In the meantime, Japan has jumped on board (after years of fighting over the rights) with their own remake of MY SASSY GIRL. SMAP member Kusanagi Tsuyoshi is the male lead and Rena Tenaka is taking on Jeon Ji-Hyun's classic part. It's a television drama for TBS and it's set to air in April...probably long before the American remake hits theaters.
The character backgrounds and plot details will be changed for the drama. While the protagonists in the original film were college students, this time the pair will be a marine biology professor (Kusanagi) and an aspiring writer (Tanaka).
