‘Love Rain’ holds its first script-reading with SNSD’s YoonA and Jang Geun Suk

PD Yoon Suk Ho, who’s famous for his melodramas like ‘Autumn Tale‘ and ‘Winter Sonata‘, is reuniting with writer Oh Soo Yun for the new drama, ‘Love Rain‘. The drama boasts a formidable cast comprised of Jang Geun Suk, SNSD‘s YoonA, Son Eun Seo, Hwang Bora, and Seo In Guk.

‘Love Rain’ recently held its first script-reading session with the cast, PD, and writer. PD Yoon Suk Ho led the meeting with careful and detailed suggestions on the acting. Jang Geuk Suk and Yoon prepared for their parts thoroughly, and the atmosphere in the meeting seemed no different from the actual filming environment.

The story portrays both the pure emotional love story from the ’70s, as well as the more modern type of love. PD Yoon Suk Ho reflected, “Many of the actors and actresses in this drama may not have experienced the style of romance felt in the ’70s.” He mused, “Looking back on my memories, it was an enjoyable time; that nostalgia is reflected in this production.

Jang Geun Suk will play a double role as a father and son, ‘Seo In Ha‘ and ‘Seo Jun‘. Commenting on his roles, he stated, “When I first saw the script, I cried a lot. I feel an ambition to express the two characters’ emotions, in addition to the emotions I feel and the sincere message I want to say through ‘Love Rain’.

Jokingly, he continued, “I usually covers roles that portray energetic personalities, but trying to do something more calm and steady ,it feels uneasy.“.

YoonA will play two roles as well; she’s accepted the part of ‘Kim Yoon Hee‘, a shy beauty from the ’70s arc of the show, as well as ‘Yuri‘, a cheerful girl from the present time. YoonA explained “The burden is big, as I have to act as two characters who have contradictory personalities. But by being together with the PD, writer, and the other actors and actresses, I have a strong heart. One by one, I’ll do everything possible.

After the script-reading ended, the actors and actresses ate dinner together and became even closer. Filming is scheduled to begin in September and the drama will air in early 2012.

SNSD Hyoyeon Receives Birthday Wishes From Fans


On September 22nd, Girls’ Generation’s fan cafe, “Cistus”, posted an ad in a daily newspaper wishing Hyoyeon a happy birthday.

Along with the advertisement gift, “Cistus” members did volunteer work for Hyoyeon’s birthday at a senior welfare center located in Incheon on August 27th, and donated Happy Beans to a children’s foundation under Hyoyeon’s name. (Note: Happy Beans are a charity item within Naver. People who make lots of blog/cafe posts, comments, and email replies are given Happy Beans. They are worth a few hundred won, and can be donated to various charities and foundations.)

The volunteer team leader of “Cistus”, Kim Jihoon, stated, “For Girls’ Generation’s 4th anniversary, a Taiwanese fansite sent us donations. After having it pushed down the line, we finally put it together with the volunteer work for ‘HyoTanJeol’.”

“HyoTanJeol” stands for “the day Hyoyeon was born”, and is what fans called her birthday.

Director Yoon Sukho, writer Oh Sooyeon, as well as all of the actors and actresses were present at Yoon’s Club, the production company behind “Love Rain”, for the first script reading. Director Yoon Sukho did not miss a single thing and led the reading with detailed directing. Jang Geunsuk, Yoona, and the other actors acted as if they were actually filming.

Yoona stated, “It was a bit burdensome that the two of us have such conflicting personalities (Yoona is referring to herself and Jang Geunsuk’s characters), but after working with the director, writer, and other actors, I feel a little more confident. I will do my best with a learning heart.”

The casting of Jang Geunsuk, Girls’ Generation’s Yoona, and Kim Sihoo increased fans’ anticipation. “Love Rain” will start filming in September and is scheduled to air at the beginning of 2012.

Sooyoung is SooJin's pillar of strength

Sooyoung’s elder sister, Choi SooJin who is a musical actress revealed her thoughts about the ‘Winter Sonata’ musical.

Ahead of her first performance on September 27th, SooJin said, “Playing the role of YooJin, there are a lot of difficult parts and I put my attention on the emotions and special gestures so as not to miss any of them. Particularly, in addition to YooJin’s pure and innocent appearance as projected by Choi JiWoo sunbaenim, I will try my best to bring out the appearance of the new YooJin. I want to present this work as a big gift for those who can never forget and love the drama ‘Winter Sonata’”.

She added, “Above all, my sister, Sooyoung, who is always praying for me, gives me great strength. Because she never fails in supporting and cheering me on when I have my musical performances, I think she will be coming too this time. As an unnie (elder sister), I want to show my dongsaeng (younger sister) the great side of myself”.
