Animation of 'Winter Sonata' to be aired in Japan in October
Two Japanese broadcasters plan to air an animated version of the popular South Korean TV drama "Winter Sonata" in the country, the companies said, according to Yonhap News.
Entertainment channel DATV and SKY Perfect TV, Japan's largest satellite television provider, said broadcasts of the animation, based on the South Korean soap opera that gained global popularity, will begin Oct. 17.
The animated series consists of 26 episodes with a running time of 30 minutes each, according to the broadcasters.
The production drew keen interest from Japanese fans in May last year when the stars of the original series met for the first time since its production in 2002 to do voice recordings for the animation.
South Korean actor Bae Yong-joon, who played the lead male role, and actress Choi Ji-woo, who played the heroine, have gained unprecedented popularity in the region.
