All those dramas from the writer are just so so angsty T_T

JGS looks like Yoona's unni. Omg.

This drama looks like a disaster in the making.

I'll give this drama a chance. I want to judge Yoona's acting based on her actual performance. Plus, I think some people judge her more harshly than other newbie actors. I hope she does well just to prove people wrong if for no other reason.

I think JGS is a good actor, but haven't had any good roles lately so looking forward to something with more depth from him.

Poor Yoona tbh I can't believe she has to kiss that face.

But they look like twins! Look at the photos!

suddenly, there is a scene pupped up into my brain from " You are so Beautiful", JGS was chased by pigs when he was in the beautiful countryside, I couldn't stop laughing, this how I feel about how awkward if JGS in this drama.

Yoonah? Dual role? I was wondering how she'll handle "a" role and now there's two! This is really a disaster...

I hope after a while Yoona will be too busy to continue filming this so they can change her out of this drama.

Actually if this becomes Hallyu Drama redux then I'm definitely watching...it'll give me a lot to snark and laugh about...and with the acting with all these green/Newbies could be laughably bad('course I'm not saying it definitely will, there's always a possibilty that I'd get a surprise)

sigh...JGS, what are you doing with your career??? You are so damn talented that I dont even care abt your ego but it's pretty clear with all your latest projects that ur aiming for the popularity factor here....I really wish you'd try to challenge your self instead

I hope JGS get rid of that hat, lol.

Serious comment: I am feeling flat about this drama. Not sure I am going to watch it. Maybe I will watch to see if YoonA proved me wrong about her acting ability.

I don't understand. "There were a lot of one-sided loves in the ’70"??? I don't think there are less now? Ok maybe it's just me, but I don't think this phrase makes sense. Not in my brain at least XD

Oh dear, what is with JKS's noona madhatter look?

Haha.. All the active discussions we have here seem more engaging than the drama itself. While i adore JGS, I am not tempted to watch this. But I will stay tune to reviews here instead... This would be more interesting and entertaining.

Geez, give the girl a chance, they haven't even started filming yet, and yet there're so many "this is going to be bad for sure"s already.

Thank god JGS had a haircut, or this is going to be soooooo weird... "Where's the male lead???" xD

I hope there won't be any cancer, it'll not only kill the character but the whole drama as well... =/

Do you think this is a trap for JGS in Love Rain? He was the first to be offered and accepted without knowing who are the other actors. Pity him if this drama does not do well because he was expecting highly rated drama after MMM. This is the problem when PD do not name and confirm the actors simultaneously. Sort of a trap for him here to work with mediocre actors to sell the drama to international market, because JGS is famous outside Korea. He will surely feel frustrated if other actors cannot perform at par with him. Just my opinion.

Maybe there is some seasonal shots and that's why they are filming so soon?

I'm very excited about this drama and very happy for JGS to being chosen for lead role by Yoon Suk Ho himself.His dramas and their stars were pioneers of Hallyu.My k-drama addiction started with Autumn tale.He knows how to find beautiful and perspective actors such as Song Seung Hun,Won Bin,Song Hye Kyo,Bae Young Joon,Choi Ji Woo,Son Ye Jin,Han Hyo Joo. He helped their stardom.I hope that this new drama will help to rise JGS's already big stardom to the very top. I wasn't dissapointed by any of his dramas,so I deeply believe "Love Rain" will take it's place in hearts of millions people all over the world.And I totally agree with your last sentence,javabeans!

Why must it be Yoona ! I like her as a singer but not as actress. Poor JGS . Sigh ...

lol what is with all these poor Jang Geun Suk comments?
he chose to be in this production
there's nothing to feel sorry for
if the drama fails, no one is gonna be blaming the writers or directors anyways. all of that will fall on the lead actress' plate

It sounds exactly like the movie 'The Classic'. Not hating on Yoona but she's too GG for me. I don't think I can thing of her as another character. It's just like seeing KHJ doing acting. I can't take him seriously because I always picture him dancing and doing variety.

Why I feel the unfairness parading in front of my face, casting someone who fails to convince me with her acting skills and is assigned to act in TWO roles at different time line ? Are there no more capable young actresses around ?

im not sure about the whole 70's thing if it were like ancestors it would be more interesting

I think Kim min seo would be perfect for this role,plus it would give her the chance to act as a main female lead.

Ugh I was going to watch this but after yoona got casted I don't want to watch. It's a shame bec I really liked this producer's works. I can't believe Han hyo Joo got pushed over by yoona.

I am a big fan of YAB and JGS, so I'd thought I'd give this drama a chance. Recent happenings has put me in a dilemma.. Still, I would give it a try on one condition: he cuts his hair SHORT.
I mean, why hasn't he done that already?

seriously, i hate jgs looks since mary stayed out all night.. i began to think he's comfartable with looking like an ahjumma.. and i agree with some of u, he's actually not that great actor... now added yoona... what a terrible pairing....
-i wonder what hes gonna look like when he's in 30s...

has anyone seen "Unstoppable Marriage" (the sitcom)? Yoona was pretty decent there.

In my opinion, she acts better as the mean girl rather than the fragile damsel-in-distress.

Here's a part of me hoping that the 'daughter' she's going to portray is a rebellious teen-girl.

i am really hoping to watch JGS new drama that's why im going to watch it.

Wow.
I'm only watching this for Yoona lol. Not really a big fan of JGS, he needs to chop off his hair and go back to a buzz cut.

This drama is going to be a overrated I bet. First of all,Jang geun seuk who has lots of fans in both korea and japan. Yoon-Ah (Need I say more about SNSD's Japan concert?) plus this is a melodrama by Winter Sonata's PD which ahjummas would be so happy to watch. Sigh~

oh lordy! will that mean that we'll have all three:
1. brother-sister-not really sibling love-triangle angst
2. cancer/leukemia
3. memory lost

that was the reason why i recoiled from early korean dramas and only started watching k-drama from 'goong' onward.. >_<

Yoona looks adorable in these pictures. Honestly my expectations aren't that high (because of the PD + Writer combo) but... I hope that the drama surpasses expectations. I'll check it out, if only to see how Yoona and JGS interact on screen.

i can't bring myself to watch this
yoona acting in cm is so bad i almost puke
she should realize that her talent is not in acting or at least try to start from smaller role
jgs, too bad u have another strike of flop drama

trying to understand why everyone is so negative, but then i guess it's all based on personal preference. I honestly believe that JGS and Yoona are going to be great for each other. i only believe so because i think they will make up for each others shortcomings. looking at pictures of them both together, i feel that they can really pull off being a real couple (which Yoona has had trouble with doing in the past). i'm a hopeless romantic, so i believe i'm gonna love this drama. but its whatever. everyone has their own opinion.

I'm currently at Epi 15 and think that this couple is just amazing together! In terms of plot and storyline though, Rooftop Prince is more interesting (Can't help the comparison as I'm watching these 2 dramas together).

But i must say this pairing blows my mind!!!
