Remakes I’ve skim-watched
I get curious about remakes but usually not enough to actually watch them. However I will often skim-watch to see how certain things were adapted. Obviously I will not give ratings to shows on this list so don’t take it too seriously

1. Law-less
Thai Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
This just felt odd. the Korean show was flawed but it had a charm that managed to shine through. This show does have a few decent ideas/divergences, but they feel overshadowed by the lower-quality production (the weirdly loud music and mostly unimpressive action) and really odd story choices (the corny attempts to make its versions of Ahn oh-ju and Cha moon-sook sympathetic, taking the “love rivalry” in the Korean show-- that was entirely played for comedy and had the 2 women involved in it quickly becoming friends--and trying to make it more serious in the most annoying way possible)

2. Put Your Head on My Shoulder
Thai Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
Honestly seems charming, there seems to be less of the constant possessive jealousy. But lol it really pulled out the “forgotten childhood friendship” trope
