The famed Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran sisters, writers of popular series "He's Beautiful," may write a sequel to the show.The sisters made the remark at a press conference held at TBS's headquarters in Tokyo of Japan on July 1 when asked if they have plans to write a sequel to the drama.
"It'll be hard to write it right away since we're working on a lot of other projects but we'll consider it seriously if the Japanese version of 'He's Beautiful' becomes a success," they said.
"He's Beautiful" which aired in Korea in 2009, became a smash hit overseas and in Japan in particular where it was aired three times up until April of this year.
Then TBS decided to create a Japanese remake of it set for premiere on July 15 with Japanese actress and former singer Miori Takimoto, boy band Kis-My-Ft2’s Tamamori Yuta and Fujigaya Taisuke, and boy band Hey!Say!JUMP’s Yaotome Hikaru taking on the roles played by Korean actress Park Shin-hye, singer-actors Jang Keun-suk, Jung Yong-hwa and Lee Hong-gi, respectively.
The Hong sisters also said they are looking forward to what the Japanese version of rock band A.N.JELL will be like, particularly their live performance and the scene where Tae-kyung (played by Jang) performs a surgery on a pig doll.
The Hong sisters are responsible for the success of many other Korean dramas as well including "My Girl," "Couple or Trouble," "My Girlfriend is Gumiho" and most recently, "The Greatest Love."
