I watched this film after I had discovered c-drama The Rational Life featuring Dylan Wang on Netflix. In the course I also learned a lot about the Japanese manga and various remakes of the story. I enjoyed the 2018 version Meteor Garden because I found it a reasonably well rounded rom-com with attractive leads, good humour, good music, fashion and story. Looking past various film making techniques "typical" to c-dramas, I would say that in terms of directing and producing this film stands out among countless c-dramas and the lead actor Dylan Wang did a good job in portraying the character rather than just serving as a doll on set.
