I totally need to buy a lottery ticket or something, what with my penchant for correct predictions. A few weeks ago I posted a speculation of the young actresses who could be in contention for the highly coveted lead actress role in Seasons dramas PD Yoon Seok Ho‘s upcoming drama Love Rides the Rain, which had already cast Jang Geun Seok in the dual roles of father and son in a story spanning the two generations. The actress I thought had the highest probability to land the role, based on availability, age, A-list status, and previous experience with PD Yoon, was none other than Han Hyo Joo.
Word is starting to trickle out that she has in fact been cast, and was indeed PD Yoon’s first choice, as she was a complete unknown when PD Yoon picked her for his last drama Spring Waltz. This casting had not been officially confirmed, but the news media is starting to quote sources from the production company. My gut tells me this casting is pretty much final unless Han Hyo Joo backs out for whatever reason.
LRtR is scheduled to start filming in October, with a Spring 2012 broadcast date. The reason for the 6 month delay is not because this drama will be completely pre-produced, but because PD Yoon wants to set the two generation stories in two different settings – Autumn for the 1970s father story, and Spring for the 2010 son story. The idea is to contrast love in different eras and across generational gaps. So filming will be halt temporary after shooting during the Autumn, and will resume in Spring of 2012 in time for it’s broadcast date.
I personally find this a very interesting and ambitious project, and I’m looking forward to the same-age pairing of Jang Geun Seok with Han Hyo Joo. While Hyo Joo isn’t the most versatile of actresses, I think she’s pretty well-suited for PD Yoon’s penchant for moody pieces with lots of lingering stares. Oh, and don’t worry, Geun Seok has confirmed that he’s definitely cutting his hair for this drama.

this makes me so excited!!
and knowing that JGS will cut his hair makes me even so...
:))
JGS's blouse is more feminine than HanHyoo Joo's shirt. Hehe! I totally find the picture so weird.
I find the picture weird for another reason...what's over her knees? A jacket? Or are my eyes playing tricks...find it interesting that actresses wear skirts so short that they have to use a blanket over their legs when sitting down, especially on variety shows.
When I visited my relatives in Korea, they wanted me to either wear one of my aunt's full length dresses or drape a towel across my lap. Ridiculous.
but reading the basic plot of LRtR,I think it will be somehow similar to the movie The Classic..remember? love stories interconnected of two generations?
Yes, and they are using the same actors to do both generations too just like the classic.
my prediction was come true.. i predicted them 200% ..and then now they are!good luck
noooooooooooooooo i was totally for hoping for some other actress - no offence to her personally but i don't really dig her :( awwwh. but of course i'll still watch this for JGS
she's boring and likeable at the same time tbh
this might be out of topic... but while googling for korean dramas.. i came across a blog with the same name as yours.. minus the ( 's)
i like her but i wanted a newcomer. They have the same age but she looks older than him.
It's about time he cut his hair, haha. They look pretty good together imo.
Frankly, I do not like the pairing. Although they are the same age, she seems older in looks and size than him. Why can't it be Moon Geun Young?
Agree she seems older in looks too. She can play the 1970.. Too bad they need only one leading lady. Why cant it be Moon Geun Young. hehe. I know they just recently worked together but I was hoping it would be her. She also worked with PD Yoon as young Jenny. But its okay. I'll Watch it because of JGS. And isn't this gurl Moonie's Bff? There are hearsay before that she will play it but still i want moonie if not also rooting for Jung So-min. Well Good Luck JGS. Im already excited. I just hope it will be different from the movie classic. I have high expectations already. The pairing is fine. Wishin them all the best. Waiting for the confimation of this..
As for Moonie, I know she will have a drama/movie soon, report says that there is a possibilty she will have one even if she is studying.
That pairing has been done and it failed.........
I was expecting Jung So Min will be JGS's leading lady in this drama.
Wait and see.....
I also think of Jung So Min as another lead.
Just want to see her new drama.
