[NEWS] Collection of Yoona’s Lovely Expressions in Love Rain

The stills from KBS2′s drama Love Rain is getting attention.

Girls’ Generation member Yoona is playing two roles of Yoon Hee in 1970s and Ha Na in 2012 in the drama series “Love Rain”, exuding a distinct charm. Comparing to the quiet and elegant Yoon Hee of the 1970s, the lovely bright girl Ha Na of 2012 is more attractive to the audience. Especially whenever she is bullied by “vicious tongue” Seo Joon, the look of Ha Na pouts is winning the tender affection from audience.

While these photos present Ha Na, the cheerful charm of Yoona is also included in theme. On the filming set, Yoona is also well loved by all staff crews due to her lively and lovely personality, and is known as the atmosphere maker.

Official related to “Love Rain” said, “Ha Na and Yoona have many similarities, although continuing shooting is very hard, but Yoona who is smiling all the same is been complimented by the staffs.”

Episode 9 of “Love Rain” broadcast on April 23rd, 2012 is getting attention because of hinting on kiss scene of Jang Geun Suk and Yoona after drunk.

[NEWS] Yoona Acting in Love Rain Improved Beyond Expectation

Girls’ Generation member Yoona is not only impressive in beautiful look, but also through her portrayal of two different characters in drama series “Love Rain“. Currently, Yoona is performing her much improved acting in her third drama series, “Love Rain”, attracting the attention of critics.

Kim Yoon Hee, the female student at the campus of 70s, and Jung Ha Na, a modern girl who is bright and quirky, are two roles with completely opposite charms. The former is quiet and elegant, the latter cute and cheerful. The reporter of OSEN, Yoon Ga Ee commented on the acting of Yoona, “She not yet presents her beautiful outlook. Yoona can also capture the scene with rich emotions and polished facial expressions. As a viewers, everyone can have only even more positive anticipation to ‘actress’ Yoona.” When playing the role as Kim Yoon Hee, Yoona is very quiet, she utilizes many subtle and vivid facial expressions and petty actions to draw the audience into the role that the director Yoon Suk Ho created.

Then, the plot transitions to present day, and thereupon after the role of Yoona changed to modern girl Jung Ha Na, she has more opportunity to perform.

Yoona naturally blends her temperament into Ha Na, and makes the character more vivid and dramatic with a wide range of emotions. Reporter Choi In Kyung of Review Star said of Yoona, “Once, the laughing and crying of Yoona only gave a feel of beautiful, but now she has changed! When she is sad and cried because of giving up on her first love, senior Han Tae Seung (Kim Young kwang), audience will cry together. When she poses funny actions clumsily and cutely in front of the camera, viewers will laugh.”

In fact, through her accurate and fine performance, Yoona is fully capable of leading the viewers into the plot of the drama, and affected by the mood of the characters. She not only fully demonstrates the personality of the character, but can also show off a variety of charms of the role. In the newest episode, Choi In Kyung said, “Yoona become prettier than the past, and will become even more beautiful.” Of course, it’s the credit of beautiful clothing and makeup, but more important reason is because of the facial expressions and improved acting of Yoona. Getting rid of the “idol origin” label which she has been carried, Yoona fully immerses into her role, and transforms into the “Ha Na” herself.

“Love Rain” is Yoona’s third drama after “You Are My Destiny” and “Cinderella Man”. Even though she is a veteran singer in Girls’ Generation, but she is still considered to be a rookie actress. The improvement of Yoona is a surprise for critics, not only because such improvement was considered as impossible, but because at the same time, she has to complete the intensive Girls’ Generation performing activities around the world. She has learned from criticisms and suggestions hurled on her in the past to improve herself, and grabs at every opportunity to train her acting. Yoon Ga Ee wrote, “The speed of improvement for Yoona’s acting skill is extraordinary. Her acting has reached the level when one wants to ask, ‘When did her acting become so good?’ The criticism that bugged her after appearance in ‘Cinderella Man’ is now nowhere to be found.”

In the drama, Yoona faces the challenge of playing two different roles which are completely contracting each other. Perhaps the most impressive part of Yoona’s performance is the fact that she is breaking away from the stereotype for “idol-actress”, and strives to show that she can become actress, and not an idol part-time as actress. The future of actress Yoona is full of hope.

[NEWS] Love Rain’s open press conference at Sangsu-dong

On 27 April at 11 am in Korea, many Japanese tourists gathered in the vicinity of Mapao, Sangsu-dong, Seoul to catch a glimpse of the filming venue of Keun-chan, Jang Keun Suk. They could not move close to him, but were still very happy that they saw him.

On 27th morning at Sangsu-dong, KBS 2TV drama “Love Rain” airing on Monday and Tuesday had a open press conference at their filming venue. The filming cast only had a short sleeping time from when they ended filming at Chuncheon, Kangwon province at 3 am and travelled to Seoul and started their filming in Seoul at 6 am.

At the press conference, JKS mentioned, “Basically, we have started live filming (*broadcast speed caught up with filming speed). Only sleep 2 to 3 hours a day. It feels like a dream when I’m awake.”

At every filming venue, JKS’ Japanese fans can be seen. JKS: “I also don’t know how they know to come here. Many fans are here to tour Korea and coincidentally come across the filming.”

“Regrets low ratings but we are unmoved”

Love Rain started filming in September last year and compared to other mini-dramas, had more time, but because of the background and props change from the 1970s to the modern 2012 period and the need to air sufficient footage weekly, the filming pace is noticeably more tense and stressed. In terms of the quantity of filming, JKS says, “I’m considered number 2. Yoona’s schedule is no joke. To me, it looks like a killing schedule [JKS sticks out tongue].”

The leads Jang Keun Suk and Yoona received favourable reviews for their acting skill, but the viewership ratings are behind MBC’s “Light and Shadow” and SBS’ “Fashion King”. Actors would want to consider viewership. JKS has not spent much thought about this. “During the filming for the 1970s, I’ve gotten closer to Yoona. Everyone is happy on the set, so (we are) resolute in the filming.”

It’s absolutely not easy to express the feelings of the 1970s without having gone through the experience. JKS calls this the “sentimental aesthetics” of the 1970s. In PD Yoon’s words, “throw out the fast-paced and aggressive plot development” – everyone is resolute on this. JKS smiles and says, “(High) ratings involves contradictory twists and turns and exaggerated character, but this time, we want to capture the nature of this drama. Of course there are many regrets, but I am satisfied with the beautiful images.”

JKS: “Please do not excessively expect success of me”

When we hear the name “Jang Keun Suk”, the first thing that comes to mind is “very grandiose”. JKS himself knows this very well. As the image of the actor “Jang Keun Suk” gives people a very strong feeling of an artiste, sometimes JKS feels lost as to how he should continue his path. JKS says, “Seo Jun in 2012 is typical of Jang Keun Suk. Seo Jun feels a bit domineering, but Seo In Ha in the 1970s was completely an innocent youth. My mum saw my character in the 1970s and also said it will be tough. If I want to choose a safe path, I won’t pause to consider image.”

Previously, the audience liked actors in their mid-20s to 30. However, recently, especially in family dramas, actors around the age of 25 years old are even more popular with the audience. JKS says laughingly, “There’s Park Yuchun, Lee Seung Gi and brother Ryu Ha In. Previously I was lonely and wanted to have some competition with everyone. Now it’s more interesting with more competitors. I want to share ideas and thoughts of responsibility with peer actors.”

“I hope that everyone does not excessively expect success of me. From the results, the low ratings caused continuous talk about the vast difference in my popularity in Korea and Japan, but to me at 26 years old, how can I have everything? Isn’t the 20s an age of continuous experimentation and awakening? Now I have a drama every year; forever I will keep on challenging myself like this.”



The reason for JKS and Yoona’s passionate kiss at fountain…

JKS answered questions from reporters regarding the kissing scene, and joked that he’s very worried that he will be beaten to death by Sones.

In Love Rain, JKS and Yoona’s kissing scene caused much talk amongst the audience. JKS said, “Seo Jun’s character is that even if he’s sitting quietly, he doesn’t look very cool. The kissing scenes were confirmed before filming, and are passive and lack a sense of reality. It feels too beautified. And Seo Jun’s character is obstinate and direct, hence I adopted an aggressive filming effect.”

JKS’ kissing scene with Kim Ha-neul in “You’re my Pet” also caused much talk then. This time obviously JKS is more experienced. JKS starts to joke again, “I heard bells ringing in my ears. Recently I’ve been filming many kissing scenes with seniors; this time, I am the leader in filming with a junior.”

PD Yoon adds, “I’m very satisfied with the acting cast. Although Yoona is a singer, her acting skills are not bad. Hope that we can hear more compliments about the acting skills of the actors.”
