So this is one of my all time fave medical/forensic/procedural J-doramas and to see it getting a K-drama remake elicits conflicting feelings. On one hand more people will get to know this fantastic story but on the other hand nearly all K-drama remakes of J-doramas fail miserably. Unnatural looked like a run-of-the-mill procedural but really shone as special with the cast chemistry and very interesting episodic stories. It’s like CSI Japan but done in a fresh way. It helped that Ishihara Satomi is such a winning female lead and got a well-crafted character, and both male leads had chemistry with her with their differing styles. Keeping my optimism up for this one and if it doesn’t work I’ll always have the original.
So this is totally not the fault of the actors but on the writer and…

Hi peeps!
Sorry, my new Firewall to block spam was set to mega high hence it was blocking EVERY SINGLE COMMENT. Haha, sorry and it's been fixed now. Feel free to comment and play again at the Playground. :-)
I feel like Kdrama doesn't work well when they adapted jdrama in terms of capturing the essence. I was watching today's webtoon and strangely felt like it doesn't have the charm and then I rewatch jhuhan shuttai and I get why.
JS show the profession a lot, what they do, how they do it and it's a wholesome work drama but TW feels like a romance drama in webtoon workplace.
Kdrama don't really do work related drama where the profession is the main things and what makes we like the character is because they good at their job.
Thank you ! Jdramas know how to make the craft/the art shine. What you said you can feel it as well with a drama like "Bokura Wa Kiseki De Dekite" that is centered around an autistic character or the 2010 drama "himitsu No Hanazono".
Nooooooo.. This is my favourite one!! It made me cry so bad on certain episodes like the factory worket motorcycle accident or student's bullying and suicide 😭😭😭. I don't think Kdrama can do it the Japanese way for mystery crime drama, it's heartwarming and moves heart. Kdrama is gritty and thrilling, the same way Jdramas can't do Korean crime drama adaptation (it's boring really). I lowkey ship Satomi-san with the brooding and tortured forensic doctor at that time hahahaha.
Jdramas can be thrilling as well ! Have you watched "Heaven and Hell : Souls exchange" with Hayase Haruka and Takahashi Issei ?

Unnatural was very well done with the storyline between the forensic doctor and his death wife as well the second male lead' s relationship with his father which was also very touching. Cannot imagine who will play the female lead as Satomi Ishihara exudes a very unique charm to the role
Also, having a great song like 'Lemon' as the theme song made the Japanese original much more memorable. The K version should use it too.
