Faithfully Follows Original
It's too early for me to render any final judgments given this is a remake. My biggest issue is the one per week episode slows making any comparison down.
Perhaps that won't matter and so far this follows the plot and character development of the Korean version closely. The remakers are making adjustments to abbreviate details but so far it hasn't marred the story telling. However, this version has only 10 episodes vs the original's 16 so they will have to make choices somewhere and cut several episodes and maybe subplots out.
The more important choice to be revealed is whether they will stick to replicating situations from the Korean original or might choose to create an episode or more that's original, something perhaps unique to the Japanese context.
This shouldn't affect the core conflict between the two women who own the rival firms that drives the main story largely behind the up front scenes with Woo/Minami and her colleagues.
