9 K-Drama Remakes That Are More Popular Than The Originals

 

Remakes can be a hit or miss as some surpass the original dramas while others fail. These K-drama remakes are better known compared to the originals.

 

Remakes are a risky and ambitious venture, even for something as popular as K-dramas. Where original series have the advantage of offering something new and exciting, remakes have to find a way to draw viewers in with stories that have already been told verbatim most times.

 

There's a long list of popular K-drama remakes which continues to grow longer. Despite the repetition of storylines in remakes, many are known better than the original stories they're based on, proving that rehashed material can be just as exciting with some tweaks, twists, and turns.

 

9. Boys Over Flowers (2009)

 

 

The South Korean series follows Geum Jan-di, a working-class girl, who gets a scholarship to attend a prestigious school for the elite. From her first day, Geum Jan-di clashes with Gu Jun-pyo, leader of the notorious F4. He goes to great lengths to make her time at school miserable but she proves her resilience every time until the hatred between them begins to evolve into something else.

 

The series is a remake of a Taiwanese drama, Meteor Garden, which was an adaptation of a Japanese manga titled, Hana Yori Dango. This was later adapted into a Japanese drama before the South Korean version was released. The Lee Min-ho led drama also kickstarted the interest in and popularity of K-dramas.

Lee Min Ho and his early dramas: what did the famous actor look like before “Boys over flowers”?

 

In 2022, Lee Min Ho marks the 16th year of his television career. How was the beginning of one of the most popular K-dramas figures?

 

Lee Min Ho marks his official debut in 2006, although he started appearing in dramas since 2003. 

 

Lee Min Ho, the Korean actor with the most followers on Instagram, celebrates 16 years of professional career between k-dramas and blockbuster movies . His latest achievement, internationalization through the "Pachinko" series , could make him an Emmy nominee.

 

In his extensive list of K-dramas, Lee Min Ho's most popular character was undoubtedly Gu Jun Pyo. “Boys over flowers” (2009) is the point of reference that marks a before and after in his life. The story that she starred in with Go Hye Sun reached 33.7% ratings in South Korea and the image of 'F4' was etched in popular culture.

 

After playing the heir to the Shinhwa group, Lee Min Ho was not short of work. But years ago, he lived a different situation. In an interview for 10Asia in 2013, Lee revealed that in his time as a rookie actor he too experienced rejection at auditions and his mother inspired him to persevere.

 

Below, we explore Lee Min Ho's debut and the small projects he did before he became 'the king of Hallyu'.

 

Lee Min Ho's first drama

 

 

Lee Min Ho started out a supporting actor at age 16 in “Sharp” (2003), a school series starring Go Ara, Seo Hyun Suk, and Yoo Ah In. Lee was just another student in history.

 

Next on the list is “Nonstop 5″, a six-season sitcom produced by MBC. Lee Min Ho was invited to an episode in the 2004 season and also played a student.

 

The following year, when Lee Min Ho was 18 years old, he acted as a waiter in the drama “Recipe of love”, or also called “Love Hymn”, which stars Jang Seo Hee and Jeon Kwang Leol.

 

Spoiler

 

 

At 19 years old, Lee Min Ho entered “Secret campus” (2006),which is officially considered his debut project, since his character had more breadth than in the series mentioned above.

 

Although he returned to acting as a student, the plot of “Secret campus” addressed issues such as bullying, mental health, and friendship or love relationships between students. Here he starred with Park Bo Young, who also considers this series as her acting debut.

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

The student Lee Min Ho

 

Lee Min Ho still wore a high school uniform for a few more years. His first leading role was the comedy, "Mackerel Run," in 2007, where he teamed up with actress Moon Chae Won and worked with Park Bo Young again.

"Mackerel run" did not get the expected rating and had to be reduced to eight episodes during its first broadcast.

 

 

Spoiler

 

That same year, Lee Min Ho also acted in a supporting role for “I am Sam” from KBS, a series inspired by the Japanese comic Kyōkasho ni Nai! He thus he looked like the son of the director of the school.

 

Spoiler

 

In 2008, three other projects with Lee Min Ho were released: the drama “Get up” and the movies “Public enemy returns” and “Our school's ET”.

From Lee Min-ho to Han So-hee, 7 Korean stars who made a comeback in 2022

by Tanzim Pardiwalla | May 12, 2022

 

 

Everyone loves a good comeback story. This year we have a Korean heartthrob playing a troubled character in a show filled with award-winning stars, a beloved actress playing her most intense role yet and an unpredictable magical act. Those are a few examples among many. It sure is a good time to be a K-drama fan as 2022 marks the comeback of several popular Korean stars. Between Lee Min-ho joining the finest Asian talents in a global multi-lingual series and Park Min-young returning to do what she does best in a workplace drama, there’s enough to keep one entertained. They did not disappoint upon return. So without further ado, here are 7 Korean stars who made their buzz-worthy comeback in 2022:

 

Lee Min-ho

 

 

Korean megastar Lee Min-ho has been stealing scenes (and hearts) ever since he first appeared in Boys Over Flowers. He is one of the reliable actors and with his latest series Pachinko, he has perhaps delivered his career-best performance. The sprawling series that revolves around Korea's colonial history has an ensemble cast of talented stars including Oscar-winner Youn Yuh-jung. Lee Min-ho plays Koh Hansu. And mind you, this isn't a romantic hero, not by a long shot. With Hansu, the actor had a unique opportunity to inhabit a complex character - a man with criminal ties who tempts a young girl Sunja (Minha Kim) into an illicit affair. Min-ho dug deep with this role as he also plays the younger version. Pachinko is an emotional saga that doubles up as a celebration of human resilience. It might already be one of the best shows out there and some of the best scenes in it feature the star. It's unlike anything he's done before but the risk has paid off.

Lee Min Ho's "fanboy" reaction made everyone laugh a lot and even burst out laughing, saying, "Handsome men know handsome men."
Shortly after, Lee Jong Jae also made everyone freeze when he uploaded a photo he took with Lee Min Ho to his personal page.

At the time, this photo was considered the most powerful shot when both were top cult actors on the Korean screen.

 

 

Lee Min Ho and Lee Jong Jae had the opportunity to work together in the movie Pachinko. They also became close after filming together, despite their age difference.

In a recent video, Lee Min Ho didn't hesitate to praise Lee Jong Jae as someone who defied the times, the "Squid Game" actor also returned compliments to his younger ones.
Fans also humorously pointed out that they are "the powerful couple of the Lee family."
