Oh hell no!

Urgh! One of the most overrated dramas ever gets remade! I'm not happy!

"Full House 2" was such a flop. I wanted to erase it from my memory.

Why can't they just focus on making manga adaptations?

I'm still waiting for Kdrama versions of "MARS", "Lovely Complex" and so many others!

Hollywood is like that too. Lots of "sequels".

I honestly didn't really like WS the first time around. I can't imagine liking it the second time around.

Ha ha ha ha, nothing like opening dramabeans at random and coming across a crazy story to laugh my ass off! :D

I couldn't cross 4 episodes of that drama, I snoozed a lot in between too ! :P
All the bes KBS !

well the next big theme will be reincarnation / 2soulsin1 / body possession, so...they are possessed with the reincarnation of a memory

GF and JB...no, no, and NO! *gasp*

How do we fund you to send you to SK and tell the powers that be that this is a horrific idea. Not even cameos can possibly save this potential train wreck.

My God, it has been 13 years already @@
Where did the time go??? I was in high school when I watched this, and yes, all those cliches worked for a teenager girl before. But now, maybe I will watch it if they have such beautiful scenery and OST.

They really did run out of ideas lol.

Maybe it'll be a completely different story and they just attached the sequel part to get attention?? Or maybe it'll be the story of their kid hah.

hahahaaaaa

Alert the scarf manufacturers!

Hey, what if this is actually a continuation of the original, just 13 years later when the characters will be middle-age or later?

The production could be targeting the geriatric age group. They'll just cast all the senior participants from Grandpas Over Flowers and Grandmas Over Flowers. And, of course, there is Lee Duk Hwa, who seems to be in every single drama, regardless of bit part or a lead. (I'm getting confused as to whether he is the good guy or the bad in each drama.)

I may be too pessimistic, but sequels do not work out well. Mainly, because the original story has been completely told, finished, done. It's over! LOL

The writing team is honestly a good one, even judging from their newer dramas.

... But seriously, a Winter Sonata remake? Is there any way this will work? >___< I mean, I'm naturally skeptical about sequel/remakes, but with this drama in particular, the plot and like you said, all the cliches, dates it so thoroughly back to 13 years ago.

In place of ruining the classics or other shows with their sequels they should consider to make more contests for talented writers and give chances to fresh blood with good scripts,i for one i'm glad MBC took a step into it and gave a chance to new writers(i hope they are) with Angry Mom...i'm sure they are many talented young artists out there than can bring good scripts and bring a somewhat fresh into dramaland...in place of that the can't let go of their sequel obsession thinking a crappy new script can enjoy the same glory as the classic while ruining as well,also not thinking the context in what that drama that was famous was released...(how many of the glorious one would now bring big digits?) ,a classic is that for a reason and should be left untouched

WS was a hit, yes, but for the life of me, I couldn't understand WHY. I thought it was the least stomach-able of the season dramas, and SOOO impossibly slow. Someone just kill this project now, please?? The leads were the only saving aspects to the show, but no amount of Choi Ji Woo's mop-the-floor sobbing could've made the script any better.

LOL is the only thing I can say right now LOOOL....

I'm not even thinking about other things like cast & crew or writers right now... the thing I'm thinking about is whether this remake will even stick >.< Unlike the "Dae Jang Geum" sequel, which gets announced, gave out two to 3 statements on it's development plans, then fizzles out...

Loling at some of comment here XD

Despite of the slow and dull storyline, still appreciate WS because this one of drama bring me to k-world. Those time story like this make people go crazy and crying like idiots lol ( along with Endless Love, Stairway to Heaven). The thing I like the most of drama is the beautiful scenery and OST.
But like GF said just leave it alone. Its a BIG NO for sequel.

I'm calling it, They're going to cast Jang Geun Suk and someone really anal as the leads and the show is going to be a flop (because been there done that) but will be exported and perhaps do decently oversease

This will be the mother of all sequels. There is no way they can top Winter Sonata. That drama is practically a national treasure regardless whether you think the drama was good or bad. I have always considered Winter Sonata as the drama that officially kicked off the Hallyu Wave.

My only comment: PLEASE D O N ' T

I enjoyed Winter Sonata when I watched it 5 years ago when I first got introduced to kdramas. I was curious and had to watch it since it was a classic and helped launched the Hallyu phenomenon. Having said that, I am not exactly itching for a sequel. Most sequels never live up to its predecessor. Jury's out on this one for me. We shall see!

This drama was PAIN. I dedicated hours to it just to get dumbfounded in the end, when the incest was suggested I literally closed the window and never thought about finishing it EVER!
The only good thing about Winter Sonata were its two main leads. Can't they reunite BYJ and CJW instead?

one of the wonderful things about winter sonata was the OSTs. so whatever they wanna do with this sequel, i hope the OST will be wonderful.

I want them to cast Yunho, Suzy, Changmin and Hyeri! With Seo Lee-sook or Lee Hyo-choon as the mother from hell! If they're going for absurd, they should do it all the way.
