I hope the fans are supportive and don't bash his wife. After giving us 20 years of his life, he deserves to be happy! Anyway, I'm happy for Nino and excited for the other Arashi marriages.
I'm looking forward to the Boys Over Flowers remake. They announced they got the copyright, which is a good sign it won't be a cheap copy of the story like Meteor Shower.
And nice article, I hadn't realized that remakes were also so popular in Asia.
It only makes since that Thailand would make Boys Over Flowers. Every version has been successful, even the bootleg versions like Meteor Shower (China) and Siapa Takut Jatuh Cinta (Indonesia). I'm looking forward to the Thai version & hoping they actually got the copyright for the manga.
I love PGSM!! It's so ridiculous but it has a certain charm about it. I didn't really expect it to be high quality, cause it's a tokusatsu series like Power Rangers.
I generally dislike the second male lead cause they really only serve as a device to get in the way of female and male lead. I've only had SLS twice (Answer Me 1994 and A Love So Beautiful), but even then I kept wondering why they didn't just give up! I definitely agree with you that a lot of second male leads are selfish.
Honestly, I really like that this series doesn't have any romance in it (except for the last scene). Because of that, it really sticks out in my mind. I would love to rewatch this drama sometime in the future!
