  The dynamic between siblings Patch and Ploy offers a unique emotional depth compared to other character interactions. Additionally, Jane's portrayal exudes a delicate strength and grace, effectively guiding the series through its tumultuous emotional arcs.

Ultimately, while this remake falls slightly short of expectations, it still offers a compelling viewing experience for fans of the original or newcomers alike. Expect a narrative that treads familiar ground, yet with a few surprises along the way, making it worth a watch for those seeking a blend of familiarity and novelty.
