In a surprising turn of events, as I was wondering about the net and just watching all sorts of videos of old, I came across something kind of new. Well it is something new based off of something that's not so new. Does that make sense?
Anyway... I remember watching this Korean drama called Winter Sonata a few years back and being hooked to it (don't ask) and my girlfriend and I caught every episode we could. Sort of a twisted tale and some parts made me wonder what the hell the writers of the show were thinking. But overall, I thought it had a decent story and characters you could generally believe and get behind.
To my surprise (and I think my girlfriend mentioned this to me sometime ago too), they've taken the drama and have turned it into a Anime series. What makes this interesting is that they've gotten quite a few of the original cast (from the drama itself) and they have lent their voices to their old characters.
While I've only found trailers for this on YouTube (so far), I am on a quest to find the episode for this. I know someone, somewhere, has these uploaded for the world to see. And if possible, maybe I'll even try and link them here too.
Side note: On a sad note: The actor (Park Yong-Ha) that played the character Kim Sang-Hyuk, was found dead recently in Korea, apparently due to suicide. I won't get into the whole situation here and I can't say for certain if he is portraying his character in this Anime, but that isn't the issue here. It is just sad to see news of people (he was only 32 years old) taking their own lives this way.
