The most highly anticipated series, “the Korean Hana Yori Dango“, has now locked down on their cast. We all know that Gu Hye Seon is going to play Makino Tsukushi but who else is there? Han Chae Young has been casted to play Kim Hyun Joong’s love interest (Todo Shizuka is Hanazawa Rui’s love interest), Kim So Eun will play Gu Hye Seon’s best friend (Matsuoka Yuki) and last but not least are Kim Hyun Joo as Lee Min Ho’s older sister (Domyouji Tsubaki) and Jeon In Hwa as his mom (Domyouji Kaede).

I’m really disappointed with the F4 boys after hearing about the ladies but I have high hopes for the other parts of the series. Looking at screenshots it seems that they’ll be copying the original story almost exactly.

Unlike Meteor Garden (Taiwanese version), this HYD version will be set in High School like the original story. Also while the Japanese HYD didn’t go to the states till the 2nd season, Korea has stepped up by filming in the states already.

Okay so they’ve finally casted the lead female for Hana Yori Dango, unfortunately it’s not some sexy boy toy who can pass off as a girl. It’s Gu Hye Seon.

Never seen her in anything before but she’s won a few big awards: 2007 SBS Acting Awards (New Star Award) and 2006 KBS Acting Awards (New Actress Award). Not only that but she’s sang the theme song for her drama Pure 19 and been in a few music videos. She’s got to be good right?

Honestly she’s a little too mature looking for me. While she does embody the innocent girl look, she’s not quite the perfect fit for me. I would have definitely gone for a bigger star or at least a cuter one like Kim Tae Hee. If you’ve seen the Japanese Hana Yori Dango, Kim Tae Hee and Mao Inoue might as well be twins.

Again I’m disappointed with the cast but hopefully the show will still be good. I’m still praying for them to boot Gu Hye Seon for a boy toy.
