That’s right, the Flower 4 (F4) is back — in a local setting\u00a0(Photo:<\/a> Boys Over Flowers\/Facebook<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wishing to etch the culture and the \u2018Filipino version\u2019 to perhaps anything that has touched the lives of Filipinos is something that has been done numerous times especially when it comes to foreign dramas. Another hit drama is joining the list and fans\u2019 reactions are?<\/p>\n

GMA Network signed a co-production deal with JU Entertainment Movie and Drama Inc. on November 9 \u2013 to produce a Filipino version of a title known to heart \u2013 \u201cBoys Over Flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, the Flower 4 (F4) is back \u2013 in a local setting.<\/p>\n

This will not be the first time that \u201cBoys Over Flowers\u201d will have a different adaptation. What started as a Japanese manga series entitled \u201cHana Yori Dango\u201d in 1992 \u00a0was adapted to an anime in 1996 and to live action versions in Japan (Hana Yori Dango), Taiwan (Meteor Garden), and Korea (Boys Over Flowers).<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the anime and all three live action versions aired in the Philippine television screens. Clearly, the story of Tsukushi Makino, Shancai, or Geum Jan-di \u2013 whichever version one chooses, is something that is familiar throughout the years.<\/p>\n

While no details are bared on who will play the role of F4 and the female protagonist, people are already talking. The Twitterverse has all kinds of reactions and here are some of them.<\/p>\n

User Vhanessa @jenesbrozo said \u201cHindi nakakatawa na malaman na magkakaroon ng<\/em> Pinoy version ang <\/em>Boys Over Flowers (It is not funny to know that Boys Over Flowers will have a Pinoy version). I feel so broken!\u201d<\/p>\n

JINI. @ideshiiee tweeted \u201cAnother upcoming disappointment.\u201d<\/p>\n

While some were in down spirits, some are just nervous.<\/p>\n

Kelly @akellydelacruz22h22 tweeted \u201cPinoy version of Boys Over Flowers? Oh please don\u2019t ruin the painting.<\/p>\n

Some seem to not know how to react yet.<\/p>\n

Just like Jett @jettyyyyyyyy who tweeted, \u201cPinoy version of Boys over Flowers? Hmmm\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Some are hopeful as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cPinoy Boys Over Flowers Remake. Ah It\u2019s good news though but uh\u2026 nevermind, I\u2019ll just wait for the Dyland Wang as Dao Ming Si thingy. So excited omg,\u201d hhr2; @hnnhrthsrn tweeted.<\/p>\n

Others are dropping different GMA stars\u2019 names as guesses on who will fill the notable roles.<\/p>\n

So will the Pinoy version of Boys Over Flowers get a red card from its fans? Who will play So Yi-jung, Song Woo-bin, and Yoon Ji-hoo? And of course, Gu Jun-pyo and Jan-di? And will these characters be baptized with their own ‘Filipino names’ as well? No one knows yet until the show starts airing, but one thing is for sure. And that is the fact that the production will start soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
