something isn't right about the cast for ラスト・フレンズ (Last Friends). I don't remember any of the actors/actresses being named for the drama.

Otherwise, this should be an interesting season for jdramas. I hope none of them will disappoint me.

Post by **mizune** » Mar 24th, '08, 05:47

whoops, forgot to update that cast... ^_^;;;
will be fixed in a jiff....

Haha, whatever Rookies may be about it looks interesting. But my japanese is still to bad to actually read the plot on the official hp. Looks tasty though.

It's based on a manga.....which isn't bad..I came upon it a few years ago......so I'm a little happy that it's been turned into a drama

You're welcome. I had to dig through a few threads to find the link myself. xD

It's an adaption of the movie, yes, but things have been changed. I don't know much about it though.

from TokyoGraph:

TBS has announced a drama adaptation of the hit 2001 Korean movie "My Sassy Girl," which is known as "Ryokiteki na Kanojo" in Japan. The series will star SMAP's Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and actress Lena Tanaka.

The romantic comedy, which originally starred Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun, was highly successful in Korea, and its popularity quickly spread throughout the rest of Asia. Immediately following its release in Japan in 2003, multiple television networks reportedly began fighting over drama adaptation rights. However, it wasn't until Kusanagi was attached to the project that a deal was made this past spring.

The character backgrounds and plot details will be changed for the drama. While the protagonists in the original film were college students, this time the pair will be a marine biology professor (Kusanagi) and an aspiring writer (Tanaka).

Hope that helps.
