In April 2017, Angie Chai announced the remake of Meteor Garden'', which she produced in 2001. Prior to the announcement, Barbie Hsu hinted at the news on her Weibo account.

The drama was budgeted at 720 million New Taiwan dollars (about US$24 million) with 15 million per episode, thirty times higher than the original.

A casting call was announced on social media on June 21, 2017 with a video and the topic, "#FindingF4". On November 7, 2017, the actors playing F4 were revealed, namely Dylan Wang (Daoming Si), Darren Chen (Huaze Lei), Caesar Wu (Ximen Yan) and Connor Leong (Feng Meizuo). Shen Yue's role as Dong Shancai was unveiled at a press conference in Shanghai on November 9.

Dee Hsu auditioned for the role of Daoming Feng and was cast as Daoming Zhuang. The role of Daoming Feng was eventually portrayed by actress Wang Lin (Lilian Wang).

In February 2018, it was announced that the director had been changed from Xu Fuxiang to Lin Helong.
