Ok I just found out that there was a drama, or tv show for those who aren't familiar, and I was wondering if anyone has seen it. It seems to be the same plot and everything, just different actors. I believe it was on early this year in Japan.
shareNot yet seen it but if you can read japanese, more info are on :

enjoy
I have the DVD and I love it. However, I'm not happy with the remake 'cause if you look at it with different people, (not that they can't act) it will surely have comparison and I just think that Hollywood people are too lazy and stupid to write something refreshing for the film industry. However, no offense, I don't think that Jennifer Gardner is a good for that role because, she can't be cute like (13 going on 30) or strong will Electra. However, she don't seen to have the softer looking type because the actress in the film show a much softer side and house-wife type of women is needed for that role. Jennifer Gardner have cute and strong, but not soft and house-wife type.
shareI just saw the Japanese TV drama not the movie I really like the story and it good that Jennifer Garner is playing MIO, by watching the drama I was thinking they should cast Mark Ruffalo as the husband I know that they did a movie together 13 going on 30, I don't mind if they team up again if not they should cast Patrick Wilson. I also see Keri Russell in playing MIO. Well Keri Russell and Patrick Wilson should be Aio and Mio in American version of this movie.
shareYou can see the drama on crunchyroll.
The drama was sweet but I think the movie was much more magical and sweet.
And Yuko Takeuchi as Mio is fantastic even if Mimura did her best.
I know I'm going to hate the remake, the japanese version was so wonderful.

I did see the drama first and then took a look at the movie.
Well, what can I say? I was disappointed. I think the cast was way better in the drama.
Nakamura as Takumi? Naaah! He looked way to healthy and was too strong for a character with such issues and problems. I just liked the guy from the drama better... Same for the actors of Yuji~
But as always - it's a matter of taste! ;)
The story is cute and worth watching it. Wether as movie or as drama!
Quote: Same for the actors of Yuji~
How come? The main-actor of Yuji in the drama is the same as in the movie (Akashi Takei, as far as I know the only one of the cast who plays the same role in both, the drama and the movie).
