Surprisingly really good!
I didn't quite expect it (mostly because of the 7.4 rating that is not THAT good when we consider that a lot of shitty shows are overrating on this website) but I found myself really liking this series.
The story is quite original - losing the hearing when it rains - and, even though, I wasn't really convinced of the you-can-only-hear-and-talk-to-your-soulmate-when-it-rains thing when it first appeared, I quickly forgot about how weird that was and went on with the show.
I also really loved the maturity of the characters. Although the actors are young, they managed to make me believe they were qualified to work in their field (especially the vets). I was especially surprised at Pee's performance. I have to admit that I wasn't very convinced with him when I saw the trailer for this series - I mean... his previous roles were in sh*tty shows like YYY and Y-Destiny in which he had the crazy/funny-type character, if I remember correctly - but he plays a complete different role in La Pluie and he is shining in it! He looks really mature which makes him ten times more handsome than in the two series that I mentioned and he really delivers. I was convinced by his performance. As for Title, I already knew he was a good actor as I watched Remember Me before.
My only complaint would be that the end was rushed. I think they had enough materials to make another episode. Especially because they wasted about 10 minutes on Tai looking for Patts in Chiangmai... They even gave us a flashback of characters that were just introduced and that we didn't care about! And that cliffhanger...! Does it mean there's going to be a second season?
Anyway, as a whole, it was a great series.
