First trailer for anime version of “Winter Sonata”, based on the (same title) Korean drama which was a big hit across Asia a few years ago.
The animation project was revealed in 2007, but only started gaining some serious notice in March 2008 after the announcement that Korean star Bae Yong-joon is going to voice his own character from the original drama… he shares a few words at the end of the trailer.
Update May 29 – Choi Ji-woo has agreed to join the project.
it’s usually the other way around, anime first and then drama.
but this is cool.
the pictures are really nice, especially the snow scenes.
the anime looks exactly like bae yong-joon!
Ya, the character in the anime does look a lot like the original one.
I don’t think I will like this anime though… nothing wrong with it, just that I would normally prefer animes that are more fantasy-like and not something that are ‘real’.
I love this movie! I just don’t like how he goes blind at the end.
I anime looks so real.
the anime is in japanese or korean?

kyon… both? Not too sure, but I will be really surprise if they are not trying to have both languages for the anime. From the trailer it sounds like it’s primarily a Japanese anime though.
ok. can you read japanese or korean?
Can’t really read, but can understand a bit (very little bit) of Japanese conversation; not at all in Korean.
Japanese and Korean are two very different languages… so although I don’t really understand the meanings, I can differentiate them pretty well.
i think the trailer is in japanese.
but BYJ spoke in korean at the end.
so that means he needs to voice the anime in japanese i guess?
Should be. BYJ does speak some Japanese, so it wouldn’t be a big problem for him.
