“I’m actually Prince of Asia, but…”, even though he said like this, we don’t feel unpleasant. In this way, he has no qualms about describing himself as such. He is the very person, Actor Jang Keun Suk. He celebrates 20 years as an actor this year, but it’s been only a couple of years since his merits started to be appreciated. JKS, who played the role of one of the children in the drama “Fairy Keommi”, has eventually become a top runner of the Hallyu boom. How did he succeed to grab the public’s attention? We have high expectations for the future of this smart young actor.

Was this boy a real show-off?

Jang Keun Suk debuted as a child model when he was six. Since then, he appeared on several dramas such as “Ladies in the Palace” and “Fairy Keommi”. In this way, he solidified his position as a child actor. When he turned seventeen, he appeared on “Nonstop 4″ and attempted to change him into an adult actor. However, he didn’t draw much attention.

New Drama “Love Rain” vs. Classic “Winter Sonata”

10 years after ‘Winter Sonata”, the making team reunited. This time the leading actors are two big stars: Jang Keun Suk and Yoona (SNSD).

This really made this drama is highly expected.

PD Yoon always uses his unique camera to catch sentimental and pure beauty just like a water color painting. The story has two parts - the 70s and modern years. Love Rain is a love story that happens in the youth year with pure love.

The main characters of the drama described... 

Seems like a very beautiful and interesting plot and story if you ask me.



Seo In Ha, an Art Academy Student, 23 years old

The diary she lost, he read it with sad feelings for many nights. His 20 year-old heart was filled in by her then.

He is an art student. Just like a Monet painting, he has a gentle face with a smile like sunshine.
He was called genius because of his great drawing talent. He is also famous for his interest – music. He writes music and lyrics and he is pretty talented on that, too.
And he is from a wealthy family.
If there is an “unfairness” that exists, then it is because of him.
All the girls would give him their hearts, but he doesn’t really care.

Kim Yoon Hee, Domestic College Student, 21 years old
The long bench in front of art academy; the baby breath bouquet; the rain on that day; the time they went to see the sunset together at the beach, her 21 year-old spring and summer she spent with him and that was her happiness.

She has long hair, pale skin, she wears wavy dress and white socks. Yoon Hee has an innocent face with two big beautiful eyes that can smile, so does her long hair.
She was born to a decent family and with a carefree upbringing, but she lost her parents when she was very young and her grandmother raised her up. Because of the family economy, she has to do several jobs. So it is a luxury thing for her to go to the music tea house to listen to the boys play music. Her diary is the only place she can talk about her story.

Lee Dong Wook, Medical School Student, 23 years old

I may have had over 1000 girl friends, but true love is only once. I want to be a person who can be even better than Elvis Presley

He is the popular DJ of the school’s music tea house, “sara B.” His handsome face and clever eloquence made him the “Casanova” of the girls.
He always has enthusiasm to everything. He knows how to enjoy life, but under that he has a dark secret. His father is the younger son of a famous politician family, but he fell for a woman who was from a temptress place, and then they had Dong Wook. So Dong Wook can barely remember anything about his mother.

Bae Hye Jung, Domestic College Student, 21 years old.

She looks like “Natalie Woods” so she is the queen of many college boys’ dream.
She is from a wealthy family, very self-centered. Her straightforward and fearless character is her charisma.
She always hangs out with In Ha, Dong Wook and Chang Mo, so the girls admire her position. She only pays attention to In Ha, but he never looks at her. She wants In Ha to be hers only.

Kim Chang Mo, a Law School Student, 23 years old

He is from the countryside, when he passed the exam and got accepted by the university, he became famous in his village even the logistics officer came to visit him and encouraged him.
When he came to Seoul, in his hands there were no books but only a guitar.
Because of his poor family, he can’t afford to live in the dorm. In Ha let him in and lent a place for him. He goes to “sara B” everyday just like he works there. He does not have an outstanding appearance and he is poor, but if you hear him sing you will never forget him.

Na In Sook, a Domestic College Student, 21 years old

She is a wealthy girl but doesn’t have much of common sense.
She is talkative and mean to others, but in fact, she doesn’t want to hurt anybody. She is kind of cute with her silliness.
She always fights with Chang Mo. But one day she saw Chang Mo’s sexy abs and that was it. She totally fell for him.
