The long awaited Korean version of drama hit series Hana Yori Dango will air on KBS 2TV in the last week of December. Finally! Honestly, I can’t believe I had to wait so damn long for Korea to catch up. Aren’t they the melodrama gods?

So far there’s been a lot of hype for the show as it is one of the most popular series in all of Asian due to predecessors Meteor Garden (Taiwan) and Hana Yori Dango (Japan; creator of the series). With so much pressure, they’ve gathered some big names to help record the mini series like renowned director Jeon Gi-Sang (Sassy Girl Chuhyang, My Girl) and writer Yoon Ji-Ryeon (Sharp #3). However, they’ve got Group 8 to produce the film even though they failed with Goong S.

Moving on to the actual cast, the most talked about rumored member is SS501’s Kim Hyun-Joong who will supposedly play Hanazawa Rui (my favorite character). He’s not my first choice for the part especially since the sexy Jae Joong from DBSK is rumored to be part of the cast as well. Also rumored are Super Junior’s Kim Ki Bum and Big Bang’s T.O.P. who aren’t exactly what I would call all-star but I guess they would make decent supporting characters. While fans have been going in circles for the Flower 4 boys, who’s going to play the lead female Makino Tsukushi? Maybe Lee Junki will get it and we’ll get some sexy guy on guy action!

Not only Korea but most of East Asia is pretty much sitting on their hands for this series then again who isn’t? I’m already planning my pre-series preparation. Also, the Japanese version of the series just released their movie which is the finale to the entire series in late June. DVD is yet to come out but you can count on me to be the first in line to get it.
