So amazing. I watched it when it first aired and really dug it, but watching it again in preparation for A2A, I was totally blown away.
As for the U.S. remake...I am VERY wary. I really doubt that they will do it well. I think the best we can hope for is a remake that ends up being a totally different animal, kind of like the U.S. version of The Office. It's a pity that this isn't looking too good, because I think it IS an idea that could be adapted to a different setting and adapted well, since the city where the story's set is an important character in its own right. I'd love to see a Los Angeles version done well—especially as I am a native Angeleno—but yeah. Not holding my breath.
