Deja vu about deja vu...

According to dramabeans, Korea is remaking Proposal Daisakusen, the fluffy jdrama of some years back about a young man given a chance to change things at the wedding of his best friend whom he hopelessly loves. Starring in Yamapi's role is Yoo Seung Ho, finally in an age-appropriate role (I love the boy, but there is no question that his roles in

I dropped out of Boys Over Flowers fifteen minutes in, after I saw the boy who was bullied to the point of suicide was played for laughs. Not even Lee Min Ho can redeem that for me.

I also have a Thing against must-stop-the-best-friend's-wedding stories--obviously she doesn't love YOU, as she's marrying some other guy, so stop being selfish and give her up! Going back in time to change the way you acted before might actually work, though. I'll wait to hear more about this drama before I make my mind up. :)

I liked the manga and the Taiwanese version because they actually followed through with the 'actions have consequences' motif - while the boy being bullied scene didn't happen in either, there was an equivalent in severity incident that Domyouji was involved in some years ago that he gets pretty badly punished for and it's viewed as appropriate and a sign of his growth.

One of the things I liked is that in manga and twdrama, Makino understandably made him jump through a million hoops until she was ready to believe he was a human being. (jdrama tried but was too constrained for time to do it effectively imo). In BOF, she was basically 'you are hot so I don't care' which is idiotic.

My reaction to reading about who the writer is: o_O

Not that I'm the least bit interested in this regardless who the writer is....

I think it might actually be more entertaining than the original - the original was just bland, this mught be epically bad.

I've never heard of The Empress but now I have to go watch it.

And Korean Boys over flowers was sad. Just plain sad.

viki has it. It's excellent.

ProDai would have been a fun movie but the premise was too slim for a jdrama. Which makes me wonder how it will work for an even longer kdrama running time.

Please tell me someone will get amnesia.

Screwing up Hanadan should be impossible. That is why I want to tune into ProDai - this is going to be an epic, one-of-a-kind trainwreck.
