well gonna watch the japanese version now. I just finished Beach Boys and GTO a Nanako Takashi reunion wiuld be amamzing now. Hope good cast in korean ver.

Sounds awesome! I heard of the drama but never watch it.

I guess it depends on the casting for me. I can picture someone like Ha Ji Won will be perfect for the female lead character. Then again, i don't know if she will be up for another remake.

I'm also a bit wary because the Japanese manga and live action of Hana Kimi were great but the Korean remake of it (To The Beautiful You) was horrible :(

It's a pretty good drama (even if I prefer Takenouchi's Rondo).

It has a pretty Japanese vibe though – not impossible to adapt, though I'd be more optimistic if it were being made into a Korean film (it'd be something like "Helpless"). It could work as a drama, as long as they focus on the thriller aspect more so than on the romance, even if romance does play a role.

despite my long running love for jdramas, this drama i have not seen. it was a bit before my time since i cant think of any jdrama i watched that aired pre 2001. so i dont have any strong feelings there.
but i do want to say, that it sucks to hear taht Cantabile Tomorrow did so poorly ratings. i wasnt expecting it to beat BOF even tho it was a much better drama than BOF. and while NT def didnt catch the charm of the original (which i liked but the only bit that rly impressed me was the music and the two leads hilarious OTT energy) but then BOF sure didnt either. and its not HYD didnt have its flaws as well but BOF was just an offensive trainwreck nightmare.
I guess NT was neither good enough nor bad enough to engender the kind of..uh.."passionate" response that BOF did. too bad. altho Joo Won get's an A for effort at least lol.

I enjoyed Fated to Love You alot tho! I never saw the original (i rarely watch twdramas tbh) but i like to judge adaptations independent of each other. and i think big kudo should go to Jang Nara and Jang Hyuk for that. they thrived in the comedy bits but also nailed the dramatic bits, esp Nara. she can turn on a dime from tragedy to comedy. If only NT had managed to be half as funny lol.
To the Beautiful You was very funny but Im p sure at least 60 percent of it was unintended haha.

There are quite a few jdramas and mangas that i am surprised korea has yet to attempt to adapt tho. this comment is already too long so i wont go into it but like, someone in SK should get on it posthaste imo.

Ice world is my all time favorite Japanese drama, and I have all the series cd. If they really want to do the remake please do it right.

I never watch this but I've heard of this,
I just hope they can do it good,

I actually watched the japanese version more than 10 years back! It was really good n intriguing! Excited for the Korean remake!

NO. NO. NO. Just no. C'mon, I'm sure there are plenty of Korean source materials that are marvellous and just waiting to be discovered. Pick one of those!

writter of man called good? that drama with song seunghoon and shin se kyung? ouch no!! That drama was horrible

Not fan of the genre but I watched Ice World because of my love for both actors. I think remaking movie is not necessarily bad idea. Though at the moment I couldn't think of any actors that might perfect for the role.

I haven't watched this one, but I think this type of atmosphere/storyline might be easier to adapt into the culture of kdrama so I won't scoff this remake off just yet. If they tried some offbeat mystery like, say, Atami no Sousakan then it'd turn into a disaster for sure lol. Kdramas don't do quirky that well, that's why some of their jdrama remakes fail so badly like Cantabile Tomorrow.

i remember this drama.its really has the mysterious vibes and i believe the script is the one that hold the important roles because even me as the viewer think that the drama deliver the question that is loves form a women worth a lives . If only i have the complaint, i would say that i hope they drop the hint even if it just a tiny and unimportant hint more along the series rather than force the viewer all the clue at the end of the story.

I liked this drama, but I liked nemureru mori more which aired one year earlier better. This is my favorite genre of j dramas - dark romantic mysteries. Another good one might be N no Tameni which is a bit ore recent. I hope they do make a remake because I think a Korean version would be interesting and there are some great actors that I can picture playing the roles.

"The adaptation is being written by Park Seung-hye, who was a writer on A Man Called God and East of Eden"

Oh yeah, the script is sooo going to tank! Please get a good scriptwriter at least. If they can't get a good one, then please please don't ruin a classic by remaking it.

It sounds interesting/

This sounds really interesting.

Interesting.... Lets see whom they chose for the cast. BTW - I hated Korean remake of Fated to Love You. Jung Hyuk with his crazy laugh is unbearable.

I'm wary, I didn't like the Korean Fated to Love You I feel like since the cultures are different a lot of things essential to making the story what it is get washed away when remade.

But I've also never watched this movie, so clearly I must. I do like the existential crisis theme in so much of Japanese media (manga or not, man imagine a Pandora Hearts drama though)

my all time favourite J-drama, it has an intriguing story (unfortunately the scriptwriter committed suicide several years ago), amazing leads (acting and looks wise), likeable supporting cast and awesome ost. i'm interested to see who kbs will be casting as the female lead. She's the key character to the entire story, mysterious, dangerous, strong yet vulnerable as the male lead digs deeper into her past. Matsushima Nanako is fascinating and charismatic in this drama, one of her best performances. Yutaka Takenouchi is charming as well.

Wow, when I first saw the picture I thought it was Otani Ryohei...

First actors that came to mind: Ji Chang Wook and Moon Chae Won
