Taiwan's smash hit television drama "Meteor Garden" will soon be made into a Korean version, South Korean media reported.
The remake is scheduled to be screened in late 2008, with twenty-four 70-minute episodes. The cast has not been announced yet, the report said.
The high school-based romance serials, adapted from a Japanese manga, have won extreme popularity in the Chinese-speaking world and catapulted the five leads, Barbie Hsu, Vanness Wu, Vic Zhou, Jerry Yan and Ken Chu, to immediate stardom when it first aired in 2001.
A Japanese version, "Hana Yori Dango," aired in Japan in 2005, also to great success.
