My first Asian Drama of any sort was "Boys Over Flowers" and I love that drama. So I was a little hesitant to watch this one. Partially because I wasn't familiar with much of the cast and partially because BOF is a ride like no other and I wasn't sure if this version would be able to live up to my expectations.

What I found was that this drama told the story as well (and in places better) than BOF and gave us more information on the story lines that are sort of left out or very limited in BOF. I loved that. I also liked how this series was able to tell the same story but somehow it didn't feel like the totally unreal lifestyles/situations that are often presented in Boys Over Flowers. Again, I am a huge BOF fan, but if you've seen it, I think you will understand what I mean by that.

All the actors in Meteor Garden did a great job. They are fun to watch and work well together. The music is really good too. It was surprising to me just how many English songs are in the soundtrack, but they fit so well, I totally understood their use.

I really enjoyed this drama. I recommend it.
