Who doesn’t love “Boys Over Flowers”? Which Asian isn’t a fan of the F4? Taiwanese? Japanese? Korean? And now… American F4!
My favorite version of “Boys Over Flowers” is the Japanese one ~ Hana Yori Dango. I was a bit skeptical at first since I thought that Matsumoto Jun isn’t good looking enough for the lead role, but the acting ~ he personified “Tsukasa”. Inoue Mou is “cute” yet strong as Makino. I think the Korean F4 is the most good-looking bunch of all the remakes by far, but “Hana Yori Dango” is the best in terms of acting, story and production ;p
The American F4 casts relatively unknowns in Hollywood, but who knows what could happen when the series starts? I read that “Boys Before Flowers” is meant as a web series. So who are these ‘unknowns’?
Joseph Almani stars as Liam Montgomery (Jun Pyo/ Tsusaka/ Dao Ming Si)
Trenton Culkin is Oliver Young (Ji Hoo/ Rui / Hua Ze Lei)
Napoleon Tavale is Chase Carlton (Sojirou / Yi Jung/ Xi Men)
Jason Moderno as Noah McAllster (Akira / Woo Bin / Mei Zuo)
The female lead role has not been cast. In fact, the producers are still looking for someone to play Zoey.
Filming starts on October 17th while the first preview is scheduled on October 28th. For more news and info, visit the official website of Boys Before Flowers.
I think I’ll try to see the preview… if the first 15 minutes entertains I might try to finish the episode ;p
Seriously?kkkk.
I have to agree with you Ms. Betchay, the japanese version Hana Yori Dango is my most favorite among the three and i just love Jun Matsumoto and Shun Oguri! I even named my dogs Rui and Makino, hehe. 🙂
seriously???
i don’t think the american version wud be successful as the asian ones…
I don’t know. Too Disney-ish for my liking.
Off the topic. Any views on Master’s Sun?
I started watching Korean Boys Over Flowers but I gave up in the first episode. But so many people have told me it’s great that I wonder if I should give it another try.
LOL isnt boys over flowers supposed to be about pretty boys….that napoleon guy looks like someone you would find in a “to catch a predator” episode lol
this is going to fail
nakakatuwa ito. 😀 sabagay, marami naman tlng mga asian movies/drama ang nireremake. and bakit kaya parang may soemthing sa comments ng iba? LOL!
