Now that Love Rain has found it’s leading lady Yoona to join Jang Geun Seok in the cross-generational drama by Seasons drama PD Yoon Seuk Ho, the rest of the extended cast has been filled this week. Joining the cast will be Kim Si Hoo, Seo In Guk, Hwang Bora, and Son Eun Seo. Are all are you scratching your heads wondering who the heck some if not all of these folks are?
I actually knew who they were before hearing of their casting, but it’s not a stretch to say they are relative unknowns compared to the two leads. I vividly recall PD Yoon saying he wanted to find great actors for this drama. So far only his leading actor Jang Geun Seok fits the bill in that category. Perhaps PD Yoon mean to say “green” actors instead of “great” and misspoke. Otherwise the disconnect is so huge I feel like I’m staring at love raining into an abyss.
I first saw Kim Si Hoo when he was a teenager with a bit part in Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, and he appeared again on my radar in Powerful Opponents. He’s probably the most talented of this group of actors. He needs some solid second lead experience and I give him a huge chance of breaking out in the next few years. Hwang Bora has a pretty lively and long resume, but she’s typically playing cute characters as she did in My Girl and Love Marriage. She’s perfectly serviceable, albeit not terribly memorable.
Son Eun Seo had a bit part in Spy Myung Wol as a NIS agent that appeared and then never showed up again when that drama’s writing went to pot. The previous three are all actors, but it’s Seo In Guk that really has me scratching my head. He has never acted before, having entered the entertainment industry winning a singing competition and launching himself into an solo idol career. Well there you have it. Along with Jang Geun Seok and Yoona, here’s your cast of Love Rain, which starts filming at the end of the month.
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…

*Thud!* That's the sound of my expectations for this drama hitting rock bottom.
mine did not have any sound coz it went deep doooooown you can't hear it anymore. (
hahahaha XD
Same here.. it's a bottomless pitt of disappointment after disappointment! I wish JGS would drop out and pick another project. I really want to watch a decent drama from him again :(
I hope for some miracle that this one would not be a failure for JGS sake...
oh geez! what the heck? o_O
that being said, here's to hoping a miracle happens and the drama ends up being great... *crossing fingers, really, really REALLY hard*
JGS will eat these guys alive.
Lol Spock haircut.
Spock eyebrows too! ><
This guy is obviously what would happen if Sulu and Spock had a secret lovechild.
Some bizarre alien pulsating ball of light made them do it, of course.
@ Noozie Couldn't put it better myself. Good thing that look was only for that particular song, he looks much more normal nowadays.
LOL! I thought that might be Mr. Spocks grandson! :)
Spock and Sulu would be horrified you even associated this weird alien child to either of them. Plus their love is pure and cerebral. No love child could possibly spring forth from either of their loins.
Lol, Kirk would probably shoot me for even insinuating that Spock belonged to anyone other than him.
Cue McCoy. "She's dead, Jim."
Frustrating! Gunning for the ratings instead of the quality... This drama seems like the opposite of LTM wherein HwanHye were great and everything else is a mess... Waste of actors but still watched and enjoyed it...
So basically what was being touted as an amazing melodrama with strong acting is now essentially a youth drama with mediocre acting and here I thought my expectations couldn't get any lower.
I mean I know Jang Geun Suk is an amazing actor but how the heck are they expecting us to believe that this is some cross generation epic love story with this type of cast..
::sadness::
Is it too late for Jang Geun Suk to back-out?
My thoughts.He was so disappointed with himself with M3.How will he feel for this his next drama?Now...especially with the cast.Aigoo -(
Aiyoo who are those actors/actress?? I only know Jang Geun Suk.
Was really wondering what happened along the way... JGS is the only saving grace here, but even with him here, I don't think he will be able to pull off the show and this drama is even melo. :(
i think the producer wants to discover actors and make them into famous ones. didn't he make bae yong joon, song hye ko, won bin, seung s h, etc? looks like he's just using jks as a launching pad for new and yg actors.
but really, does he think he can launch yoona into the starry skies? :D
I disagree with you, before bae yong joon, song hye ko, won bin, song seung hun, wonbin entered his dramas, they were professional actors who had many dramas under their belts. They all promising and well known actors and actresses before they played in his dramas and became famous internationally after that.
Compared to this cast, I just see only JKS and Kim shi Hoo are prosmising actors, the rest of the cast are idols and no name actress.
I guess the PD and producers just aim at making more money nowadays
Maybe Korean dramas nowadays are getting more international fame, so fame get into PD and producer heads so strong, they just don't care about making good, quality dramas anymore.
So disappointed!
I dunno.. I actually like the guy from Powerful Opponents and the sidekick in My Girl.
If anything, they're probably better at acting than Yoona. :D Both of them had fun roles in past rom-coms so I want to give Love Rain a chance.
FYI The guy was memorable as the sort-of-useless dongseng to Chae Rim but adorable in that they attack Chae Rim's two-timing ex-bf with vegetables, then pretend that he tripped outside and spoiled the food instead of admitting to his sister that her bf is cheating.
Another time, when his sister comes home from work, they all pretend to be useless lumps sitting in front of the tv, not caring that their working noona is tired and needs food and rest. Then the camera changes view and we see that they're hiding their black eyes and beat-up faces because they don't want noona to know that they borrowed money from gangsters. :D
hehehe.. seems like I had good, fun memories from that kid. I'm confident he can act well in a rom-com.
