Actor Jang Keun Suk will pull a 180 degree transformation both inside and out.

On March 8, the production company for KBS’s new Monday-Tuesday series Love Rain released new stills.

In the stills, which were taken in Hokkaido, Japan, Jang is showing off his double identity as he plays a double role for the series.

Jang plays the role of Seo In Ha in the 70s and Seo Joon in 2012.

The series will portray an innocent love through the beautifully shot show. It will start airing on March 26 after KBS’s Monday-Tuesday series Dream High 2 goes off the air.

Actress Park Shin Hye recently gave a boost to Lee Seung Hwan and his mentee, Eric Nam.

On March 2, the lovely actress tweeted a picture with the comment, “A shot with the mentor Lee Sueng Hwan and the mentee Eric Nam of Birth of a Great Star on MBC. Send the heartthrob Eric love and support on Friday night at 9:50 p.m. Samchon and Eric, go!”

In the picture, Park, Lee, and Eric are seen striking a lively pose. Lee and Park made acquaintance while they belonged to the same agency, Dream Factory, when she had just made her debut. That explains why the starlet calls the singer samchon. (Samchon can refer to a guy who you have a close relationship with but who is a bit elder than oppa.)

Thanks to the duo’s support, Erick succeeded in making his way into the top 5.

Recently, Jang Keun Suk and SNSD’s Yoona who star in KBS’s new drama series Love Rain left for Hokkaido, Japan for a location shooting.

Love Rain is a series composed of an “analogue” love story back in the 70s and a “digital” one in the present time, 2012. As the shooting for the 70s began in September last year and wrapped up recently, the production crew went on location in Hokkaido, Japan for the scene in which Seo Joon (played by Jang Keun Suk) and Hana (played by Yoona) meet for the first time in 2012.

Besides Jang and Yoona, Jung Jin Young (plays Seo In Ha in 2012) and Kim Young Kwang (plays Han Tae Sung in 2012) will also be on location in Japan for Love Rain which is planned to be about ten days long.

The location shooting will be about the cynical photographer Seo Joon and the international student Lee Hana running into each other by destiny.

As Jang and Yoona are expected to play an ecstatic scene having a beautiful snowy landscape of Hokkaido in the scenery, the location in Japan has built even more expectations for the viewers who are looking forward to the first episode.

A staff member of Yoon’s Color, the production company of the series, says, “Location in Hokkaido will be about shooting the turning point of the series as time swiftly moves from the 70s to 2012. If we say that the story in the 70s projected some classic emotions, the one in 2012 will appeal with a trendy sensation, exposing the viewers to an unusual experience as if watching two series at the same time. We hope you will like the series as we are pouring our best in capturing some beautiful Hokkaido sceneries in the camera.”

The first episode of KBS’s new drama series Love Rain will broadcast on March 26.
