F4 rose to immense fame through the hit Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden, which became a cultural phenomenon across Asia in the early 2000s. The series premiered in the Philippines on ABS-CBN in May 2003.
The drama starred Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu, and the late Barbie Hsu.
In the series, Jerry played Dao Ming Si, the charismatic yet hot-headed leader of F4. Raised with the belief that wealth and power could solve any problem, Dao Ming Si initially clashes with Shan Cai (Barbie) because of her fearless and outspoken personality. Despite their rocky start, their constant encounters eventually lead to an unexpected romance.
