It has been rumored lately that China will also be remaking the series. The initial rumors had tapped Chinese actor, Connor Leong (梁靖康), of the 2018 Chinese remake of “Meteor Garden” (流星花園), to star as the male lead. However, the latest rumors swirling are now pointing to Dylan Wang (王鹤棣), the breakout star of “Meteor Garden,” as the male lead in the remake.

Once the rumors of Yang Chaoyue starring as Song Hye Kyo’s character were circulating, there was a lot of opposition from fans. Many fans impression of Yang Chaoyue are from her days on the Chinese version of “Produce 101.” Netizens aren’t confident in her acting abilities and don’t have high hopes for her acting in the remake. Some fans were so extreme to threaten passing up the remake and even said it was a joke that Yang Chaoyue could surpass Song Hye Kyo in the iconic role.
