Tokyo Broadcasting System Television (TBS) sealed a remake option agreement with Turkish production company Most Production for its 1999 drama "Le Bel Homme." The drama was originally written by Shinji Nojima, and this turkish version will become the second overseas remake, following the South Korean version produced in 2019.
Most Production is a production company founded in 1985 by Mustafa and Gül Oğuz. Gül Oğuz, Director at Most Production, comments “We are excited to be producing the Turkish version of Le Bel Homme which we believe that it will be a big hit here in Turkey and rest of the world”.
Jun Fukai, General Manager of TBS Global Business Development Department, said, “We are very pleased to begin the development of Le Bel Homme with a strong partner, MOST PRODUCTION, which has produced numerous hit movies. We eagerly anticipate the day when Le Bel Homme, which has been remade in Korea, will be broadcast in Turkey as well.”
The script for the Turkish version of the film will be written by Ipek Kadilar, whose previous credits include "Flames of Desire" (Turkish: Hayat Şarkısı) and "Glass Mask" (Turkish: Içimdeki Fırtına) , both based on the original Korean series. This remake will mark her first experience adapting a Japanese drama. Ipek Kadilar comments, “As being part as the writer for Le Bel Homme, I am excited to share this TBS hit drama into Turkey.”
