YOU Oct 31 2020 1:49 am The focus is on Manpyo Daisuke because that's how it is in the novel. The only reason the 2007 drama focused on Manpyo Teppei is because the character was played by KimuTaku.

Kou Oct 27 2020 5:54 am Whoa, a remake? I watched the 2007 drama, and it was an excellent drama with top notch actors. Let's see how this one turns out.

KD Mar 27 2020 8:50 am Looks like another adaption of Karei Naru Ichizoku, a novel by Yamasaki Toyoko of which there was a drama adaption back in 2007 starring Kimura Takuya. I'm not sure how faithful that adaption was to the book as I haven't read the novel, but it was one of the best Jdramas I've watched over the years. Cast and music was suberb too (I still listen to the main theme from time to time - so epic).

From the synopsis given here, it seems to suggest that the focus is on Manpyo Daisuke? I guess, we'll have to wait and see. I quite like Nakai Kiichi, so I can't wait to check it out. :) Hope we get a really good cast like in the 2007 version.

Saori Mar 14 2020 10:14 am Are they going to recycle Kimura Takuya's 2007 "Karei Naru Ichizoku"? Why would they repeat the same story again?
