Drama that I won't be able to forget :) Purely my opinion and its kinda long :D
Let me start by saying that this is just my 3rd time watching this Taiwanese version of Meteor Garden. The first time was way way back long ago, 2002 or 2003 I think, but all I can remember is that I was still in 2nd grade at that time. It was even dubbed in my country's language and is a daily afternoon TV drama. So me and my friends would run home after class to watch and cheer for DaoMingSi. :D
Second time was when I was already pursuing my college degree. Internet was already available and I was able to rematch with their actual audio. 3rd time was few days ago when I have nothing to do. :D
So review wise, I can say that I have different views depending of when I actually saw this drama. Back when I was a child, the concept/story was so new for me. The plot line isn't much used at that time thus the drama really captured wide audience especially in international market. No internet yet to promote, mostly word of mouth only. Thus, the drama was indeed considered as a masterpiece at that time. Acting was done flawlessly in my opinion as I can relate due to being a student as well. The music was even more catchy as local language version was been released. The kind of widespread this drama caused at that time was really phenomenal. Asian dramas weren't that aggressive yet until Meteor Garden was introduced to international market thus starts the so called Asian Drama fever.
So for the 2nd time of watching, I can say that it kinda lessen my expectations as I was able to watch the Japanese and Korean versions (still on TV and dubbed in my native tongue. Forgive me as internet is still limited during my time.:D ) Story wise, the plot was already over used and having so many versions just feel useless for me. So I mainly focused on comparing the different versions then. I could say, each version has their own corresponding pros and cons. But each new version tried to surpass the previous ones. Thus I could say that maybe for later generations, they would be more biased towards more updated versions than the old ones. This is kinda true in my case as well since I am more inclined too with those drama versions created during my time rather than those before I was even born.
Overall, I would still recommend for younger generations to watch this version, or maybe not, their choice. :D Anyway, music wise, I still love the original ones especially those dubbed in my language. :D
End of my two cents. :D
