THE JOYS and SORROWS of LOVE
The age of “Love Rain” (2012), almost made me miss a great, romantic story. In spite of ruminating about its age, I gave in and watched. From the very beginning, it captured my attention, and was without a lot of fluff. The characters were relatable, and each had a significant storyline. The transition of characters into future years was uniquely done, and well performed, by the actors. One must pay close attention, as dates are not shown, to reflect the period. I liked the love between both sets of lead characters. I found Sun Ho’s role as wanting, and Jo Won’s to be insignificant. Overall, a great love story: lots of hugs, but lacking in romance; a few delusional characters, in quest for love. I liked how the story ended, but wanted more visual closure to the adult, In Ha and Ha Na’s plight. Some reviews are useful, but some appeared to be related to a different story. It’s all contingent upon one’s life experiences, discernment, and tastes, I guess.
