Lately I noticed Korean drama
creators tend to take some familiar titles and themes for their drama and story themes to
Hollywood movies.
It started from Descendants of the sun (DOTS) was
somehow similar to Bruce Willis's Tears of the sun movie with Monica
Bellucci. Bruce willis played as a senior and skillful army chief member
who was ordered to save Monica Bellucci, a pretty doctor who caught up
in the middle of African country's conflict. I don't think I should
explain about Song joong ki and Song hye kyo's roles in their drama
because it was pretty much the same with slightly different story.
As for 'While you were sleeping' (WYWS) was the 2second Kdrama with similar (read: same title) as Sandra Bullock's movie back then. Perhaps the spelling in Korean language might have totally different translation in English, however, their official English title was this. The story in both were totally different though. You can check out in any movie website for it.
The third one is 'Children of a lesser God'. The movie was good and the actress got herself awarded as the youngest ever actress with Oscar trophy. The story yet again is different as for one was about a woman with disability and her rocky relationship with her teacher while the Kdrama version was about a detective story which I don't bother watching for now.
As an additional info, I currently watch this Kdrama 'Devilish Joy' on web. The story is about a doctor with Cinderella syndrome illness due to his past accident which allowed him to remember everything within a day only and forget it the next day and fall in love to a woman who used to be a famous actress. It reminded me of Drew Barrymore's '50first dates' movie with the same topic of illness. The rest is different though.
Maybe all are just merely coincidence or inspired by the previous movies.
I drew the pic in speedpaint process randomly yesterday.
