Korean remake of Meteor Garden

“Meteor Garden” was the 2001 Taiwanese TV adaptation of the Japanese manga/anime “Hana Yori Dango” that shot boy band F4 (Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Vanness Wu, Ken Zhu) into stardom. It was so popular that it spawned a sequel which deviated much from the original source – and also pretty much a flop. Japan then made its own hit version using the proper title “Hana Yori Dango” in 2005 that starred Matsumoto Jun and Inoue Mao who played Domyouji Tsukasa and Makino Tsukushi respectively with great success. South Korea is now also planning to remake this into an 24-episode drama set for release some time next year. Casting is not yet confirmed.
