Saw a bit of the original live action and one thing I have to say, this is shit compared it.
Bad voice acting coupled with the bad animation completely ruins the emotions that the original was trying to convey.
Seriously drop this and just go watch the live action, I promise you it'll be 100% better.

(cough Korean here)

Honestly, winter sonata is the most successful K-drama of all the time, yet the most overrated. Being Korean myself, I don't like Korean drama in general. IMO, it's NOT the best k-drama, but it's getting too much hype ups in Japan... :/

Korean Dramas are all generally slow; there are some that finishes early and most of those are good. But overall, very slow paced and tons of episodes. And this anime... looks like it exactly copied that worst aspect of W.S. SLOW SLOW SLOW.

Story is quite irritating too. Herp Derp.

A language sounding different doesn't really mean much. I'm much more familiar with the sounds of the Korean language than I am Japanese (Korean friends), and a lot of the lines just don't match up to the energy on screen. That these are the original drama actors reprising their roles makes it that much worse. Choosing screen actors generally means having someone who can perform lines more understated and natural. It goes on a little bit in this show, but often it's too lethargic and monotone, which is all the more strange because I think of Korean as a very bright, energetic language.


;D Imo, Korean Language is not that bright or energetic. It sounds liked that since it has no pitch, which means it will only have one pitch sound from the start to the end. It can be sound monotone for foreigners.

Actually, Korean voice actors are as good as Japan, but this one, winter sonata... pretty bad imo...-_-...

I guess I'll go drop this anime... >_>;; Can't stand this slow slowness I had in its original...

God, if I'm just going to watch a sub-par version of the drama, then fuck this shit. I was very disappointed in this first episode and I had high expectations, really.

Dropped.

I can't believe what I just saw. This was so corny it hurt. Broke my patience meter.
I've seen worst anime before but god this is so full of shit.
And what's with the non-stop melo music? Can I have a second of peace? It's not even needed. The voices are shitty like hell too and the people all look like a bunch of phonies. It irritated the crap outta me.
And what is it with this really crappy animation with just the stupidest scenes? I mean, the lolletsthrowleavesonourselvesforhalfanhour that was just...

Whatever, screw this shit, I'm leavin'.

Very soft like feeling episode with melancholy and slow pacing. Eh..I can't say this is exactly the best way to start off a pilot episode for me but oh well, I'm used to this sort of series occasionally. Go figure.

The start was good, but the whole episode was slow and boring.
The VA's don't suit the characters, especially the heroine. She's really cute and i wished Kana Hanazawa voiced her. Haven't seen the k-drama of this but this gives me White Album vibes.

I can't get used to the Korean language, wish there was Japanese dubs.

Really interesting, although I'm not really sure what's going on. But that's the point :)

i'm used to my korean media being in kdrama form, quite a change to see it in animation. i'm giving this a shot though, i've heard about the drama for a while. it's probably a mistake to watch an animation before the drama first though, but im already on board to it.
