This may be the first time I've ever liked a remake better than the original... I'm guessing the writer had some ideas on how to improve the story for The Handmaiden and threw those into that script. I do love The Fingersmith story, and this miniseries was good, but I'm glad I saw The Handmaiden first because that's the better of the two screen adaptations imo, and this way it wasn't spoiled for me.
