I don't really understand the concept of remakes except for lazy ass producers to earn some money in hope to score big like the predecessors. If I want to watch eg. Kimi wo Petto, I'll just go watch the old one, why would I want to watch a new version? I can get if it's a cross country remake (though most of them are ended up with butchered version), but same country?

Okay, let's say we're arguing with the newer generation may not know the older version and they would like to see the current star in the drama... REALLY? I don't buy this at all. Newer generation has their own story and themes, and the old drama theme may not work to the new generation taste. So does it mean TV station is force feeding its audience? No wonder rating keeps on going down LOL.

And I just realized that there're that many remakes in the recent year when I start diving into this topics and do some browsing, but I just don't have enough energy to do a consolidated list or these types of remakes.

PS: Nodame movies is definitely better than HYD because Nodame's is for story telling purposes to get to the ending while HYD is pure fan service LOL. And yeah, you're not missing much with all the remakes, both JP and KR version.
