Japan remaking Ghost, and thus baffling me

How the hell did I miss that Japan is remaking Ghost?! With Song Seung Hun playing Swayze's part, and Matsushima Nanako playing Moore's part

SSH is really really popular in Japan (I can't blame them, the man is smoking) so that is probably why.

I like the original in its cheesy glory but think a remake would be fun.

Matsushima Nanako - I adore her, she was the female lead in one of my all time fave dramas - Majo No Jouken.

Really? I must have missed that. I swear, the only k-stars I saw in Japan were DBSK and Bae Yong Jun (I love that he's still ridiculously popular there). Either way, I am not complaining. Man is smoking indeed!

I tend to intensely dislike remakes, since most of them are just bad. However most of the remakes I see are American remakes of American movies. Having a different cultural spin on it will make it interesting.

I hear she's quite a good actress, but I will never forgive her for taking Takashi off the market. Ignore that, I sound crazy ;P

I know what I think _ I think there was enough cheese in the original "Ghost". Enough. but then again, an Asian remake can be darker and less cheesy?
