Now I am feeling so thwarted and depressed

Someone posted on joonni.com the trailer for the 2009 version of Faith, the one with a somewhat different plot that was going to be with Kang Ji Hwan until the fact that was embroiled in a legal dispute with his management scuppered the project.

Oh, wow. That looks amazing. I faintly recall seeing promo pictures for the drama. It makes me wonder just how much was actually filmed before they had to stop. This drama version of the story does look much more grim and fantasy orientated than what we have now. Was the writer/story changed much?

I believe the writer is different (Song Jina only came on board recently) and the story was going to be quite different - as you can tell from the trailer, for example Kim Hee Sun was going to be a 14th century woman with music powers (a la flute guy in this version). The two shots in the trailer for new Faith (Lee Philip healing with needles and KHS playing) are from this old one.

I am seriously, severely upset. I think I might even take a mini break from this version so I won't be comparing them in my mind. Because grim and Kang Ji Hwan? Cannot be beat, sorry.

ah, I see. I think you are right about the story line that could have been. It looks good, and it is such a shame that they couldn't go forward with it. I almost wish someone could make this drama in the future. I'll even take a film version of it!

Kang Ji Hwan looks incredible in this promo. He needs to do another drama soon. (And something like this. Not something that the disaster that was Lie to Me)

lol! I just came to read this now and I see that you did not take a mini break from this Faith but on the contrary went totally crazy and obsess about it. :-P
well, me is super happy with Faith 2012.
