‘Love Rain’ Reveals a Profile and Diary Entry of Yoona’s Character


After being absent for more than two years from Korea’s drama scene, Girls’ Generation’s Yoona will soon be making her return to the small screen in “Love Rain”, a beautiful romance drama. Yoona has been presented with a new challenge in the drama, playing both Kim Yoonhee from the 1970s and her daughter Jung Hana in the present day. To promote the drama, the producers of “Love Rain” have recently opened an official home page and released a smartphone application for Android phones, where users can find character profiles, a fan board, and photos. Both the website and the smartphone application feature Korean, English and Japanese, allowing fans to easily navigate through the content. The official website for “Love Rain” can be found here, while the smartphone application can be downloaded from the Android Market here.

The website and smartphone application currently contain a character profile and diary entry from Kim Yoonhee.

Yoonhee’s Character Profile:

The beginning of an ardent first love, 70′s Kim Yoonhee:


The beginning of an ardent first love, 1970′s Kim Yoonhee: female, 21 years old, Korean University home economics major.

The innocent Yoonhee, with her long hair waving in the wind, looks like she is a daughter in a rich family. However, in reality, she was very lonely growing up with her grandmother after losing both of her parents, who tried to save her from a bus accident.

She is studying very persistently to earn scholarships in college and performing various part-time jobs to afford college and living expenses. Her classmates insult her by saying that she is uncooperative and selfish, but Yoonhee does not have time to deal with them.

Yoonhee’s one and only friend is her diary. Out of loneliness, she wrote her thoughts in her diary. She wrote about her childhood years, about her parents, what she liked, everything.

She thought that no one would understand her in any way. But the man she met on one of those days when the autumn leaves are falling down was different. The man, who approached her as if he was reading her mind, grabbed her attention.

That was Yoonhee’s first love.


Yoonhee’s Diary Entry:

What will you mean to me?

by Yoonhee


“Love does not say sorry.”

This is a line from the movie “Love Story” that my parents liked. But I still don’t understand what it means. I read it over and over again, repeated the line over again, but it still confuses me.

My parents died while protecting me during a bus accident. The life with my grandmother after my parents passed away was very lonely, but I had to endure. I couldn’t worry my grandmother, who even sold our family gravesite for my tuition.

I encourage myself when I’m lonely by writing in a diary, but sometimes even diaries cannot embrace my loneliness. At those times, like the lead characters of the movie my parents liked so much, I want to meet someone to love just like how my parents loved each other.

He came along when I was feeling like that. The person that I could only write about in my diary and the person that really understood me became a reality.

The man who accidentally bumped into me one Autumn day, when the leaves are falling, is he a person who can explain what “Love does not say sorry” means?


“Love Rain” will air its first episode tonight at 9:55 KST.

Girls' Generation YoonA Talks about Her On-Screen Rivalry with Yuri

Girls' Generation YoonA Talks about Her On-Screen Rivalry with Yuri

During the press conference for upcoming melodrama “Love Rain,” YoonA talked about her friendly on-screen rivalry with fellow Girls' Generation member Yuri. When asked if the two talked about their inevitable competition for the ratings, YoonA explained, “We encouraged each other and told each other to do a good job.” Another reporter followed up the answer with “Don’t you still hope that ‘Love Rain’ does better?” YoonA continued, “I hope Yuri’s drama does well too," avoiding a direct answer. Her answers were firm, and she emphasized that the two were not competing against each other."Love Rain" co-star Jang Geun Suk also humorously mentioned that Yuri was his favorite Girls' Generation member.

“Love Rain” is a melo-love story set in two different periods – the 1970s and 2012. Jang Geun Suk and YoonA play Seo In Ha and Kim Yoon Hee, two college students who fall in love with each other in the 1970s; unfortunately, the two do not get their happily ever after. Fast forward to the present, Seo Joon, In Ha’s son (also played by Jang Geun Suk) meets and falls in love with Ha Na, Yoon Hee’s daughter (also played by YoonA). Jang Geun Suk’s 1970s Seo In Ha is a romantic arts student who is willing to lay down his life for the love of his life. His son Seo Joon, on the other hand, is a carefree photographer who enjoys a freewheeling lifestyle. YoonA’s 1970s Kim Yoon Hee is a pure, elegant “campus goddess,” while her daughter Ha Na is a bright and lovable character.

Meanwhile, Yuri made her grand appearance on SBS’sFashion King,” also starring Yoo Ah In, Shin Se Kyung, and Lee Jae Hoon, last night. In the series, Yuri plays Anna Choi, an attractive protégé of an internationally famous designer, who made a name for herself in America despite the stereotypes and hostility towards foreigners.
