The drama told the story of a girl from a working-class background navigating life with four wealthy and spoiled boys, which quickly captured hearts across Asia and popularized the "idol drama" genre, sparking numerous adaptations in various countries. The band's initial split in 2009 led them to reunite briefly for a performance in 2013, but Saturday’s concert marked a heartfelt return to the stage as part of Mayday’s show, which is often compared to The Beatles for its impact on the music scene in Asia.
Clad in camaraderie, F4 also joined Mayday to perform the band’s own track, "The Song of Laughter and Forgetting." Mayday’s frontman Ashin revealed the efforts behind reuniting the group and shared the emotional significance of the moment, while Jerry Yan reflected on their shared history, expressing immense gratitude to Mayday for making the reunion a reality. As the members, now in their 40s, continue to thrive in the entertainment industry, fans are buzzing with excitement, urging F4 to embark on a full concert tour soon, echoing sentiments of their cherished childhood memories. Speculation about a potential concert next year, celebrating 25 years since their debut, is also making rounds in local media, though it remains unconfirmed by the artists or their representatives.
