And there are a number out there since Jdoramas are mostly taken from mangas.

Hana Yori Dango, for example, has three live action drama versions, two live action movies, an animated feature movie and an anime series. That’s how popular it is.

Nodame Cantabile, another popular manga was also made into a live action drama, an anime and I’ve heard that they’re making a live action movie. More Chiaki-senpai goodness, yay!

While channel surfing, I also chanced upon the anime version of Honey and Clover on Animax, which was pretty cool. The characters look nothing like the actors in the drama though.

Meanwhile, for a Korean drama to have an anime treatment is something novel, which makes me anticipate the upcoming animated version of Winter Sonata.

Winter Sonata

Winter Sonata, which started the Hallyu craze across Asia and catapulted its stars Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo to superstardom, is making a come back but this time through animation. The coolest thing about it is that Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo themselves have dubbed the voices of their characters Kang Joon Sang and Jung Yu-jin.

The animated Winter Sonata will be shown in Japan and Korea sometime this fall. Meanwhile, here’s a sneak peek.

Abe Tsuyoshi who rose to fame as Akira in Hana Yori Dango tied the knot last Sunday with Chinese actress Shi Ke.

They first met in the set of the movie “Stand in Love” in 2006 where they both played key roles. Abe is 26 while Shi Ke is 29.

Because Shi Ke is based in Beijing while Abe is in Japan, the couple opted to having virtual dates instead through the internet.

Abe, who has a Chinese-Japanese heritage, is also known in China as Li Zhendong. His wife will take a break from her acting career to join him in Japan.

Congratulations to the couple!
