So How Badly Are They Going To Screw Up The “My Sassy Girl” Drama?

If you haven’t heard by now, “My Sassy Girl” is being made into a drama because the American movie didn’t fuck up my memories of it enough.

Drama production company Lemon Rain is collaborating with ShinCine Communications to turn the hit 2001 Korean movie ‘My Sassy’ Girl‘ into a drama series. The producers are holding a public contest, where writers are being encouraged to send in scripts that are close to the original storyline or even better. The contest will begin on February 1st and be held until March 30th.

The problem with trying to do these types of classic movies in different settings and with different characters is that you can never get away from the original.

Jeon Ji Hyun and Cha Tae Hyun will never be out of the minds of people like me whose interest in Korean entertainment was launched in part because of films like “My Sassy Girl”, and now they’re trying to reinvent the wheel here and it’s just an impossible standard to live up to.

Ugh.
