Dow-Ming-Sez & Shan-Tsai's Chastity
originally posted on Tuesday, April the 2nd, 2002


The thing impresses me the most in &quot;Meteor Garden&quot; is how highly both Dow-Ming-Sez and Shan-Tsai value their virginity.

In the beginning of chapter 2, Shan-Tsai roared to Dow-Ming-Sez on the campus lawn,

&quot;I never had any abortions! I am still a virgin!&quot;

After she'd had the wrong impression that the graffiti on the blackboard of her classroom had been done by Dow-Ming-Sez's men.

This was the time we the audiences and Dow-Ming-Sez got to know about it, and we all believed it (or I should say we all believed her) instantly. Especially for Dow-Ming-Sez, it seemed to be a very precious message...

We the audiences had a feeling back then that this might be a hint to a major storyline, for they seldom make clear about this point in any love stories nowadays; and also we don't care much about it, regardless if the heroines are in high-school, college, or out in the workplace; i.e., if they are in their teens, 20's or 30's...

Then in the middle of chapter 3, after See-Men and a lady companion, Mei-Zuo, Bi-Hur and Chien-Whei had all been awaken by Dow-Ming-Sez in the middle of the night, and came out of their cabins in their pajamas to the deck of the cruise ship, only to find that heDow-Ming-Sez was doing nothing but making sashimi of the fish he and Chin-Hur had caught...

Mei-Zuo looked surprised, &quot;You should have had other things to do (on a night like this)...&quot;

Then See-Men teased, &quot;That's why I hate virgins (referring to Dow-Ming-Sez, since he didn't have any other things to do)...&quot;

Dow-Ming-Sez looked embarrassed, &quot;How could I have been with women I don't like...&quot;

That's the moment we the audiences and Shan-Tsai got to know about it for the first time, but it seemed that Bi-Hur and Chien-Whei cared more about the news than Shan-Tsai did at that time, for her mind was preoccupied by the scene she had happened to see between Hwa-Sze Lei and Ton-Tuang Jean by Ton-Tuang Jean's cabin moments ago.

At that point in time, we the audiences were definitely aware of the importance of this issue in the drama!

I could only talk about how the scriptwriters and the director have portrayed in the drama &quot;Meteor Garden&quot;, for I never read the original comic books, and I had no idea how Ms. Youko Kamio set up the storyline on this issue since she first started the comics in 1992.

It might be common for a girl in her junior year in high school (or junior year in college in the drama) to be chaste; but I find it unusual for a wealthy heir as Dow-Ming-Sez with all the temptations around him, but still has the determination to save himself for the girl he really loves, especially if he has been around with close friends like playboy See-Men and Mei-Zuo. I know as a fact that some parents in the upper class even contract nice college girls to &quot;be&quot; with their sons exclusively... How could we not appreciate Dow-Ming-Sez's &quot;sense&quot; on this issue?

With the progress of the drama, we watched Dow-Ming-Sez cried with broken heart standing on the floor above, looking at Shan-Tsai walked to the windows downstairs, believing she had been with Hwa-Sze Lei already in the guest room the night before... (chapter 7)

We also watched Dow-Ming-Sez glowed with enthusiasm, and seemed to change totally to a new person, when he's standing by Shan-Tsai's apartment, watching her coming home from work, after he flew back from New York in just two days knowing Shan-Tsai did not give herself to Hwa-Sze Lei in the guest room that night after all... (chapter 8)

I think somehow he knew from that moment in time that there's a space for him in Shan-Tsai's heart regardless of her feelings towards Hwa-Sze Lei; and I believe he never doubted it ever since.

That's why he didn't ask Shan-Tsai if she and Hwa-Sze Lei were actually together the night before in Sheau-Sze's hot spring villa, when he happened to walk to the yard in the villa very early in the morning the next day, only to find her sitting there alone... He himself had just rejected Sheau-Sze the night before, and decided that he would not give up his love to Shan-Tsai no matter what. (chapter 11)

Then came my favorite scene in the entire drama...

She looked very surprised to see him in the yard so early in the morning, since she assumed he had been with Sheau-Sze the whole night...

He sat down timidly to her right at a distance,

&quot;You...&quot; he mumbled...

&quot;What's the matter?&quot; she asked.

&quot;Why did you get up so early?&quot; he continued... &quot;Didn't you sleep well last night?&quot;

&quot;Not exactly...&quot; she replied.

&quot;Oh, is that so...?&quot; he added.

(It shows clearly here that Miss Hsu and Jerry express their emotions of the characters perfectly with just the tone of their voices... I also admire the scriptwriters and the director on the interpretation of this scene with enough reservation but tremendous tension between the two. I don't think any love scenes between them could ever top this one, for it's so beautifully orchestrated as if they would had experienced their first time together!)

Later on also in chapter 11, we watched Shan-Tsai burst into tears on Hwa-Sze Lei's back thinking she had lost Dow-Ming-Sez, since she'd witnessed Sheau-Sze had been on top of Dow-Ming-Sez when she'd rushed in their room the night before.

We then watched Shan-Tsai bravely declared war to Dow-Ming-Sez's mom with great spirits after learning from Sheau-Sze that nothing had happened between her and Dow-Ming-Sez in the villa that night. (chapter 12)

These scenes in chapter 11 & 12 are crucial to their relationship as Dow-Ming-Sez finally realized that he simply couldn't try to play pretence with any women he didn't love, since his body and soul were already joined closely together for his one and only love Shan-Tsai; and Shan-Tsai's shocked to find out she actually cared for Dow-Ming-Sez's body and soul altogether after all :-) And she couldn't possibly imagine herself to be with anyone else...

From this point in time, their love was recognized and matured, and they could never separate their body and soul even though they both knew they might not be able to stay together for long...


We probably would never experience such a fairy-tale romance in our life time, yet we could absolutely be in control of our body, and make sure we don't let it be used by the weak inner self to test our love for someone, or to play games with fools. We are capable of owning a version of a beautiful love story of our own anytime anywhere, as long as we put our soul into it, and let our sense lead our body.

&quot;道明寺与杉菜的雨&quot;
Dow-Ming-Sez & Shan-Tsai's Rain
originally posted on Thursday, April the 4th, 2002


It was the rain... and an umbrella that brought Shan-Tsai to Dow-Ming-Sez for their very first date... after four hours. (chapter 4)

It was the rain... and all the locked doors that gave them their very first night together... with clothes on, of course. (chapter 4)

It was the rain that witnessed their heart-breaking good-bye in the mass transit station after Dow-Ming-Sez slapped Shan-Tsai's face, for he was very disappointed that she had lost faith in their future after spending just one day shopping with Sheau-Sze. (chapter 10)

It was only the raindrops, which touched Shan-Tsai's face right after Dow-Ming-Sez left, got to know how much she regretted what she just said... And she started to realize that the rain might be sent from God to tell them to stop these painful fights! (chapter 10)

It was those raindrops again that enabled us to watch one of the most stunning poses of Dow-Ming-Sez's (or should I say Jerry's)... He was slowly sitting down by the edge of the bed, putting his straightened right arm down to hold his weight, curving his right foot, and then laying his head on the wall... after he came back to his room without saying anything to F3 downstairs, looking at his right hand, which hit Shan-Tsai moments ago, and feeling terribly sorry for what he had done... (chapter 10)

I only wish I could have been one of the raindrops in Dow-Ming-Sez's hair...

It was the pouring rain (and also many cats and dogs) that gave us this memorable scene... Shan-Tsai was standing by the entrance gate of Dow-Ming-Sez's mansion with all her things packed, and telling him that she could no longer be with him, for his mom had been attacking her dearest friends'... Sheau-U's and Chin-Hur's families... (chapter 14)

It was this wettest scene between them that allowed us to start realizing how hard-working they all had been for all those long months shooting the drama, and... we got to know that Jerry used to wear contacts!

It was the last rain we saw in the drama that brought them back together, after Shan-Tsai decided to echo Dow-Ming-Sez's determination, and stood alone outside Dow-Ming-Sez's mansion for as long as it would take.

When night approached, also came the rain shooting down from God...

Inside the chandeliered living room of the mansion...

&quot;Why are you still so blind to the truth here? Do you really know who this person is that has been lying there upstairs for days? It's no one but your son!&quot;

&quot;He is still that young, and there are so many possibilities waiting ahead of him... Why do you have to make decisions for him at this early stage of his young life?&quot;

The remarks from Dow-Ming-Sez's sister worked on Mom, temporarily...

And I keep wondering what had happened to the light blue jacket of Shan-Tsai's after she put it on Dow-Ming-Sez to keep him warm by the stairs of the 12th floor, and he still had it on right before he stepped into the taxi the next morning after the very first rain...


Maybe the taxi driver had it!
