South Korean classic comedy "Scandal Makers" is getting a remake in China.

The China-South Korea co-production has already begun shooting in Beijing.

The 2008 film topped weekend box office for four straight weeks in South Korea after opening.

The Chinese version will be directed by South Korean director Ahn Byeong-ki, starring Tong Dawei and Taiwan actress Michelle Chen.

Ahn Byeong-ki was also the producer of the original "Scandal Makers" film.
