Wasn’t this the actual one that they promoted on Meteor Garden?
Yes, Meteor Garden is based on the japanese manga Hana Yori Dango or Boys Over Flowers. All derivative formats of F4, boys over flower and the like are based on that original story which brought a lot of hype to this format.
There are so incarnations of the F4/Boys over flowers story. Dramas, webtoons, and mangas. I say if you've seen one, you've seen practically all of them.
