Waiting and waiting for Winter Sonata 2
by tineybeanie
Perhaps when Pan Entertainment said “one month later,” they really meant “one year later”? Last year, Pan Entertainment announced that they would be remaking Winter Sonata, and that a synopsis would follow their announcement shortly. Well folks, a year later and there’s still no synopsis, but a strong-ish affirmation by the creative team that they are in the middle of writing the script.
The Winter Sonata phenomena already inspired an anime adaptation as well as a stage musical version. Now, we have a full drama remake in progress, and it practically ensures that 2017 will be the Year of the Remakes. With the Joseon adaptation of My Sassy Girl having secured its two mains leads, the remake of 1% of Anything underway, and Winter Sonata 2 starting to set its gears into motion, it seems that we’ll be inundated with recycled material in the new year. After the painful fashion catastrophe of a drama that was Full House Take 2, I’m not quite sure my poor heart can handle any more abuse of my favorite classics. So, I’m expecting the worst, but secretly hoping for the best.
In 2002, KBS aired the original Winter Sonata to astounding success. This drama almost single-handedly launched Hallyu and made Bae Yong-joon and Choi Ji-woo the most recognized faces in Asia. Even today, their popularity lives on: Despite the drama having been broadcast fourteen years ago, just last July Bae Yong-joon had a throng Japanese auntie fans fly to Seoul and wait in front of his hotel for a chance to glimpse him before his nuptials. If that’s not dedication, I don’t know what is.
And there was a reason for that dedication; Winter Sonata wasn’t just a touching romance story about star-crossed first loves, it was an emotional seduction that pulled at the heartstrings of people across cultures. It was gut-wrenching at times (say, when an illegitimate son hides to watch his biological father with his real family), balanced by poignant moments (such as when a boy sets out on a cold day to bring a coat to the girl he likes). Altogether, it made for a drama that resonated with viewers and allowed them to hope against all hope for the return of quiet, simple expressions of love between the two lovers.
According to the latest reports, Winter Sonata 2 is planning to broadcast in the earlier half of next year.

I'm not sure if it's wishful thinking or not, but I know some people said Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo are in consideration for Winter Sonata 2.
Thoughts anyone?

that would be a rumor someone would start to get buzz going for the upcoming drama. with both of the stars' soaring popularity (esp. SJK's) it would be near impossible to get them together again, since both are now doing CFs left and right and being way more expensive than before.

NO.
"Winter Sonata" is not "Winter Sonata" without Bae Yong Jun and Choi Ji Woo.... And I'm sure these two are not going to sign on to do the remake because Bae Yong Jun will be busy with baby duties in 2017 and Choi Ji Woo will be busy with other things... As will Park Sol Mi....
And "Winter Sonata" certainly cannot make due without Park Yong Ha (R.I.P. T.T)
"Winter Sonata" was never broken, so why try to remake/fix/tweak it?

I totally agree with this statement where without the late Park Yong Ha, there is no Winter Sonata.
How much I miss his boyish Sang Hyuk image during those days...
The original casts are always the best. Whenever they do a 2nd part or continuation to it, it tends to be a failure.

Rather than do remake for the classic Winter Sonata, they better do their own melodrama.
But honestly, I doubt the picky Won Bin will want to do romance drama. He has been in hiatus for years despite of plenty offers.

number of reasons:
1. Winter Sonata was a legendary drama, but making a remake seems cheap. (Think Sassy Girl 2 movie)
2. Won Bin is known to be EXTREMELY selective when it comes to choosing projects. the last time he was in a movie was around 6/7 years ago.
3. to have both stars in the same drama would cost a fortune. Typically top stars like Won Bin stick to movies.

since we're talking about WS remake, so why don't reunite them in Autumn in my Heart sequels?
say, WB character (forget his name) meet new girl who look alike with SHK character (played by SHK) after visiting her grave. so the story will revolve about whether he really love her as she is or because she resemblance his crush, hence the angst begin

The classic leads are older now but they are hardly old.
The classic leads owned their roles in WS and no one could ever match up and do the roles justice. I don't care how much you like them or how talented some young actors are, when it has already been done to perfection, leave it alone.

I'm scratching my head and wondering why anyone would think it's a good idea to remake early hallyu dramas. Producers need to realize there's a time and place for certain things; just because a show was wildly popular in its time, doesn't mean it'll adapt well to changed mores. I mean like The Sheik was a runaway romantic best seller in 1919 and spawned a box-office hit movie in 1920 staring Rudolf Valentino. But who'd be interested in a remake today?
I'm sure when Winter Sonata aired, the whole makjang package of Separated First Loves, Tragic Car Accident, Amnesia, and Daddy Issues/Birth Secret was titillating and sorta fresh (at least to the rest of Asia). But today? Wouldn't it seem excessive, cliche, and ridiculous?
Let the 'classics' rest in peace. Resurrection would only bring stinking zombies.

lol @ your list. Talk about permutations and combinations!
If I were a drama writer and needed to churn out scripts fast, I'd write different tropes on cards, mix them in a hat, and randomly pull out stuff.
For example- the teen heroine is sent to the countryside to live with relatives after her parents die in a tragic car accident, where she meets the son of the Korean president. He'd been sent to a small town under a false identity so he can attend school in privacy, under the protective cloak of anonymity. They fall in love. But hero's president father is assasinated! Oh no! OTP is separated when hero is sent to America to live with his uncle. 10 years later, heroine meets hero again when she's hired as a speech-writer for the president, and he's hired as an intelligence specialist. Also, the hero turns out to be a math geniuuussss with a fields medal and degrees from Princeton and MIT. They uncover a conspiracy that led to the assassination of hero's father. A huge chaebol corporation that helped to put the hero's father to power had owned factories that polluted a small fishing village with cadmium. Villagers who lived in the area developed itai-itai disease with soft bones and kidney failure. Chaebol corporation wanted president to coverup the scandal; he resisted and was assasinated. OTP discovers secret and are targeted by the chaebol corporation. They overcome the dangers, take down evil corporation, fall in love, and live happily ever after. THE END.

srsly, everyone should play the Write an Early Hallyu Drama game.
drama fans should make an "Apples to Apples" type card game, except with kdrama tropes. Each player will be given a set number of random tropes and 20 minutes to connect the tropes into a plot. the most entertaining plot wins the game. also: best played while drunk.

You just said what's in my mind! I also get WS feels in UF drama, and to add your trope list it's also set in winter.
It's confirmed now, not only they run out ideas but now they choose the easy road: ride the original's popularity to reduce promotion work. So even if in end up as a bad remake/adaptation/whatever they call it, they manage to attract viewer's attention (at least in the first few eps).

I dunno, I think in the right hands even The Sheik could be adapted for modern audiences. (Although I wouldn't dare try without a Valentino lookalike. Dat smile! Dose eyebrows! *swoon*)
The real problem comes when money-hungry studios try to create SEQUELS decades later without taking into account that the original is now wildly outdated and needs an update.
Although as you noted in your post below, Kdramas are still essentially the same beast that they were in the days of the original Winter Sonata, albeit slightly more polished and with prettier cameras.

OMG you're totally right. Twilight is kind of The Sheik recycled. Instead of 'strange, exotic oriental hero' you have 'strange, exotic vampire'. Instead of 'heroine falls in love with her rapist' you get 'heroine falls in love with a controlling old man who could potential kill her'. Dang, romance novels ... :'( And here I thought society was too progressive for ca. 1920s romantic tropes.

I would never have thought to make that comparison, but you are so right. But alas, RPatts does not have even half of Rudy's charm, which is probably why I couldn't get more than a few minutes into that movie. (The Sheik and its sequel Son of the Sheik will remain my guilty pleasures until the end of time, however.)
I don't think society will ever be too progressive for 1920s romantic tropes. Remember how wildly popular 50 Shades was when it came out?

July 14, 2016 at 8:40 PM
Really?! I assumed you had, since you brought it up haha. I downloaded it once on a whim and instantly fell in love with Valentino while simultaneously finding the entire story problematic. His charm is endless. (His film The Eagle showcases his charm adorably, if you've never seen it before. It's like a lighthearded Russian Zorro. One of my favorites.) His death really was such a tragedy; I can easily understand why the world went crazy when he died.
I would totally be down for a wine and silent movie night! That's what I did last New Year's Eve anyway haha.

Umm I don't know if you noticed or not, but everything you mentioned IS in today's dramas. Nothing has changed. It would not be a kdrama if someone didn't pass out from the common cold, or get hit by a car or be in a car accident, lose their memory, male lead's mothers trying to ruin their sons relationships. Love triangles out the yinyang. It all happens over and over again, I guess you really don't have a point now do you.
I do not want it remade because it is perfect as it was and no remake will do it justice.

They should have Winter Sonata Middle Age edition. Both BYJ and CJW have been married for twenty years, and she is tired of looking after him (did he go blind in the last part?) and her children who are brats. Her children are high schoolers who are busy studying and she feels lost and empty. She spends her days watching dramas and thinking about her romance with BYJ before they were married.
(cue to Twenty Again)
She decides to revamp herself and then starts work at the same ski resort which needs revamp as well after 2 decades.

I've not seen any of these originals so for me all these will be like a new show.
The only Endless love seasonal drama I saw was Summer Scent and sadly I only made it about half through. Maybe I should pick it back up and finish watching it.

If it won't be Choi Ji-woo and Bae Young-joon, then it should not be done. Also, Park Young-ha is gone. Winter Sonata was a beautiful love story, and they should just let it be.

you forgot Fated to love you on the recent amnesia plot. But I liked how they used it.
I think we still have those elements of those melo dramas in recent stories. Separated lovers, amnesia, cancer (Uncontrollably Fond seems to be heading that way), cars of doom, "sibblings" sort of incest (to me Autumm in my heart borders on that, Their story never got to me), lead actors crying rivers, cinderella complex.
I think kdramas haven't explored the world of romeo & juliet plots... We have a lot of that in latin shows, is so boring. But haven't seen it in Kdramas.
