I honestly did not plan to post two articles on Yoona back-to-back, but the drama gods work in mysterious ways. I’ve been hoping that Han Hyo Joo would, despite all the rumors and signs pointing the other way, accept the leading role in Love Rain (formerly called Love Rides the Rain) with Jang Geun Seok, because the alternative was that an actress from SM was short-listed for the role. Looks like the casting is going the direction away from my interest level in this drama. New reports have started leaking that Yoona is confirmed as the lead actress, leaving only the contract details waiting to be finalized. The drama is scheduled to start filming on September 24th.
I confess to not understanding the Yoona appeal. Acting wise she’s a big thumbs down from me, though I couldn’t last more than a few episodes of You Are My Destiny and Cinderella Man was just a mess of a script and cast overall she’s the least of that dramas problems. I just find her presence very placid. Sigh, I’m afraid if she is cast, my interest in this drama might drop down to next to zero. Which might not be a bad thing – with no expectations, perhaps Yoona will wow me with her acting and end up having great chemistry with Geun Seok. Here’s to hoping.

ermmmm..JGS' acting is eons above this girl (she's pretty, that's all). i was hoping for someone who could hold it up against JGS in this department...booooooo
It has been confirmed
Yoona said, “It’s an honor and like a dream come true to be able to work with Yoon Seokho PD, as I remember his dramas ‘Autumn Tale’ and ‘Winter Sonata’ as ones that touched my heart. It’ll be my first drama in a while, so I will do my best to meet the expectations everyone has.”
hmmmp. I just hope she can do it well. Saw her drama before im not impressed. Unlike

agree mam....hope for the best!!!
Personal Opinion.. I see a failure for this drama already.. At least dun think it will be a hit in Korea.. Maybe will do well in Japan
Love jang geun suk and love pd suk ho, but yoona's casting pretty much guarantees me dropping this drama. I liked her in 9 ends 2 outs but she was down right dreadful in you are my destiny and cinderella's man.
i watch that drama [2 outs in the 9th inning], but i don't remember her, haha.
She played the young writer that had a crush on the baseball player that su ae's character was dating.
thanks for the reminding what role she played, could not figure out who she was in that show
me too...was she there? 9ends 2 outs is one of my fave dramas of all time... yoona is really forgettable to me it seems...tsk tsk tsk am kinda worried about this drama...ohhhh i do hope am wrong....
is she in that drama?? i don't thinks so...as I remember she only in You're my destiny n Cinderella man...
I echo you. Dont like her previous work however it is funny and the drama people of LR see it differently and accordingly
"Another staff member said, “It took a long time to find the right actress in their early twenties with a pure image” and “Yoona proved her acting skills in her dramas ‘You are My Destiny’ and ‘Cinderella Man’ and the production crew have high hopes.”
I was expecting a very good actress. So Yoona is the PD's choice. "PD Yoon wants someone with a great acting skills"
I think it is more of a business move.. #justmyopinion.
Im losing my interest in the drama... hmmp i dont know we'll see
It's a business move, I suffered through YAMD but finished it and couldn't finish cinderellas man and in both she was awkward and stiff and had zero chemistry with the male leads. I like yoona but she really needs to focus on acting and not be an idol if she wants to improve because she declines in performance with every role she takes.
LOL, "great acting skills", eh??? Umm, yeah, it would have to be a business/ratings move. Big sigh. Korean audiences might receive the drama well, while we international viewers don't really matter much as far as ratings go. But really ... disappointing.
If they wanted someone with good acting abilities, someone young and fresh like Jung So Min would have been a better choice. I don't get you PD, but now I'm glad she wasn't casted in this. I lost interest once Han Hyo Joo said no.
Yoona is pretty and all, but her acting makes me cringe. SM got a hand on this, they need to stay away from the drama world, it's getting really annoying. Siwon can hold his own, but the 'actresses' of the company have no substance. They should just stick to music, unfortunately.
I agree with Luna's comment. If this drama femal lead choosing for actiong ability should choose Jung So Min. She is naturally good with acting. I really want to see JGS and JSM act drama together.
i was really hoping for han hyo joo, but oh well.
The more important question is Will the reel romance develope into A real Romance after the filming ?
it's JKS so everything possible...hehehe
Good Comment.. With JKS everything is possible !!! Another scandal on thwe way..
ahhhh i hope not...i still lke him to be with MGY or PSH....hehehe
I hope not.
hmmm... i hope JGS can pull her and bring the best of her acting skills. she's not really that good in acting. i'm not thrilled it's her. sorry to the fans.
oh dear i don't like her too... her acting in cinderella man and you are my destiny are both fogettable... :(
hmmmm...just hoping for the best, i saw this girl in cinderella man..but her acting abilities is not well good maybe..need more enhancement, but i think jks can pull her...let see how it goes..( i thought its HAN HYO JOO) whewww..maybe its not time yet.
