Actually, I don't know why I start watching Love Rain.. Love Rain starts off with a low rating, even now, it ends also with low rating. But since I was curious with the genre, so I start watching it..
Story: People said that the story was slow.. But hey, Love Rain has the same script writer with Endless Love and Classic. They have the similiar genre actually, especially in first 4 episodes (in the 1970s era).. But as for me, it's perfectly fine. I enjoyed the flow of the story (even though actually I skipped episode 4 and just go through to episode 5). The 1970s story was so fluffy and almost poetic. Classic and romantic. It was different from most of recent dramas (which tend to have romantic comedy genre).
The rest of the episodes (the 2012 era) more likely parted into 2 stories: about Inha-Yoonhee and Joon-Hana. The 2012 stories are not as poetic as the 1970s, but still, it gives the feelings of "classic romance" rather than "romantic comedy". The storyline didn't have much twist, and not much side stories which apart from the main storyline. The story more likely stick with the main storyline and its development. Maybe that's why people becomes bored, because somehow the ending was predictable.
Acting: As usual, Jang Geunsuk was really good (somehow Joon's character remind me of Hwang Taekyung from You're Beautiful.. LOL). There were people who said that Yoona's acting here was terrible, and that her expression was flat. Well, imo, it's not that Yoona can't act, but Hana's character didn't need that much expression. Imo, Yoona already did very well as Hana. Their chemistry also really good.
But why I can't give 10 on score board was because, the older character, not all of them give me the same feeling as when they were younger.
Music: sooo heartwarming, especially Jang Geunsuk's Love Rain :) I definitely will listen to the whole album.
Rewatch value: as I said, because the storyline was slow and pretty predictable, also because there's not much twist, maybe not much of you would like to rewatch this. I, myself, not really rewatch the dramas I've watched. So, yeah..
Overall: This is a great drama, for you, the classic romance fans.. If you're looking for romantic comedy with a lot side stories and a lot of twist, maybe you will drop this drama from the very first episode.
If you can't stand the 1st episode, I suggest you can skip straight to episode 5. You maybe will lost the story a little, but there were plenty of flashbacks so maybe you can catch up with the stories, or maybe you can just focus on Joon-Hana's love line :)
