Korean Drama Da Chang Jin (Jewel in the Palace) has made South Korea increase its tourism, making them earn a lot from money spent by tourist, this has stimulated the interest of the Communications group of the Tourism Board, they have now decided to follow the example of the Koreans, for this endeavor they will be spending NT$85 million and sought F4 idol group for this project. They will use the sceneries of Taiwan as the backdrop of the new drama project. The plan is to have this broadcasted in Japan and South Korea, it is their hope that this project will entice overseas tourist to come and see the sights of Taiwan.

Follow the example of the Korean Dramas! Idol dramas have promoted Taiwan sceneries, Winter Sonata, Da Chang Jin, these dramas have been very popular and have helped pushed them to be hot. We can not belittle the use of idol dramas, there have been studies in this and the domestic tourism board prepared a follow up, they are prepared to spend NT$85 million to film an idol drama and help push Taiwan in the international arena to advance to the Japan and South Korean market. They will be using the idol group F4.

At present the tentative outline for the drama would be “Wonderful Love Hot Dance Troupe” they will use F4 as a group who loves “street dancing” they will be the champion of the youth. The special feature of this is for the main actors to have gone all over the 8 tourist spots of Taiwan, but of course included in the drama would be love stories. The leading ladies haven’t been decided on at the moment, it can include: Yang Cheng Lin, Wu Pei Ci (partner of Vanness in MG2), as well as Xu Ruo Xuan (Vivian Xu) who has already made a name for herself in Japan.

The drama will have a total of 25 episodes, the plan is for it to be shown April next year, five big broadcast stations will show it in Japan and Korea. To follow are concerts, promotional activities, merchandise products. The tourism board has the confidence that using idols can attract overseas tourist to come and see the sceneries of Taiwan.
