'Honey and Clover' to become a TV series in Taiwan

What do I know? Apparently, there is going to be a Taiwanese TV series adaptation of Honey and Clover. I am a fan of Honey and Clover, though I am no fan of T-drama (or live-action adaptation of anime/manga in general for that matter). I have not even seen the Japanese live-action movie of Honey and Clover and I do not plan to do so. Though it does make me wonder the same question I have asked some time ago: Why would fans want to experience / creators want to tell more or less the same story with more or less the same characters in different formats, be it manga, TVA, OVA, feature film, CD drama, novel, live action movie or live-action TV series?
