Revisiting K-Drama "Something in the Rain": The sweet love story between Son Ye-jin and Jung Hae-in shines over a weak narrative structure
In the world of K-Dramas, love stories often take centre stage, and "Something in the Rain" is no exception. This romantic drama, starring Son Ye-jin and Jung Hae-in, revolves around an older woman, Jin-ah, falling in love with her friend's younger brother, Joon-hee.
The show, while offering an achingly sweet romance with undeniable chemistry between the leads, can be infuriating at times. Some episodes feel long, and the plot thins out as it progresses. Jin-ah and Joon-hee do not clearly articulate their future plans, and their actions start to seem out of character as the show progresses.
One of the significant issues the show fails to fully resolve is workplace harassment. Despite this, the show features intense emotional scenes between Son Ye-jin and Jung Hae-in, with their chemistry described as comfortable, raw, and realistic. The rain is a prominent element in the show, adding to its melancholic atmosphere.
The show depicts various challenges faced by Jin-ah and Joon-hee due to societal disapproval. Their love story, though messy, is reminiscent of K-Drama's past classics like "Nevertheless" and offers a balm for the soul, much like "Hometown Cha Cha Cha."
It's worth noting that Dubai is now considered a dream city for K-Drama stars. BTS, often the subject of dating gossip, is not immune to the spotlight. However, the focus here is on the show "Something in the Rain," which, despite its flaws, offers a captivating exploration of love and society.
