This is Nodame Cantabile, a Japanese comedy series that had two follow up movies.
South Korea have announced that they're going to do a remake of the series. They'll *#@$ this show up for sure, without a doubt.

It seems there countless remakes of movies (RoboCop, Planet of the Apes, Total Recall, etc.)
So is your favorite and most hated remakes of movies?
Funny - I just watched the original Cape Fear and thought it was terrible! Well, the end anyway. It’s been awhile since I saw the remake though.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer — Began March 10, 1997 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfl3WQPI9e8
I don’t suspect you watched the Blue Lagoon version made on Life Time, like most of their movies, it is comically bad.
That was one of Jack Nicolson’s first films.
I have two:
1. Great Gatsby- DeCaprio was all right but the script was total trash Too not to nitpick but Gatsby is set in the 1920s. So why is he driving a Deusinberg SN and Tom driving an Auburn Speedster two cars from the 1930s
2. Tinker Tailor - totally screwed up the story as to be almost unidentifiable
A waste of some very high powered acting talent
“They are remaking The Wild Bunch? Sacrilege!”
I agree completely. I’m a huge Peckinpah fan, and Wild Bunch is simply a masterpiece.
“Why would they even think of remaking Pellham 123?”
Well, I hate to speak ill of the dead, but the late Tony Scott wasn’t much for honoring the classics, or doing them justice. He started on a remake of The Warriors (moving the story to Los Angeles and using actual gangbangers as extras, good gravy!) and was picked to direct the forthcoming remake of The Wild Bunch before he committed suicide.
“Tora Tora Tora” was great. “Pearl Harbor” was a waste of time and money. Real airplanes doing real flying beats Star Wars computer animations every time.

I never saw "Pearl Harbor," but they did have real airplanes in that movie. The local (Nampa, ID) WWII museum rented theirs out to the filmmakers and used the proceeds to expand and improve the facility.
Best remake ever.
The remake of Stepford Wives was horrid.
I didn’t have to read any further than your post. I agree completely. The original Cape Fear not only had superior actors, but the implied violence is much more eerie than the overt gore shown in the remake.
If you have to do a remake. It means you have run out of original ideas.
Actually both BEN HUR films are good, the silent and Charlton Heston versions.
I didn’t include it because it sorta stretches the definition of “remake,” but The Sound of Music is based on a GERMAN movie. How’s that for wierd.
Ben Hur was a 1925 movie, based on an 1887 novel.
