Prestasi manga Hana Yori Dango karya Kamio Yoko yang diadaptasi menjadi dorama di Taiwan, Jepang, dan Korea Selatan (dan China walaupun tidak mendapat lisensi dari penerbit Jepang Shueisha) tentunya tidak lepas dari prestasi penjualan manganya yang laku 54 juta copy.

Sebenarnya, jauh sebelum era F4 Taiwan, Hana Yori Dango telah diadaptasi menjadi film layar lebar di tahun 1995 (dibintangi oleh Tanihara Shosuke, Uchida Yuki, dan Naohito Fujiki). Hingga akhirnya produser versi Taiwan Angie Chai dan sutradara Cai Yuexun berkolaborasi dan merilis Meteor Garden di tahun 2001. Sejak saat itu, Jepang dan Korea Selatan seakan tidak mau ketinggalan dan mencoba mengadaptasi kisah Cinderella modern ini.
