    Question Marmalade Boy

    I've heard that there's a live action series of the manga/anime Marmalade Boy staring the F4 in it I believe or at least some of them. Anyways, I was wondering if anybody had any info on it and where I could buy it from if you can tell me if possible, thanks I'd really appreciate it!

    Talking Thanks!

    Thank you SO much! Anyways, do you have any info on the story too? Like does it go along well with the anime. Or if you didn't see it that's okay too! Well altogether thanks!

    Just wanted to bump this...and not make a new thread.

    I just started watching this. I know it's old, but I LOVED the manga. So far, it's the typical Taiwanese drama, exaggerated acting, overly cute, but it's alright.

    Anyone else seen this?

    I saw it... However, i thought Ken was a lil too old to play Yui. Yui is suppose to be 16-17 ish? It was an ok series
    I prefer the manga

    Ken? Wasn't it Vanness? Or are they the same...I'm confused. Lol..

    But I think he looks the age so it's OK. He was a HS student in MG! lol

    The manga was GREATTTTT

    It was Ken. Vaness was in Peach Girl, another manga i liked

    In MG, actually, they changed the plotline to F4 being in college, not HS. All of them were 21 ish.. not 18

    Mmm Peach Girl. How was that series? The manga was pretty good.

    Really? It totally looked like high school...I guess I just took the original ideas from the manga.

    Wasn't Marmalade Boy made before MG though? So Ken would be younger right?

    Yeah, it was in a college since tawian is conservative. The things that F4 did and sexual connotations were a No NO for HS kids to do.. so they put up the age. PRoducers did the same for Mars too, Rei (Ling played Vic) was 21, not 17, like in the manga.

    Peach GIrls was cursed with terrible acting. Vanness was NOT Kiley for me. Annie Wu was alright for Momo.. but really flat acting in here.

    Loved the manga tho


    and I believe Marmalade Boys was shot AFTER MG. I think that when KEn was scouted for MG, he was really a nobody cause they found him at restaurant or something. I think after MG, he got a bit of fame and began to shoot other series

    I watched both: Marmelade Boy and Peach Girl. No offense but they are the worse dramas I have seen. I mean when I watch them, they looked ok, but now I have seen lot's of very great dramas and MB and PG don't seem good anymore.

    Compare to the manga, the life-version of Marmalade Boy really suck
