I don't know if it's just a clip of episode 0 or it's the actual episode. The beginning seemed more like a trailer than an OP theme, and it's just in 3 minutes.I thank Hobby Chaos for uploading the ripped video at YouTube. I tried to watch it from the official site but my internet was being so . . .so . . . SLOW!Now that I've seen it . . . I find it strange that the actual Koren actors were assigned to voice the characters they had played (I mean, anime is Japanese . . . and they're Korean . . . didn't make sense to me . . . unless they know Japanese . . . all of them? That's too unlikely) . . . but it turned out that the dialogues are actually in Korean and there are Japanese subtitles included in the animation. I saw a video on how the dubbing went, and the voice actors are really from the drama~ I don't know if they have voice acting experience (tv acting is different from voice acting, even if they're both acting), and they seem to be doing well~Anyway, the episode had amazed and creeped me out at the same time. Amazed because the characters in the animation look extremely alike their real life counterparts . . . it's like the real people had become cartoons! How talented artists are . . . it makes me think that some anime character could actually look like real people . . . considering that their eyes weren't the gigantic types. That amazing thing kinda scares me though because the anime felt so real . . . like they're no different from the live-action drama. I can't explain what made it spooky to me . . . or maybe it's just hell more amazing than what I've imagined it to be. I find it amazing in the sense on how similar the animation looks to the actual people. But as for the other things . . .I didn't follow or marathon the Korean drama . . . my parents and younger brother did though . . . but I had seen a few episode and clips . . . and I've seen the ending. Hehe. I don't remember why I didn't bother to watch it. I didn't dislike it actually. Or maybe it was just because my attention was in another Korean drama instead of that very popular one. . . . or perhaps it's because I hear the drama's theme everywhere that I got so sick of the song and wanted to plug my ears . . .Anyway, I think I would be following this anime if only there wasn't a Korean drama version of it in the past. I like sad and good love stories. But since it did. . . and I already have an idea on how the story will go, maybe I'll go marathon the drama first . . . before I'll bother to marathon the anime version. Or maybe I won't bother at all if I didn't get hooked to the Korean drama . . . But hhhmmm . . . seeing that this has an anime adaptation makes me curious if the anime would be 100% loyal to the live-action drama or will be making some changes. Maybe I'll rely on what other bloggers think about the changes . . .So that's my initial thoughts on this upcoming anime . . . as for the other anime this coming season . . . we're working on that. My initial impressions on this series would be the same as what I've already typed here of course.
