The main actor and actress are so good in this drama. Are they dating in real life? Their on-screen chemistry is amazing. Will there be a Season 2? Tell me a Season 2 of Meteor Garden is coming!
An hour and a half later, after researching Meteor Garden and everything to do with Meteor Garden, her husband interrupted her internet sleuthing: "Hi love, what's going on?"
"Angie Chai is a genius."
"Who?"
"Angie Chai. She is the producer."
"Of Moon Garden?"
"Meteor Garden." He had misspoken the name of the drama often enough that it was instinctive for her to correct him. "Yes, she is the producer of Meteor Garden, and she was also the producer of the 2001 Taiwanese version. She hand-picked the main cast for the recent Meteor Garden. They were all inexperienced, so she basically picked people who wouldn't really have to act. They could mainly play themselves."
"Uh huh." She could tell that once again, he had stopped paying attention. The irony was that he was actually the one who had gotten her to begin watching Meteor Garden, but when he found out there were close to 50 episodes, he immediately stopped watching.
"No one has time for that!" he had exclaimed.
That's okay, love. Not everyone can understand the magic of Meteor Garden.

There was a thread about when Diyue shippers first thought that Diyue or Dyshen was real.
She began shipping them pretty early on, and the behind-the-scenes footage of Meteor Garden, their interactions at The Inn 2, their magazine shoot for ICON Magazine, and his post this past September with the moon for the Mid-Autumn Festival only cemented her conviction.
Just the thought of Didi and YueYue together made her feel happy. Was it because their love was so young and pure? They just felt so right together.
It may not be your time to reveal your relationship yet, kiddos, but just know that you have a lot of fans and support from around the world when you do.

"Shen Yue?" He had picked up on the first ring.
"Hi, Didi."
"You're calling late. Miss me?" He loved teasing her, but he was so glad to finally hear from her.
"You think too much." She smiled as she stretched in bed. "Ni ni ni nemo," she said softly, recalling their days from the Inn.
She could feel the pang of not having him next to her and as soon as she said those words, she heard the silence on the other line.
"Not when you're not with me," he replied. "What is keeping Strong Strong up?" He tried to keep the conversation light.
"I just needed to hear your voice."
"What da faaaaa?"
His words had the intended effect. She broke out laughing. To him, it was the best sound in the world. Her laughter made him forget their distance and made the world feel as if everything is the way it should be.
"Good night, Didi." He could hear the smile in her voice and felt what she didn't say.
"Goodnight, Shen Yue." My moon.
