Reflections on Korean Drama
Fuka Koshiba enthusiastically revealed her appreciation for Korean films and dramas, stating, “I’m a big fan of Korean films and dramas. Many of my favorite movies are Korean.” Her experiences collaborating with Korean directors and production teams have further enriched her understanding of the genre. When asked about the original Korean version of ‘Marry My Husband,’ Koshiba noted that despite the director’s advice to avoid watching it, she found the show compelling and suspenseful, with her heart racing throughout.
The Impact of Iconic Scenes
One particular scene in ‘Marry My Husband’ left a lasting impression on Koshiba: the protagonist’s transformation during a school reunion. She emphasized, “It completely grabs your attention,” and expressed her desire to replicate such standout moments in the Japanese version. The adaptation, titled ‘私の夫と結婚して’ (Watashi no Otto to Kekkon Shite), aims to blend emotional nuances unique to Japanese storytelling while maintaining the essence of the original narrative.
As the show is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video at midnight on June 27, 2025, the collaboration between CJ ENM Japan, Studio Dragon, and Shochiku raises expectations for this cross-cultural project. Directed by Ahn Gil-ho and written by Satomi Oshima, ‘Marry My Husband’ promises to offer a visually captivating experience with the combined creativity of both Korean and Japanese talents.
