Synopsis and Plot Summary
An ordinary girl is admitted to the most prestigious school in the country where she encounters F4, the four wealthiest and most handsome boys in the school.
Shan Cai is an 18-year-old girl from a family that's barely able to make ends meet. Due to a turn of events, she gets accepted into a school that only accepts the upper class elites. She immediately clashes with her classmates especially Dao Ming Si who is spoiled, arrogant and a bully. She remains defiant even after becoming a target of a series of pranks intended to torment her and just when she's about to give up, Hua Ze Lei always seems to show up to lend her a helping hand.
Eventually, the four boys begin to acknowledge Shan Cai's unyielding personality that is like her namesake which is that of a weed that can never be brought down. She also begins to see the good in the boys, which paves the way for friendship and an eventual romance.

Fun Facts
- Sixteen years after the Taiwanese drama starring Barbie Hsu, Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu and Vanness Wu became a certified hit, Producer Angie Chau announced in April 2017 that a remake is in the works.
- On November 6, the new F4 was announced as they got together for a photoshoot with Harper's Bazaar.
- The four boys have an average age and height of 21 years old and 185 cm making them the youngest and tallest F4 out of the other popular drama adaptations.
- While Meteor Garden was airing, the F4 were invited to watch Wimbledon in England. Dylan Wang, Caesar Wu and Darren Chen ran into Tom Holland and they took a selfie together.
- Barbie Hsu's younger sister Dee Hsu plays the role of Dao Mingsi's older sister.
- Wang Lin and Amber Kuo also make a special appearance in the drama.
- Filming took place in England and China.
- The drama initially aired six episodes weekly from Monday to Wednesday. Beginning July 16, the schedule was changed to air eight episodes per week.
- Shen Yue revealed that after she was selected as Shan Cai, she ran around the neighborhood in pajamas from excitement. Afterwards, she called her parents and her friends to share the news.
- In the 2001 version of Meteor Garden, Harlem Yu appeared as a singer towards the end of the drama. He appears in the same manner in the remake to sing his hit song Qing Fei De Yi.
- Penny Dai who sang the ending theme song Ni Yao De Ai in the 2001 version of Meteor Garden rearranges the song to make a new version for the remake.
- In one scene when Dao Mingsi was sick in bed, Shen Yue's line was supposed to be, "Dao Mingsi wake up, I don't want you to die." Instead, she mistakenly said, "Huaze Lei wake up, I don't want you to die."
- Darren Chen though it would be easy doing a headstand for the drama but because the crew had to film from many angles, his hands would start shaking. He also had to emote which ended up quite hard.
- It broke past 1% in tv ratings and reached 100 million views online within 12 hours of its release.
