there just to balance it out a bit. I have always liked the friendship between SC and Lei in MG. He has always cared about her, looked out for her, her guardian angel, just like he said. And I genuinely thought/think that the setup was a lot better than they having feelings for each other (or I guess in this case Lei having feelings for SC) cause Lei would always be that guy, the guy whom she could turn to for any kind of support. So, I was partly disappointed when they brought up the subject of possible romance between SC and Lei again.

Heh,, there, I said it. Having said all this stuff tho, I think both MG 1 and 2 are good dramas. I mean, it's been years, and thousands of great/better dramas have come out, but MGs still have that particular charm about it. It would always hold a place in Asian Dramas industries.

[lilxchinesegrl]

this drama was a disaster.. it actually made me want to see shancai w/ lei... its hilarious how everytime theres a sequel to a drama people are like "i hope this doesnt turn out like MG 2"

[jajakinsz150]

this was def a BIG dissapointment. It ruined the illusion that daoming si can only love barbie and her alone... hated it.. so i'm pretending mg2 does not exist haha.. mg 1 was just too good... especially the ending... i'm leaving it at that lollol

[CocaColi]

yeah mg1 was great, but mg2....they coudln't have dragged it out any more. they completely killed the plot. the only good thing was that they went more into everyone's story rather than JUST the main characters. but poor lei. he was my favorite. how come they make the good guy end up unhappy?

[one_for_show]

i loved mg1!!! so i immediately went on to watch mg2, and it totally ruined it for me. it was a total failure in my opinion.

[SamJ_520]

I loved meteor garden to bits! i thought the 2nd one would be as good too.. but.. i am kinda disapointed with it ><

[Azn.Janey]

After I finished watching MG and I heard there was a second one I was like, " I MUST WATCH!!" and yeah it disappointed me a little after the second and third episode but I still watched the whole thing till the end. I liked the on-the-side story with Vanness and his little girlfriend issue lol I found it really cute haha. I wished they made the second season a little better though.

[iceeblaze]

i dont rly like saying this but MG1 was undeniably better. mg2 permanently ruined the sincerity and romantic connection and chemistry between sancai and daoming si. it just ruined their love for each other with the way jerry treated barbie. GAHHH, i regret watching this sequel so much.

and what was with the hair with uhh i forgot his name, but the childhood friend of sancai who's secretly liked her for a long time. he looked gangsta and ghetto, didnt suit him at all, even tho he looked cute in mg1

[twinkle05]

i just finished watching MG2 a couple of days ago .. what can i say a total big dissapointment ... it was draggy ... the only reason i kinda stuck through with it is because of LEI n SHAN CAI ... i was really pissed at the ending ... lei n sc should have been together ...
