Asianovela | Meteor Garden started it all
Asianovela is the common slang word we use here in the Philippines for dubbed South Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Taiwanese TV series.
Do you know that the first ever asianovela shown in the country is not Meteor Garden of ABS-CBN? Yes, contrary to what is commonly perceive that it was in the popular Taiwanese Drama Meteor Garden where the slang coined the asianovela slang, actually Amazing Twins, a Taiwanese TV series on IBC-13 started it in 2002. But the popularity of Asianovela heightened only during on 2003, thanks to Meteor Garden.
Yeah, who would forget the F4 fever? I love Dao Ming Zhu, in fact I still have one of his life size portrait up to now. Funny indeed, we are so insanely caught up with the F4 mania or the Meteor Garden Mania at that time. But it was a wonderful memory that we will never forget!  Thanks F4 and San Chai…
