This is the rehash of the English version. Same plot but more human emotion is involved. They have the same fears we have when dealing with our dark side: acceptance, betrayal, not so sincere friends, leaving loved ones behind. Actors/actresses do a very nice job. I do miss the quirky English humor, though. I remember in the original show the girlfriend of the werewolf finally talked him into investigating the cure for his problem. They argue hotly for a few moments before he finally caved and said he would talk to this person with the cure. Her response: Not dressed like that you're not!
