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.

Korean drama If In Love, Like Them, starring Lee Hyori, Lee Dong-gun and Jung Joon-ho, is suspended indefinitely by Korea’s Broadcasting Committee for violation of broadcasting guidelines.
The drama and producers are penalised for inappropriate frequency of product placement and overused of Hyori’s songs as soundtrack.
The drama will not be allowed to rebroadcast in Korea, and the show (producers) are required to make a public apology.
The drama, also titled Perhaps Love, is about two cancer patients who met each other in hospital and developed a relationship.
Despite the ban in its homeland, the drama is expected to recoup some of its investments with the strong marketability of the main cast in foreign countries.
