It is quite common for Korean dramas to be adapted from or based on the storylines of J-Dramas or C-Dramas. These Korean remakes might offer different scenes and atmospheres from their original version or even deviate from the original plot. On the other hand, Korean dramas have also been remade into other languages such as "Good Doctor" (2013) in English in the U.S., "Signal'" (2016) to Japanese, "Princess Hours" (2006) to Thai, and so on and so forth.
In recent years, more and more American and European dramas are being adapted into K-Dramas, generating interest in both the original and the remake.
