Greezee Meteor Garden is being remade!
Im so excited! Really miss this
BEIJING - Meteor Garden will be rebooted, its creator Angie Chai announced on Tuesday (April 11), exactly 16 years after the trailblazing idol drama premiered on Taiwanese television.
Her announcement on Weibo followed a nostalgic post by Barbie Hsu, who starred as the plucky Shancai in the 2001 show, said NetEase website.
The actress shared three photos taken with the producer, saying they had reminisced about the past recently. She added: "She knows I'm honest, but still told me a secret. I'll wait for her to tell you herself."
Chai then wrote on Weibo: "On April 12, 2001, 16 years ago, Meteor Garden premiered and it was the beginning of a beautiful dream."
She thanked Hsu for keeping her company then and now, before writing: "Yes! Meteor Garden is being remade! An all-new Meteor Garden belonging to your youth!"
The announcement sent a wave of nostalgia over the Chinese Internet, but also ignited discussion about who should play the new F4, said NetEase. Kris Wu, a former member of K-pop group EXO, was one of the names that came up.
In 2001, Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Ken Chu and Van Ness Wu shot to stardom across Asia as F4, the gang of four elite guys at a prestigious school in Meteor Garden.
The show was drawn from the Japanese girls' manga Boys Over Flowers, which has since also been adapted for television in Japan, South Korea and China.
