Well, it looks like the proverbial “star” of one of our favourite Soshi ladies, Yoona, is certainly on the rise here :D. Why do I say that ? Well, Yoona’s latest KBS drama project “Love Rain”, in which she plays the role of 2 major characters, has recently been picked to be showcased at MIPTV 2012, to be held at Cannes, France, from the 1st to the 4th of April 2012.
This international event, organized by Reed MIDEM, is a recognized platform for financing, co-producing, buying and selling entertainment content across the world.
According to the event website, the synopsis of “Love Rain” states that this drama “tells of two kinds of loves—the pure love between two college students in 1970’s and the trendy love between the son and daughter of those students in the present day. Jang Geun-suk, a rising star in Asia and Yoona, a member of ‘Girls Generation’ who is winning popularity in Europe and America as well as Asia, have been cast as the main characters.”
KBS has already ear-marked “Love Rain” to be a Hallyu drama for the international entertainment market. At present, “Love Rain” has generated considerable interest in Japan, a real feat in itself.
According to market insiders at the above-mentioned event, this TV drama has 3 important things going for it: Director Yoon Sukho, Jang Geunsuk, and Girls’ Generation.
Well, it looks like our favourite 9 ladies are set to make another major impact in the worldwide entertainment arena, albeit in this case, by the proxy representation of only 1 member of the group, Yoona :).
Be that as it may, all I can say is: Yoona Jjang ! Yoona Daebak ! Yoona Hwaiting !

WOOOT!!!!
I knew Love Rain would be so POPULAR one day!!!!!
Go YOONA!!!!!
Good job, yoona
The Swedish radio talked about k-pop, the hallyu wave and SM Entertainment this morning! They weren’t talking much about our girls, but they played a little of Run Devil Run! Yay!
They also mentioned the tour in the US, France and Australia.
So, Michael Sternestedt (the only Swede I know who is hanging around this website), go to P1 on sr.se and listen to it! 😀
thanks for the info i will do that 😆
my genie wish is to see them live in stockholm but that is still far away i guess
after listening to that radio show i can only tell that k-pop is huge in sweden too
forgett USA now it is southkorea that counts when it comes to cultural influences
that k-pop karaoke place sounds nice 🙂

Yeah, Love Rain, Yoona and JGS Daebaaaaaaak 😀
This is amazing!! Love Rain is such a great drama, the storyline is great and has a lot of potential for development (if they do it right). If it keeps up at this rate it’s going to be my favorite drama that I’ve seen. Hopefully it will get more popular thanks to this event and due to its popularity in Japan b/c the ratings for the first episode were pretty bad and it’d be such a shame if it were cancelled. Love Rain hwaitiing, Yoona hwaiting!!!!
i am happy for yoona and i hope to see that tv show either with english subs here in sweden or in my wife brothers shop in china. when in china i spend the afternoons to see korean dramas in that shop 😆
YOONAAAAAAAAAA <3333
you always enchant me a lot…. this drama is REALLY REALLY GREAT..
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE RATING IN SOUTH KOREA. IT SEEMS THAT THIS DRAMA GAIN HIGH RATING FROM ABROAD VIEWERS…
KEEP FIGHTING, MY YOONG!!!
Patience my dear, I’m sure the ratings will rise week by week..
Just notice it today, Yoona and Yuri’s drama are aired at the same day and time, could be another reason why the rating is low. Or people now a days don’t want Mainstream Love Story Drama..
Maybe since Yuri’s drama first aired a week before Love Rain, it got a head start compared to Love Rain.
Just an idea.
i love drama love rain
i love yoona SNSD
i love Jang Geunsuk
i’m from Indonesia 🙂
akhaha…be Patience dear,your comment seems quite energetic one….just hope someday Love rain aired in indonesia.
You should subscribed cable tv which have KBS World channel, they will have it. I watched Wild Romance before on KBW World.
This drama from the star is aim to international, because the cinematography is amazing
Yoona Jjang ! Yoona Daebak ! Yoona Hwaiting !
Can’t wait for the next episode, the trailer is killing me arrgghhhh!! ^^
It has such low ratings but WTH, this drama is good for me. The drama would have a higher rating if it air in france, since they don’t know much about Korean Dramas or watch The Classic.
Yeah LOVE RAIN FIGHTING….
Can’t wait for next episode…
Saranghae love rain, I like this drama so much 😀
I love this drama LOVE RAIN and I love Yoona. I HATE those fans or ppl who are anti Yoona talk and write badly about her. She is innocent. SM entertainment put her in the centre for some reason is not like she have a choice. Those stupid ppl that talk badly about Yoona can keep their mouth SHUT.
love rain is the best drama series.. and i like the story … heheh go yoona….
good drama……….yoona…..go…go…..
