I already hooked after the first episode, though some of you thought that the first few episodes were boring, but to me it was perfect.
The story is beautiful, when 2 people didn't meant to be together but eventually their children are the ones who will complete their love story.
The acting was amazing. I really love Geun Suk's acting, he was really skilled, and Yoona's acting was so CUTE! She was as pretty as ever.
The music! Ah! I fell in love with all the OSTs. I literraly downloaded it ALL after I finished watching it.
So, you don't have to worry about how the drama sucks, because it doesn't. I highly recommend you to watch Love Rain.

I really liked the story, I just didn't like how it dragged on and on in the last 4-5 episodes. That's the only minus I have in the storyline overall.
The cast was great, especially the main actors. YoonA surprised me with her acting. She did a nice Kim Yoon Hee, but I really loved her as Ha Na. Jang Geun Seok was also amazing. The difference between In Ha and Yoon was a great one and he did both of them perfectly. The supporting cast also, almost everyone played double roles with a lot of difference between the two, and every actor did a great job.
The music, ah yeah, the music. The music was really sweet and cute. I have downloaded the OST immediatly and there is only one song I dislike. I also really like the fact that there are two versions of 'Because it's You', one for In Ha and Yoon Hee and one for Yoon and Ha Na.
As I said in previous revieuws, I dislike rewatching drama's, because I already know the story. This one also, has a very memorable story. When I would rewatch it, I wouldn't enjoy it anymore because I already know what's coming.
OVerall, I gave this show an 8/10, because I really, really enjoyed watching it and I only had minimal points that I dislike. I would highly reccomend this to anyone who hesitates to watch this!

The story is pretty different than others where lots of focus is given to 2 couples throughout the story,the parents and their children.
There isnt much that needs to be analysed or thought over.Though the angsty parts do make us question and ask who loves more.The parents and their 30 year love or the young ones with their new and fresh love
The best part of this drama was the romance.Jang Geun Suk is awesome as Joon.He plays his part well and his kissing skills have definately improved from his You're beautiful days.Though i definately would like to have a private word with his stylist who's made a huge blunder with the hairstyle and the clothes hiding the handsome man that Jang Geun Suk is.But being JGS he still shines..:)
I love his character growth who from a flirt turns into this caring and kind man who's ready to sacrifice his love for his love's happiness.Nothing matters to this guy but Ha Na and that's so cute.Love all the intimacy because its not forced but natural,like they are so much in love that their smiles and eyes say a lot.They have such sweet and heartwarming chemistry.Leaves me feeling warm all over and happy.Yoon Ah as Ha Na is convincing enough.
The parents love was beautiful till episode 4 but then then they grew to be adults it was missing that zing that we call romance.i just didnt care for them anymore but that they were an obstruction to my beloved couple.I loved the character of Sun Ho.He was a kind and caring friend till the end and Kim Shi Woo is major eye candy.will be stalking his future dramas..:D
Mi Ho is one of the most annoying characters ive come across.She's clingy,needy and irritating as hell.She has no self respect so i skipped her parts the most.Yoon Hee and Ha Na's mother-daughter relationship was so touching and full of love that it seemed real.She makes one beautiful and loving mom.I loved that Ha Na loved her mom and considered her happiness above her own even though she knows she'd end up dying inside evry single second that passes.Such love for a mother is so rare almost nil.It also showed the harsh reality of what a divorce does to the children and how twisted and self centered Hye Jung is.I loved the development of father-son relationship of Joon and In Ha.Joon hated his father after the divorce but due to Ha na and Yoon Hee he healed his relationship with him.All the wounds that were there in the starting were starting to heal at the end of the drama.satisfying and shows us the human ability to change in a good way..:)
The soundtrack is like the assortmant of different candies laid in front and you get to pick the ones you like.Its that awesome.From english to french to korean.its so awesome!!!
No words could desribe how OUTSTANDING the cinematography is.Its so beautiful and breathetaking that i'm gonna rewatch those scenes again later some time
Now the bad parts.It was too draggy.I haven't skipped through a drama as much as i did through this one.I just couldn't care for the characters apart from a handful.The writers were so good to write such an unforgettable romance but not anything else.I feel dissapointed for the drama could have been and would have ended up being my all time favourites because i love my romantic dramas but this was just too draggy for my taste.Even the angst becomes too much after a few episodes.The story was perfect to make us care,love and end up in tears for the love that could never be but alas the writers were going for a slow melodrama that went slower than a caterpillar.
I mourn for a drama that could have reached higher but landed up in the middle but i still ended up loving it.The romance is the one redeeming factor.
To all those who dropped it because it was draggy or those planning to watch.Just be patient.Use the fast forward button and enjoy the romance because its beautiful and worth every minute..:)

It's unusual to see a love between unexpected people.What a blind love between In Ha-Yoon Hee and Seo Joon-Ha Na.Unbreakable bonds between them always keep them together in a wild-amazing-tragic life.
Yoona and jgs really fit in their roles a lot!(not even that,they look great together:)
For music Jang Geun Suk has a very sweet ballad voice.Nothing to tell about it-JUST GREAT!
I'll rewatch it again,again and again....:)Because i'm an impatient person who can't wait for new ep of love rain.^^
For overall everything is great but just one thing.Poor yoona -don't make her sad and don't leave her with tearful eyes:)"Yoona, you must be happy,it suits you more:)"
I'll always hope that their love for each other keep them together^^

That's what this show was about, making me feel things. I got to see all kinds of love. You name it, you have it. There was the young shy love, the hot-blooded love, the infamous unrequited love, the love between friends, the love between family, the jealous love, the immature love - everything. The show WAS love.
If it hasn't struck you yet, I think I should make it clear that if you cringe away from anything too emotional or romantic (mind you, I didn't say the word mushy anywhere) you should steer clear from this drama. Because this drama set my emotions on an over-drive. I haven't cried so much in any drama. From the 1st episode itself! It was almost embarrassing for me.
The story isn't the best one out there but it worked for me. It showcased the pure unadulterated love that we rarely get to see. The first part (the 1970s era) was magical. The feelings, the music, the whole thing just took me to another world. There was this inexplicable pull that part of the show had for me, I could watch it a million times and not get enough. Impractical and way to high moral obligations, they just made the love seem more majestic. The other part of the show (the present age) was atypical. It had fun moments, straightforward and thankfully decisive people in love. Even though there was the element of girl-meet-boy-sparks-fly but there was also the fresh touch of maturity and understanding that separates this love from the other young loves we see now. We could have had the show end with 16 episodes and have a better story in our midst but somehow, the slow end, the way various things were taken care of at their own pace was something new. We usually have finales where the loose ends are tied up way too quickly and untidily. Here, you have a clear and smooth end. I think the last couple of episodes could be thought of as a mega-finale.
The actors should receive high commendations. Especially the lead couple - Jang Geun Suk and Yoona. These two simply took the show to another level. Be it the 1970s era or the present age. You cannot, how much ever you try, find similarities in their acting in the two periods. Their performance was so flawless that you fall in love with their characters along with them, you feel what they feel. The supporting cast was pretty great as well. I think they did well considering the roles they were given. The acting didn't seem misplaced at least, the characters were maybe a little off sometimes.
Music.. I think music is a gigantic stage of love. You cannot be in love and not listen to music. The music of this show simply swept me off. There is usually one song (maybe not even that) in a show that I like and listen to even after the show ends. But the music of this show, I loved it as a whole. It breathed life into the scenes and if possible, made it even more heartwarming. The title track touches my heart in a way no song has ever done, and I don't even know the language! That's what feelings are about I guess.
I don't usually ever watch the shows again, maybe sometimes a few scenes here and there, but I'm itching to start the show all over again as I type this, and it has not even been more than an hour since I finished it. The show reminded me what love is. It was melodramatic, it was long, it dragged through the latter part, it made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me smile for no reason, it made me cry with happiness, it made me blush, it made me angry, it made me angst-y, sometimes it made no sense at all. Sounds a lot like love to me :)

I loved this drama from the very beginning. The characters were well written and made me feel sad, happy, angry with them when they were feeling it. The melo part of it didn't seem forced or over the top and fake. For me, it flowed naturally from the actors portraying these characters. The cute, "mushy" moments made me gush every single time. Even the minor ones were great. They brought comic relief when it was absolutely needed.
This drama felt like watching a movie the whole time. The directing and cinematography was excellent. I also loved the OST. I think it went perfectly with drama and it completely enhanced the feelings the actors were portraying. I didn't give it a full 10, only because Ha Na's incessant crying for a few episodes got a little too much for me. But who knows? I might change my mind and give it a full 10 later on since for me this was a great drama, complete with great directing and great touching music.

This is very very funny.. It gets thrilling episode by episode. I love JGS and Yoona's chemistry :)
The OST too are very good: Love Rain, Because It's You (Tiffany of SNSD), Again and Again and Shy Confession Song are my favorites! :)
But I have to admit that the first few episodes maybe (1-3?) were kinda serious and slow.. it got me to the point that I stopped watching it. Then I read a lot in my news feed about how great this drama is. And I again gave it a try but this time I skipped to the 6th or 7th episode, the new generation episodes. That is were I started loving this drama..
The supporting characters are also very good! I love Seo In Gook and Shi Hoo.

Good storyline, good picture, good chemistry, and excellent acting of the characters make this drama should not be missed. Although there are some scenes which I thought was slow, or some of the scenes which I thought was annoying, but overall this drama is amazing.
If you Sukkie fan, then this drama will make you really crazy about him.
If you are not fans, then you will fall in love with him.
I really hope that this story ends happily for Seo Joon and Ha na.
