As you may or may not know, Meteor Garden won't be available on Netflix starting from the 30th of November. Of course, I'm weak and couldn't resist watching it again. My story with this drama is pretty simple : it's the first Chinese drama I've ever watched and one my first dramas. I watched it in 2020, 2 years after it was released. And I loved it. I watched it again, sometimes only some parts. Anyway, Meteor Garden holds a special place in my heart.

But now that I grew up and that im not a middle school student, I changed a lot and and the drama did too.

*" I would never force a women to do anything"
If Si says this honorable sentence in episode 8, he doesn't quite respect it. Indeed he kisses Chancai by force multiple times and enterprises physical contact with her without consent many times, sometimes with violence ( episode 3 ). Not to mention Lei also kisses her without her consent.

* "Lei became a real man"
toxic masculinity in the drama

Being "a real man" means hanging out with girls Lei doesn't like ( no offense kiki ), and drowning his heartbreak into women and alcohol.

* getting out of " the shadows of autistic"

" I was a bit autistic " autism can't be cured
