Yoona will return to the screen with the new drama ‘Love Rain,’ alongside Jang Geunseuk!
Earlier today, Yoona’s casting in Yoon Seokho’s ‘Love Rain’ was confirmed! She will take on the female lead while Jang Geunseok will play her male counterpart.
Set in the 1970s, ‘Love Rain’ tells the love story of a man and woman who meet in college. No other details about the plot have been revealed but Yoona is said to play two characters in the drama, a college student named Kim Yoonhee in the 1970s, and her daughter, Yuri, in the present day.
Yoona proved her acting abilities in the daily drama ‘You Are My Destiny’ and ‘Cinderella Man,’ and her casting was bolstered by her youthful, innocent image. She is scheduled to start filming this fall; it will not affect SNSD’s comeback.
The drama has also been gaining interest due to the reunion of producer Yoon Seokho and writer Oh Sooyeon for the first time in ten years. The two both worked on the dramas ‘Autumn Tale’ and ‘Winter Sonata.’
‘Love Rain’ is expected to air in the first half of 2012. Fighting!

LOL Isn’t it interesting how Yoona is going to play a character named Yuri. ahaha XD
That’s exactly what I was thinking… Coincidence? I don’t think so! Now they’re SO gonna be called twins lol 🙂
LOL 😀 so true! YoonYul shipper 🙂

i srsly can’t wait for the drama to air! YOONA & JANG GEUN SUK<3 I enjoyed yoona's past dramas and i feel like she's not going to disappoint us in 'love rain' either :]
Wow!! Can’t wait for the drama. Btw, anyone knows what sort of length it’ll be? like how “You are My Destiny” was more than 150 episodes?
Wouldn’t it be great if one of the other girls sang an OST for this?? 🙂
Since the drama has a tentative release date of 2012, I’m guessing the standard length for a TV show season so anywhere between 20-26 episodes. Maybe less.
Recently I just thought that we gonna have to wait a little a bit longer to see Yoona’s new act cuz I new the girls are so busy but this news just made my day. I really miss Yoona!
Yay can’t wait! YoonA is sooooo pretty in this set of pics!
YoonA unnie ! Hwaiting!
Wooo!!!! Yoona!!!! Can’t wait for it to be out. Yoona hwaiting!!!
yayyy!!!!!good to know that yoong will be in a new drama with talented producer and writer.I have a feeling that it’ll be a hit.Cant wait for the drama already.
At a time when my mind is going through some kind of bias-change-parralax-thingamajism, the more I see of Yoona the more I am growing to love her. Can’t wait to see how much her acting has improved!
Omg omg spazz spazz…. Cant wait to watch my bias Yoona star in the new drama!! Its gonna be a hit for sure and this will help showcase her fabulous acting abilities!! Hope the other snsd members sing the ost to make it a win for the whole group! Yoona<3 HWAITING!!

Awesome, I’m glad she is finally getting another lead acting role. I will definitely check out this drama when it comes out. Yoona jjang!
Congrats to yoona on her new drama role. I usually don’t watch kdramas (too time consuming) but this is a must. Now, we got yoona in a drama and tiffany in a musical, and I am anticipating more is to come. It’s always nice to see our girls involved in other activities as well.
Can’t wait!!! :DD
i’m so excited to hear this news. i wish 2012 become faster so i can watch this new drama. aaah yoona i really miss your acting. i hope the other members someday can be a lead woman in a drama too 🙂 snsd fighting. daebak!
Yoona gets to shine in a drama series again 😀 !
A Long overdue event indeed ;).
Cheers !
Kenneth.
This is great for Yoona and for SNSD’s popularity in both Korea and Japan (JGS is hugely popular in Japan). The only concern I have is the tough schedule ahead for Yoona, word is the shooting for this drama will commence soon and will overlap with SNSD’s impending comeback promotions. I hope the drama shoot won’t pull her completely out of promotions, as I don’t think any Soshi fan will want to see anymore incomplete SNSD, but more importantly I hope she has enough energy to handle the tough schedule.
I had my fingers crossed when I heard the rumors, but now I’m celebrating forever 😉 Anyone not sure whether to watch Love Rain, ahh what can I say, just do it :p I never really understood YoonA until I saw her as an actress and she was totally in her element in YAMD (despite being 170-something episodes, I was entertained). Without a particle of bias in my body, I can say YoonA is a great actress, greater past all idol-actresses. I cannot wait for this and I hope lots of people give this drama a chance 🙂
AHHHHHH SPAZZ SPAZZ SPAZZ~!!!!! Finally! i was REALLY missing our Actress Im ❤ I hope she gets enough rest with their new upcoming album promotion and various activities though.
and YOONYUL!! ❤ hahaha She'll be playing a character name Yuri d'awwww.
Actress Im is back!! OH YEAH!
yuri, her daughter? haha….snsd yuri should act too….haha…
SNSD, fighting! ^^

Soul.

Definitely gonna watch thisssss! can’t wait for it 😉
It’s been a long time since I haven’t watched Yoona in dramas.
*Getting Excited* 🙂 focus. focus. focus. PATIENCE. 😀
Way To Go! Yoona!
yoona will surely have an improvement in her acting. she’s a type who positively accepts criticism and always tries to do her best in many things. she’s very passionate in her work too and can easily adapt the lessons she learned from past experiences. i’m sure this drama can help yoona gain confidence in acting and improve even more especially that she’s working with big time producers and directors. these people can make yoona get out of her shell and show her inner potential. she has THIS potential already ever since, she just needs to practice and improve it as time goes by…
knowing that she’s an idol, she was great in you are my destiny and cinderella man despite having difficulties due to schedules and lack of workshop
why don’t yoona try to sing the OST of this drama…it will be amazing..the others member can do also
omg!!! can’t wait for this! i’m sooooooo excited!!! ^^
i love yoona so much….i can’t wait for this drama to air.i like who ever actor that act with yoona because her look suitable with any actor like park jaejoong and kwan sang woo
i love yoona and jgs act together but i like yoona more than him…can’t wait for this drama(”)
Really excited about seeing this! I love SNSD but not too sure about Yoona’s acting skills but JGS and the directors definitely make it worth watching! Cannot wait! 😀
i really excited with this drama as far i know JGS are goodfriend with tiffany and now he are main role beside yoona and taeyeon sing for ost..omg i cant wait this drama… so interested!!!
yyyeeeyy!! is totally impressive!! i must watch that film!!
It’s really freaking awesome by new drama
that yoona snsd and jang geun seuk will be united to succeed the drama called love rain..Even heard the title can make audience excited to watch it..
