SYNOPSIS
F4 (JVKV) - 流星雨 Liúxīngyǔ (Meteor Rain)
This mini drama is made up of three sections: Mei Zuo's chapter, Xi Men's chapter, and Dao Ming Si's chapter. These stories happened at different times -- before, during, and after the Meteor Garden.

Mei Zuo's Chapter
Ai Sha, a Japanese girl struggling to live in Taiwan, tried to rob Mei Zuo. Initially hesitant to confide in Mei Zuo, Ai Sha eventually shares that she's in Taiwan to look for her grandmother. She thinks that the best way to find her grandmother is by joining a televised dance contest. Mei Zuo agrees to help Ai Sha by being her dance partner for the contest.

Xi Men's Chapter
Shan Cai's friend Xiao Yu comes back from Canada to confess her feelings to Xi Men but he rejects her. Xi Men confesses that he had been in love with someone else named Xiao Geng in the past but because of his cowardice, things did not work out. Xiao Geng asked Xi Men to go with her somewhere to share something special with him but he did not show up. Xiao Yu attempts to find out what Xiao Geng wanted to share with Xi Men.

Dao Ming Si's Chapter
Dao Ming Si jumps off a train to escape from the police. Xin Xin finds him unconscious on the beach. Ah Yuan, presumably Xin Xin's father, temporarily takes in Dao Ming Si. Xin Xin does not talk because she was traumatized by something that happened to her in the past but she and Dao Ming Si quickly bond.

REVIEW
My favorite part of Meteor Rain is Xi Men's story with Xiao Yu.
