not related to the drama but yu hao ming and zhang shuang filmed a MV for a laptop commercial. the song is sung by both of them.

it feels like it's a consolation prize or something since I know they are not gonna end up together in the drama.
edit:
about 8 minutes of new footage. everything from the 1st episode script is coming true.

Just wanna say...ZHANG HAN IS EFFING BAD ASS IN THE SECOND VID. and lead actress can kick my ass too.
I posted another link over at the other thread over at the other celeb photo forum which included a scene not on those two videos.

WARNING SPOILERS. some new plot line I read and saw:
older sister asked "Makino" to tutor "Tsukasa" because she was very bright student
"Shizuka" is a music substitute teacher at the school.
Evil mom forced "Tsubaki" to go to a match making dinner, "Akira" comes to the rescue and drags her to the playground.

ok originally i was feeling SLIGHTLY skeptical (but still I knew I was going to have to watch this anyways), but after seeing the mv, and the little snippet previews, I have to say, I'm now REALLY excited for it.
the actors definitely look cuter on screen than most of the photoshoot pictures that i've seen (particularly yunhai) and the girl really looks cute. from the previews, it seems like the acting is pretty good too (at least it already looks better than the korean version's acting). the scenes look pretty cute and romantic and really does look like they put a lot of effort into it with the set and all (hot air balloon?!). the actors look really young though. younger than they do in pictures and probably younger than their actual ages. either way, though, i suppose they're aiming for a youthful feel anyways so maybe it'll be good. i feel like the two main leads already have good chemistry from the bits of interactions i saw in the previews.
anyways, can't say anything for sure until i see it, but i have a good feeling about this (:
is anyone going to upload it as it airs somewhere online? I don't have my chinese tv anymore D:

Wasn't there a contract that said you can't make a Hana Yori Dango remake until every 4 years?
Seriously I'm sick of all the Hana Yori Dango remakes.
I think the Japanese one and the Korean one was the best, since the Japanese one was the original and the funniest and the Korean had good camera quality and was actually interesting to watch like the Japanese one even though Goo Hye Sun's was annoying but cute.
But enough of me bashing this drama. I guess I'll give it a try because you can't judge a book by a cover.
I hope it doesn't suck like Meteor Garden. Seriously that version in my opinion SUCKED.

HAHAHAHAHA. (It's nothing about your comment or you in particular.) I just find it hilarious that there's such a dichotomy of reactions to HYD. People want remakes; people don't want remakes. People are tired of the storyline; People want the same storyline. It's like people who are hanadan fans are bipolar or something. I am just glad that there's still an interest to this drama after so much national and international bad press.
Come this August, let's all get crazy again.
Yeah Yun Hai and her look good together.

Thanks for the vids hoistdacolors! Zhang Han has at least one devoted fan to be putting all that stuff in his baidu. He should have more once the series airs.
idarklight and I were going to wait until better versions of those trailers come out to put it on youtube though. Maybe they won't come out.
But they're not from a fanmeet. They're from Happy Camp, a Chinese variety show. The cast is going on two of Hunan TV's own shows, Happy Camp and Behind the Story. Happy Camp is really funny and Behind the Story is more serious, but also mixed in with fun moments, which will definitely be the case here judging from the clips I've seen of it so far.
I'm glad that the first episode script was real (since you seemed to like it so much). I think it may have been purposely leaked on the internet for those who cared enough, to assure everyone that this was not the same old Hana Yori Dango. You make me want to read the script, but I don't know if I want to be spoiled.
I feel like people got turned off that by superficial aspects, but it was overall okay. I ended up skimming through it bc I bought the series in China and while the acting is rough around the edges, at least Barbie Hsu fit Shan Chai, and Jerry Yan and Vic Zhou fit their characters as well. Whereas the Korean version seemed to go slightly off the rails from the beginning with characterization. I only saw the first few episodes of it, but since most people say it tanked in the second half, when characterization was thrown out the window, I'd say my impression is a mild assessment compared to others.

I'm really hoping for English fansubs too. Or at least traditional Chinese subtitles because I cannot read simplified Chinese subs for the life of me - especially at the rate in dramas, when there's snappy dialogue D: - and I was skeptical about this too, but the trailer + MV + song(s) made me change my mind. I just wish they changed their friggin' school uniforms. That red/white border thing on their incredibly royal blue uniforms just do not fit together. D:

I just watched the MV and it changed my mind of this
version of BOF. lol. Although the boys look really young
and all; I find them adorable! lol. And the main girl is
pretty.
I also really like their uniforms. lol. I think I'm like the only
one. xD It looks unique~ but it doesn't really look like a
school uniform at all.

I, too, was a bit skeptical about this new version, but after watching the MVs, I think I'm gonna like it 
. I really feel the chemistry between the two main leads, and when looking at some of the other released footage, I think Zhang Han is a good actor 
. But I'm going to wait until I watch a few episodes before making any solid statements.

I have to agree o.o.
The more footage I see, the more hooked I get ><".
Has the official broadcast period been released yet? I only know that it's sometime, early August.

It looks like they're filming already for Behind the Story as well? From the looks of this picture, the background definitely looks like the logo for the show doesn't it?
idk if this picture was posted
i thought it looked cute. especially teh guy in the red hair... who i actually can't identify because he looks so different from the promotional pictures where everyone is pretty much ugly. can someone tell me who it is? i think it's the guy that all the chinese fans are obsessing over calling him the best looking one in the group... better than the male lead. which i think is weird cuz other than yu haoming and zhang han, i personally think the other guys look less than decent from the official pictures...
and behbeh
and for those who enjoyed the kiss ;]
all credits to the drama's baidu bar.

Live performance at the The 8th Chinese Bridge Competition
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB2VmNYBD3g
The four of them singing together makes me think they're gonna end up as a band like F4 or something... they sound pretty good if it really is "live"

@mintcracker lol yeah either that or the sound system and their voices were amazing. I don't know about the other two guys but I do know that Yu Haoming and Wei Chen usually sing top-notch "Live" lives.
Anyways heres another MV song for the drama sung by Zheng Shuang and Yu Haoming. Getting me use to the idea of a"Tsukushi-Rui" pairing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoRQZnczUTM...re=channel_page
People who want to watch the drama when it comes out could go on Cfanboys2 youtube channel since I think they're gonna sub it when it comes out in August?
I noticed they've also got some current cdramas which are more "ídol-ish" uploaded. There's a drama there called Always smile which is produced by Hunan tv so maybe it might give us an idea on the sort of drama Meteor Shower's gonna be?
