"Love Rides The Rain" is a fantasy, melodrama that illustrates the love stories that take place in the 1970s and current era. It tells the story of how love in the 1970's passes on to the next generation. Both Jang and Yoona play 2 roles each. Jang plays a father-son pairing, the father named Seo In Ha (in the '70s portion of the drama), and the son named Seo Joon. Yoona also plays a mother-daughter pairing, the mother named Kim Yoon Hee, a young woman with pure appearance, and the daughter named Hana.

  Love Rain had caught my attention before because of the great trailer it has. I loved the first part of the story but hard to say I really don't liked it that much at the 2nd part. The story at first was really heart melting especially if you'll put yourself into the situation of the main characters. The next half of the story was a disappointment for me because it's a really long and I think they did the story into circles.
  
  What I love about this drama is the music that it has. The songs were really great and it suited the scenarios in the drama. The actors and actresses also did great but for me I won't try to watch it again.

  This review is hard for me to write. This drama was a little difficult for me to finish. Which threw me. I expected to love this drama and for the first half I really did love it. I liked the premise of the lovers meeting in the 70's and their children meeting and falling in love in present day. The first few episodes in that world were awesome!
  
  The director of this drama really knows his stuff. The cinematography, set design and costumes were stellar. I wish MDL had a ratings section for the technical aspects of dramas because I would have given that a 10 plus. This drama was nothing if not beautiful to look at, both technically and aesthetically.
  
  I really enjoyed Jang Geun Suk in this role. He has improved as an actor and really seemed mature. His acting wasn't as stiff or forced as I have felt from him in other dramas/movies I have watched. I adored Joon during so many moments of this drama. I enjoyed Yoona too. Their characters and their love story was in many ways adorable!
  
  But somehow the writing of this drama fell flat for me...grew redundant and boring. It was likable but I am still confused as to where it went wrong for me. I think somewhere around episode 16 I began to struggle to keep my interest unless the main pairing was on screen together. The plot just didn't grab me and follow through in an exciting way. The final episode was cute but also at the same time, a bit choppy and didn't flow smoothly.
  
  The Older Couple just made me kind of sad and I wish I could have felt the passion carry over in the adult version of the pair that I felt from them during the scenes from the past. It seemed that in every conversation they said the same thing over and over.
  
  I liked the music but nothing really grabbed me, made me groove or move me emotionally.
  
  Ultimately I would have to say that if I could condense this drama down to 16 episodes and keep the main (modern day) pairing on screen I could have given this a higher score. Gah! I wanted to LOVE Love Rain!
  
  And because I was fond of this drama and because of the main leads...I am bumping this up to an 8 when realistically in my head, I think it probably deserves lower.
  
  My re-watch value is set at 5...middle of the scale. I know I probably won't watch again.
  
  But I say this...I have much more respect for Jang Geun Suk as an actor. He was also extremely adorable... And the director really did a great job. If only I could say the same about the writing and plot.
