Not sure if anyone is interested in checking this out, but the upcoming TBS J-dorama remake of the popular K-drama You’re Beautiful is scheduled to premiere in two weeks. The remake stars a new slew of J-ent idols, which may or may not rocket them to stardom the way HanaDan made Matsumoto Jun and Oguri Shun.
Speaking of which, Ikemen Desu Ne (literal translation Beautiful Man, Yes?) will be helmed by the director who did HanaDan, so expect the same manga-ish vibe. We have relative newcomer Takimoto Miori in the Park Shin Hye role, Tamamori Yuka in the Jang Geun Seok role, Fujigaya Taisuke in the Jung Yong Hwa role, and Yaotome Hikaru in the Lee Hong Ki role.
It wouldn’t come as a surprise to hear that all three guys are Johnny’s, right? Tamamori and Fujiya are members of the group Kis-My-Ft2, and Yaotome is a member of the group HEY SAY JUMP. Apparently there is a possibility that the original Korean cast might make a cameo appearance. Bringing the trailer and BTS interviews from the cast which leads me to conclude that this looks like a scene-by-scene remake.
I’m not holding my hopes too high it’ll be good with a cast consisting of newbie Johnnys. Too bad Jun, Yamapi, Kame, Jin, Toma, et. al. are all too old for this idol stuff because I miss them so much onscreen. Compared to Ikemen, I’m actually way more interested in TBS’s other Summer offering, the drama adaptation of the manga Arakawa Under the Bridge with Oguri Shun.

this is quite interesting---i hope for heaven's sake this version of you're beautiful j-dorama style works out well---i truly do... :o
Nice will check out that manga adaptation Arakawa Under the Bridge because Oguri Shun was Takiya Genji in Crows Zero which I think is one of the best manga adaptation ever. Crows and it sequel Worst is on my all time favorite manga :)
I have not read any complaints about it but I'm just going to say it - I really don't like it when men tweeze their eyebrows to a point where it's so thin and angled that if only the eyebrows where shown to people, you'd think they're women's eyebrows. What's w/ that? That's why I stay away from some dramas....all because of eyebrows. It really bothers my nerves.
omo, i didn't give it much thought before, but now that you mentioned it, yeah, it makes them too girl-y. mine aren't even like theirs, lol.
this style is called "bishonen" literally "beautiful youth" (beautiful boy) just sayin'
Yeah, just look at the recent Kang Ji-hwan & Kim Hyun Joong's eyebrows. They are groomed, very metro, very testosterone sexy.
I second. I have a problem with that too.
Thanks Mam...wow..Mam K u also can read hiragana n katakana??awesome!! I also read Ikemen desune! Ikemen = meinan(chinese)? I don't like Idol drama...I just interested Mam mention about oguri shun n yamapi hehe..lurve them ♡\(^O^)/♡
nice to know. thanks for the info. : )
Been a fan of J and K dramas so I'll probably watch this as well. Thanks for the post Koala
Definitely planning on watching this along with the J-remake of Hana Kimi..hopefully it turns out good! I might also check out Arakawa Under the Bridge
But...why on earth are they making a new Hana Kimi already?!?! XD I just don't get it!
Hm, I don't know, I think the Korean cast was more appealing.
And yeah, I always hoped that Akanishi Jin and co. would do a "Yukan Club Season 2", but it never happened. Guess it's all about ratings, or sponsors and stuff @_@~
In terms of comedy, I think Jdramas win so I am definitely looking forward to this remake. It really is to bad Kame or Yamapi couldn't be apart of this but I will keep an open mind with this cast.
Hope its an okay drama and the heroine is not as stupid as in the korean version. It annoyed me to no end.
Oh man. This is SO going to be a screwball comedy of sorts. DNW! It gives me Hana Kimi vibes and...no. I'll probably watch the cameo from the YaB cast if it ever happens, but as for the drama? Yab was enough, thank you very much!
PS: JSYK, I can't find the thread where we were talking about Coffee House. If you replied to my comment, er...I'm not ignoring you, okay? I've been looking for that thread for half an hour and no luck! *facepalm*
PPS: I've bought the LTM ost, woohoo
