totally totally random, gotta admit it. I know that Meteor Garden 2 has come out and I've heard a lot of negative stuff about it. so for all those who are currently watching, is it that bad? I've watched the first one and I found it hilarious. hehe, it was actually MG who got me hooked with F4 and then Jay cuz they're all from Taiwan. Now I'm definitely more Jay-oriented than F4, but anyhoo... so can anyone tell me if it's worth watching it or not? muchas gracias (thank you in spanish)

I'm in the U.S. so I haven't watched it or gotten the VCDs but I did hear it wasn't as good as the first one. But I mean the first one was SO GOOD so it is very difficult to beat it, but none the less I'm still very very excited to watch MG2!!! XD

keke... maybe I'll go watch it then and my friend gets the VCDs of it. hey, what's this about replacing Da (Big) S for MG3 b/c she doesn't wanna do it? No offense, but I think that that idea is so stupid. No one can replace her! She's the greatest! haha.

I have to wait until I can get my hands on MG2 all at once =( I will probably order them from YesAsia or something. But yeah Da S doesn't want to do another one so they *might* replace her, but that's if they will do a third one at all. =T But yeah I love MG and I love F4 too LOL. Ppl say they're a boy band, just looks, whatever, but it's all good. ;D

MG1 was all right. It's too bad they had to rip the idea off a japanese comic instead of write their own story. And DA S and her sister have reputation for being bitches. I haven't seen MGII but my friends in family in Taiwan says it sucks, and that they were happy they were done filming it. :? Anyways, Sweet Lemon is a lot better.

was it really just ripping off? because i thought the director or whatever.. really loves that comic and it's her fave and she decided to make it into a drama?

omg how good was the first one?!! :love: it was so funny and everything, and everything was soooooo damn gewd!! i actually ended up buying it.
but the second one, i dunno, at first i really really wanted to watch it, now its like i can live witout watching it EVA. my frends who have watched it said watching it was depressing for em coz its so sad. :cry: i knoe wat happens coz she told me, and it sounds really bad, unless you hate san cai its okay i guess. :twisted: i personally think they stuffed the whole series up really bad wit the second part, they shouldn't have tho!! :cry:

12-24-2002, 02:25 AM
yeah, that's what I heard. I want to watch the 2nd one, but all my friends are telling me that it sux like heck. but I'll prolly still watch it, even tho it might not meet my expectations.
btw, xiao jie, is that won bin *for your avatar*

The second ones are always bad, just like Toast Man's Kiss. They just hurridly write a second one while its still hot to keep the fans going and the money coming in.
As for it ripping off... I'm sure they bought the licensced rights off the author, but still. It's always easy to use someone else's idea and make money off of it. But how much better is it if you make money off of your OWN creation?

the same thing happened to me!! haha... o except the community i live in is super asian so i'd already heard a bit bout jay. nehooz meteor garden was so unbelievably good... i watched the entire series 2 times over the summer. *grin. sum of my friends have already seen MG2 and say that it definitely can't compare w/ the first and that its much more sad. personally, i prefer more comedy. ive seen teh first two episodes of MG2 which were good, but i heard bout a lot of the dull parts later on as well. too bad i can't reely start watching til im done w/ sat's... o yea also, i dont like the plot cuz my fav character is hua zhe lai (vic zhou aka zaizai) and it reely sux cuz he faces more dissapointment... i already kno what happens, being the overly curious and impatient type, but i wont ruin it for ne1 :)

01-19-2003, 05:21 AM
:D hahaha.....what a coincidence....I was just watching the mv "que bu nen si qu nee" and thinking to myself...."i don't remember zai zai looking like that before....his face is so round....he almost looks like a stuffed animal!"
well.... :D he's still cute...in a stuffed animal-like way....but i do agree with you....f4 does need to lose some weight

the new actress .. isn't really new. michelle cheng (suet yee) is originally from singapore or malaysia (i think) & for the past few years she's been in quite a lot of hong kong dramas. i personally don't think she can act for s*** and she is supposed to be "the third wheel" between jerry & barbie's characters.
i read the reviews on yesasia.com & they said that the plot is really messed up & that mgii almost ruins mgi. :crazy:
oh well. i still want to see mgii. & i've fallen in love with vic's character in mgi. :p

me 2! I love zai zai's character. so... mysterious, shy... just like that type of guy I dream about all the time. I think jay's a little like that too, dun ya think? shy, but sensitive. at least, that's how I think of him... keke. :p did you say zai zai got fat? that's gotta be way funny. now i definitely have to watch mg2. just to see a fat zai zai.

actually he looks fine in mg2, his face jist looks really puffy in the new music video. :wink: i luv zaizai's character (hua zhe lai) too!! especially how he's always there to listen to sahn tsai and comfort her. and the way he keeps looking silently into the distance makes him seem like such a thoughtful and peaceful guy. awww, so cute!! :D too bad i dont kno any guys like that.

but I remember watching the first vcd on the streets with my friend Mindy
*we were watching it in front of those vcd shops.. just imagine 2 girls in uniforms on a busy street with the sun shining*
I also watched a few more vcds/series on tvb.. it was ok.... but i like the first one more!!!

me oni watched the 1st 15mins coz scared tt i will get hooked. i really dun hv time to watch the whole show...
So far i think the show was too exaggerating.. for those who had watch it will understd wat i meant. the grad ceremony was sort of ridiculous... (no offence to F4, juz tt cant understd the scriptwriter.....)

i'm watching it right now... i'm on episode... 16 i think. i think there's a lot more plot development and a lot more things happening in meteor garden 2. the first episode was kind of boring and slow because the dialogue between shan cai & dao ming si in spain was so cheesy and bLllegHhhh!
theyre making a meteor garden THREE?! :| if they do, i have a feeling it will suck. and it's probably true that Da S doesn't want to be in mg3 since she was already complaining while filming mg2

These are the times when it becomes the FF dramas. (Fast Foward)
Or do like my mom does. Watch the first episode, and then the last.

01-29-2003, 09:12 AM
wow, babyxv, you're like the first one I know who thinks MG2 is actually somewhat decent. I've heard so much negative stuff about it. I still wanna watch it though... haha. even though I know that F4 can't really act.
the FF dramas... now that's just wrong. hilarious, but wrong.

haha maybe because my expectations were VERY low because of all the bad things i heard about it. but really, their acting has improved... especially dao ming si's character. and there's a lot more real celebrities in the drama that are really funny
give mg2 a CHANCE, people! haha :p

02-04-2003, 03:48 PM
i've seen it... and yes, it IS bad... cos they've taken the story out of the comic context and create their own, so the characters became weak.. dao ming shi turns into a sap instead of the stubborn, hot-tempered hunk he used to be... and everyone else is just.. i dunno.. you guys just have to see it, it was quite disappointing..
i think it started out pretty good then everything went wrong halfway... just like the rumours stated, f4 had too much exposure and it's obvious in MG2 that they're working half-heartedly, you know.. they should have a little break otherwise they're gonna burn out and have a breakdown or something..(or maybe they have already?)

MG 2 is bad because the storyboard was too out-dated. Lose memory, complex relationship, character with uncurable disease. The style is totally different from MG 1. That makes ppl hate MG 2.

02-18-2003, 03:20 AM

I've completed the whole 31 series of MG II. Save your time and money - recommended series :
1- the reason of being Tao Ming Tse amnesia, view of Barcelona and the kiss.
9 -sweet & sad valentine for Sanchai
13 - Sanchai meet TaoMingTse for the first time
21 - Ximen is really handsome (arrrgh) even when hospitalized
24 - the pool incident - the memory is back
28 - let the meteor determine our love fate.
MG I is much much better (I've replay it > 5x already) - the comic is even funnier . MG II : Ximen definitely look really handsome here !

Hey,for my opinion,MG 2 is better than the first one.The story line is better than the first one and the script,the line,really means a lot.
MG 1 is just like a childish drama thats fooling around for me.Maybe is because it is the first drama of F4.Maybe is because F4 doesn't have much experience in acting.
But in MG 2,F4 really improved in their acting.Even the ways the speaks.And I like how the director direct this drama.And the background music.Really pull out the feelings of the who drama.
U feel warm when watching it.And this MG 2 is more in touch about Love,Friendship,Responsibility,Family......
Hey,I like MG 2 a lot.Lot more than MG 1.

i kinda liked the 1st one, though sloppy and slow.
hahaha.
i'm very slow, havent watched the 2nd yet.
anyway, why am i posting a msg here?
i'm not answering ur question!
~hits herself~
alright i'll be shoving off
i've watched finished MG2..whatever negative feedbacks you've got, sadly, are true. its not bad in the beginning but once dao ming si loses his memory the show just starts to suck. its really quite bad compared to MG1. To those watching it now..good luck. you're in for a looonngg naagggyyy show. but get ready some tissue though..some scenes are quite touching.

MG2 is pointless :tdown: , it took too long :bigyawn: , like the part right after his accident, don't people look for him :? , especially rich/famous people. also what?, no news/ radio/tv to mention of him. also i didn't like the endin, what kind of endin' is that :dry: ? BUT then I never watched the first Meteor Garden, haha :p i didn't :o even knew that it was showed on tv. ALso i didn't even watch the second Meteor garden, only very few parts, only my mom and sisters watched it. PLus, is in mandarin, which i don't understand most of it since i'm learnin it and i speak cantonese, so i had to ask my mom very dumb :wstupid: questions about it when i was sorta watchin it. SO in some case, who am i to judge Meteor Garden. :twisted:

okay, im in the middle of it now. the new girl just left and is gna die.. mauahahahaah. actually, this serie sucks in all the possible ways. it's pathetic and sad. BUT I STILL LOVE IT! maybe because i'm pathetic and sad. so for those of you that's pathetic and sad, go watch it. and bored. i have nothing better to do i guess. hehe.
*sigh* wish i had a lei.

05-04-2003, 11:38 PM
I've seen Meteor Garden II.
I totally liked the first on the best, this one has too many sub-plots, plus it's so long that i get bored.
Also i got totally broken-hearted when San Tsai and Do Ming Si were ripped apart that i couldn't stand to see the rest of it.
*sigh*

05-05-2003, 12:21 AM
I thought the ending was soooo gay... San chai should totally hook up with Lei and not Dao ming si! the ending was sloppily put together... the whole drama was sloppily put together. just dragged on and on and on...
really disappointed at the sequel. the first one was 100x better!

05-05-2003, 03:31 AM
it sucks...i wouldnt watch da second one if i were u guys...itz pointless...da plot sucks...itz like da usual plots..nothing exciting...n i hate da new main actress....she cant act..she over does it...she pisses me off
~sugarcookie~
05-05-2003, 03:49 AM
the 2nd one drags way too long then they give it a quick, non satisfying ending. i tried to like it because of F4, but even now i can barely stand it. that's probably why it took me at least twice the time to go through MG II then it took for me to go through MG I

07-15-2003, 08:01 PM
wow sounds like it wasn't that good. it's hard for me to find the series because I don't wanna buy it and we don't have any Chinese stores in my city oh well lol im sure my cousins have the whole series since they are OBSESSED with F4 although everyone is saying it sucks thats kidna what makes me wanna watch it, lol. im werid i wanna see how much it sucks.

07-15-2003, 10:50 PM
it's horrible. i watched on vcd already and now it's on tv over here in ca...and i'm so pathetic because i'm watching it again. i do not recommend it to anyone unless you're a die-hard fan of one of the guys. because that's all it is. them running across the screen with all these meaningless subplots that nobody cares about. on top of that, there's this new girl who is ANNOYING AS HELL...i'm sure everyone's heard complaints about her laugh? yes, it's that annoying. and her horrible mandarin..ugh, i can't stand it. and yet...i watch...because i'm a sucker...
whoever made the comment about the ending...i disagree :wink2: because i think she did the right thing!!!! you are right about the fact that it was horribly thrown together..it didn't even make sense...but...she ended up with the right guy! imagine if dao ming si had ended up with the other girl. i woulda killed someone!!!!
i need to stop talking about MG.

08-04-2003, 02:18 AM
I thought that it was good!! I haven't seen the first one but I heard that it was better. The only problem about the 2nd one is that it takes WAY TOO LONG for Shan Chai to see Dao Ming Shi after he had the car accident... Kept me in suspense for a long time!!

08-04-2003, 05:46 AM

No words can ever describe how bad MG2 is. It just suck big time...I hate every second of it. And it almost ruined MG1 for me. Grr...
It's a shame to name it MG2...I wish it never happened.
I mean, they should have just wait for the comic to be finished, and also wait for MG1's superb director to film the second one.
Besides, those awful rumors of BigS and Jerry ruined it a bit for me too. Big S should just stop complaining about doing scenes with Jerry just because her bf would get jealous. Puh-please!
My advice, don't bother watching MG2. Don't even bother. It's not worth it. Not the time nor money.
sUm^MeR
09-29-2003, 11:58 AM
Hahaha, I have to agree with all of you guys. MG2 sucks big time. It actually ruin MG1, it ruins Dao Ming Si character and also ruin Hua Zhe Lei character.
First thing first, I don't like how the cool Hua Zhe Lei could easily fall for San Tsai and rejected Jing, the love of his life. That's just kinda upset me. It's not Lei that I know and love, it's not the cool Lei that has always stay mysterious, cool, smart but weak inside. And all of a sudden, Lei change into this superhero idiot that keeps helping San Tsai to get DMS back, while he's holding back his feeling for her. :dry:
Dao Ming Si has gone into a total jerk that I REALLY HATE!!! Unlike his character in MG, the innocent Dao Ming Si who would do anything for love, right now DMS has gone into a person who they so called "mature". But to me, he's nothing but a total jerk who is selfish by saying he doesn't want to know his past. Gah gah..., And I totally miss the expression and the eye gaze of of DMS when he's jealous.
Ye Sha is simply one too-perfect girl that they put and too bad they don't come with a too-perfet package. She looks yucks. :bigyuck: She looks like white Indian, which kinda spoil the character.
If only they throw away A-Mei and his bro, the skinny girl who kept following Qing He, and kinda get rid of the idea of trying to make each character in F4 important (Vanness and Ken), I think the serial would be bearable to watch.
They drag the story in the first to the middle, and they rush out the ending. They actually was running out of budget since the shooting of the serials were running off schedule. So they kinda rush the ending, which totally spoil the whole story. :dry:
So anyone who watched MG1 and think it rocks, DON'T SPOIL IT BY WATCHING THE MG2.

Haha I already posted this long long series of gripes i had about MG2 under another forum, think it was MG - best mini series ever....
one quick thing though: if u hit the fast forward button each time ye sha appears, the series aint too bad after all.... :yeah: personal opinion though, but if anyone sits through a couple more discs, i pretty much guarantee that her giggle will REALLY get on your nerves...!!!
sum^mer:
i agree TOTALLY, COMPLETELY about what you said about Dao Ming Si and Hua Ze Lei!!!!!!!!!!!
i loved the cool Lei in MG1, and now they made him such a sleepy wimp who randomly appears out of nowhere to rescue shancai from the ridiculous scapes she gets herself into....and the kissing scene of SC and HZL at the end was soooo bad....
heh but if anyone watches Love Storm, his smooching skills improved dramatically there
:huglove:
DMS was a toughie on the outside, but a real softie inside in MG1, yet in MG2 he just totally lost it. period.
though i gotta say i kinda liked the vanness bit, its a nice distraction from the SC DMS Ye Sha Lei love quadrangle.....the ending where she played his fav song on the cello was pretty sweet!!! :angel:
though i gotta say the ken bits were majorly boring..... :bigyawn:
hm....this turned out to be not as short as i meant for it to be...ah well....and the emotion icons are pretty cool!! :harhar:

Roche: OMG!!!~, there's acutally more ppl than me that hates Ye Sha!!~ :bleh:
i thought that MGII wasn't that bad..if u like more comedy stuff,..then u mite like MGI better cuz MGII seemed more sad and serious. The WORST part of the whole thing was Ye Sha.... i have no idea why..but everything she does annoy me..and that laugh...arghh!~.. :oops: ..so annoying..she sounds like a PIGEON!!!!~
..i'd cry if i found out i laughed like her :cry: .... :bleh:

hm..this is really an old thread, i'm sure i posted somewhere in here before, but anyways..a.s i was reading through some of the recent posts...I agree with Summer about the characters. I love Lei, even more than dms, and i was fairly disappointed with him too, I was completely sucked into his mysterious aura, and the way he was always clever, wise, and calm with everything. Though i really did love the way he held back his feelings for San Chai when he knew she didn't love him that way, and that he protected her and helped her when she needed it, i was actually anticipating that from him, but it just turned out a little too much. He learnt to be bold about his feelings, which is, a good thing, but the way it was presented just doesn't appeal to me.
As for dms, i too, very much miss the old dms, the one that was blunt and charges at anything to get what he thought was worth it, he was loved because of that character, and though it's nice to see he's 'matured' as Summer said, it dulls everything, his fiery personality was, undeniably one of the most interesting and spicy character in MG.
But on the bright side, i wouldn't say it COMPLETELY ruined MG 1, because...well...real people grow up, and i guess that some of that reality was put into the story. This was a more depressing, and disappointing sequel to MG 1, but i think that if you look close enough, there's always something good in everything, and this is no exception. Through all this, Dms and San Chai, especially San Chai realized how much they needed each other, and it helped Lei realize that he cannot deny feelings sometimes.
So it wasn't that great, and a little bit of a drag to watch through, but all in all, i can honestly say i didn't regret i watched it, if that means anything.

I've watched it hehehe...it was good though....sadder than the first one :cry: and more mature coz they're all graduate and get out to work....i really feel sad for San Cai :cry: ....she cries alot in this MG2....Dao Ming Si was really hard on her :cry: he loves someone else and so....ummm i shouldnt tell the whole story right so it wont be exciting anymore :laughing: ok i jus wanna say its worth wwatching though....
F4 Rocks!!!!! :love:
i dont know...maybe im just really strange but i like yesha...the character michelle saram played...i think its really a shame that a lot of people hate her or dislike her so much now coz of her character in MG2...but what i dont really understand is why everyone hates yesha so much...aside from the fact that she's with dms the most part of MG2...her character's really very likeable...so light and happy all the time...so optimistic and always looks at the beatiful things in life...instead of the ugly ones...
but...yeah...i guess i could understand people hating her character...but some are just exaggerating a bit much...

but...yeah...i guess i could understand people hating her character...but some are just exaggerating a bit much...
I think the reason why pple (or if not others, at least myself) aren't particularly fond of yesha is coz:
1. Her giggle!!! Seriously, I think if you sit through the whole 31 discs(?) and her giggle doesn't get on your nerves, you have the temperance of a saint. I started off being neutral about her, but after awhile, her giggle (she does it every 2 minutes!) drove me nuts.... plus since i'm a lei fan :blush: i would be more than happy if yesha ended up with DMS -- haha then Lei can get SC!!! then again maybe not....it would have been a wierd ending if that happened :angel: !!!
though i did remember reading someplace that DMS was *supposed* to end up with yesha, just that too many fans wrote in to complain and then they changed the script so that DMS and SC would be together...not too sure if that's fact or fiction....
2. Don't you think that she's also kinda too good to be true? like you said, she's ever optimistic etc etc.....but i think she's overly self sacrificial.....seems too unreal....
ah well, but that's just my take on it :bleh:

I did finish the whole MG2 not too long ago. Bought the whole VCD and so on cause i thought it would be like the first one which was a really cool & funny show.
I was disappointed with the second story line just because Dao Ming Si seems very weak not like his usual angry and macho self :bleh: The story line is just slow but towards the end it got pretty good but it is definitely a challenge to get to the last VCD of the show.
:happy:

Yap the second one is bad. The movie is getting so boring. I watch the first one again and again. But the second one i won't repeated it. Fortuately iwatch it on VCD so it's not getting too long. But if you watch it on TV and it played once a week. Ahh, hen wu liao. I used too like the bad behavior of Tao Ming Tse but now he become one of the good guy. Hated. And I love Vanness to but he finally found his girl of a dream. Hated too. But why on the last episode it said to be continued. But i thought they not continued the series right?
hehehe...good point...
i wouldn't really know about her giggle though on account of MG2 is dubbed in my language here...so its a different voice im hearing...and i actually would have no problem if yesha ended up with dms on account of i think lei should be happy with the person he loves coz he just deserves it so much...
...but yeah...i guess yesha is too good to be true...but luckily...she's just a made-up character so they could make her as infinitely good as they want.

I just finished watching it. They were showing it in teh Bay Area. It wasn't as bad as people said it would be, but the acting was still horrible, and plot predictable. That YieSa girl was so annoying. Her accent annoyed the heck out of me. I wouldn't buy it on VCD though.

I've seen the first ten parts but then i stopped watching it. It wasnt as good as the first one. I didnt understand mandarin or cantonese so i just watch what they did. It just got really boring cuz i kept fast fowarding it and still he didnt gain his memory back. I got annoyed so i stop watching it. the first one was so much better.

Meteor Garden 2 really was a disappointment. It wasnt as funny as the first one and it was totally wrecked by that foreign woman. However the ending was quite sweet. I prefer Dao ming si as the Da shao ye than the loser guy with no memory and money...hehe sorry

just wondering, besides the first episode do you guys know what other episodes showed scenes of barcelona/spain?
roche: I think it does show spain after the first episode, "i think", they show doa ming si at the wine place and stuff but meteor garden 2 is a disappointment, i didnt really like it but i think jerry did a good actin job lol

oh i watched MG2 sometime back :-)
jerry did a good job acting?!??!
well...i didn't think so.
plus his character "ah xing" was so darn wimpy!!!
i mean, i never did like the arrogant, stubborn DMS (i was rooting for the caring, charming Lei the whole time :love: haha) but i liked him a lot better as "ah si" than "ah xing"
oh and im visiting barcelona soon, so i thought i'd rewatch the eps where they were in barcelona/spain so that i can give myself a lil "MG2" tour while im there!!!
but my vcds aren't with me, so i don't quite want to download everything again....
so i was planning on just downloading the ones with barcelona and spain in them...
wow ur goin spain!!!! so lucky!! well i dont have my vcds with me either so i cant tell u exactly where the scenes are at but u should go to a site where they tell u the summary of each episdoe so u can download the ones u want :)

MG2 sucks. Dont' watch it. MG1 was pretty good and funny to me...maybe cuz it originated from a comic....but the 2nd series they just made it up from scratch, and its really boring. Haha just my opinion tho.
Darkness, you can DL using BT from d-addicts.com

ahh i remember Meteor Garden I and II.. it's what first got meh interested in the chinese entertainment circle...and i still have 25-31 episodes of MG II on my shelf gathering dust :)
i think the first series was better.. the second series was a bit of a let down but i suppose MG I was real hard to beat anyway
my obsession with MG (and F4) was phenomenal :sweat: ...deary me
and err.. they air Meteor Garden in Spain? o.0

I finally got to watch MG2 and yes, MG1 was better. It was too slow in MG2... Maybe it's the purpose, but I was fed up to never see San Cai and Dao Ming Si together most of the episodes lol! Too much Ye Sha, not because she's San Cai's rival, just we see her too much compared to San Cai who is the main character...

I saw the Meteor Garden 2, and I was heartbroken. I recommend you read the manga instead. That's the original. Meteor Garden 2 is part of the whole storyline if you compare it to the manga. I guess it would be kind of incomplete if you didn't watch it, but it is kind of disappointing.

MG 2 can never be better than MG1. But I liked the love story between Vaness and the cello girl :-) The Doraemon theme song played by a cello sounds really cute!

Wow. Meteor Garden 2. Its like ages.. I think the drama is nice also. I think 2 is not as good as 1 is because they tend to drag the show. And maybe left out too much details..
