The first meeting of the two lead characters, Jang Keun Suk and Yoona, in Rain Love was revealed.

In Love Rain, Jang plays a double role of Seo In Ha, a good-looking student from art college in the 1970s; and Seo Jun, In Ha’s son and a photographer who lives today in 2012, enjoying a freewheeling lifestyle and love. Yoona is also expected to appear as a double role: Kim Yoon Hee, a pure, innocent campus queen in the 1970s; and Ha Na, Yoon Hee’s daughter and an adorable girl.

The first meeting is between Seo In Ha and Kim Yoon Hee, the couple of fresh charms in the 1970s. Seo In Ha wears a paint-stained apron, while Yoon Hee is set in a college campus full of refreshing green trees and grasses. The scenery featuring the couple is like a beautiful watercolor painting.

In particular, In Ha is not able to take his eyes off Yoon Hee when he hands over a book to her. The scene arouses curiosity on what will be in store for them.

Love Rain’s director Yoon Seok Ho says, “This drama series is designed to show how romantic and genuine the love of young people in the 1970s was. To better deliver the sentiment, all the staff as well as actors are putting a lot of effort. The innocent, lyrical images and sensitivities of Jang Keun Suk and Yoona surely contribute to the production of the pictures we’ve planned to deliver.”

The most anticipated drama series will air early next year.

A Japanese remake of SBS drama "You Are Beautiful" reached the top spot on the Oricon DVD drama chart.

The Japanese remake of the original Korean drama was released on DVD on Dec. 7, and more than 32,000 copies were sold in the first week.

According to the Japanese music chart Oricon, "For sales within the first week of being released, the drama set the record for most number of DVDs sold in the drama category".

As well as ranking first in the drama segment, the DVD also made it to the third spot on the general DVD chart.

The Japanese version of "You Are Beautiful" aired in July and, similar to its Korean counterpart, featured idol group members – Hikaru Yaotome from JUMP and Yuta Tamamori and Taisuke Fujigaya from Kis-My-Ft2.

Original cast member Jang Keun-suk also had a cameo in the Japanese version.

The original SBS version first aired in 2009 and was rerun three times this year alone in Japan. The drama also helped launch Jang's career as a Hallyu star and helped him earn the unofficial title "Prince of Asia".

The drama's popularity in Japan also caused the television program to be turned into a play in October last year.
