Samsung Wind Chimes In A Bakery Finale Screening GSC Pavilion

For the past couple of weeks, I've been kind of hooked to this web series "Wind Chimes in a Bakery" and have been sharing the episodes on my Facebook. An emotionally-moving web series, it is a local love story inspired by Korean drama storytelling. Launched and presented by Samsung early last month, the web series has amassed more than 3.5 million views on its YouTube channel.

Earlier today, I had the opportunity to catch the final episode at GSC Pavilion, ahead of it's scheduled airing on Friday 30th August 2013. It was a rather nice reception, complete with makeshift bakery that looks almost the same as inside the web series. Now for a short introduction on the series itself.

Windchimes in a Bakery features Adam and Sue's love story - a boy with nothing but a dream and a girl with everything but love. Imbued with interesting twists, the story follows Adam's journey after a tragedy that took away the love of his life.

With Korean dramas gaining significant popularity in Malaysia, Samsung collaborated with Korean director, Jang Jae Hyeok, to better connect with Malaysians by giving this local production a unique Korean essense.
