'Love Rain' Jang Geun Suk and JoonA Bonded Together After the First Script Reading
Director Yoon Suk Ho, who created the brand-name collection of melodramas "Autumn in my Heart" and "Winter Sonata", will make a new drama, "Love Rain" with screenwriter Oh Soo Yeon.
Recently the two of them and the cast members (Jang Geun Suk, YoonA, Kim Si Hoo, Sohn Eun Suh, Hwang Bo Rah, and Suh In Gook) have already attended the official meeting for the first script reading at Yoon's Color Production Company. Everyone was well prepared for their own roles so the cast became full of enthusiasm. It is being said that the practice script reading session was more like an actual recording.
Since the drama takes place in different time periods, Yoon advised the cast the importance to apprehend the emotions of characters in both the 70s and the present. Yoon explained the significance in understanding the different kinds of love and emotions from other generations: "One sided-love was common during the 1970s, something that actors and actresses today would have not widely experienced in their generation. In the 70s loving another person solely with your heart and soul was happiness. The experiences that remain in my memory are written in my script."
In "Love Rain" Geun Suk plays double roles: a fine artist Seo In Ha who devotes his love to only one women and free soul photographer Seo Yoon. Geun Suk said: "I burst into tars when I first read the script. I want to pass on this same heartwarming feeling to the audiance as I portray the characters of these two men. I believe both Yoon and screenwriter Oh will guide me to fill in any experience I lack."
Jan Geun Suk was especially praised for his brilliant acting and immersion of emotion. "I usually play a happy character. I feel naked acting as a calm character", he joked.
YoonA will play two contrasting characters as well: an ellegant college student Kim Yoon He from the 70s and an energetic young girl, living in the present day, Yu Ri. "I felt a lot of pressure having to act two different characters, but after collaborating with the cast I feel reassured. I'm open to learn and do my best", YoonA said with determination.
Love Rain will showcase a beautiful romance between a woman and a men from two different generations in a timeless manner.
