Casting is underway, or at least prepping for casting is underway for the Taiwan drama remake of its own hit classic Meteor Garden, adapted from the well known shoujo manga Hana Yori Dango (Boys Before Flowers). The 2001 drama launched the careers of all five leads Da S, Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Ken Zhu, and Vanness Wu from near unknowns to major stars. The remake feels rather timely as the original is now quite dated, but a remake runs the risk of never living up to the right cast and right timing of the original. With that said, fans eager for the remake have been throwing around names for the casting of the four male leads to form F4, and now we see who producer Angie Cai is considering. A drama production whiteboard was recently shared on SNS with pictures and names of twelve good looking young actors, with three names being in contention for each of the male leads. Check out the list and pictures below and see if anyone in particular catches your fancy. Other than Wu Lei, Wang Jun Kai of TFBoys, and EXO‘s Lay (Zhang Yi Xing), the rest are all fresh faces to me.
Dao Ming Shi candidates: Xu Wei Zhou, Song Wei Long, Wang Jun Ka
Hua Zhe Lei candidates: Bai Jin Ting, Zhang Yi Xing, Tong Li
Xi Men candidates: Wu Lei, Wang Jia Er, Li Hong Yi
Mei Zhuo candidates: Liu Hao Ran, Tong Si Cheng, Huang Jing Yu

.........What the..............*speechless *shaking my head
Some of those actors are babies, or am I just too old for this? Lols... (I'll take the latter..le sigh). However, Wang Junkai can be San Chai's baby brother though, he doesnt look like Dao Ming Shi.
Setting it back in high school this time, I take it?
Wang Jia Er is Jackson from Got7!
Wu Lei as Xi Men?? Well he's already an established main male lead of his own drama and movie. I dont see why he should take on this role.
Li hong yi casts for this? I prefer him as hua zhe lei. But there's bai jin ting, dude can act as hua zhe lei or ximen..
Wu lei wu lei wu lei, what r u doubg there? You have your own status as male lead why bother to be the 3rd? But it will be different if he gets casted as dao ming tse. Hmm.. Pretty faces tho.
Jackson wang? Hmm.. He's better as mei zhuo.
Lay? Is this the reason why he couldnt join exo for summer comeback. Sigh.
What a joke.
Wang Jun Kai as DMS? Eeeeek.
Bai Jing Ting is just too ugly.
There also no way Wu Lei and Liu Hao Ran take up those roles as well. Way too insignificant for their statures right now.
I say : Song Wei Long as Dao Ming Shi, Li Hong Yi should be Hua Zhe Lei and not as Xi Men. Liu Hao Ran as Mei Zhuo. Wang Jiang Er as Xi Men.
Xu Wei Zhou and Huang Jing You in the same drama please. I don't particular care for a remake tbh. It's been done to death already.
I wonder who will be the female lead?
