Love Rain with Jang Geun Seok and Yoona Premieres this Monday on KBS

When I saw the picture above, the first thing I yelped was “OMG, no way Lee Mi Sook plays the aged older version of Yoona‘s character from the 70s?!?” And then of course, a quick check confirms that, indeed, 70s version of Yoona’s character turns into Lee Mi Sook in 2012. I hope this is one of those casting specifically against the realm of possibility simply to make it funny. Because one is fire and brimstone and walking sex on legs and the other is……not. Despite being pre-sold to seemingly a bajillion countries, Love Rain with Jang Geun Seok and Yoona seems to be flying under the radar in terms of anticipation around the English drama blogs. You all know it’s premiering tomorrow on KBS, right? When I watched all the previews, I just realized that Yoon Seok Ho‘s brand of hyper-posed romanticism just comes across as anachronistic in this day and age. It’s been exactly ten years since Winter Sonata, so we’ll just have to see if the audiences are craving for more of Maestro Yoon’s brand of season-driven lovelorn angst. Read on for all the English-subbed trailers for Love Rain.

  • Wow. I really like the editing and the score. This just persuaded me to check the drama out tomorrow. Love Rain seems to be a very earnest drama.

      • Me too, the transition between the 70s and the modern time was shot & edited rather beautiful.

        I really cant wait for tomorrow.
        JGS looks more manly as well, Yoonas acting seems to be fine so far and they dont seem to be without any chemistry :)
        The only thing to worry about is the story itself. I'm ready for fluffy, romantic, heartchaing story but I'm not sure whether the plot has enough story for 20 episodes without getting boring. But maybe there are some suprises here. :) Hoping for the best ^-^

      • Me, too!
        Love him especially.
        Have to say, any other writer, and I would be interested in the older couple's story. But I just can't do the pain, especially needless pain that goes on and on. Too happy? Let's blind one of them! Cause that makes...no sense whatsoever!
        (Yes, I am bitter from WS, AimH, SumScent.) (I wised up before Spring Waltz could maim me.)

    • I rolled my eyes through this trailer...but yes its pretty

      However I did like that guy playing the second lead- he was in sunny right?....theres something about his eyes

  • pretty picture & scene but the story... i guess it'll go classic & maybe it could remind us why we're so in love with Korean drama, hehe

  • I agree...I can't in the least imagine Yoona as a younger Lee Mi Sook...there's just no fire or passion there....unless if Lee Mi Sook could be able to mellow down...i still dont know how i feel about watching this

  • “OMG, no way Lee Mi Sook plays the aged older version of Yoona‘s character from the 70s?!?”

    What?! That is insane, now I might have to watch it just to see how Lee Mi Sook portrays her character in 2012 because I can't imagine her not being loud and crazy like she usually is.

    Maybe expectations are low because it's a melo and melos aren't exactly gobbled up by international fans as of late. Add to the fact that it comes from the guy that gave us the season dramas so you know it might be a crazy weepfest.

  • I'm still on the fence about this. I'm not too much of a fan of Winter Sonata, et al (*ducks flying bicks*) and I'm lacking in opinion where Yoona is concerned, so I'm iffy. But I definitely will check out at least the first 2 episodes because I do like Jang Geun Seok. I might just be surprised. I'm open.

  • Well I'll wait and then decide whether this drama is good or not this Mon~Thu's episodes, since I'm not really anticipating this drama much, since the day Yoona was cast as leading "actriss", so I'll wait and tolerat Yoona just for PD-nim and Sukkie! ^^
