Japanese Remake of “My Love from the Star” To Be Released

Korean drama My Love from the Star starring Jun Ji Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun was a huge hit across all of Asia in 2013. Since then, Thailand has filmed a remake and now Japan will be releasing its version starring Mizuki Yamamoto and Sota Fukushi on February 23.

The drama released its trailer and promotional posters yesterday, Mizuki will be playing Jun Ji Hyun’s character, a spoiled celebrity. She was seen in a similar head-to-toe red outfit just like the original poster. Sota will be playing Kim Soo Hyun’s character, an alien who has been living on earth for 400 years as a university professor.

The trailer promises many comedic moments as well as some eye candy, as Sota was seen showing off his muscular physique. There are slight cultural differences to adapt to the Japanese audience ,as the pair was seen eating yakitori rather than fried chicken like in the original.
