Let’s just be honest here and accept that Love Rain with Jang Geun Seok and Yoona will be making buttaloadsa of moolah regardless of whether it turns out good or a teeming piece of crap. It has already been presold to tons of Asian countries, and the Japanese obasan audience is primed for a Yoon Seok Ho drama starring the hottest Korean export to Japan since Yonsama. I care whether LR is quality entertainment, but its moneymaking potential is not up for debate. I wish Seok would pick better projects rather than this and the abominable You’re My Pet movie (OMG, I cringed my way through it), but that just me wanting more for him in terms of challenging his acting chops. LR will be airing on KBS in the Spring of 2012, so a brief snippet was aired during the KBS Drama Awards today. It’s not a real teaser but does afford a first glimpse of the filming and the leads in action. Watch out, a Love Rain is coming your way soon!

I like the previous title, Love Rides the Rain, better as it sounds more poetic and I think it conveys the feel of the drama better.
Wow, Yoona looks so young, like a teenager! I liker her hair.I can never style my hair like that. My would always have a region of messiness when I cross sections of my hair.
I don't find Jang Geun Seok's hair attractive though. He always sport the worst hairs in my eyes.
I so totally agree with you about the title!! While the previous title sounded... I guess like you said Poetic, but also cool, I find the new title, though shorter, pretty lame, and has lost its essence... might me just me though, but titles could affect my decision of whether I would watch a show or not :P
I really like Love Rides the Rain too. It had such a poetic, melancholy feel to it, and was evocative of lush, green landscapes and gray, pensive cityscapes. It put me in mind of the rainy season in Hyderadad, actually: the sharp scent of ozone in the air, the clean, quiet breeze, and the ponderous quiet that descends on a city that is always so loud and alive and colorful. Love Rain, on the other hand, puts me in mind of "It's Raining Men".
Or Jin's "Love Juice". Really. Love Rain sounds like a cousin to Love Juice. Both equally unsanitary and shudder-inducing. I liked Love Rides the Rain much better, too. But with Yoona as the lead, the title doesn't matter much.
this drama looks rly pretty but i probably won't be watching even though i love jgs because i can't stand yoona's acting. idk y...
2nd to that!!! I could not stand her at all PERIOD..... I wish, it was a new comer or someone else... But its too late now to complain...
Me three.. I don't like her either and i don't want JGS to kiss her for real in this drama.lol...
Opps...Just admit that both of you three are jealous that Yoona is prettier than 3 of you...take a deep look at the mirror and ask why Korean recognize Yoona is one of the good actress!LOL!
I don't think they recognize her as a good actress. They just think she's pretty - the so call, ideal beauty. That's pretty much it. Don't insult people or accuse them of being jealous when they express their opinions. It's rather childish. Anyways, I didn't like YoonA in You're My Destiny, and don't think I ever will. She has a long way to go before she could be considered a good actress. I'm content with re-watching The Classic since it's pretty much the same plot.
I like Jang Geun Suk as an actor, and I'm willing to give YoonA a chance. But I just saw the teaser, and I literally cringed.
*Sigh*
Ms Koala I agree with EVERYTHING you said in this article. I also cringed through your my pet as I only or half way through and had to stop because I was getting bored. I was so disappointed seeing as I was so excited about it :(
I was excited for the drama initially when it was just JGS that was cast. Now, I don't really care to watch it. I really liked the idea of the plot, but at this point, I kind of just don't care. Maybe this is my drama fatigue kicking in... Hopefully the drama ends up being good (enough), so I can get out of this slump.
Can't believe how bad You're My Pet was. *sigh* WHY does JGS keep doing these horrible projects? I really had high hopes for this one and was excited to see his acting skills come back around. But alas, they cast Yoona. Which to me is the kiss of death for any project. And the preview proves to me that I'm right.
Ah well. I can hope that in 2012 JGS finally gets a project worthy of his acting. Along with a stellar actress to work with.
I watched You are my Pet unsub and I must say I was not impressed. The Japanese version totally rocked with Matsu Jun's awesome dancing unlike JGS who played a bit of the guitar and danced a little...
Such a huge disappointment ;(
Here's to hoping Love Rain will be more promising ...
I do hope that Love Rain turns out good. You are right, its profitability is out of the question because it has JKS and YSH in it. It will be a total money maker for sure! I am dearly hoping this drama brings out the best in JKS. He's a top notch actor and it's about time he get the right project to show off his acting skills.
i have nothing to say except
" Wtf are those SHoes on JGS?!! LOL !!
Ockoala is 'You are my Pet' that bad? I was planning to watch it, coz I love the manga as well as the Japanese version.
