Tokyo Broadcasting System Television (TBS) has entered into a remake option agreement with Turkish production company Most Production to adapt its 1999 drama Le Bel Homme for Turkish audiences. Originally crafted by screenwriter Shinji Nojima, this drama has captivated viewers as an “adult romance.”

The script for the Turkish adaptation will be penned by Ipek Kadilar, renowned for her contributions to Flames of Desire (Hayat Şarkısı) and Glass Mask (Içimdeki Fırtına), both of which are adaptations of original Korean series. This project will be her inaugural experience in adapting a Japanese drama. “Being part of Le Bel Homme’s journey into Turkey as its writer is an exciting opportunity,” Kadilar expressed.

Should the Turkish adaptation proceed, it will represent the second international remake of the series, following the South Korean version that debuted in 2019.

Jun Fukai, General Manager of TBS Global Business Development Department, remarked: “We are thrilled to kick off the development of Le Bel Homme with a strong partner like Most Production, known for producing numerous successful films. We eagerly look forward to the day when Le Bel Homme, which has already been remade in Korea, will also grace Turkish screens.”
