October Brings a New Batch of Chinese Remakes of Japanese, Thai and Korean Classics

pretty proofreader chinese remake
Good dramas are like rare gems, quite difficult to find so it’s not a surprise that when a drama of that kind comes along, it typically gets a second life and more. After all, if we’re all for finding new ways to enjoy the good old classics then what better way than to see new stars giving it a different twist, right? 
 
Both airing last month, Ten Years Late is yet another drama remake based on the popular manga Asunaro Hakusho by Fumi Saimon while Project S: The Series is a remake of a Thai drama of the same name. It seems that there’s even more in store for October. Without further ado, I present you the list of Chinese drama remakes for this month:

A Little Thing Called First Love (Oct 23 Hunan TV, Mango TV) 
Based on the Thai movie First Love, I have high hopes for this campus drama starring Lai Kuanlin and Zhao Jinmai since the movie really left a mark on me. It’ll take you back to the memory of your first love, first heartbreak, and first time moving on.
