i enjoyed it
some parts had me on the edge of my seat
i like the twists in it
i never could figure out when they would switch bodies
the end threw me for a loop (i didn't know what he was doing)
classic kdrama
poor girl rich boy body switching the plot was refreshing 10
the acting was okay there were scenes that could have been done better (the heroine's body language didn't fit her the scene) but that could've been the writer's fault (if she so fit and a stunt woman she should be able to fight well)
the music i got tired of hearing
rewatch just got a 7 cause i watched king 2 hearts 10 times where as I watched this one 5
overall i'll give it a 8 and a half (since there is no 8 and a half we'll round up)
still this drama has more good than bad give it a try

Wow, so many plot twists... There is such an emotional and psychological depth to this drama... The writing is fantastic and I didn't find myself skipping scenes like I usually do... MARS is definitely a mature drama that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster.. Although it is heavy, there are many cute, funny scenes to lighten to mood, too. The ending is complete and there are no loose ends!
Acting/Cast 10/10
All of the actors were amazing, but Barbie and Vic especially stood out to me. First, their relationship is so believable. They have such great chemistry together. Coming from someone who normally watches Kdrama, it was so refreshing to see the main couple so comfortable together (even showing affection for one another in a non-awkward way, lol). Vic is especially amazed me... I don't want to give away any plot points, so I won't say more! :)
Music 10/10
WOW! I usually never pay attention to music of a drama... but this drama's music is absolutely breathtaking. Especially Ling (Zero)... I liked it so much I'm learning to play it on my guitar and piano... Look up the english translations to the songs, because they have such meaning and add depth to the story!
Rewatch Value 6/10
Ok, I never really rewatch dramas... So this is just a personal opinion... I know a LOT of people have rewatched this drama, so maybe you'll want to watch it again... Because it IS one of THE best dramas I've watched.
Overall 10/10
Please watch this drama; I promise you won't regret it!

Story: The first 4 eps take place in the 70s and tells the romance/breakup of the couple (who becomes the older couple in the present storyline 2012). I'll tell you the truth, I did find these eps boring and i was ready to drop but i wanted to see what the present story-line would be like. Well ep 5 happened and i was quite surprised by how light everything was and i found myself watching a romantic comedy instead of a melo (i was quite confused). Well i was intrigued for a few eps after that but then things werent really going anywhere and nothing interesting outside of many tears (now i know why its a melo)that most of the characters shed due to the complicated relationships (Parent romance). This can make anyone become tired after watching the same thing for a while. The ending was the best!
Acting/Cast: Jang Gun Suk definitely is a chameleon and can make me believe any role he takes on. I think the girl from Girls Generation did fine (this is the first thing ive seen her in) but she did have the luck of having chemistry with JGS. I do think any other actress her age could have played the same role and probably better. The supporting cast did an amazing job cause i ended up liking most of the side characters.
Music: I loved the score and the OST fit the drama well.
Rewatch: Honestly if the drama didnt have the great casting and the ending that it did, i probably wouldnt want to watch this again.
Overall Love Rain has a plot that might tire you but its definitely a must watch for Jang Gun Suk, the beautiful cinematography, interesting side characters, and great ending.

The story actually isn’t anything new or special and there’s no exciting moments or surprises/twists. You won’t laugh or experience gut wrenching emotions. The romance also isn't anything special. However, one thing that this drama does have is fascinating characters.
There are many main characters so a lot of the scenes are just them interacting. What makes that so fascinating is that all the characters come with a past their not proud of but together they overcome these pasts and loneliness to find their own happiness. To me that’s what the title means is trying to convey. As each episode passes by you want to know more about these characters. What brings these characters to life are the amazing actors portraying them. All 6 main actors did a very believable portrayal. I think the stand out though was Kim Min Hee. Her character kind of seems bi polar but she has this way of making Mi Ri make sense. Na Moon Hee plays Jalmoni that grounds the main characters. She plays a deaf/mute character and although she has no spoken lines her amazing acting shows through her facial expressions. She gives a very moving performance.
To some, this drama might not be their cup of tea but for people who want a more realistic drama with fascinating characters I dare you to give this a try. I usually don’t like realistic dramas like this one but I was pleasantly surprised and took away life lessons.

The acting was good, because I have to say that they don't kiss once or even say I love you once. But while watching this movie , I laughed, scream and cried with them at the right place. You feel the love they have for one another, to the point that if they had put a kiss or the eternal I love you in there , it would not feel the same at all.
I totally recommend this movie , if you are looking for a good dose of realistic acting , and a story that make you think that their are more to life than the daily hassles that plague us.

I did like the updates to the story, some of the characters are older than they were, and some are younger. Yeoje was also way less pervy than Jotei, but the girls in Yeoje created senseless arguments. It was like the writter said, "these two are supposed to be in a conflict here". FOr the age of the girls the conflicts did not make sense like it did in Jotei where they were younger and immature. The use of technology is something that could not have been used in Jotei becasue it was so old, so it was cool to see gadgets used, in some cases i yelled "ha ha gotcha!"
I did not like the acting. It was awful, the actors were in some cases stiff, over emoting, stone faced, and in some cases looked like they came from acting 101. the main offender is the really hot male lead (who gets points for shirtless fan service), he had exactly 2 expressions and a really cute smile. I loved Matsuda in his role and I wanted Kang ji sub to bring it, but he dropped it somewhere before getting to set. The female lead wasnt really compelling either, although she had more expressions, i really hated her "i am strong" facade when she wasnt strong. Oh and her alligator tear scenes are hilarious.
Although the cast is really great looking, Yeoje didnt do something that Jotei was able to; Jotei made you feel for the characters, and even in the absurd situations they were in you rooted for them. Yeoje toyed with the main concept and in the end you didnt care whether everyone went up in flames or not.
Its not worth the work to find the drama (it was on cable tv), learn Korean to translate it, and then watch a over dramatizied version of Jotei. watch the first 3-4 episodes and then skip to the last one. If you watched the original you didnt miss anything.
p.s. the ending is the same.

I didnt think i would like it but i did. Aside from the afore mentioned facts, and what you may have read in the summary, this movie is about a man moving on from his past. the uber hot and straight lead character Jin-Hyuk is looking to moving on from his past that has stopped him from living his life. while looking to conquer his fears he handles a regret aka Sun woo. The excruciatingly hot Sun-woo is gay and has some fears of his own to overcome. Together they fight, make cake, and form a friendship.
Star of this film is Kim Jae Wook, whom i am now convinced IS gay. He was soooo convincing and played it soooo well. Kudos!
The story moves really fast in the beginning looses some of the charm it had in the anime, but thats to be expected because its a movie. I also felt that the movie version was more grown up and adult like. For the adults there is a bit of suspense and mystery sprinkled at the end.
I didnt like the confusion of the main character, and his indecisiveness, but it was funny. Lastly, I marked it down for the vague musical they performed. literally there was about 15 minutes of them lip syncing to some ridiculous libretto with people popping out of place and singing along. otherwise watch and get a sweet tooth!

I loved this drama from the very beginning. The characters were well written and made me feel sad, happy, angry with them when they were feeling it. The melo part of it didn't seem forced or over the top and fake. For me, it flowed naturally from the actors portraying these characters. The cute, "mushy" moments made me gush every single time. Even the minor ones were great. They brought comic relief when it was absolutely needed.
This drama felt like watching a movie the whole time. The directing and cinematography was excellent. I also loved the OST. I think it went perfectly with drama and it completely enhanced the feelings the actors were portraying. I didn't give it a full 10, only because Ha Na's incessant crying for a few episodes got a little too much for me. But who knows? I might change my mind and give it a full 10 later on since for me this was a great drama, complete with great directing and great touching music.

The rest of this drama was also just superb - Geun Seuk and Yoona are terrific actors and they are so cute to watch. I loved the personalities of the young ones more, but I'm glad that the older generation was different and even after 30 years as another actors played In Ha and Yoon Hee - their personalities stayed the same.
The "bad" characters - I'm glad they didn't stay as bad as they tried to be - I like happy endings for eveyone and if their bad actions are explainable a bit at least.
The storyline was masterpiece - I like these kinds of stories.
I loved the music also - it's memorable and sweet. ;)
Acting like I said was terrific - of course, Geun Seuk is my favourite actor so why should I complain.
And I would rewatch many parts of it :)
Anyways, this drama was perfect for me. I would always recommend anyone to watch it. I know that there are different things people value in dramas - but it's certainly watchable and interesting for anyone who likes romantic dramas.

the acting was awesome. im yoon ah did wonderfully as yoon hee. and jang geun seok looks good no matter what he does. although i liked him better as the caring, sensitive at the same time decisive seo joon. :)
the music was epic.very catchy. it sticks with you (and then you cant get out of your head). the soundtrack was well and aptly utilized. it balanced and supplemented the dramatic scenes as well as the cute yoon-ha and the seo joon-hana moments. :)
mi ho and hye joong made wonderful bad-but-pitiable-and-not-so-bad guys. hye joong in particular was quite impressive. there were moments in the drama where i quite literally wanted to rip her head off, but in the end i couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
in my opinion, the end felt slightly rushed. for half the drama you go through mourning for in ha and anticipating more "unseen" obstacles for the joon-hana. so the fact that it ended on such an abruptly good note was kind of unsettling for me. the end still managed to bring a smile on my face though :) it was warm, touching, cute and sunny :)
i also liked how hye joong changes her personality a little in the end but still manages to remain the same character.
on the overall, i would rate this drama an 8. :)

I like Yoon Ah in this drama, but I will admit to not liking HaNa that much. She was cute in the beginning, but her attitude started to get on my nerves at times. Geun Seok can do no wrong in my eyes. I just adore him and I think he did a great job playing the young In Ha as well as Joon. The adult Yoon Hee/Lee Mi Sook and In Ha/Jeong Jin Yeong were AWESOME!!! I really think that the casting person did a great job at finding people that look similar enough to be the older versions of Yoon Hee and In Ha. The side stories were ok also, but they really don’t add to the story overall. There is some excellent eye candy in this drama though. ;-)
I LOVE THE MUSIC. I sing it in my head all the time.
I would probably rewatch this again when I want to watch something feel good. This is a great drama…You should watch it!!!

The plot, although a cliché it was very interesting and made you wanted to watch even more. There were bits where it got a bit boring but every drama has that.
The music is the BEST i loved it so much and it goes well with each situation that happen.
The cast were great cant complain, expect some characters existence was irrelevance.
Overall 100% worth watching. :)

but i thought of giving it a try once i exhausted my drama list.
and boy am i glad i did.
this movie had me crying like a baby by the end of it. although the plot is very overboard-unreal-dramatic (i mean how can a relationship go so absurdly wrong? how can all the bad tragic stuff happen to one cute innocent harmless couple?), this movie had it all-romance, (initial)cutesy-comic scenes (they're very hard to find later on), beautiful, admirable love of the purest kind. and tragedy. alot of tragedy.
this movie is probably not for practical people or people who look for logic in the stuff they're watching. but if you're looking for melodrama, romance, dreams and inspiration, then this movie is a must-watch. :)

This drama has great actors and actresses. They did their job well, especially the one who acted out the character of the fake In Joo, which I think she did justice to the role because I hated her character too much. As for the 3 main leads, Seong Yoo-Ri, Lee Sang Woo, and Joo Sang Wook, they all did well, although I can say that the writer should have put more depth on JSW character as Jae Ha, such as giving us some background on Jae Ha's childhood on why he grew up with his grandmother, where are his parents, etc, in that way we could have had more empathy and connection with his character, unlike the character of Do-Yoon. Maybe that is why I feel more connected with the character of Do-Yoon aka "Haemil" and leans more towards the love angle between Do-Yoon/Haemil and Joong-Ho.
Furthermore, although I least expect the ending of the drama and quite dissatisfied with it, too much open ended and not enough closure on the characters, overall it is still a good drama to watch.
