According to company founder Li Yi Fei, the live-action TV drama and anime will start out in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and other parts of Asia, with plans for a release in North America.

He also said that the live-action TV show isn’t easy, as they’ll need to make it into something that is acceptable for the existing fans, but they’re working on getting it broadcasted on TV soon.
