Meteor Garden II (Chinese: 流星花園II; pinyin: Liúxīng Huāyuán II) is a 2002 Taiwanese drama starring Barbie Shu and F4: Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Vanness Wu, and Ken Chu. While it is a sequel to the 2001 television series Meteor Garden,[1] which is based on the Japanese manga series Hana Yori Dango (花より男子, Boys Over Flowers), Meteor Garden II is an original series that is not based on the manga. It was produced by Comic Ritz International Production with Angie Chai (柴智屏) as producer and directed by Wang Ming-tai.

The series was broadcast in Taiwan on free-to-air Chinese Television System (CTS) (華視) from 11 November to 25 December 2002.[2] The prequel Meteor Garden was broadcast from 12 April to 16 August 2001 and a supplementary mini-series, Meteor Rain, was produced in 2001 and broadcast following the main series. This is the second live-action television adaptation of the manga, following its prequel Meteor Garden and followed by Japanese Hana Yori Dango, its sequel Hana Yori Dango Returns, South Korean Boys Over Flowers, and Thai F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers. However, it follows an original story penned by writer-producer Angie Chai when the rights to use the F4 name was extended.
