As a huge fan of the original, I have to say, this sounds like a really interesting idea.

Totally agree. I’m not usually a fan of remakes in a different country, but the Korean angle is fascinating. Also a different time period. Hopefully a killer soundtrack like the original

The fact that, as they say in the article, this was an organic idea that came from the local office rather than some top down corporate mandate, gives me a lot more confidence in the idea.
