*** "Vincenzo"  is making a comeback as US remakes. Remaking a series typically involves selling the remake rights to an overseas studio, which then recreates the series without the involvement of the original creators. However, in this case  Studio Dragon, the original creator of the show, did not sell the remake rights to US studios. Rather, it is collaborating with US counterparts to remake the series from their very foundations. Collaborations with overseas studios in producing content from scratch is rare, as numerous intellectual property rights issues and on-set regulations often complicate the filming process. The advantage of collaborating with an overseas studio for production lies in profitability. Producing a series together with a US studio reaps great profits.

*** I must say the synopsis of "My Youth" did not grab me much at first look. But, I like how Song Joong Ki is building his filmography. That's why, he has solid fan base. I hope this drama will be good. Good for Joong Ki for playing something really different from before. The plot sounds fine but, kind of plain. I'm not sure what the "hook" is but, that maybe the trademark of the writer. I think it's going to be a great drama.
