Hiroaki Yuasa, best known for Ultraman and many acclaimed dramas, will serve as the director. Additionally, Atsuhiro Tomioka, one of the most renowned names in the anime industry, best known for One Piece, will be working as the series composer. On March 14th, the live-action shares its first teaser trailer, unveiling the story’s setting and premise. Additionally, the official website of Tokai TV also introduces supporting cast members, such as Shunsuke Kazama, Meari Hayashi, Noriko Nakagoshi, Yumi Adachi, Atsushi Hashimoto, Riku Onishi, Toshio Matsumoto, and Mari Hamada.

Since the drama will be broadcast in Japan, the setting and the names of the characters will be changed to Japanese for the audience. The official trailer shared a first look at the photo studio where the main characters work. It looks considerably different from the original and is located in Tokyo, but it has the same mysterious vibe to it. Toki (Cheng Xiaoshi) supports Hikaru (Lu Guang) as a co-owner of the studio to fulfill their clients’ wishes. Beneath the seemingly ordinary studio lies a secret about helping people overcome their past regrets.

This mystery time-travel story follows the main characters, who work in a small shop called โ€œTime Photo Studio.โ€ While their job appears to be fairly simple, the shop also provides a special service where the duo uses their supernatural abilities to enter photographs and grant the clientsโ€™ requests. However, while Toki can enter the past, he must not change it in any way. Toki can enter a photo and take over the body of the person who clicked it, while Hikaru navigates the past by looking at the pictures.

He makes the perfect partner to support Toki the entire time he is inside the photos. However, thereโ€™s one crucial rule Toki must abide by, no matter the cost. He has to leave the past untouched since even one wrong move would have grave consequences, more than anyone can handle. While you wait for the live-action series and the third anime season, donโ€™t forget to catch up with the first two seasons, which are currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
