Hello, everyone. Due to the fact that I only post once a week, some of these news items might already be known by all. However, for those of you who do not know – here it is! The drama world is constantly making new creations. Some are bad and some are good. Thus to know what’s good, you must know what’s going on.
- Hana Yori Dango gets Another Makeover – The ever popular storyline of Hana Yori Dango or HYD has been remade in Taiwan known as Meteor Garden by a group of foursome singer also known as F4. (However, due to legal reasons, they have now discard that name. I do not know their current name.) Now, Korea is set to have their own version of HYD. They are currently looking for the right cast members. Rumour has it, the main protagonist will be played by Yoon Eun Hye. Comparing Maki Tsukino from HYD Japan, Yoon Eun Hye’s recent role in Coffee Prince definitely makes her the perfect contender for the role: a tom-boy-ish personality with innocent views about the world. Perfect.
- Big to Skinny to Big Again? – The surprising hit romantic-comedy, 200 Pounds Beauty, is set to have a sequel out by next year or so. This time, the protagonist has had one of those “yo-yo-ing effect” after her plastic surgery and has put on the pounds again! What to do? Kim Ah Joong, the main actress of the original movie, has yet to accept the returning role so we’ll see. I can’t really see anyone else besides her to play the role. I always hate it when cast members are changed in sequels. It just makes the experience that much more artificial.
- Drama 2 Movies – Given the popularity of certain shows this year, many of which will also have a movie coming out after the series have ended. This year’s greatly anticipated movies include those for HYD and Galileo! Of the two, I am most excited about the HYD movie. I wonder what they’ll talk about now? Parenthood? Maki as a lawyer who must save one of the F4 from a nasty case? Domyouji messed up his company and the two now lives on the street? So many questions….
- Taiyou no Uta was a disappointment. Will have the review up later.
That’s all, folks. Hope you enjoy these little tid-bits about Drama Land. Sources for the these news come from Dramabeans and Asian Entertainment News.
