'Friend': From silver screen to small screen

Details: Category: Diary

Kwak Kyung-taek's now classic 2001 film Friend has been adapted for the small screen (a metaphor, these days) as Chingu, Our Legend (친구, 우리들의 전설) and is currently aired in Korea. People in Pusan are probably happy and celebrating (as they usually are, it seems to me).
The story lends itself easily to this kind of serialization.I haven't had a chance to catch the saturi (Southern dialect)-saturated show yet, but I'm definitely very curious to see what they did with the original plot.
