Dao Ming Si and Shan Cai becomes inseparable during the trip. Just before Shan Cai and Si leave for Spain, Hua Ze Lei gave Ah Si an envelope with a "smart advice" in it. When Ah Si opens the envelope, he finds that the advice from Hua Ze Lei was to ask Shan Cai to marry him in an old church with a legend. Dao Ming Si buys a "Meteor Ring" which Shan Cai had her eyes on, and prepares to propose to her in a church that had special meanings of "love".
However, on the way to the church, Dao Ming Si gets into a car accident which had causes him to lose his memory. He met Ye Sha at that time, who helps him and looks after him. The sudden disappearance of Ah Si causes Shan Cai to worry, so she asks Jing to help her. The other three members of F4 also came to Spain immediately after they hear the news.
What follows is a story full of ups and downs as Shan Cai tries to find Dao Ming Si and help him regain his memory.
In this continued story of Meteor Garden, the love story of Xi Men and Mei Zuo are shown. The reason why Xi Men is such a playboy is revealed, as well as Mei Zuo's own love story since he was in elementary school. (Taken for DramaWiki)


Review:


There's really not that much to say about the sequel. I just find it very boring and lacking any realism. Who would actually forget all of his memories so quickly? The story in the middle of the series became more interesting. I just wish that he had remembered about Shan Cai a little sooner, instead of making so many episodes about his new love Ye Sha (who was later to be revealed as a princes). Ye Sha had an illness that could kill her, but Dao Ming Si still went to Shan Cai, which I find really cute. lol, true love never dies ;) But it did make the episodes for this season extend a bit more. The ending could have used some help, which goes back to my previous statement of the Japanese/Korean versions to have better and more worth while ending than the Taiwanese version. It was cute to have Dao Ming Si remember all of a sudden about all the hurt he has done to Shan Cai, then them being together again. Vic Zhou looked way better in "Silence" but when his character feel in love with Shan Cai, it made me really hope that he would end up with Shan Cai instead of Dao Ming Si taking her away from him again. I kept thinking that my poor Hua Ze Lei will never find his own love :( I actually thought that he was going to marry his childhood (who was older) friend, but that completely ruined the story when she didn't accept him. In the end though, Hua Ze Lei became happy just because Shan Cai was happy, I guess friendship is more important even though he loved Shan Cai that much. If I had known that the ending was only going to be that lame, I would have just watched the first season and end it right there. But if you're willing to want to watch the sequel, there's no stopping you :)
