Taiwanese wave

Taiwanese wave (traditional Chinese: 臺流; pinyin: Táiliú; Japanese: 台流; rōmaji: Tairyū) is a neologism originally coined in Japan to refer to the increase in the popularity of Taiwanese popular culture in the country (including: actors, dramas, music, fashion, films), and to distinguish it from the Korean wave (Korean: 한류; RR: Hallyu) co-existing in Japan.

In 2001, the Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden (an adaptation of the Japanese manga series Boys Over Flowers by Yoko Kamio) was released and soon attracted audiences from all over the region.

[5] Their popularity spread throughout Asia, including China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines.

[8][9] Since 2002, television programming trends in Southeast Asia began to undergo a drastic change as TV series from Taiwan filled the slot originally reserved for Hollywood movies during prime time.

This phenomenon is called 台流 (pronounced Tairyū) in Japanese, which literally means the influx of Taiwanese pop culture in Japan.
