I love watching movies, dramas and soaps. Be it filipino or american. Right now am much into other asian dramas like korean, japanese and taiwanese. There had been alot of great dramas made by them like My Lovely Sam Soon, Fullhouse & My Girl. Now the 2 major networks in the Philippines have decided to make remakes of there dramas. Because of this there had been several discussions whether or not there should be philippine versions of these dramas from forums of Asian Video streaming sites like AZNV.tv and Crunchyroll.com where I am both an active member. Why am I blogging about it? Well, I just got worked up with all the fussing of those people against these because personally i'm not against remakes.

Here is my say on the subject matter:
I agree that Filipinoes can make good qualiy shows/drama/movies...
but remake isn't a bad idea too... it just shows that filipinoes are good actors and actresses.
Why make a fuss about remakes?
Everyone does it like hanakimi both have japanese and taiwanese version
and now japan will also make a remake of the drama "the devil" which is originally a korean drama.
and there is Ugly Betty which is a remake of Betty La Fea.
do i have to mention some more remakes?
so why not filipinoes right????
Doing remakes does NOT make us filipinoes second best.
Whether you feel it made justice on the original one. well, that is their version! so don't expect the remake to go exactly as the first one.
If you want it exactly the same way as the original one then what's the use of a remake, right? makes sense?
and as for the cast. Not everyone will always be pleased, there would always be someone who would fuss.
For the show if you feel that its just a waste of time then don't watch it! noone is forcing you to!
Whether you like it or not. The drama will be aired even if you watch it or not!
Lastly....
If the original writers, producers and actors don't mind that their drama is being remaked then why would you??? From their point of view they believed that the philippine version will do justice to the original version or they wouldn't have agreed to give them rights for the remakes. Point taken???
So for those people who makes it a big deal for remakes? You better think twice, unless you can have a petition to stop the film industry in doing remakes then you can fuss all you like if not then stop complaining!!!
Am a filipino and I am proud of it!!!!”
