Korean Romantic Remake Is 28 Years Better Late Than Never
Leading Korean star Jung Woo-sung (“A Moment to Remember”) will star opposite Shin Hyun-been (“Hospital Playlist”) in “Tell Me That You Love Me,” an original series for Genie TV. The show is a remake of the hit Japanese series of the same name that first aired at Tokyo Broadcasting Systems linear channel in Japan some 28 years ago in 1995.
The new show will upload to Genie’s own streaming service on Nov. 27 and the same day in Japan on Disney+. It will also play on Korean cable channel Ena.
The original series featuring Etsushi Toyokawa and Takako Tokiwa, was written by Kitagawa Eriko and told a slow-burning tale of romance developing between an aspiring young actress and an up-and-coming painter who lost his sense of hearing. Each episode topped the ratings of the previous one, making the show a smash it and a (pre-social media) social phenomenon.

Premiering at the 47th Seoul Independent Film Festival as its opening film, “Sprinter” is a pleasant watch that falls short in its predictability and lack of multidimensional characters. Written and directed by Choi Seung-yeon, the film shines best through its cinematography and music, never once overstaying its 86-minute runtime. Graded in a slightly muted color palette, the work's three interwoven stories never really catch fire, instead staying quiet and uninvolved emotionally, which may leave viewers unsatisfied by the end.
