 It is interesting to note
that in recent years, production companies from many countries have adapted Lee
Joon Gi’s much-lauded iconic television series Lawless Lawyer and Flower
of Evil. it is an indication of the great performance of the original actors,
particularly Lee Joon Gi, the high qualty and popularity of the television
series, interesting stories, themes and values that serve as lessons to the
viewers. Lee Joon Gi always sets the television screen on fire. His
performances are nothing short of spectacular or amazing. Fans have every
reason to be proud of him. He delivers what he sets out to do – to entrance us
with his magical performances.
The adaptations take
inspiration fom the original but probably, a slightly fresh spin is put on them.
People have fond memories of the dramas. Lee’s televisions series are unique
Korean classics or will become classics. They are legacies that many directors
would try to surpass.
The Phillippines and India
have adapted the massive hit Flower of Evil. China is the latest to join them.
The Thais have adapted Lawless Lawyer. 
                      Other than these television series, the Japanese have also adapted one of Lee Joon Gi’s television series, Two Weeks.   The Japanese Two Weeks, directed by Keita Motohashi and Kento Kuichi, starred Haruma Miura as the leading actor. It was broadcast on Fuji TV and KTV.
 Thai television company GMMTV
revealed plans to produce Scarlet Heart Thailand on 23 April 2024 and that
Kaniiha Kwanyu will direct the series, and Tontawan Tantivejakul as well as
Metawin Opas-iamkajorn will lead the star-studded Scarlet Heart Thailand cast.
They are set to start production by the end of 2024.
Like the South Koreans, the
Thais are adapting the novel, Bu Bu Jing Xing by Tong Hua. This
is the third drama adaptation of the Chinese novel, Bu Bu Jing Xin. (Bu Bu Jing
Xin, the Chinese television series; Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, and Scarlet
Heart Thailand). But, it is likely that the Thai version would be more like the
Korean drama than the Chinese drama. Scarlet Heart Thailand will
be released by the GMM25 network.     The Chinese describe Bu Bu Jing Xin as a Romance-Historical Fiction-Chuanyue (Time Travel) television series. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo is a also Historical Fiction-Time Travel-Romance television series. They are not Fantasy shows.
                                     It was never proven that Man To Man beat that record because after that, THAAD became a serious issue and the Chinese government disallowed the import of Korean dramas.                                     Any mention of Lee Joon Gi’s Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo will make fans, who are neck deep in nostalgia, sentimental. It will pull them back a moment in time to the past when they were completely under Lee Joon Gi’s spell. Is a sequel in the pipeline? The fans have been waiting for a long time.
Perhaps, they have to petition for that second season.
 Lee Joon Gi’s amazing television
series will always be an inspiration to global viewers.
