Meteor Garden (2018)

It was ok for about a couple of episodes until I reached that horrible and terrifying rooftop scene. After that I couldn't continue the series. I watched the next episode hoping that they were going to address the sexual assault and sadly they continued on like nothing happened. I'm fully aware of the Boy's over Flowers legacy and heard how it was even worse in the manga, but still this is 2018 they could of done something different and omit those horrendous scenes. As someone stated earlier, this drama was a huge letdown when comparing Shen Yue's role in A Love so Beautiful, which was a lovey and relatable show that allowed the main female lead to grow into her own person.

My expectations were way too high. TW: Don't read if you don't criticism well.

Before I dive in, here are some things I want to stress about a 10/10 drama for me. It has to be captivating from beginning to end; it has to have a high rewatch value; it has to not have a part where I want to spam the "skip 10 seconds "button. <-These are just some of my standards. I am someone who doesn't like recommendations as I get expectations. Other than Untamed, I got high recommendations for this drama.

I don't know if the reason I don't like this dramas is because my standards have been raised my K-dramas (I just started writing reviews so you won't find that many reviews for K-dramas). I recently heard that there were three versions of the drama (Korean, Chinese, Japanese). The Korean version, Boys over Flowers, is on my watchlist, but I have heard very split opinions on it (either very good or very bad). As one of my few watched C-dramas, I wouldn't say I'm particularly fond of the amount of episodes in C-dramas. I prefer the Korean standard: 16 episodes, 1 hour long each. As for the story, I wouldn't say it's half bad. It was VERY predictable for the five episodes that I watched though I might have judged it early. It's the typical "short poor average girl with tall handsome rich dude" storyline. The main reason why I dropped this title is because I came for Dylan Wang, but his character's personality [and hairstyle] was complete trash. I am currently watching another title with the female lead: A Love so Beautiful (which I think I will drop soon). Though C-dramas are known to be the most realistic of the three genres (K-dramas, J-dramas. C-dramas), I found this so CRINGE and not realistic AT ALL.
