Philippine Remakes of Korean Dramas – Good Or Bad?


Have you ever ever discovered your self watching a random tv sequence on a Philippine channel? And because the story continues to unfold on this episode, do you start to marvel why the storyline appears so acquainted? After which the present stops to offer technique to a industrial break and you’re greeted by the title of one in all your favourite Korean dramas.

Philippine tv stations are very keen on displaying authentic variations of dramas from Korea. A few of them flop, however most of them turn out to be actually well-known amongst Filipinos. Then after these tv stations reap the rewards of displaying the suitable tv present, they determine to squeeze every thing they will out of the drama by making a localized remake of it.

Purists will argue that these remakes are not more than poor imitations or bastardized variations of the unique Korean drama. Nonetheless, those that are extra open minded argue that each one these concerned within the manufacturing and filming of those dramas are in a position to infuse the native Philippine tradition and traditions into the storyline of those dramas.

I’m personally on the fence in relation to this subject. Whereas I’ve set to see a Filipino model of a Korean present that’s at par or higher than the unique, I imagine that the tv stations are slowly getting there. I imply if Japan and Korea have been in a position to make glorious remakes of Taiwan’s Meteor Backyard then the Philippines absolutely has the potential to take action as properly.

Proper now the highest two tv stations within the Philippines are displaying remakes of two of the higher Korean dramas in recent times. GMA channel 7 is displaying its rendition of Stairway to Heaven, whereas ABS-CBN channel 2 is displaying its rendition of Lovers in Paris. I’m significantly extra keen on the latter as a result of I believe they’ve a greater crop of actors.

Nonetheless, I’ve but to see Philippine remakes of Korean drama series  which can be nearly as good as the unique.
