I've been dying to watch this!

Body count rises? So it's like another serial killer stuff ??

oh wow... being the kimutaku fan that i am, i've seen this jdorama... he's never been so gorgeously dangerous! the story is dark...

Wow, that's going awfully dark for a k-drama, if they stick to the original plot (it also has a whole lot more sex than most Korean shows). Kimutaku was great in the original but I'm not sure I'd want to go through this particular story line again.

That looks promising, I haven't watched the original one.
I hope that the team and the cast would be great

wow i just went to read the original's synopsis and it was DARK. i doubt tvn can stick to the original script. got a feeling that many components will be changed and it will be very different.

casting will be really really crucial. the 1st one that came to my mind is definitely kim jae wook, especially after seeing his awesome performance in the recent Voice. although i have been waiting for his 1st leading role in a romcom, i totally dont mind him picking this up before a romcom script lands on him lol!

Sounds interesting...and reading this reminds me how much I love Kimutaku.

I am verry curious to see how the k-Drama Version turns out. The j-dorama is intense and very good but addresses Topics which are usually avoided in k-Dramas. As tvn is privatly owned we can only hope...

The darkness of this rather twisted drama also reminds me of another Jdrama "The Perfect Insider" which is rather twisted and dark in a way too and also another Jmovie "Confessions", which is also a very twisted and dark one. I think Japan is kinda more open to such dark and twisted themes in their drama and movie.

I loved this j-drama so much that I had to register to make this comment, lol. It's my favourite Kimutaku drama. But more than Kimutaku, my favourite part of the original was the female lead Eri Fukatsu. She had this mix of cuteness, nervousness, and mystery that I think really helped the story, which was indeed very dark. I've read reviews comparing it to Greek tragedies, which touch upon themes of morality and prophecy. It would be a shame if the story gets changed for a "happier" note, because that would be really missing the point of the original.

ooh.. someone recommended it on open thread ages ago.. and that's when i watched it..

if they koreanize it.. well.. it would be awesome (you know minus the unique japanese style of acting and comedy .. and women acting like 4 yr oldS)

Can they also remake We Married as a Job? I loooove that jdorama!!!

This would be so great on OCN but nevertheless I'm intrigued

oh dear! If this is the J-drama I'm thinking of.... it's seriously dark. I'm hoping --fingers and toes crossed-- that it's not. But how many dramas are there out there with "a million stars" in the title?

Ohhhh...... I'm simultaniously happy and scared, since it's one of my favorite dramas. Even if they change stuff to make it less icky, I hope they keep it dark and twisty, because that was the main appeal for me. Now for the cast, I second Kim Jae Wook!

Wow, honestly this is the first bit of upcoming-drama news that I've been excited about in the longest time... I love love love the original, and have watched it maybe 3-4 times. Yes, it was twisted and dark, but there were also strong glimmers of hope and possibility throughout the drama. I loved the detective role, too, in addition to the two main leads (i.e., KimTaku and Eri Fukatsu).

As always, I have mixed feelings about remakes; how good tvn's version turns out will really depend on who gets cast...among other things. But this news excites me so much, I'm kinda really hoping they go through with this and remake it.

Eri Fukatsu delivered a quirky yet vulnerable performance. Many Korean actresses could pull that off, but I hope they don't cast someone too cute and pretty. It would be interesting to see someone unexpected, like Seo Hyun-Jin, in this... Or, maybe UEE (who is very pretty, and tall).

For the male lead, they need to cast someone whom many many girls/women would fall for--i.e., someone dripping with charisma and oozing with mystery. And...no one comes to mind!! haha..

A'way, I've had my say. Consider me in!

While Pride is my favorite Kimura Tayuka drama, HMSFTS is pretty darn good. I've seen it a few times and it is super dark. I just can't imagine it has a kdrama. But I'd be interested in seeing what they would do and how they would change it to suit the korean audience. I don't know, it could be a good remake. They certainly have the acting talent to pull like this off.

I remember that i dropped this drama because i though it was too dark for me at the time since i was into more comedy dramas. But I read only praises about the plot so i hope the remake is successful in Korea too.

Ohhh, now I can't wait to see it. Hope the casting director would cast the right actors with charms and skills that could hold up to the original.

OMG! That drama was epic. It brings back all the Kimutaku fangirling memories

Now I kind of want to go back and watch the original

I don't like when Japanese dramas that I really liked get remade. I just never get into the remade version at all. I've never seen this drama though , so I'll gladly check out this Korean version.

I wonder if tvN will pull a relative newbie and shoot him to stardom for this. It's been a while since I've seen new, breathtaking talent from them (Liar and his Lover notwithstanding).

Orrr....
Are they bringing in the Chungmuro hard hitters? Because I think we need soneone that goes all in.

I don't think I can take another Hundred Million Stars, but let's see who they'll get for the remake.

This can go sooooo wrong. No one can ever replace Kimura. okay...maybe I will settle for Gong Yoo. It is a twisted romance and Jdoramas do this do well. I remembered it blew my mind away with the ending and the plot. I wonder if TVN dare to challenge the topic on incest with the country so rooted in Confucisim. Its a sad ending when the lovers discover the truth. Everyone should watch the J version before Korea adds their own cultural touch to it.

Honestly it wasn't that dark compare to other jdramas, heck even I was sort of disappointed the first time I watched it because it was not up to the hype of how supposedly dark it was. But even when the length is only 12 eps 45 mins each I thought it was kinda slow, with typical kdrama length (16, 20 eps 60 mins each) it will probably move at a snail pace...

Oh my, lol.

They should cast park bo gum for this..

Oh, it's a Kimutaku drama! Haven't seen this one, but the plot looks really good!

I didn't watch this show but from the summary I know that it is full of twisted rs, incest and killings just to get the person they loved. Just that I don't get it why the title is A Hundred Million Stars From The Sky. Isn't it seemed too positive n bright for such a dark n twisted thema drama like this ??

Pride is the one they should remake. It was so awesome.

I've watched the original when I was younger, but I believe I didn't really understand the story at that time. Nor do I remember much what was going on, except that I got the sense that it's rather morbid. Now this post reminded me of it. Maybe I should give it another go.

hmm I remember watching the original years ago but I don't think I ever finished it. I found it quite slow and a little dated. The casting was spot on though (I later found out that the inspector characters actor is actually a comedian and was pretty shocked) and it was more explicit than I would expect a kdrama to go... I suppose a cable channel is the best place for it, though I don't really trust tvn.

I'm a HUGE KimuTaku fan and his role in this JDrama is one of (if not) the most twisted character he's ever played. Now, I'm wishing tvN would also do a Korean version of "Pride" or "Hero" or both.

As a asian drama fan(China,Taiwan,Japan and Korea), i like watching remake as they give a little change to the story which i look forward to. Korean remake (Operation Proposal, Dr. Jin, Playful Kiss) in general fail for me while japan remake (Maou, Hope - Kitai Zero no Shinnyu Shain,Ikemen Desu Ne) don't. There are decent kdrama remake but mostly no. I hope they don't destroy this drama as it is one of the classic and i know japan won't ruin "i am sorry i love you" as they rarely ruin remake and Nagase Tomoya is the lead. The lead in my opinion should be Song Jong Ki and Song Hye Kyo as Jong Ki act similar character in Innocent Man and Hye Kyo have similar aura with the actress in the drama in my opinion.

Please don't remake my favourite drama. No Korean broadcaster cable or not will go as dark and tragic as this story needs.
