If Japan made a drama version of Skip Beat, who would you want the actors to be?

ueno juri would be an awesome kyouko. and i personally think tamaki or yamapi would make an awesome ren. takky wuld be the perfect shou

OMG Sirota Yu would be so incredibly perfect for Ren!!!!! He totally pulls off the half American / Half Japanese look (even if he's half Spanish XD) and wow that's just perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!! More Shirota Yu fans!!! The pics I put on page 1 of this forum are very very Ren-like I think he'd be great!!!!

I HOPE Japan does a drama soon I'd watch... heck I wonder if I'd even pay someone money to watch (just out of curiosity and fangirl love - and yes I know they're free online...but still)

:D

I think Gackt would be great either as Ren or Sho.


Oguri Shun from what i've seen him in--He's always do the cool, quiet roles; it'll be really interesting to see him do a funny role b/c sho has his moments especially when he's obsessing about kyoko. However I can also see him doing either Ren or Sho.
Kyoko!? I love this actress from Hana Yori Dango. She's really good at presenting strong and complex characters like kyoko. MAO INOUE!!!




I just really care about who they cast for those 3 characters the rest I'm sure they can get someone suitable for the characters. I've heard rumors that they will do a skip beat live action pretty soon although i dunno when or if the rumor is true so don't trust me on that information. It'll be great if they did!

Mogami Kyoko: Aya Ueto (Looks exactly like Kyoko and she is quite good in acting ^^) / Kyoko fukada / Horikita Maki

Tsuruga Ren: Jun Kaname / Hayami Mokomichi /

Fuwa ShoTAROU (LOL): Miura Haruma / Oguri Shun /

Moko: Kuroki Meisa (so pretty ^^) / Mizukawa Asami / Mika Nakashima /

Maria: Yoshida Riko /

Yashiro: Mukai Osamu / Yamapi /

Takarada: Kaga Takeshi / Mikami Hiroshi /


There are no problems in picking up the cast for Skip Beat Drama since there are quite a few suitable actor and actresses out there. But the problem lies on how good the actors / actresses can act well since skip beat is so much interesting because the different personalities each character has.

Moreover, China is doing the Chinese version of Skip Beat (Let's see how Ariel Lin and Jerry Yan act as Kyoko and Ren), and I hope Japan will follow them soon by doing the Japanese Version ^^

i agree 50% with krissanean about Yu... kriss, u have a point about how tall Yu are and his Europe looking and fits Ren's image, but i or maybe someone out there need a Japanese actor that really a Japanese and i know Yu too a Japanese but u understand right? and Yu face seems like a child to me(or only me thought like that?) too childish... haha... well everyone has their opinion.. for each their own!

but to me, i like....



that's my very own opinion! hahaha! i think i pick the right person, nee??(i think laa) okari sama deshta!
so if u want to comment my opinion i'll accepted it with pleasure but don't add spicy things okay?? yoroshiku onegaishimasu! (feels like that I WAS the director. hohoho!!!) *stupid me! TEE-HEE!!!!

Kyoko played by Horikita Maki, shes my fave actress so i chose her haha but honetly i wonder if she could pull off kyoko's hatred for sho...


lol this one really looks kyoko because the uniform is similar, shes reding a bike and shes smiling happily just like kyoko!
Ren played by Nishikido Ryo i thought he could capture Ren's intense glares, smiles and stares pretty well.

My second choice would be yamapi

and my third would be kamenashi kazuya

And Akanishi Jin as Fuwa Sho


doesnt the last just scream fuwa sho(some might hate me for casting Akinishi Jin as the jerk guy of the manga but i just thought he would fit the roll sorry )

oooooooooooooooook

for Ren: I recommand MatsuJun, I know he is not the right hight but,,he CAN CERTAINLY pull Ren off
I mean his acting is good! and besides there are mistakes done in dramas anyway so it won't realy hurt that much if he's not thaaaaat tall,
would it?:phew:





For Shou: I recommand Shun



oooooooook I know for AFACT that Oguri is taller the Matsu...that'd be hilarious LOL but it's not time to be amused right ?

ahem anyway..and as for Kyoko: wellll there is Aya and there is the actress of Hana Yori Dango, she is a good one

for Ren i have a perfect yummy man of mix orgin, he really is half n half..
Daniel Henney.. he has the mature older look but still young.. mhhhmmm.. he did some amazing jobs acting in...[
""X-Men Origins: Wolverine as David North / Agent Zero (Hollywood debut) (2009)
My Father as James Parker (2007)
Seducing Mr. Perfect / Seducing Mr. Robin as Robin Heiden (2006) "

Honestly guys, I don't see any other actor to portrait Ren except for Shirota Yuu. He not only has the exact looks(being half japanese, half spanish) but also facial expressions that, in my opnion, match Ren/Kuon. Some people said Ren had to be older, but don't forget 20 years old is not THAT old(Shirota himself is older than that) and Ren is supposed to be fcking HOT (something that Yuu definetely is, in terms of face, body...*drools*). If they ever make a drama and only choose pop actors, instead of considering these details, they won't be able to get the story at all.

Talk about hotness...

About Sho, I think Matsumoto Jun would really make a good one, but well, I guess he's got some height problems. Still his style matches Sho soooo much. He also made many people bite their tongues when they said he couldn't portrait Tsukasa in Hana yori dango, he was very funny and cool in this hole and gave a totally Tsukasa feeling. So I dunno: style, yes, height no ><'
For Shun, no way, he looks too old in my opnion, sho has some "annoying boy" feeling.

Kyoko no idea, she has to look sweet but be able to get dark and determined. I haven't seen an actress that would give that feeling yet. Mao looks a good actress, but somehow I can't imagine her very much, I may be wrong though.

I love that actor and agree with your pick because he does look somewhat foreign being part Spanish

i agree with what both of you said regarding matsujun :D. he could be an awesome ren if it wasn't for his height . i mean, he really is a great actor and model which is basically what ren is, right? he would just use the same trick as he did in hana yori and all his dramas: his strong and convincing acting skills!! ahh and i can't wait to see him smile like ren (thet evil pure smile XD)

it would also be really interesting if matsujun would play sho. he looks really good with any kind of hairstyle and jun with blonde hair is just HOT!! plus, he can really sing and it would be fun seeing him wearing sho's style of clothing well, the biggest challenge for him in acting this role is whether he could make us hate him or be annoyed by him (his role is sho after all)

i agree with oguri shun not be able to portray sho's role. he's a good actor but sho's role is just not really suitable for him. plus, he's too tall :D.

as for considering other actors, i choose kenichi matsuyama as another option for ren. his acting is also really convincing and he also has the height, don't you think? plus, he's really hot :D

and as for another option for sho, ikuta toma would be great. his look in hana kimi would be appropriate for the role of sho. he can sing and the playboy image suits him very well. plus ikuta's style as junpei (in hana yori dango, when he was posing for a magazine) really fits sho's image :D

and as for the heroine: KYOKO!! it's really hard to find someone that fits her role. she's very unique. but would you consider erika sawajiri on the list?? she really has amazing acting skills. she can play the innocent long haired kyoko just like her role in taiyou no uta and one liter of tears . i believe that she could also pull off kyoko's lively transformation and dark aura. she looks really pretty with short blonde hair. so. what do you think??

No matter what, so far, the only actor I can see matching Ren's idea is Yuu.
About sho, I still go for jun! His "boyish" style" in HYD is a proof he would be just perfect as the immature sho fuwa xD! And I don't see him as a good Ren, I guess he is even more baby faced than the others that were pointed so far, not to mention the height problems.



Somewhat? xD
To be honest, if he came to my country and nobody knew him, there's NO WAY someone would think he's japanese, except maybe, for his hairstyle.

I agree with SHirota Yuu, well Ren actually is a half so he must got the look. It's hard to find someone that got fitting looks for him and he is 190cms to boot,not to be picky if the man at least not 185 cms... I though it would be no good but Japanese that tall is quite rare ne?
Beside if he has no foreign look at all it would look weird when he appeared as Kuon.

BTW... Hizuri Kuu is half Japanese-American and Juliena (his wife) is American so? Kuon is 3/4 American and 1/4 Japanese ha ha ha...
I am sure there is so many actor can be Sho since he is not too complicated character and his looks... i can see many Japanese musician got his looks ^^

BTW beautiful with make up ever tried on Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi henge drama, I forget who is the actress who act as Sunako... but she is not a cute type. But she is quite pretty with make-up
