* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: In the Italian version of the anime, named [[CompletelyDifferentTitle Mille emozioni tra le pagine del destino per Marie-Yvonne]] (A Thousand Emotions Between the Pages of Destiny for Marie-Yvonne), in which Makino is named [[DubNameChange Marie-Yvonne]], the title song sung by Cristina D'Avena sounds quite close to the Music/BritneySpears song "Sometimes".

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In-universe, in the live-action. In the first season, Rui incites an F4 brawl by pretending to have feelings for Makino to test Tsukasa's own feelings for her. When it's over, he warns Tsukasa that if he ever hurts Makino, Rui "won't hold back," implying he'll beat him up again. Everyone laughs it off. Come second season, when Rui unrepentantly admits he kissed her, he reminds Tsukasa of those words. Rui really ''was'' in love with Makino back then, and by not holding back, he meant that if Tsukasa screwed up Rui would pursue her for himself.

Bastard Boyfriend has been rehauled into Fetishized Abuser (for then the narrative portrays an abuser as sexually desirable). Otherwise, it's an example of Domestic Abuser. If both people display toxic behaviors, it's Romanticized Abuse. If the romantic partner is an unpleasant person but not outright abusive, then they are just a Jerk Ass.

He constantly slaps Tsukushi around, attempts to rape Tsukushi four times over the course of the series and breaks the neck of one of Tsukushi's friends out of jealousy. Notably, all the drama adaptations cut out a huge amount of his jerkass behavior and tone down his insensitivity.

The 2001 ''Meteor Garden'' series in particular was credited for popularising the so-called "Asianovela" trend in the Philippines during the early 2000s, where the two major TV networks in the country started airing Asian dramas in an effort to emulate the success of ''Meteor Garden''. Creator/{{ABSCBN}} even went so far as to inviting the members of F4 to hold concerts in the Philippines, though only half of the pair was present in each of their appearances in the country. Former F4 member Ken Chu later went on to co-star alongside Filipina actress Iza Calzado in the 2007 film ''Batanes''.
