Wa~ I hope it will be interesting! I want to see Anne's Yuuko!

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

I've only seen her in one drama...hope to see what she can do with Yuuko!

Really looking forward to this! Thanks for the info!

I cannot wait to see this! :) Does anyone know what sort of time period can be expected before it is released where one can see it with English subtitles?

unfortunately, jdrama subbers aren't very predictable. it should create some buzz being a popular manga, but english subs for jdramas usually don't come out fast.

popular kdramas seem to show up on hulu and dramafever, but jdrama companies have yet to deal with the english-speaking audience yet. wishes jdrama companies would get the hint.

That is disappointing, but thank you for letting me know.

This absolutely made my day!! I can't WAIT to get more info!! (like who's going to be playing Doumeki!!!!)

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

Yes, that should be interesting if the drama keeps that dynamic between him and Watanuki...hope they get someone good. :)

I can't help but wonder if they will have LA TrC as well since they appear in HOLiC.
