Aside from the fashion eye-candy, another good thing came out of the drama awards show in SBS releasing the first teaser of its highly anticipated melodrama That Winter, The Wind Blows. Written by famed screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung and starring Jo In Sung in his return to television after 7 years and paired with Song Hye Kyo, this one has aiming for high brow splashed all over it. The first teaser definitely stirs my interests by how stylized and intense it looks, especially since the drama hasn’t released any stills yet so this teaser had a sucker punch effect. I also love both second leads Kim Bum and Jung Eun Ji, and if they get their own baby version love line I will be even happier. The teaser does confirm my hunch that TWTWB appears to be bringing along more of the same type of brooding tangled web angst that Nice Guy so engagingly delivered recently. It’s almost like Noh Hee Kyung trying to add her cerebral mix to the Lee Kyung Hee staple pulpy melodrama. The synopsis is something like Jo In Sung is an emo swindler who pretends to be blind heiress Song Hye Kyo’s long lost brother, but of course he’s not and even more certain is that they will fall in love and heal each other’s wounded psyches. If I sound sarcastic I don’t mean to be – I think convoluted melodramas can be entertaining and even thoughtful despite the avalanche of ridiculous plot coincidences. While I am a bit overdosed on melos recently, this one looks too good to pass up.

I feel like I've watched so many melodramas in the last couple of months with Nice Guy, May Queen, and I Miss You but I still can't wait to see this one.
Has there been a drama or movie that has done this storyline before? I feel like I've watched a movie (maybe a Japanese movie) that had the storyline about a con man finding a blind girl and pretending to be a long lost relative, he then eventually falls for her but ends up dying because of a debt or something.
I don't know about dying or something, but wasn't there a movie with Moon Geun Young called Love Me Not with the same storyline?
Yes, that's the movie. I remember watching it years ago and the plot of this drama sounded so familiar to it. Thanks for replying with the name of the movie. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what it was called and who was in it.
Yep! The Korean movie Love Me Not is based on the Japanese movie and so is this one. It's the same story line so I can already see people comparing Moon Geun Young with Song Hye Kyo...
This was originally a movie in both Japan and Korean. The Korean movie version stars Moon Geun Young as the heiress who loses her vision after the death of her family.
I think I've read somewhere that this will be adapted from the Japanese drama Ai nante iraneyo, natsu.
Forget Love (2002)
I hope either you or dramabean watches this one, so that I don't have to.
I had forgotten how beautiful she really is. Maybe only Kim Tae Hee can come near her in this regard. What a pity that Hyun Bin and Song Hye Gyu broke up. They made a perfect couple looks wise. I had no intention of watching this drama but now will just to see her. The trailer looked good too. When is it being released.? Maybe FBND will neutralize its tragic effect so I can watch it.....that is if they will be telecast at the same time. Never seen Jo In Sung before but he looks good with SHG.
According to Asianwiki, th premiere date is Feb 13.
Thanks! :)
CAN'T. HARDLY. WAIT.
Looks great - although I'm really not a fan of melodramas. However, there was just not enough of Kim Bum in the trailer. Someone needs to fix that. Stat.
Pass. I know I would not care about such characters....
Welcome 2013!
I'm rooting Kim Bum and Jung EunJi loveline to come true ^^
Whoa.
I am going to try really hard to take this seriously, because it seems that This That Blows is very serious.
The problem is we have heavy duty actors seemingly dropping in out of nowhere to star, and blindness and emo-ness and chaebols and faux-cest, really?
It is almost as if they are showing us a parody full of cameos.
On the very good side, we have Kim Bum looking su-weeter than ever. I think he has to have a baby love-line. It is part of his contract with all the women of the world.
It is pretty, but it looks more like an elaborate CF than artful storytelling. I hope I am proven wrong.
Happy New Year Mrs Koala & your family!
Thanks for sharing the teaser with us.
Ummm from the look of it...it might end the same way as the K-version of the movie. YIKES I don't want JIS to die!
Can't it be like the Japanese version? At least the guy won't need to die, and I think we get a good ending!
JIS look really good with his clean cut hairstyle! And of course SHK look gorgeous!
