Another “Hana Yori Dango”

Another “Hana Yori Dango” is in the works. And this time it’s going to be set in China.

Chinese network Hunan TV reported of a possible remake of the famed Japanese comics. According to them, this version will most likely resemble the storyline of the Taiwanese drama “Meteor Garden” and will be set in either Xiamen or Shanghai.

Released in 2001, “Meteor Garden” was the first drama adaptation of “Hana Yori Dango”. This series launched the idol group F4 and its members Jerry Yan, Vaness Wu, Vic Zhou, and Ken Chu into complete stardom. In 2005, Japan produced their own version with boyband member Matsu Jun and Oguri Shun as its lead flower boys. And if you have not heard yet, the latest adaptation if this series is the Korean “Boys Over Flowers” starring Lee Minho and SS501’s Hyunjoong.

As with all the other remakes, producers of this Chinese drama are also looking into tapping popular idol group members to be their F4. Hankyung of Super Junior and Chinese popstar Yu Haoming are thrown into that list while actress Ariel Lin from the hit drama “It started with a Kiss” is rumored to take on the role of Makino/San Cai.
