GACKT praised the Japanese version of 'Marry My Husband.' He mentioned on his X (formerly Twitter) yesterday (14th), 'The drama recommended by my friends moved me for the first time in a while!' referring to the Japanese version of 'Marry My Husband.' 'I watched the Korean version, but the Japanese remake is overwhelmingly amazing,' he said, 'I was moved by the structure of the drama, the script rewritten for the remake, the developments, and the filming. I was seriously surprised that the same drama could be refined to this extent by Satomi Oshima's rewritten script. There are many other remakes, but honestly, most originals are better. In this case, the remake is overwhelmingly incredible. I heard that Korean director Ahn filmed the Japanese version. I wanted to see how they overcame the language barrier on set! 'Glory' was also extremely interesting, but I was surprised that such a different work could be created.' He praised director Ahn Gil-ho. Furthermore, 'What moved me the most was Takeru Sato's acting. I already liked his acting, but it was far more amazing than his previous performances. I was so moved that I directly contacted Takeru and told him, 'I was so moved! It was amazing!' At this point, I'm just a fan. Also, the heroine Fuka is great, but the performance of Rei, played by Seina Shiraishi, was incredible. How can she tremble her face so skillfully!? I tried to do it myself while watching the drama, but I couldn't do it well. I was so emotionally invested that I almost started to dislike her because she was so good,' he revealed, astonished by the performances of the cast. He also touched on the Korean production company Studio Dragon that handled this work, 'Moreover, this drama has a huge budget. Studio Dragon is amazing. I binge-watched it overnight for the first time in a while. I got so hooked. If Japanese dramas could invest this much budget, they could create even better works. I feel like interesting works are decreasing lately. I hope Japanese dramas can do better. If there are any works that were really good, please let me know.' The Japanese version of 'Marry My Husband' is the first Japanese video work produced in collaboration with CJ ENM and Studio Dragon. It has achieved the highest viewership in Japan among Amazon original dramas.
