Jang Keun Suk and SNSD’s Yoona seen in Hokkaido, Japan in a romantic mood

Recently, Jang Keun Suk and SNSD’s Yoona who star in KBS’s new drama series Love Rain left for Hokkaido, Japan for a location shooting.

Love Rain is a series composed of an “analogue” love story back in the 70s and a “digital” one in the present time, 2012. As the shooting for the 70s began in September last year and wrapped up recently, the production crew went on location in Hokkaido, Japan for the scene in which Seo Joon (played by Jang Keun Suk) and Hana (played by Yoona) meet for the first time in 2012.

Besides Jang and Yoona, Jung Jin Young (plays Seo In Ha in 2012) and Kim Young Kwang (plays Han Tae Sung in 2012) will also be on location in Japan for Love Rain which is planned to be about ten days long.

The location shooting will be about the cynical photographer Seo Joon and the international student Lee Hana running into each other by destiny.

As Jang and Yoona are expected to play an ecstatic scene having a beautiful snowy landscape of Hokkaido in the scenery, the location in Japan has built even more expectations for the viewers who are looking forward to the first episode.

A staff member of Yoon’s Color, the production company of the series, says, “Location in Hokkaido will be about shooting the turning point of the series as time swiftly moves from the 70s to 2012. If we say that the story in the 70s projected some classic emotions, the one in 2012 will appeal with a trendy sensation, exposing the viewers to an unusual experience as if watching two series at the same time. We hope you will like the series as we are pouring our best in capturing some beautiful Hokkaido sceneries in the camera.”

The first episode of KBS’s new drama series Love Rain will broadcast on March 26.
