Japan’s TV Asahi has acquired the rights to the Hong Kong version of hit boys love series “Ossan’s Love” and is expected to air the series in Japan, Variety has learned.
The 15-episode Hong Kong version, produced by Pccw’s domestic free-to-air channel ViuTV and which will conclude this Friday, is an adaptation of the Japanese series of the same name produced by TV Asahi. It is currently uncertain when the Hong Kong version will be aired in Japan and on which platform.
The Hong Kong edition stars Edan Lui and Anson Lo, members of the 12-piece local boy band Mirror, and veteran actor Kenny Wong. It follows closely the original plot of the Japanese original, in which a salaryman (Lui) is caught in a love triangle after both his boss (Wong) and flatmate (Lo) fall in love with him.
