Whats your opinion about Drama remakes?

Hey! :) Im wondering if Im the only one, who doesnt really like remakes of dramas. I mean look at Youre Beautiful, Hana Kimi, Boys Before Flowers/Hana Yori Dango/Meteor Garden or Zettai Kareshi/Absolut Boyfriend. There is always that Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese version. But somehow I think its senseless. I mean once you watched that drama, you know what is going to go on and there is no suprising-effects anymore. So it is just me who thinks that way, or how do you guys think about it? Im curiouse to know. :)

Remakes are a dangerous ground for drama industrie because most of the audience would be expecting something: If it was too similar then it lacks originality but if it was too diferent then it wasn't faithful and if it lacks some elements then it's pointless. I do rather that they make other dramas instead of remakes. However, incarnations aren't bad because they show the three countries point of view about the same storyline. Now that I think about it, I think that we have a similar thread to this one which talks about incarantions but I can't remember where is it.
