YEP! V just like what the title says. There will be a Taiwanese version of Honey & Clover and of course it'll follow the same storyline. What is up with Taiwan and Japan? HMM.. somehow I just feel like there's going to be competition.. HehE.. first Meteor Garden, Hana Kimi, and then Honey & Clover. WHAT's NEXT? Mars? j/k. I haven't watch the Japanese H&C but I'm kind of excited for the Taiwanese version too. I like the cast.

CAST



Chiaki Ito as Hagumi Hanamoto(she's Japanese)


Guoyi Li as Yuta Takemoto


Eddie Peng as Shinobu Morita


Joe Cheng as Takumi Mayama(AHH it's Joe Cheng)

SYNOPSIS

Great casting! The actors actually look like the characters they're playing.

haha looking forward to it~ even though i havent seen H&C jp version either,,,,,=p but v. lookin forward to the TW one =]

As least Morita looks like Morita, I am still bother by the fact that Narimiya Hiroki doesn't suit Morita's image at all. And it is great to see new pairing for Joe. I don't want him to be permanently stuck with Ariel. Well.. I know Ariel don't let that happen. Ariel somehow have great chemistry with everyone.

I hope people give this drama a chance instead of incessantly comparing it to the Japanese version

I'm excited for Janice Chang (she was pretty good in White Tower; very classy and sophisticated), Eddie Peng (what a cutieee!), and JOE CHENG (omg how can you not love him after watching ISWAK and TKA?!)

Can someone post a synopsis of the drama?

i'm in love with the Japanese version
but well
i see Joe Cheng there
and he's gonna play my favorite character
keke
i'll give this version a try =D

im goin to see just cause Joe cheng is playin too hahaha

oh man i love him !

oh... wow!

i mean, Joe Cheng does look the part. ugh, gonna be the devil's advocate here, but the actress for Hagu looks a little too... I dont know. she doesnt possess that innocent look - yet. i'll judge up to that. other than that, i'll wait for this. taiwanese dramas adapting mangas tend to be a bit faithful to the manga itself. so yeah.

Ahhhhhhh I'm so looking forward to this! Kekeke Joe Cheng XD

Not really digging it lol. I don't want to watch it for the fourth time. (The anime, movie, jdrama and then this...)
But yeah. Hopefully it all goes well.

Chiaki looks like more of Hagu more than Narumi Riko... Small, blonde and curly hair.

I'm liking both japanese and taiwanese actors for Morita and Mayama... *O* Joe Cheng seemed a little bit tan now... Good thing he is Mayama. Takemoto's character don't suit him...

I'm feeling quite indifferent with Yamada's taiwanese counterpart...

I'm very excited about this drama. So I searched here and there and I found a video about the drama:

www.ku6.com/show/7k0zBIDJoe4bSkA5.html

It looks so good... I can't wait for it

have not seen the japanese version yet.
but this one might be good.
there's joe in it. lol

thanks for the vid. now, I want to see some kind of trailer for this drama. I hope it comes out soon.

OMG!! im sorry but the TW cast is MUCH better than the JAPANESE one now(the drama)

i hope it;s gonna be good!!

if joe's gonna be in it...i'm soooo watching <3

Wow, Joe Cheng as Takumi! I didn't expect that, but great choice! I think the Taiwanese cast look very similar to the Japanese movie cast (with the exception of Hagu)

joe always gets the best parts! hahaaaaa. im soo watching this version too!

wow isnt that Japanese one currently showing? though i havent seen any episodes but i heard it's really good! i might watch the Taiwanese one but i'll probably watch the Japanese one first! HEhe
usually Taiwanese make the drama before the Japanese (except for ISWAK) i think haha.
dont really know the cast apart from Joe Cheng xD

HOLY--!!
OMG CHIAKI ITO AS IN CHIAKI ITO FROM AAA? *____________*

although i think the TW one is gonna fail in comparison to the JP versions, i'm gonna watch it for Chiaki Ito and Joe Cheng especially for Chiaki! she's so cute! my favorite in AAA next to nissy <3

and yeah, she does look the part for hagumi more than narumi riko but idk about her acting skills hahahah :X

aoi yuu IMO is by far the best hagumi~

^ Same question!!! Chiaki Ito from AAA???
She knows how to speak Chinese?? Whoaa!!!

ahhh i love takumi!!
wonder how joe's going to pull it off
will definitely be watching this~

OMGGGGGGGGGGG
ITS JOE CHENG..
but is going to be a main character

(please be yes!)

^I think he's playing as the guy that likes the older woman. more pictures from the drama here, http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php...bs&aid=3434

anyone know if there's a trailer out for this drama? I tried looking for it but couldn't find it so please share if you guys find any. thanks

looking fwd to watch this tough..

!! its really chiaki ito from AAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KYA~~~~~
wahaha, i think joe will be pretty gd as mayama's role >.< eddie's such a cutie, i wonder how he will portray morita, yea!! so far i have only watched the anime and the live action movie, hope the taiwan version will come out great!

Oh this will be highly interesting!

^ the last pic looks cool. Eddie Peng's look is like woaah =O
i didn't know Joe Cheng had a new drama coming up! hehee. i haven't heard of Honey & Clover, but judging from the pics it looks good. this sounds promising =))

thanks mikki and Winly for the updates. I'm definitely looking forward to this drama.

i liked the japanese version...
the black and white pics look cute...

oh i've finished watching the japanese version and i quite like it...
just that i didn't like the ending thats all...
i like both cast...
but will the taiwan version main guy be wearing shorts as well???
=P

wow thats a good cast!
i havent seen the japanese version but they look good for their roles..
i cant wait til it comes out >_<

another idol drama?
I think Hagu's supposed to have a natural perm rather than a curly hair

Joe Cheng!! ;D
Looking forward to this though

it seems to be a promising serie with great casts . After having finished They kiss again , My Sunday is rather boring and quiet . I 'm really looking forward seeing this one . Hope that Joe could portray successfully Mayama who is rather cool but irritated sometimes

Competition? Between Japan and Taiwan? Although I love Taiwan... Just comparing Hana Kimi TW with Hana Kimi JP version, the results are obvious? :X

But anyways, Joe Cheng is in this! <33

ending song of honey and clover sing by xiao yu .. the h and C ost look very promsing ..

mv habit of thinking about you .. this is joe-tarcy -janine version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpWtVdPbnMk

By just watching the music video of Habit Of Thinking About You, compare to the Japanese version, seems like the one who played Hagu and Morita has more cute, sweet screening time in the Taiwanese version. I can't wait for this drama to come out and mikki, thanks for the updates.

What's up with these Taiwanese remakes? I enjoyed the Taiwanese remake of Hana Kimi, though. (But I still prefer the Japanese one~)

I'll think I'll enjoy this because Joe Cheng is in this xD

Eddie and Joe i was wondering why they was making this version and thoguth i wasn't going to be interested in watching it but now i wanna see it cause of the cast. the cast do look like the people the the playing.

Weird how Eddie and Janine went from doing a really amazing, serious drama (Wayward Kenting) to an idol drama. I'm really skeptical about this but I do love 3/4 of the cast (I don't know who that Japanese girl is)

honey and clover premiere on may 22 .. here some pic .. credit soostar
