dangermousie says she never wants a jdrama remake of Legend, but I think it'd be awesome, and I've been considering the possible cast...
Dam Duk = Mabo
YOU KNOW IT. He's sexy, he's fierce,
he looks great with Fabio hair. And he already thinks he's Jesus, so it wouldn't be that hard to play him.
Sujini = Shibasaki Kou
She would make the most awesome faces at Mabo and their banter would be killer. "Who else dares to drink in the grand palace?" Then she can go black phoenix battle royale and slaughter everyone.
Kiha = Yonekura Ryoko
She would own. Gorgeous, self-assured, can play the hell out of powerful crazy. I've read somewhere she even has a reputation for her all "wicked woman" roles, so she's perfect.
(My other choice is Maya Miki, just to watch her set someone's head on fire. "NO MORE SUPPORTING ROLES!")
Hottie McTreeFace = Hot Wafflemaker
He can speak Japanese! ...What, it's not like there's a lot to Treeface.
