For old people? lol I don't really know anyone my age that likes dramas, I know some of my mom's friends do.
And for some reason the Winter Sonata anime isn't mentioned at all on Wiki?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_Sonata
^ Oh well Wikipedia's not accurate all the time anyways, and I've searched for some anime and visual novels and they're not always in Wikipedia.
Oh then I want to add some more to the list:
-- Hana Yori Dango (a remake, I know there's already an anime adaptation, but I don't really like the animation and it's >50 episodes), I love the TWdrama (Meteor Garden) and Hana Yori Dango (Jdrama, can't wait for the movie to be subbed), HYD and MG are my favorite dramas. [I'm a Lei/Rui fan (can't decide who's better than the other), Makino > Shan Cai and Domyouji > Dao Ming Si, I don't really care about the other characters].
-- Romantic Princess
The drama was okay, story was averageish, but I'd still watch it.

And watching Itazura na Kiss (It Started With A Kiss [TWdrama] and Jdrama of the same name) now, I'm excited to see how it'll end (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-06-12/itazura-na-kiss-anime-to-show-creator-planned-ending ), a male tsundere seems to be hard to find.
I prefer rom com dramas over more serious dramas, I don't mind some drama as long as it's not too over the top (like Lavender, at times it felt stupid and I kind of wanted to yell at the characters).
-----------------------------
xD I've known this for a while (since I saw this http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-12-12/animation-planned-for-hit-korean-drama-winter-sonata I seem to have the need to check ANN every couple of hours, and also Moon Phase, Random Curiosity, moetron, http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/recently-added.php & http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?s=315757eba53f5caf63dc49d367ebadb6&t=26406 cause if some of my favorite anime like ef gets another season I want to know about it) and watched the trailer, I'm still deciding whether to watch the drama or not.
It's something I'd like to see, I think it'll be interesting. I haven't seen the drama, but it does seem like a nice break to watch some anime based on a drama since there seems to be some ecchi anime every season, something based on an eroge game (Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka does look interesting though, and the VAs look good [Hirano Aya and Rie Kugimiya http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10095] plus TNK is doing the animation, and I didn't exactly love School Days, but AFAIK the game doesn't have bad endings?
Isn't Mars (TWdrama) based on the manga though (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/index.php?title=Mars#Trivia )? Also I've been meaning to watch that (Lei fan) is it any good? I've read the summary on DramaWiki but it sounds so serious?
I can't really think of any dramas I'd like to see animated other than Nobuta wo Produce (based on a novel) and Last Friends (both Jdramas).
You don't use AniDB?
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=5855
^ Good site, not just info about the anime but also fansub groups, details about fansub groups' releases, info about specials, reviews, scores, stuff like that. And relations is pretty helpful too, especially for certain series (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=rel&aid=715 ).
And of course the official site:
http://anime-wintersonata.com/
^ You might want to use a translator or something though. I can only read like 25% of it at most. I'm guessing there isn't that much more info out than what's already on ANN, MAL, and AniDB though. I'm guessing it'll start winter 08/09 or spring 09 at the latest?
