I can't wait to see this!! though I would've preferred a drama instead a movie

Hanadan is one of my favorite manga, so I never get tired of seeing another adaptation! Hana Yori Dango (s1 and s2) will always be my fave even though I think Meteor Garden followed the manga better. I also recommend the anime version if you haven't seen it. It followed the manga closely, but had to make up its own ending.

Interesting note: Meteor Shower and Moon River are actually unauthorized versions of HYD. MS probably more so, because it basically copied everything. It changed the story just enough not to get sued I guess. There are a lot of unlicensed adaptations: Siapa Takut Jatuh Cinta (Indonesia, also it was remade last year), Boys Before Friends (America), and Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan (India).

Hanadan is a pretty simple premise so Meteor Shower is the only one I'd accuse of outright plagiarism.

Thanks for posting the link! I watched it even though I don't know Japanese that well :3

It's wrong to compare Kaito to Rui :/ if anything Tenma is more like Rui. I can agree that Haruto and Oto are similar to Tsukasa and Tsukushi, but they are still very different.

If anyone's interested, the first chapter and chapters 37-69 of the manga are available to read for free (https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/chapters/boys-over-flowers-season-2-manga). To read the rest, you'll have to purchase the volumes on Comixology (https://www.comixology.com/Boys-Over-Flowers-Season-2/comics-series/40497) or Amazon. Btw it is currently only available digitally.

I think it's supposed to be a Taiwan-China co-production. Most of the actors and probably the majority of the funding is from China, which is why I think it's listed as such.

Yay!! So happy this is real! The sequel manga is pretty good, so I hope this leads to more people reading it :)

I really want this to be real, but I just don't think it is :/ The author hasn't posted anything about on her Twitter (https://twitter.com/yokokamioo), there are no press releases from TBS nor have they created an official website. It's not even listed on the Japanese Wikipedia.

The author recently denied rumors of a remake of Hana Yori Dango starring Suzu Hirose. (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-10-23/boys-over-flowers-creator-kamio-denies-rumors-of-live-action-series-remake/.123062) I'm sorry, but I really think this is just fan speculation!

Is this real? I can't find any articles on it.
