Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a remake of the 1995 drama 'Winter Sonata,' but significantly darker. The original film version 'Love Story' (1971) was Japanese.
Noh Hee-kyung specifically requested Zo In-sung gain weight for the role—his puffy, ruined gambler look was deliberate physical storytelling about emotional decay.
