I was so moo-ry last night a bunch of friends texted me to make sure I wasn’t about to leap off the proverbial balcony. Moo-ry is a word used in the Koala household, it means to be mopey and crabby. What can I say, I like coining my own lingo. One friend said this “Now you know how I feel when Yoona was casted in Raining Shit” (said person shall remain nameless). She actually managed to make me crack a smile with that line, but yeah, that about sums it up. She’s pretending her BF Seok is off in the army during this potential drama debacle, so I’ve decided to likewise pretend ShiGe is off traveling in Egypt again with HongMi and the four of them are happy as baby clams.
Turns out our conversation was just serendipitous because this morning the official drama website for Love Rain launched in anticipation of the drama’s premiere on March 26th on KBS. It will be taking over the Mon-Tues time slot of Dream High 2. Starring Jang Geun Seok, Yoona, Kim Si Hoo, Son Eun Seo, Seo In Guk, and Hwang Bora, the drama is helmed by Seasons PD Yoon Seok Ho with a story spanning two generations where the parent generation fell in love but couldn’t be together, and their children meet in the modern times and have another go at it. Seok plays a painter in the 70s and the photographer son in 2012. I have zero expectations for this drama, but if the cinematography is pretty I would love to take some screencaps. Check out the first set of official stills showing all the characters, and of course the titular love rain. There is even an umbrella on the title logo. Heh.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…
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…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…

Wow- Don't know about the drama itself but I can tell there is going to be a lot of pretty. :)
Who is shige and hongmi?! But I know I'll be joining them cos Egypt is where I'm going on holiday this year...D
So yeah zero expectations for this drama, I really don't like it when they cast idols in main roles unless I'm sure they are REALLY good and I've never liked YoonA, I dunno she seems like a doll..plastic... (no offense) I really wanted Han hyo joo for this role she would have been perfect with seokie. Oh well nothing we can do except lament lost hopes..
Hi there, for your info, Yoona the doll plastic, has won few awards for her acting in You Are My Destiny and Cinderella Man! But anyway, with more people like you who always like to say negative comments on Yoona, instead of making her fall, actually will make her more popular with your bashings!!!
I'll just be fair to yoona here
She might have had a little jaw work done but she's like Park Shi Yeon
She was pretty before the surgery too and didnt really need it
So yoona is actually less plastic than most actresses in kdrama land who get the (Nose+eyes+jaw) done.

having said that i think yoona is pretty bad as an actor
and I'm not a fan of the teary autumn tale stuff so i'll pass.
is it just me who thinks that the storyline sounds like The Classic?
Bingo! It's The Classic revisited. I'm taking a rain-check on this version.
Yep the Classic turned into a drama hope they have a rockin OST.
This drama is reminiscent of The Classic, a film starring Song Ye Jin. I find his dramas cliche and dated but I am sure the cinematography will be very pretty. I actually enjoyed PD Yeon Seok Ho 's Autumn Tale( my first kdrama) and Winter Sonata when I first got into Kdramas years ago, but by the time Summer Scent and Spring Waltz came out, my cold jaded heart refused to be moved by them sappy story lines.
Of course, I will check it out, but I have no great expectations.
I know, these dramas are dated, korea and its hallyu following have moved on from this. That is the reason I was so happy Han Hyo Joo didn't pick this, even as her fan I wouldn't of been able to stomach watching this dreadful sounding plot line. But despite all this I know that I am speaking too soon, and they may pull this off in a unique way- maybe like they handled Will It Snow For Christmas. But then again that drama had pretty experienced actors so not really holding my breath for this one.
the teaser photo of the raining and umbrella scene remind me of autumn's concerto...but as i watched all of autumn's concerto NO RUNNING INTO AN UMBRELLA SCENE HAPPENED and i was quite disappointed.....hmmm i'll check this drama out not really on the top of my list though
I was thinking about the exact same scene as well. I was pissed that the scene never came out!!! Actually, I was thinking that may be I missed that scene and went back to watching key episodes to find it.
The atmosphere in the drama seems moody and very melo. And I'm not a fan of Yoona. Too bad Geun Seok picked this drama.. After YAB, I didn't like any of his other works even if I want to like them so much.
Hope you're feeling better!
snsd members should be barred from acting... I'm feeling mean tonight, I admit it. Especially since Jessica Jung hijacked Wild Romance from my wonderful Lee Si Young. I can't say I'm excited about this one. It's very pretty looking but seems kinda boring. I'm feeling too jaded for young love right now.
I agree. SNSD should stick to being famous for being ajusshi-bait. (Though I actually really like Seohyun from watching her with Jung Yong-hwa in We Got Married.) Failing that, idols should have to go through auditions like everyone else, and should NOT be put in starring roles opposite actual serious actors. JGS is going to eat her for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and not in a salacious-fun way, either.
Agree, I'm still bitter about Jessica's casting in WR. I can only imagine how much better it would have been with someone who could actually act like a human being. :(
haha!! I haven't even finished WR cuz of her. :/
Sounds so 'Easy Fortune Happy Life' to me.... no expectations for this at all.The same with Dream High (both) just watched a bit and was like meh... I'll just watch the cuts where they sing... The only recent musical/high school related drama I enjoyed was "What's up" even if there are a few points to be raised about it as well.
looking forward to rooftop prince so this one is going to be out of my zone too.. I love JGS.. but watching yoona is a total fail.. I glanced at Wild Romance too and to find that another SNSD girl is going into acting is just bleh.. they should just stick to looking pretty dance and sing. Enough said.
I guess you haven't seen Yoona in You are My Destiny, which is worth a look for unintentional laughs and a study in bad acting.
My expectation is not too high though I really like Jang Geun Suk. Just not a fan of Yoona.
