Jang Geun Suk and Girls' Generation YoonA's "Love Rain" Holds Press Conference
On March 22, over 350 reporters and photographers flocked to Lotte Hotel in Seoul for the press conference of upcoming drama “Love Rain,” starring Jang Geun Suk and Girls’ Generation’s YoonA. A representative of “Love Rain” stated, “Domestic and international reporters came to the venue three hours before the start of the event. We believe this is the greatest response a press conference has ever had.” Eager fans also made their way to the venue to catch a glimpse of this generation's biggest hallyu stars.
Actors Jang Geun Suk, YoonA, Kim Shi Hoo, Lee Mi Sook, Jung Jin Young, Kim Young Kwang, Son Eun Seo, Hwang Bora, Seo In Kook, and director Yoon Seok Ho attended the press conference and expressed their confidence and strong belief that “Love Rain” will become the next hallyu classic.
“Love Rain” is a melo-love story set in two different periods – the 1970s and 2012. Jang Geun Suk and YoonA play Seo In Ha and Kim Yoon Hee, two college students who fall in love with each other in the 1970s; unfortunately, the two do not get their happily ever after. Fast forward to the present, Seo Joon, In Ha’s son (also played by Jang Geun Suk) meets and falls in love with Ha Na, Yoon Hee’s daughter (also played by YoonA). Jang Geun Suk’s 1970s Seo In Ha is a romantic arts student who is willing to lay down his life for the love of his life. His son Seo Joon, on the other hand, is a carefree photographer who enjoys a freewheeling lifestyle. YoonA’s 1970s Kim Yoon Hee is a pure, elegant “campus goddess,” while her daughter Ha Na is a bright and lovable character.
Director Yoon Seok Ho and writer Oh Soo Yeon, the masterminds behind the sensational melodramas “Winter Sonata” and “Autumn in my Heart” have teamed up once again to produce “Love Rain.” With the combination of Jang Geun Suk, YoonA, director Yoon Seok Ho, and writer Oh Soo Yeon, it doesn't come as a surprise that “Love Rain” has already secured a Japanese broadcaster.

TV series "Love Rain" to shower viewers with emotions
"1, 2, 3 seconds is all that took for me to fall in love with her," Seo In-ha (Jang Keun-suk) said to himself feeling that time was slowing down as Kim Yoon-hee (Yoona) walked past him on campus.
Having gone through flaming love and growing pains as college students in the 1970s, Seo and Kim's love story continues again 30 years later; but this time, with kids.
In KBS' upcoming TV series "Love Rain," Jang plays both Seo In-ha living in the 1970s and his son Seo Jun living in 2012, while Yoona takes on the role of Kim Yoon-hee and her daughter Jung Hana. Also, the veteran actor and actress, Jung Jin-young and Lee Mi-sook, play the older version of the aforementioned characters.
"The storyline and how it entangles with all these different elements and the characters is something that I wanted to present to the audience for a long time. I know that it has never been done in other dramas," director Yoon Suk-ho said while introducing his first work in six years.
"It may be confusing to the viewers since it goes back and forth from the 70s to the present time but I feel that the actors did, and is doing, an amazing job in differentiating the characters according to the time period."
On playing dual roles Jang Keun-suk:
"This will be my first time portraying a double role and it's kind of a relief because we shot the episodes for the 1970s late last year and recently started shooting for the scenes for the present time......I thought I was going to be confused after shooting for the different time periods but it wasn't as bad as I thought."
Yoona:
"I was really interested in the concept of playing two roles and while working on 'Love Rain,' I found some quite interesting aspects of love from these two time periods (70s and now). Director Yoon gave me a lot of advice on how to express the two characters and the other cast members helped me on studying the overall characters as well. I was also worried if I could pull off these emotions well and I hope my effort bring out a satisfying result when the show airs. (laugh)"
Good old fashioned 1970s' love Jang Keun-suk:
"I asked my parents for advice on what it was like for them to live in the 1970s and their love story......it wasn't as lovely as I thought it would be. (laugh) So I asked director Yoon and he suggested that I watch movies and listen to music from 1970s. I thought it was going to be sort of a dark period but found that it wasn't any different from now, in terms of how people think and their love stories. I feel that it would have been fun to live in the 70s."
Yoona:
"Director Yoon is really into the details so I let my hair down when shooting the scenes for '70s and I wore lace socks and heels. Yoon told me some of his own stories from the '70s and I reflected some of his experiences on the drama in order to make myself feel really in it. I also had to talk less, speak slower than usual and be a good listener.....Also, the 70s gives off this vibe that makes you feel the purity in romance, which is quite difficult to see nowadays."
