The Korean TV drama “My Love from the Star” once caused a wave of heat between Professor Doo and Qian Songyi, and this hit drama, which was broadcast in 2013, has now been remade into a Japanese version, and the trailer was exposed on January 19.
“My Love from the Star” tells the story of an alien man Do Min Joon (played by Kim Soo Hyun) who came to North Korea 400 years ago from outer space, and has been living in the present day, falling in love with top national actress Cheon Song Yi (played by Jun Ji Hyun). In the process, two people from different planets eliminate misunderstandings between each other and overcome dangers in pursuit of true love.
The male protagonist of the Japanese version of “My Love From the Star” and the university lecturer “Mr. Dongshan (Korean version Do Minjun)” is played by Fushi Sotai, and the heroine and popular actress “Sasahara Chun (Korean version of Qian Songyi)” is played by Yamamoto Mizuki The scenes that appear in the trailer are all familiar to fans of the show.
However, netizens think that Yamamoto Mizuki is too friendly and cute, and is not very convincing to play the role of “Qian Songyi”, and does not have the aura of Jun Zhixian. “The casting is not good, and I don’t feel like a top actress at all”, “The heroine is like the girl next door, not suitable for this role”, “It doesn’t feel right”, “The original version’s acting skills are really good, the Japanese version should be very hard.”
For Fushi Sotai, who has challenged the role of aliens for the second time, he thinks “Higashiyama Man” is very humane and charming, and said that he will respect the original work as much as possible to interpret; and Yamamoto Mizuki admitted frankly, taking over “Sasahara Tsubaki” The pressure of the role was great, because the Korean version of “My Love from the Star” was too popular, but fortunately, after reading the script, she found that “Sasahara Tsubaki” was a little different from the original “Song Yi”.
The Japanese version of “My Love From the Star” is scheduled to air on the streaming platform Amazon Prime Video on February 23.
