As if the Korean remake is not enough, Hunan TV reported that they will possibly remake Japanese manga adapation of “Hana Yori Dango”. Casting and plot is not yet confirmed for the Chinese version. This is following the success of Taiwanese drama “Meteor Garden” which rocketed boy-band F4 to fame and Japan’s own version “Hana Yori Dango”.
The Korean 2008 remake is also confirmed to star Lee Min Ho and SS501’s Hyun Jung and titled “Boys over Flowers” (which is what Hana Yori Dango translates into). Main cast for Korean remake includes:
Lee Min Ho – Jun Pyo Ko (Tsukasa Domyoji)
Kim Hyun Jung – Ji Ho Yun (Rui Hanazawa)
Kim Beom – Lee Jung So (Sojiroh Nishikado)
Kim Jun – Woo Bin Song (Akira Mimasaka)
Koo Hye Sun – Geum Jan Di (Tsukushi Matsumoto)
