-What...? I wonder who's going to be the main character...
-Do they really have to do this? They seem to be really like remaking Japanese drama. They shouldn't have done this.
-Hul... The original is really perfect. I wonder how's the Korean version going to be.
-There are a lot of Japanese dramas that are remade into Korean versions, but not a lot of them did well...
-The original drama has perfect story line, acting skills, and OSTs, though...
-Hul... That sounds amazing. I hope they'll have nice OSTs.
-This drama is not that good, but people seem to love it so much. I personally think the only good thing this drama has is their OSTs.
-Whoa... I wonder who's going to be the main character. More importantly, the OSTs.
-These days, I don't even look forward to Korean remakes of Japanese dramas anymore...
-Don't you think this drama is too 'Japan' to be remade into Korean version...?
-Please, stop remaking Japanese drama. You know it's all just going to flop.
-Unnatural is my favorite drama. I wonder how are they going to remake this drama. I hope it's going to be good, though.
-I really enjoyed watching the original drama. Somehow, I'm just not that excited to watch the remake one.
