I’m not sure when will the shooting starts but i’ve read that it’s gonna be on October 10. There are no updates on who’s gonna portrays Makino’s role but I hope I would not be disappointed since I’m kinda disappointed that Kimbum is not Domyouji ^^. He’s a notable star and he just ended on the role which is not really mainly the center of the story

Anyways, the Group 8th Staffs went to Macau to look for some locations for the drama.

Here is the blog post of the staff. LINK

Choi Jin Shil was found dead by her mother. She had hung herself in her home.
Rest in Peace to her.

Japan’s popular original manga-turned-drama “Hana Yori Dango” aka “Boys Over Flowers” has casted Lee Min Ho – Kim Hyun Joong – Kim Bum – Kim Jun as the F4 (Flower 4) for the Korean version of the drama.

The drama’s producers, Group 8, revealed through press releases on the morning of the 2nd, who the four main lead males were going to be.

Lee Min Ho will play the Japanese manga role of “Tsukasa” aka “Goo Joon Pyo.” The character of Goo Joon Pyo will be the heir to the Shinhwa Group Enterprises and the leader of the F4.

Lee Min Ho has already participated in the drama “Run Mackeral”, “I am Sam”, and the movie “Our School’s ET.” The production company explained that Lee Min Ho was casted for his dark-lined face and his height which towers over 180cm.

Romantic and Quirky young man “Yoon Ji Hoo” (Rui in the original Japanese version) will be played by SS501 Leader Kim Hyun Joong. Kim Hyun Joong was cast the earliest out of the main 4 and has received acting training since then. With the announcement of the casting news, there has been many comments about how he fits the role.

The remaining two F4 members “Seo Lee Jung” and “Song Woo Bin” (Soujiro and Akira in the original Japanese version) will be played by talent Kim Bum and boy band T-Max’s Kim Jun.

Jun Ki Sang PD of “My Girl” and “Delightful Girl Choon Hyang” fame will produce the series.

“Hana Yori Dango” is about a poor, but bright high school student named “Tsukushi” who attends an exclusive high school where only the rich go. She ends up having encounters with the bachelor F4 and experiences love and friendship in his romance manga. It has been running for 11 years in Japan with 36 books. The books have sold 5.8 million copies to date (I’m not 100% on the number…)

The manga has been translated into English, French, and Spanish with 14 other languages translated and the manga has been made into a drama in Japan and Taiwan. The actors cast as the F4 in both versions of the drama have been skyrocketed into fame and there has been a lot of interest in who the Korean cast of the F4 would be because of this trend.

The Korean version of Boys Over Flowers will begin in December and will have 24 episodes.

seeing this pics makes me feel that he really loves her wife and he’s such a sweetie.

and according to popseoul:

At the outdoor wedding ceremony covered in pink petals, Kwon Sang-woo is overwhelmed with emotion as he expresses his heartfelt thank you’s to his mother for her support and love. Facing the parents and saying a few words to them is part of the Korean wedding ceremony. This is when many people break down.

Like all parents, they want to know when their newly married son/daughter will have kids. Kwon Sang-woo revealed to the press that they would like to have kids as soon as possible. He added that 3 kids would be fabulous but his bride is afraid that she will mess up her body so they decided on 2.

I really adores Ara’s beauty plus her awesome acting skills.
