New Mandarin series Meteor Garden 2018! Scripted, directed and produced by multi-talented showrunner Angie Chai, who teams up with renowned producer Adam Tsuei, this new rendition will recreate the sensation, which swept Asia 17 years ago. Meteor Garden 2018 introduces a new generation of the “F4” casts with talents including Xu Xi Di (Dee Hsu - Xiǎo S or Little S - 小S), Amber Kuo and Harlem Yu.
Meteor Garden debuted in 17 countries and was well-received
across Asia in 2001,” said Chai. “It was a drama series loved by many,
including teenagers and young adults. The new rendition is re-adapted
for the millennial generation from story, script to an on-demand viewing
platform so that a new generation of viewers will enjoy this classic
love story. The new
Meteor Garden also sets a new high for Mandarin idol drama.

| Shen Yue (沈月) as Dong Shan Cai (董杉菜) |
Shen Yue stars as fiery, hardworking Shan Cai, who endures torture from the F4 and eventually earns their respect. The 20-year-old rookie actress from China fills the shoes left by Barbie Hsu. She beat out thousands of other hopefuls for the iconic role, even getting a selfie with Barbie on Barbie’s Instagram.

| Dylan Wang He Di (王鹤棣) as Dao Ming Si (道明寺) |
The leader of the F4! The youngest of the rookies, 19-year-old Dylan Wang takes on the lead role of Dao Ming Si from Jerry Yan. Known for his legendary temper, Dao Ming Si at first looks down on Shan Cai for defying him. Eventually, he learns to respect her and later confesses his love. Dylan hails from Chengdu City in China and previously starred on the Chinese reality show Idol Star! He definitely looks like he has Dao Ming Si’s confidence.

| Darren Chen aka Guan Hong (官鸿) as Hua Ze Lei (花泽类) |
Darren Chen plays F4’s second-in-command Hua Ze Lei, taking on the role from Vic Zhou. Quiet but kind, he acts as Shan Cai’s protector and later falls in love with her. This puts him at odds with best friend Dao Ming Si, temporarily straining their relationship. Darren is 22 and comes from Taipei, Taiwan. He recently played the second lead in the web series Proud of Love. Darren’s cute, charming looks set him apart from how Hua Ze Lei is usually portrayed as someone cold and aloof.

Caesar Wu Xi Ze (吴希泽) as Xi Men Yan (西门彦)
|
Caesar Wu, replaces Ken Zhu as Xi Men. Described as a fun-loving playboy, Xi Men often landed himself in trouble because of his antics with women (and their furious boyfriends). Caesar definitely looks the part of a cool, confident playboy. The 21-year-old from Shen Zhen, China was cast as an unknown and Meteor Garden is his first project.
 |
| Connor Leong Jing Kang (梁靖康) as Feng Mei Zuo (冯美作) |
Connor Leong plays the other playboy of the group Mei Zuo, replacing Vanness Wu. Mei Zuo acts as the F4’s joker but is unflinchingly loyal to his friends. 23-year-old Connor comes from Guangdong Province, China, and doubles as a model-actor. Truthfully, he looks a bit too serious to fit the joker role, but maybe he’ll lighten up when the series starts.
