It is a story set in the shared universe of Parasyte. It is not exactly a retelling or adaptation. You can call it a spin-off if you like. The series actually hinted that right from E01.
Think of it this way, the Parasyte universe clearly explained that the parasytes landed in various locations around the world. This story, set in Korea, is simply one of those locations. For the first time, we are seeing the situation in Korea not told before.
That's what a shared universe is. So it isn't proper to compare it to the story set in Japan because that is just another story in the shared universe of Parasyte.
Have you ever wondered what it was like in the other locations where the Parasytes landed? They can make a spin-off for those locations.

I can't wait for this. I want to see this Western adaptation of the novel and compare it with the 2023 adaptation made by Tencent (China).

@c8d6e665-1c43-473f-bb8c-c1b1d548b3d9 Same! My hopes started to go down after they revealed there will be 8 episodes only! It is not easy to pack a novel in an 8-episode series. There are very few who tried that and succeeded.

@prankish Hahahha. True that. They more likely won't do it justice.
Everything was great for the 15 episodes~
but that last episode was bad..
They tarnished what the title of the drama indicated, the main character by going back to his poor body went against what the title of the drama was indicating, "Reborn rich", everything he did and experienced on the journey to the end became meaningless..loading replies
@kokosay I think it was fitting. You have to look at it from a different perspective. See my comment here on this traktTV page. ^_^

I hope Season 4 is not the last. Them guesting the characters from the prequels smell like this is a farewell to the franchise.

@youronlyone Well … now confirmed this is the series finale.
