The ethereal beauty of Yoona of SNSD seems to be working.
In the 1st episode of KBS2’s Monday-Tuesday series Love Rain (Written by Oh Soo Yun and directed by Yoon Suk Ho), which aired on March 26, romantic first meeting of In Ha (Jang Keun Suk) and Yoon Hee (Yoona) is portrayed.
In Ha, an Art major recalls the first meeting: “I just fell in love at first sight.” She is just a passer-by, but In Ha can’t control tremors in his heart. He draws a picture of Yoon Hee reading a book peacefully on the campus.
Spotting a diary Yoon Hee misplaced, In Ha delivers a monologue: “It might sound funny, but seriously at that time, I thought I was born to love her with all my heart.” The diary plays the role of a medium that bridges In Ha and Yoon Hee. Thereby, In Ha grabs the chance to casually talk to Yoon Hee.
The news of In Ha’s falling in romance surprises all of In Ha’s friends because he has never been interested in girls. Hye Jung (Son Eun Seo) and Jang Mo (Seo In Guk) refuse to accept the rumor, saying “He is the last man who falls in love.”
In the middle part of the episode, Dong Wook (Kim Si Hoo) is also portrayed having a crush on Yoon Hee at first sight, which bodes for a sad love triangle.

As he plays two different roles, he’s planning to attract the viewers’ attention with two different charms of his.
In the middle of the campus festival, In Ha is trying to shoot a target with a bamboo bow. He seems like the marksman William Tell, who has just come out of the fairy tale, and captivates the female viewers. In addition to this, In Ha enjoying the festival with his friends will make the viewers feel nostalgia for the good old days as the strong friendship and fresh youth of the analog generation will be portrayed in the scene.
In the scene, which will be unveiled in the second episode of the series, Hye Jung (played by Son Eun Seo) asks In Ha to play the Cupid’s game to win a doll for her as she likes him secretly. As In Ha and Hye Jung look friendly, Yoon Hee (played by SNSD’s Yoona) eyes them with a sad look on her face. This scene will increase the viewers’ curiosity as a love triangle is tipped.
In order to shoot the scene, the crew brought props that are actually used in photo exhibitions or exhibitions of illustrated poems. The bamboo bow is also specially created for this scene. Paying careful attention to the details, this drama series will bring back a touch of nostalgia and old memories for many people who were college students in the 70s and the 80s.

Jang Keun Suk and SNSD’s Yoona, the leading actors of the drama series Love Rain, said what to watch on the series.
On March 23, the production company of KBS 2TV’s new drama series Love Rain told what Jang, Yoona, and director Yoon Seok Ho told the viewers to focus on as they watch Love Rain.
Love Rain is a love story between young people in the 1970s and in 2012. Talking about the essentials of love, beyond time and generation, it’s expected to touch the viewers. Jang is playing the role of Seo In Ha in the 1970s and Seo Jun in 2012, and Yoona is playing the role of Kim Yoon Hee in the 1970s and Jung Hana in 2012.
Interesting parts in this series are that Kim Yoon Hee in 2012 is played by Lee Mi Sook and Seo In Ha in 2012 is played by Jung Jin Young.
