Honey and Clover - 蜂蜜幸運草 / Feng Mi Xing Yun Cao

Hello all!, I for one can't wait for the taiwan version. The cast seems to be truer, as an adaption, to the manga/anime. Both looks and personality wise! As you all know may know, a few of the stars include Joe Cheng as Mayama and Chiaki Ito (from JPOP group AAA) as Hagu-chan.

Quick Synopsis: The story follows the lives of the five main characters in their love triangles, graduating from college, finding jobs and their aspiration and dreams. In the process they learn more about each other and ultimately themselves.

Cast:
Joe Cheng as Den Zhen Shan 鄧真山 - Mayama Takumi
Janine Chang as He Ya Gong 何亞弓 - Yamada Ayumi
Eddie Peng as Ren Sen Tian 任森田 - Morita Shinobu
Lego (Guoyi) Li (李國毅) as An Zhu Ben 安竹本 - Takemoto Yuta
Ito Chiaki (伊藤千晃) as Hua Ben Huang 華本肓 - Hanamoto Hagumi
Tarcy Su (蘇慧倫) as Fang Li Hua 方理花 - Harada Rika
Zhang Han (張翰) as Hua Xiu Si 華修司 - Hanamoto Shuji
David Chen as Tang Ye Feng 湯野丰 - Nomiya Takumi

H&C followers will definitely remember some of these scenes, the ones which made the comedic parts of H&C so memorable; I sorely miss this in the japanese version right now.

Hopefully this (re)make will be better than the current H&C (Japanese) live action.

I wonder how all the Joe Cheng fan girls will react to this one after drooling all over him and Ariel Lin in They Kiss Again.

I'm definitely going to watch this for Eddie Peng ^__^ I just totally love him in Young Warriors of the Yang Clan so watching this for him.
Joe Cheng is alright, he was very good in ISWAK but we'll see how he does in this one.

Ooh nice, they even got the awkward boss guy in, I almost forgot about him haha.

So it seems like filming finished in kaohsiung, and there in taipei now.
Heres a article on Joe Cheng and Eddie Peng bullying, in good fashion, newcomer Lego Li.
Mayama and Morita versus takemoto. Big Smile

Lol, Eddie and Joe bullying Lego Li like that is somewhat like Morita and Mayama bullying Takemoto in the anime! =P

I'm looking forward to this soooo much! The anime was so good, the live action movie alright and the japanese drama has been entertaining enough.

Unfortunately, Nomiya has always been my favorite character and till now, no one has portrayed him well enough to satisfy me. So, that David Chen... Anyone have any experience on him? Is he any good?

Aww good to hear that ! I hope the tw version will be good Smile

I haven't finished the jap version yet... I'm not really addicted to it, I'm only watching because I want to finish it and Toma is awesome !
Joe Cheng is a really good actor, I'm sure he's going to do a great job !
