So far, there had been 5 adaptations of the manga: Meteor Garden (CTS Taiwan) 2001; Hana Yori Dango (TBS Japan) 2005; Boys Over Flowers (KBS Korea) 2009; Meteor Shower (Hunan TV China) 2009; and Bunga (Astro Ria Malaysia) 2009. I had seen all except the Chinese and the Malaysian one and truthfully, I’m surprised there’s a Malaysian adaptation. No wonder Philippines is making one. They don’t want to lose.
Anyway, the title of the Filipino version is Brat Boys Beyond. Now, I don’t now who came up with that one. But why didn’t they just translated Boys Before Flowers to Filipino?
…
Hmm.. Mga Lalaki Bago Bulaklak… Ugh. I guess Brat Boys Beyond is sooo much better. Hay~ I guess we should just wait and see what’s going to happen. But while I’m waiting, I’ll be checking out the possible actors for the leads.
My brother’s blog says that Maja Salvador is the favorite for the role of Makino. But another site said that Sarah Geronimo is confirmed to be taking the role. Well, no one really fits the role. But what the heck? See their pictures and decide for yourself.
Is it obvious that I don’t like her?
Meine liebe 
nku sana lng nga.
wag nilang ipahiya ung philippines. maramin ngayon ang bumabatikos sa chinese h4.
kaya nga eh. wag na cla makisabay. pati nga it started with a kiss gusto din gwan. grabe.
i’ll go for sarah., hehehehe y? kasi mas fit siya sa role na shan cai / jan di
“Is it obvious that I don’t like her?” yes very obvious., hahahah
haha. sorry. naging fan asi ako ni maja sa one more chance. eh si sarah kasi parang masyadong mabait. parang hindi bgay sa kanya na maging tough..
Nico Ibaviosa – Dao Ming Si / Jun Pyo
Sarah Geronimo – Shan Cai / Jan Di
Andre Endique – Hua Ze Lie / Ji Hoo
Eduard Duallo – Xi Men / Yi Jeong
Chase Rivera – Mei Zhou Ling / Woo Bin
is this confirmed? why are they using new actors?
dahil cguro mas me click ang bagong actor mas ke kilig factor pg ngeon mo lng nkita dba..its confirmed
kung iisipin mong mabuti, mas may kilig nga. ang issue ko lng nmn eh c sarah. kung dun sa mga lalaki, mag dedepend un sa show. kasi puedeng pangit cla sa pic pero iba nmn sa show. i think papanoorin ko to. pero ayokong madismaya katulad sa my girl ng pinas.
girls gals, wag nman kaung ganyan.. pagbigyan natin si sarah geronimo, hindi nman porket flop ung idol eh pangit n rin ang kalalabasn ng remake ng boys over flowers diba?.. and to think kc kya nman nagkaganun e dahil hindi maganda ung kwento… idol k si sarah, kaya gusto k sya gumanap… tingnan natin di ba?… sana walang mangaway sakin.. peace!!!
teka nga lng… confirmed n b talgng isu-shoot na nila to?
hi there, is it true that malaysia also makes their own version of meteor garden?? i’ve searched in google but has no luck, i hope brat boys beyond can also be watched online
Hey, Bunga is not a Malay drama…. It’s actually Indonesian……. You know, the one that we call ‘sinetron’?……..
