Although the original SB story would be TOO CONTROVERSIAL in this period, the remake can work if they change/remove those problematic parts and cast the right actors for the roles. The major reason why SB worked for me despite the problematic tropes was Ken and Anne's acting prowess and chemistry - they ignited onscreen, both individually and as a couple! Ken especially did a brilliant job portraying the tortured, toxic and complex traits of his character. The characters eventually falling for each other was believable because of the actors - they totally made you understand and root for them. There are very few actors that I think can pull off what Ken and Anne did in this series. Tor and Mark are the only ones I can imagine doing justice to Ken's part in the remake and Yaya would be perfect for Anne's role. If done right, the SB remake can be a brilliant project for MY to reunite!
