"Love Rain" depicts a 1970's pure love and a love from the present day at the same time. It shows how the children of a previous ill-fated couple, who met in the 1970s, managed to meet and fall in love. Seo In Ha and Kim Yoon Hee, an art student and a shy beauty, met and fell in love with each other during college in the 1970s but unfortunately their love was fated to never be. Now in the present 21st century Korea, Seo In Ha's son, Seo Joon (a liberal photographer) meets and falls in with the daughter of Kim Yoon Hee, Jung Ha Na, a cheerful and energetic girl who's personality is different from her mother's. Will their love for each other keep them together or will they have to face the same fate as their parents?
A new show. It looks so promising at the start, with all the sad songs, rhythms, melodies. The occurence of rain every time the couple met is so teary and nostalgic. The scenery is romantic and cinematic. A refreshing plot of the old and new couples.
The drama reunites director Yoon Suk Ho and screenwriter Oh Soo Yun of "Autumn in My Heart" and "Winter Sonata" for the first time in 10 years. And I watched both shows, liking Winter Sonata much more than Autumn in My Heart.
I skipped the first few episodes of the 1970s pure love because I am more interested in the present day romance by Jang Geun Suk and Im Yoon Ah. I can't help liking Jang Geun Suk in his previous 2 dramas, namely "You're Beautiful" and "Mary Stayed Out All Night" and now in "Love Rain" He just has this rocker chic appeal. And he looks good in some of his dressing in this show.
I couldn't bring myself to watch it when its nearer the end of the drama, because its just so draggy and deadly boring. And besides, the ending plot is kind of predictable.
Yoon Ah, from Girl Generation is very sweet and pretty, when she let down her hair.
