Winter Sonata Anime's Ending Scene to Be Live-Action .
2010-01-29
The Nikkan Sports newspaper is reporting on Saturday that the ending scene for the ongoing Winter Sonata anime television series will be filmed in live-action. Yong Joon Bae and Ji Woo Choi, the stars of the 2002 live-action Korean television drama that inspired the anime, will appear
in the new live-action footage when it runs on April 24. The new ending
in the 26th episode will cover a part of the story that was not in
original Korean drama.
Both the original drama and the 26-episode anime follow a girl named Yu Jin Jung (Choi) and her male classmate
Joon Sang Kang (Bae) as tragedy and angst befalls them and those around
them in the years between high school and young adulthood. The 2004
Japanese broadcast of the drama triggered the ongoing "Korean wave" of
pop culture in Japan and turned Bae into a superstar among Japanese
female viewers. The Japanese publisher Ohzora Publishing Co. eventually imported and translated the drama's manhwa adaptation under the title Winter Love Song.
Bae had already agreed to reprise his role for the anime's voice cast, as part of the 2007-2008 deal that gave his Key East company production credit for the anime. Choi agreed to join the voice cast shortly thereafter.
