The film is based on the famous Japanese manga "Hana Yori Dango", which became famous throughout Asia after its broadcast.
Barbie Hsu
Conquering Asian audiences through her role as Sam Thai in "Meteor Garden", Barbie Hsu became a top star in Asia. In the 2000s, the actress was a popular advertising face in Taiwan (China), and was dubbed a "national treasure".
After "Meteor Garden", Barbie Hsu continued to consolidate her position, participating in many films such as "Please Don't Hang Up", "Sword Dance", "Summer Bubble", "Unexpected Happiness", "The King's Adventure"... In 2006, she entered the international market with "Silk", which premiered at the 59th Cannes Film Festival.
At the peak of her career, in 2011, Barbie Hsu decided to marry Wang Xiaofei. After 10 years, the actress and her husband decided to divorce.
In March 2022, Barbie Hsu remarried DJ Koo (Koo Jun Yup) - her ex-boyfriend from 20 years ago. The two moved in together but did not have a wedding or have children. The actress also stepped back to take care of her family and no longer participates in entertainment activities.
Recently, on the morning of February 3, Chinese media reported that actress Dai S - Barbie Hsu passed away due to flu and pneumonia during a trip to Japan.
Jerry Yan
The role of Dao Minh Tu in "Meteor Garden" helped Jerry Yan "rise" to become a top screen star. From a new actor entering the entertainment industry, Jerry Yan left his mark with the image of an arrogant, wealthy young master, conquering the hearts of the audience.
After “Meteor Garden” became a hit, Jerry Yan joined the group F4 with 3 male actors. They quickly became international stars, organizing many tours around the world. From here, the actor born in 1977 joined the group of top artists of the management company.
Besides their careers, the love story of Jerry Yan and Lin Chi-ling also attracted public attention. The couple's love story that lasted more than 10 years ended with many regrets.
Currently, Lin Chi-ling has "settled down", while Jerry Yan is still single, his career is gradually fading. In recent years, the male artist has reduced the frequency of his musical activities, mainly participating in movies but has not had any outstanding roles.
In 2021, Jerry Yan participated in "Call Me By Fire" and received the love of the audience.
At the age of 48, Thua Huc is still young, stylish, and is the ideal model of many people.
Zhou Yu Min
The success of "Meteor Garden" raised Chau Du Dan's reputation. After the movie, he continued to make his mark in the fields of acting and music.
In addition to the role of Hoa Trach Loai, Chau Du Dan also affirmed his position with characters in "Where love begins", "Love storm", "God of war"...
In recent years, Zhou Yu Min has shown signs of decline when shifting to the mainland market. The projects "Liet huo ru ca", "Dai Tong cung tu"... were not very successful.
Most recently, in 2024, he took on the leading role in the film "Another Blue", collaborating with Song Qian.
Regarding his personal life, Zhou Yu Min married actress Yu Hong Yuan in 2015 and welcomed his first daughter in 2017. Their married life is quite private, unlike the noise when they dated the two late actresses Barbie Hsu and Hua Wei Lun.
Ngo Kien Hao
The role of My Tac, played by Ngo Kien Hao, is a favorite role in "Meteor Garden". He became a new star in the Chinese entertainment industry and gradually affirmed his position through the films "Where Love Begins", "The Next Stop is Happiness"...
After moving to Mainland China to develop, Ngo Kien Hao's career has somewhat declined. Besides "The Legend of Fuyao", the actor has not had many highlights when participating in other works.
But in the music field, Kien Hao is active. The star born in 1978 is a judge on "Asia's Got Talent 2015", "Street Dance of China 2019", "Mask Dancer 2021"... At the same time, he also has a good source of income from the fashion business.
In his personal life, Ngo Kien Hao had a tumultuous marriage with "Singaporean billionaire daughter" Thach Trinh Thien. After 5 years of living together, the couple divorced in 2018, without any disputes over children or property.
Chu Hieu Thien
After "Meteor Garden", Chu Hieu Thien received great affection from the audience thanks to his romantic appearance. He continued to participate in many other popular projects such as "Love Storm", "New So Luu Huong"... However, Chu Hieu Thien's later films were quite bland and did not leave an impression.
At the age of 30, changes in appearance caused Chu Hieu Thien to gradually leave the entertainment industry.
It wasn't until 2018 that Chu Hieu Thien made his condition public. The actor has a rare genetic disease so he chose to retire early, only participating in a few small singing shows, and limiting his public appearances.
In recent years, Chu Hieu Thien has switched to business, but suffered losses due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, he decided to accept advertising for brands and livestream sales on social networks to earn extra income.
In his personal life, Chu Hieu Thien is married to Han Van Van. The two chose not to have children to avoid passing on a rare disease.
