I am sure everyone who's interested has heard by now they are making a live-action version of Ouran High School Host Club. My expectations are not high. I adore the anime and the manga, but jdrama adaptations of manga rarely work for me (Hanadan being a big honking exception, rather than the norm). Twdramas, otoh ( Read more... )

The guy look like Lee HongKi, vocalist from FT Island.

I think it is! I remember wondering if he'd ever manage the Japanese. :P

Yup, it's him allright. FT Island spent almost a year in Japan. They just made their comeback to Korean ent scene last week.

Most serious k-popsters can speak Japanese these days. It's sort of a requirement.

*the stuff I pick up...* :)

It is :)

o.O You're right, he does look like Angelina Jolie!

Isn't it scary? It's the lips/cheekbones.

Omg Ouran High School Host Club live action!! Actually this is my first time hearing about it and I think they choose the right person for Tamaki. I'm not all that excited for the adaptation because Wallflower was not well done at all so I'm a bit worried to see what they would do with Ouran. The casting for the show looks pretty spot on though I must say.

Apparently it has a midnight showtime though which means although it could be wacky it will probably be low-budget...

dangermousie June 9 2011, 02:21:31 UTC

True. I have (feeble) hopes.

They are also going to reboot Hana Kimi. btw, does Hongki speak Japanese in Muscle Girl? 'Cause I can't stand a character speaking one language, while another speaks another... while they both seem to understand each other. For example, Spring Waltz.

Yup, he speaks Japanese pretty well.

Jdramas need to leave HK the heck alone. The first adaptation (I use the term loosely) was awful enough.

Yusuke-kun!!!! I've liked him since I saw him play an adorably dim high school student in Puzzle. He'll be great!

dangermousie June 9 2011, 02:22:23 UTC

Yay! Btw, I totally would love to hang out tomorrow.

nekobot01 June 9 2011, 13:40:04 UTC

Hey lady, can we do tomorrow? I had the worst night sleep ever last night and on Friday I can stay out later. :))) Do you want me to bring over a SI-movie?
