niceeee(: i can't wait for them to announce the female lead!!:D

this is DEFINITELY a WIN in my opinion^^

can't wait to hear who the female lead will be. it better be someone hella fierce or else ima be super disappointed.

He sure looks like momo with that curly hair.

Thanks God... It is not Kim Hyun Joong... A great decision of the producer, director, and investors of this drama...

*Prances around in delight* YYYYeeeees! A dream come true! I hope the movie's good - Matsumoto Jun is kind of a hard act to follow up but I have faith in JGS! ...Now, if only they would announce the female lead so I can profess to have faith in her too...

I only wish it were a drama rather than a movie. I think Su Ae would be faaabulous as the lead (she gives off vibes that are similar to the Japanese actress, no?)

ahahaha I'm more looking forward to him playing a role like this.
To be honest, I didn't like JGS in You're Beautiful. I don't even know if it was just the character or the acting, but it was just a bit too ... 오글오글(awkward/mushy?) for me.

Definitely can see him as Momo--I thought he was channeling MatsuJun all through YAB. lol. :D

oh wow i remember reading about this but i didnt think about it too much, and then by coincidence i decided to watch kimi wa petto a few weeks ago. it was pretty good.

he looks like momo with that hair. i wonder who the female lead is gonna be because the lady in the drama did a really good job. i really liked her character and her friend was hilarious.

i am really looking forward to this.. i have seen the jap version and i think JGS will do justice to the role of MOMO.. I think it's hard to find a Korean actress taller than him, so based on Sumire' character (except the height), I'd think Kim Sun Ah would be perfect.. She can be funny and sophisticated.. Soo Ae would be nice too. I think JGS will be happier if the producers choose the latter cause he confessed in Ideal Girl World Cup show that Soo Ae is his ideal type =)

wow. I was afraid the curls would not suit him.
But they do!
I can't wait. I hope it is subbed for us to enjoy :)

So, the transformation is nearly complete. Gotta kick in some Momo spirit... all I see is a facade of Takeshi so far.

OMG, the curls look better on him than on MatsuJun, haha. I think it would be a good role for him because I think he'd play Momo really well. 8D

Makes me excited!!

@obivia. I totally agree. I do wish it had been made into a movie. KWP is a light and fun story, but a movie length would mean it will leave out a lotta details.

OH MY GOD!! yayyyy!! he looks totally cute with his hair like that~~ <3 i think i could stare at that picture all day!!
good thing i was in study hall and not in class when i saw this, cuz i'd totally interrupt everyone! XD

i'm so excited for this already!!

Adorable hair! Looking forward to this!!!

OMG YES. This is made of so much win. :O

I'm not usually excited about cross-culture adaptations, because something always tends to get buggered up, but this already sounds awesome. (Plus, the fact that it's going to be a film means less time for the scriptwriters to try to eke 16+ episodes out of a 9-episode Jdrama/however short the manga was.)

I think JGS is going to be perfect for this. I don't really have any particular female leads in mind, but I'm sure they'll choose someone good. :)

Yesss!!! I'm so happy! I think he'd be perfect for the part~
I also wish this were a drama rather than a movie but beggars can't be choosers eh? :)

Yeah... I can't wait. MatsuJun did an excellent job in the series and I am confident that JGS will do an excellent job as well. All I worried about is the female lead. I wish that Kim Su Ah will take this roll. Actually, the girl from stars falling from the sky will be a good fit too, however, I don't think she is talk enough. Can't wait.

OMG I'm completely dying right now!! XD
*flails*

I'm seriously praying that they don't jack this up by making the female lead work at some fluff job instead of being an Elite Toudai/Harvard graduate International News reporter like Sumire was. 8|

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!! what a great year so far! :D

Excited!!! Hope the female lead would be Soo Ae.

Whose playing his mother? I am antsy on finding out who portrays such a strong character.

I think JGS needs to continue practicing his Takeshi character building. I know certainly his Momo attributes are widely accepting.
