Japanese actor Koshiba Fuuka expressed her affection for Korean works.

On the afternoon of the 26th, a production presentation for the Japanese version of the drama 'Marry my husband,' planned by CJ ENM and Studio Dragon, took place at the Ramada Hotel in Sindorim, Guro-gu, Seoul. The production presentation featured actors Koshiba Fuuka, Sato Takeru, and producer Son Ja-young, who discussed the project.

'Marry my husband,' based on the popular Naver web novel of the same name, is a drama that will be planned and produced by Studio Dragon and aired on tvN in 2024. The story follows a woman who, after witnessing her best friend and husband’s affair and being murdered, experiences a return to life and seeks revenge, providing thrilling catharsis and gaining immense popularity.

The Japanese version of 'Marry my husband,' titled '私の夫と結婚して,' is not a remake of the Korean drama, but rather a drama adapted from the web novel. CJ ENM JAPAN and Studio Dragon, Korea's largest drama production company, are in charge of planning, while Jiyuro Pictures, which produced the film 'The girl we liked at that time,' and Shōchiku (松竹撮影所), a major company with a long history in Japan, are involved in the production.

Koshiba Fuuka, who plays Kanbe Misa, a character living her second life (originally played by Kang Ji-won), said, "I have a lot of interest in both Korean dramas and films. Sometimes, my favorite movie is a Korean film. I was happy to work with Korean directors and producers, and when I received the offer, I immediately said I would do it with joy."

He mentioned his favorite movie as 'Miracle in Cell No. 7,' stating, "It was a moving work that I watched several times to the point my eyes swelled up." When asked if he had seen the Korean version of 'Marry my husband,' he replied, "I watched it after meeting the director. The director told me not to watch it if he hadn't seen it yet, but I did. It was so much fun. There’s a scene where the protagonist transforms at the reunion. I thought I must express the scene that captures the viewer’s heart clearly in the Japanese version. At the same time, I vowed to express Japanese emotions and sentiments well as I watched it."

Meanwhile, the Japanese version of 'Marry my husband,' titled '私の夫と結婚して,' will be released for the first time on Amazon's video streaming service Prime Video at midnight on the 27th.
