I started love rain, for two reasons: First, I was moved by the story of both Endless Love 1 and 2 and I was very thrilled to know that love rain has the same writer and director, so I did have high hopes for it. Second, I enjoyed JGS's acting/role in You're Beautiful/He's Beautiful and he's really an actor of high potentials and I'm looking forward to his new role in love rain. If you share the same reasons as me, then you should try love rain.
For the story, I would like to breakdown my comments for the 70's and 2012 scenes. FOR THE 70's EPISODES, some says that it was slow. Yes it was, YET, it my pov, the slow turn of events suited the time it was in. It was beautiful and romantic, the story was a little bit of cliche, BUT it was still heartwarming to watch. I still find the story sweet. FOR THE 2012 EPISODES, the story pick-up. The scenes on the 2012 were very cute and exciting. I really appreciate the difference of the stories in the two periods. You can really see how today's generation is different from the past. However, I must admit I did not enjoy some of the scenes in the later part of the drama. YET, I still enjoyed most of the scenes.
JGS was still good as ever, I find his scenes very very sweet and I can't help but feel in love with his lines and character, both in the 70's and 2012 scenes. For Yoona, I've only watched two dramas starring her. This and Cinderella man. So, I could only compare her acting skills for CM and LR. For me, Yoona did improved a lot. I find her acting very bad in Cinderella Man (I don't know why but I just don't like how the way she acts in that drama). Back to Love rain, Yoona did a good job in her character. Yoona and JGS has a chemistry. Still, I was looking forward for the other cast's characters to grow, wish they had showed side stories about the other characters, it might have been much much better.
Music was good and I find it romantic too. Ahmm, and I must commend on the cinematography (though, I didn't know much about it). I enjoyed the colors. It was beautiful to watch. It was catchy and very pretty.
Rewatch value, I can only rate it 7.
Overall, Love Rain is a good drama and for those who love classic love stories, this is the right drama for you!
