I heard this last week but I am little confused by the wording here. when I first read about this it was only a rumor, which arama also notes, but then it sounds more certain to happen at the end of the article?
anyway, I don't care for another hanadan remake. I think it's unnecessary --- there have been many other adaptations at this point, but matsujun and inoue mao played their parts well enough and had noticeable chemistry that made me feel hanadan was the best one out there (from what I've seen/tried). egg-mont said it best when she described them as iconic. I know I've forgotten a lot of the show's details, but those two and their performance are burned into memory. 2005 hanadan is imperfect, but it's still a high bar to match the leads. I also don't get the why. why do they want to make a remake? other than because it's likely to make profit.. and/or because they actually want to improve on some of the problematic points. which I'd be down for, but I somehow don't see it happening. either way, I like hirose suzu & can picture her in the role of makino at least.
