Love Rain, literally
by javabeans
Looks like they’re taking the title literally for Love Rain, with series leads Jang Geun-seok and Yoon-ah meeting in the rain in the above still.
The multigenerational “premium melodrama” from melo king PD Yoon Seok-ho (he of the Season dramas) has already pre-sold to Japan, no doubt owing a lot of its hype to the two stars, both of whom have heightened profiles abroad as well as home. The drama has been filming since September, starting with the earlier 1970s period; it’ll then cover the following decades and resume with their children’s generation. The analog-versus-digital dichotomy is one of the main motifs, in addition to the youthful-love-and-angst melo plots we’ve come to expect from PD Yoon.
The drama is planning for an early 2012 broadcast, which means a good amount of it will be pre-shot. That’s probably for the better; it’s hard to maintain “premium” levels of quality when you’re mired deep in the live shoot.

I've got nothing against Yoona, but I really wish Han Hyo-joo had accepted the role instead. She would have been better suited to act against Jang Geun-seok. I know she's not the best actress around, but from what I have seen of her dramas, I think she could act better than Yoona. :(

Why do dramas have to be reserved for the best actors? there are other inexperienced actors who are perfectly capable of acting in dramas and there are a lot of singers who are really good at acting. Yoona isn't even a bad actor ... and against Jang Geun-Suk? .. hes not that good of an actor to be honest, You're making it sound like he's some world class actor. Hes pretty average.

XoXo I totally agree with you on both points Young actors need an opportunity to learn and grow, and Jang Geun-Suk is not yet a great actor (though I hope he will be someday).

While I do agree that dramas shouldn't just be reserved just for the best actors (I mean, even the best actors were inexperienced in the beginning, they had to gain experience in dramas), I disagree with you on Jang Geun Suk. I think he's a very good actor, this coming from a person that was put off by his looks when I first saw You're Beautiful that I almost didn't finish watching the first episode... but then he became the reason I stayed with the drama til the end (well, he and Jeremy!). And then after seeing Beethoven Virus, I knew it wasn't a fluke. I can't comment on Yoona's acting since I never seen it, but I think people should give at least the first episode a chance to see how she does...

Well they're not saying he's bad, but not the best. As for me, I think he's a good actor, not first class but seems to be getting there, but (hope not too mane ppl hate me for this) I really Don't like him as a Singer!! I don't like his singing voice At All!!

JGS Is actually pretty talented for a young guy. From most of the dramas I've seen with actors (young and old) He is one of the top...As for why dramas need to be reserved for the best actors....probably because people really enjoy watching pretty awesome actors act. Sure you can make a drama with mediocre actors or "singers/idols"...but the best dramas are usually the ones that have it all.. great story, great directing, great writing and most importantly awesome actors. They can turn the worst of the first 3 into something tolerable( I even got through half of Mary stayed out all night because the actors in the main love triangle were great even though the writing was terrible) Also average actors usually end up being forgettable in retrospect...this is not to be confused with character actors who do a great job at playing the same character in many dramas...(think Jennifer Aniston in most of her movies) sorry im an actor and had to put my 5 cents in.

Too true. Mostly she opens her eyes really wide and kind of simpers. I like her- esp. on the old Sunday show- she was funny- but her acting is not stellar. As for JGS, he looks almost MANLY in that rain soaked shot- then in the next one, cute but androgynous boy-toy. I'm sure i'll still watch it!

i'm okay with idols turning actors.
additionaly, i actually liked yoona in you're my destiny but i hated her in Cinderella man, one of the worst casting ever.
i wish they casted some unknown actress who would have carried melos better than yoona.
i feel like when they casted yoona and JGS they were thinking of their revenue in the japan market...
but hope yoona proves me wrong and that she might make this drama memorable in a good way...

I saw her on Cinderella Man and several episodes of You are My Destiny. I can see why many say that she can't act to save her life. I feel like she cringed on camera, or the camera cringed on her :P
On the other hand, many dislike Lee Ji Ah, but I think she's okay, I'm enjoying Me Too, Flower! so far.

I'm sorry but seeing Yoona really ruins this for me. She's not the WORST actress but I'd have much rather this role in a "premium" drama been given to someone who's not an idol. Especially next to Jang Geun-seok who I feel will really eclipse her.
But it looks pretty?

November 16, 2011 at 7:13 PM
I agree. JGS is an experienced actor and I think he is going to eat her alive with his acting skills. I could be wrong but most idols don't get acting jobs because they're good actors but because they're idols. Putting them next to seasoned actors can be disastrous and makes me cringe. I hope she proves me wrong though. (Notable exceptions of singers turning good actors are Choi Si Won who I think did well in Oh! My Lady and especially Han Groo who rocked in Girl K.)

Agreed! I am really enjoying her (Uee) in Ojakgyo Brothers- she's actually demonstrating a nice acting range of skills. I have a terrible problem, tho- keep staring at her right eye- I think the eye surgery she had made that one more than a tiny bit bigger than the other one. Gah. But then I become distracted by the new love of my ahjumma life, Joo Won. What a smile.....

Can't help but join the YA bash... and i think our concerns are not the fan girl talking, but quite justified. I could not stand her in CM, and well, YAMD was just boring. If they wanted a girl idol with a pretty face (and a good voice for the OST), couldn't they have cast someone like IU? She was super cute in dream high and even the acting wasn't bad, and she was a trooper for wearing the fat suit!
IMO, among idols, Jaejoong is turning out to be a pretty good actor and he's been building his skills up the right way by not taking the lead role right of the bat. He def didn't look bad next to Ji Sung who is a seasoned actor in Protect the boss.

I am citing them as examples of 1.) someone who is a very popular /good singer and not rubbish at acting 2) a really good actor. It's not really a comparison, they were in the same drama...and JJ didn't look inadequate.

I head there was some buzz with Jung So Min being linked to some drama, because she said she was preparing for one for some time and then the she put "coming soon" on Cyworld not long after Love Rain was announced to start filming soon. I wonder what all that was about. Maybe she backed out?

Love him...i still hate how they chose an idol to work with him...he's kind of type casted, in yab they did it (but at least they include Psh, a good actress) ...and now in this drama, his most serious one...aish i'm sad and disappointed...he looks so beautiful, though.
I now this is random, but can someone explain his problems with the media, his movie, and the antis? i know he's even going to close his twitter :(

I might be able to answer this. I tend to follow him a little too closely (Trapped and drowned in his pool of Eels as I am).
The twitter and media issue are the same pretty much. Everything he says on twitter been making media and taken out of context. Ironically media actually mentioned that he is angry because of media which kinda proved his point. Plus on twitter antis have been attacking his followers. On the plus side there since he's not using twitter anymore, except thru his agency, he has been posting more on his official APP.
Regarding the movie. Not just his current movie You're My Pet but Budapest Diaries as well... footage from the movies are leaking throughout the internet which is a copywrite infringement. He's especially upset about Budapest Diaries and his photobooks because they are his intellectual property

Love his hair wet.
Hate his hair dry.
Now that my totally shallow observation is done, I'm not going to judge this until I'm watching it. I'm going to think of it like a Jacqueline Susanne multigenerational potboiler and just hope that it's not a hot mess....

I can see why the writer wanted YoonA in the third picture. Otherwise, she doesn't exactly scream youthful, etc... They are definitely in it for the money, not that they shouldn't be. But I still wished that they had chosen a different actress. =(
I think I'm going to opt out of this one, unless I hear good things about it. I loved The Classic and would rather watch that again since it sounds like it's the same plot.

WHAT?! JANG GEUN SEUK IN NORM CLOTHES?
To be honest, I'm not sure about this drama. I have a hard time watching dramas that have "actols", or idol-actors.
I haven't seen any of Yoona's past acting works so I don't know what to expect out of her.
Just going to say this now, if I don't see any emotions from her...then I'mma rage. I'm going to wait for reviews before I waste my time.

I love JKS' first solo picture there! He looks manly (well compared to his normal look nowadays) and he seems to be really acting. I know JKS will do this one very well.
Yoona, actually fits the image of a 'pure and serene' heroine, but the actiing, I don't know. They look pretty on the picture, hopefully Love Rain will be good.
Yeah, would've been better if it was Jung So Min. Oh well.

Tiffany and jessica look much better than her and could probably act better if they were given the chance.

Yup agree....I watched few interviews and show and Yoona seem like a Goddess to many korean/Jap guys. Actually she is quite average.. Tiffany & Jessica definitely better than Yoona + they are friends of JGS.
As for JGS, what happened to his look??his weird style+bad guy role only make other actors(with wood facial expression) standout... if he can get a good action drama with a tough guy role will be better like "Iris" or "Man from Nowhere"... his resume need this kinda experience. Some variety shows try to invite him...maybe he can try to go.

Merci beaucoup. (Ahem. That much I remember from my high school French class...)
The 'lune'/'luna' is a net-nickname from long ago (although some friends call me that in real life too), but the longer version was me trying to come up with a similarly playful version based on 'Avalovara' (a novel by the Brazilian author Osman Lims --- title that I absolutely love).

Well Im not sure about her acting but tiffany would probably suit the role better in terms of appearance and she would look waay better with jang geun suk.idk about jessica though,I mean she is certainly better looking than yoona,actually I find her the prettiest in snsd,2nd is fanny and then yoona.But yeah I really don't see jessica playing the innocent and nice type role idk,she just seems like she would be a great bitchy character,must be the whole ice princess thing lol.But yeah
yoona might've gotten better so let's not judge before the drama is out :)

Both their hair are so brown. When did koreans start dying their hair? I always thought that hair dying for asians didn't really make a boom until the 90s.
