A Classic Gets a 2020 Update
Very surprised to see listed on the Jdrama weblog of upcoming dramas a remake of the classic 1991 Oda Yuji/Suzuki Honami love drama "Tokyo Love Story" with Kentaro Ito and Anna Ishii in the roles of Kanchi and Satomi, along with Sho Kiyahara and Shizuka Ishibashi in the Eguchi Yosuke and Narimi Arimori roles.
Guess it's okay to update these old classics for a new generation of fans, but, as I mentioned in my review of SUITS, (the drama which reunited Suzuki and Oda for the first time in years), Honami Suzuki in the role of Satomi was absolutely one-of-a-kind and in my opinion can NEVER be duplicated!

Ah, but I guess we'll see how Anna Ishii does....
